past year

Just been trying to get to the bottom of my lack of success at the 2.5/180s. I know that Ive been in a few awful swings but I didnt think there was much I could do other than up my volume and try to play through the varience. Im down to my last $100 so once that goes im not redepositing. Im not going to deposit all the cash Ive won back into poker whats the point. Oh and the irony is that the car I bought last march that I cleared out my bankroll for a deposit, im getting rid. Currently in £2100 of negative equity with it but mrs want rid and I can see why.

anyways my awful past 12months graph at the 2/180s

update...

Sorry for abandoning this blog whoever reads it... For the past few months since my last entry I have hardly played any poker. The motivation wasnt there and felt when I did play I couldnt wait for my session to end and would often tilt out of a few games just because I couldnt be arsed.

Now over the past week Ive slowly managed to get some motivation back for the 180s and I redeposited $157 to grind the $2.5/180s. So far my roll is at $236 after 70 games.



Going to try and get into some theory and learn more about the mathmatics of poker and watch a few vids.

will update more often :)

Jared Tandler rtr coup!

Well thanks to Yorkshire pud whos blog can be found here, Mr Jared Tandler author of thementalgameofpoker has agreed to do a Q&A session over at Raisetheriver, So sign up and become apart of the UK's No.1 poker forum.

Anyways since my last post Ive done nothing other than lose $$$ playing mtts again not doing well in anything else either. Think It all stems from the loss of motivation to play the $2.5/180s.

Ive decided I need to learn more about poker and Im not going to do that being stuck att mttsngs all my life. So im going back to cash starting at 10nl with $400 and get back into playing post flop.

Back to normality! and Sep targets

Well my Bad run finished in the $2.5/180s atlast, Had a 30 game sesh last thursday and shipped two! about time aswell. Didnt stop there though on monday I finished 2nd in a $3r/180 should of tid but lost, my K7s v Q3s fucking 3 on the turn!. I Also have just come 3rd in a $8/180 so things are looking up. :)

Just finished my shift in at work too so Ive got a nice 4 days to grind. I Hope to do really well in september. I posted my goals at Raisetheriver But I think I might update them alittle.

[ ] Mix $8s and $3rs at 60/40 with the $2s

[ ] Play more than 500 combined

[ ] Reach $1200 Bankroll

[ ] Once above $1000 start taking shots in mtts again.

anyways will leave with ss of my 180 career lol at the swing ffs!



Bankroll: $700

$2.5/180s since I came back from holiday...

Cant say that ive changed anything to my normal game? just suffering the worse downswing in 3.5k games...

159 played since 26th of july -53.24 ROI -$211.63 LOL.

obviously im running shit...



Had to redeposit $200 to play them lastweek that was down to $50 at one point, just managed a 4th, 9th and a few min cashes today. Been so many beats in important spots early on the final tables.... heres for some run good!

Been also looking at my sharkscope @ the $2s, running at 3% roi over the last 1000 games..... is there a leak?



Bankroll $101

New Look, Long overdue update!

Well Its been ages since I last posted, way back in april when I had successfully rebuilt my bankroll from the withdraw for my car. Since then I withdrew again this time for car insurance/holiday to ibiza. I left myself $350 so it was back to the 2/180s for me.

Things havent really progressed much since the begining of june Im still turning a profit at the 2s but ive been playing the schedualed mtts and it doesnt take alot to deplete the roll. So as of today im sticking at the 2/180s untill my roll is at $350 then I will start mixing in a few 8s and 3rs. Cant belive I once had a $3k roll and was comfortably playing the old 12/180s. Now its a shocking $88 i need some rungood! (currently 9 tabling as I type this)

Decided to change the blog about abit and update the format. Going to be updating alot more hopefully I can stay motivated to play poker and blog about it. I think the pokerstars promotion allowing 10x faster vip levels towards platnum star has helped with that.

anyways will post updates on my roll and how im doing more often, Ive also added a twitter gadget so follow me and I do the same back,

I'll leave with a random pic :P

bad in the 2's good in the 12s.....

Well since last update in march Ive just been continuing to grind the 2s, 12s and 7/180 mans, Not massive volume but still trying to improve on that side. In the biggest downswing/breakeven stretch in my 2/180 career at the moment which is alittle worrying.




Maybe I'm looking into it too much because my 12/180 career is still going well and I cant see that I'm playing any different to the last 2000 2/180 mans. Suppose Its better to run good at the 12s than the 2s :P

12s:


Since the start of this year I sorted pokertracker 3 out to automatically track my sng tourneys, wish I had done this sooner easier than using sharkscope. Been a pretty profitable year so far.





Away from poker and Im going to old trafford to see the return leg v chelski on Tuesday managed to get a ticket from a lad at work thanks :P will only be my 2nd time there too cant wait, Hopefully utd will rap the tie up. 2-0 IMO!.

bankroll : $1920
