much needed update

Sorry Ive been a lazy cunt, I havent stopped playing or anything or gone on a big downswing and gone busto! Just kinda got out of blogging and forgot about it really.

Well since my last post at the end of march, I did end up withdrawing $900 from my roll to part pay for a holiday to Cyprus and other suff. Since then I have been grinding my bankroll back up. over the past few months Ive made the $900 back. Ive been on a massive heater at the 2/180s and had some pretty decent scores in some scheduled mtts.I came pretty close actually in the $3r $60k gtd on stars, came 15/6000+ for $300 but obviously my exit hand was my AK v AJ aipf. Win that and I easy make the final table all with 4 figure cashes! fucking J on the flop.

2/180 stats/heater:


I think the heater in these does coincide with me starting to call alot lighter and take more notice to my stack size and other peoples before and around the money bubble.


Ive moved all my roll onto stars because it was doing my nut in all over the place and because Ive stopped playing cash theres no real need to be on any other site. So I'm just going to continue grinding the 2/180s and scheduled mtts for sometime.

Over the past few days Ive been thinking what I want from poker and obviously I'd love to be playing at a higher limit with my bankroll, feeling as easy and confidant as I do at the 2/180s but that's not going to happen for a while I think. I mean the jump from the 2's to the 12/180s is pretty big and the 7's don't fill. Maybe my other option is the 6/45's. Ive played 45 mans before and its just a crap shoot and I feel that I would have to 8 table them at least and I'm not comfortable with that.

So my conclusion for the time being is that I'm just grinding the 2/180s to give me a very comfortable bankroll which enables me to play as many scheduled mtts as I want, which hopefully one day I might hit that big score.

anyway I'm going to try and update at least twice a month, nn.

Bankroll $1600

Bankroll high/low volume

Well since my last post ive not played that much poker, kept grinding the 2/180s but only managing no more than 8 a day so I can hardly call it grinding. Been mixing in the 3/180 rebuys. So close to shipping one. Was HU and after 10mins of raises,3bets and shoves, I had the villan covered and Held JJ. anyway HH below.

Cash game stats

Pokertracker 3 updated their software to allow the old cryptologic hands to be stored in the database, ive been waiting for this for quite some time. So Since I started playing cash, Ive got all my 10nl career in PT3. Anyway heres my stats: any comments would be nice.





Think I need to just accept that im going to be playing cash and mtts, instead of moaning like my last post and embrace the variance which Ive not properly been hit with yet at 10nl. 20nl and 25nl is a different story but I still hope to move up soon.

41% over 1100 games pretty annoying

Is that bad?what ROI should you be looking at?

I not sure mate just that I was near the 60% mark a few hundred games back, still ok I guess.


Bankroll: $1400

fuck off cash again...

meh, ive totally spewed off about $200 playing cash over the past week, bout $100 at rush on FT an $100 on purple lounge after getting off to a great start playing solid Ive just totally fucked up my cash game. was down to my last $50 at Fulltilt so decided to spin that up playing 50nl rush. lost it in my 1st hand with A7, A on flop, villan had AJ which was so fucking obvious. Kind of my biggest set back for a while. At the end of Jan I was nearly touching $1500 bankroll, now its sat at $1135, so ive rounded all my money up and put it all back on stars and im going back to grinding the 180mans. will have to sign up to poker idol some other day tripz dont feel good playing else where other than pstars atm.

maybe cash isnt for me, I dont study nowhere near enough as I should be. just stuck on a skill level which I dont see getting past.

Least with Mtts I might luckbox a decent score someday.

and I aint even doing that well at the 2/180s anymore, my ROI is dropping quite fast, 41% over 1100 games pretty annoying. need to get motivated.

anyway just a rant post, annoyed at myself for losing some of my roll so easily..

rush poker, new phone and lazy blogging

First of all sorry for being so lazy and not updating this blog enough. Will try and do a new post at least once a week from now on.

Since my last post ive still been grinding 10nl with a few shots at 25nl too, and that is still going very well.
Last week I bought a new phone nokia 5800 and I havent stopped fucking about with it since, which means ive hardly played much poker. The poker that I have played as all been on fulltilt's new rush poker. I didnt have any roll on FT so I deposited $40 from my stars account and ran it up to $120 at its highest point. The swings are crazy also tilting like a cock doesnt help.

10nl for January, about 250 hands at 25nl here too


I was all ready to go to the live event at creswell last post but I decided to check the postcode on their forum and noticed a post canceling the event because of the bad weather. Would of been my luck that getting there only to find that it wasnt on.

why are you playing $10nl if you have $1300 in your roll? not a dig just wondering

Im still playing 10nl because most of my roll was made in the 2/180s, im running at 8 PTBB/100 over 40k hands at 10nl I take shots at 25nl sometimes. dont feel as comfortable losing a buyin at 25nl has 10nl, which hopefully I can overcome.

Will do a goals post for feb over the weekend

Bankroll: $1360

january so far...

1st week in jan has been pretty decent for me cash wise, Ive hardly had any volume in the 2/180s, Just been playing 10nl and running hot. Ive got all into cash again, feels so much better learning, reading about cash strategy's theres so much more to the game when, compared with grinding mtts and sngs.



I also think playing the 2/180s and dealing with the redic variance in them has helped me cope at cash, I dont seem as tilty. so we'll see at the end of January how I am for the month and I might move up to 25nl for February.

Anyone thats into cash up to 100nl and more this blog that I found is pretty decent read and very interesting too, is certainly going help me with my game.

2010.............

Well happy newyear all.

Hopefully this year I can improve on what was a decent 2009. It really was my 1st full year taking poker seriously and turning a profit. Most of the monies made where from the 2/180s at stars then about $200 at 10nl, which puts the bankroll at around $1250 for 2010.

10nl:


2/180s:


I'm quite disaponted with how my cash game progressed throughout the year, the first 4 months of last year I was doing really well, then since I found the 2/180s I kinda didnt put as much effort in the cash side. It didnt really help with the redic coolers and beats when I took shots at 25nl Think that put me off playing cash.

Goals for 2010:

Carry on beating the 2/180s
Move upto/take shots the 12/180s by Aug time or 3k bankroll
Find a decent live game to become a regular at to get used to live poker.
Have a $5k bankroll by Jan 2011.
