well since my last post I was very unlucky not to bink a 12/180 came 2nd instead still a great return but would of been nice to say I actually won one. As the swings are Ive still been taking shots at the 12's but not even cashed in my last 10 games.
Ive been finding it hard to find the time to fit the 180 mans in on stars, So Ive withdrawn $150 and deposited it into fulltilt to give me 15 buyins to play 10nl rush. Dont think I could play 25nl rush yet id be far too tilty. Ive played about 1300 hands so far and half a buyin down but feels pretty easy to make some $$$.
Just a short update cos the missus wants to go shopping...bye

Milestone!
bankroll is now just over $2k for the first time. Just been stepping up the volume in the 2/180s on my days off. Suits me to a tee actually, working 4 on 4 off is great!
Finished the 20x 12/180s with about $100 loss, Did run bad towards the end but its not put me off and will be doing another 20 soon.
2/180 stats:
Been looking into playing at Fulltilt poker and was going to register a new account with new details hoping to get rackback but Ive been told that FT are really onto this and will just close it down. So I logged into my old account updated my details then fired off an email to them. Just stating that I wanted to play on FT but will not without rackback, about an hour later I got a reply saying that rakebackpros will be getting in contact with me to set up the rackback. niceone!
In other news, Its getting closer to my wedding will be 2 weeks on sunday. Im shitting it about the speech I have to do before the wedding dinner. Going to have to get my best googling head on for that!

stag do blablabla 'insert title here'
meh another few months gone without updating my blog sorry to the few that actually read it :).
anyways Im due to go on my stag do on friday down to newquay for the bank holiday weekend, what a fucking mare that as been to orgainise. Started booking it about 3 months go had about 8-10 peeps wanting to come then when the money was due for the rooms about 4 pulled out. Then yesterday another m8 who said hes defo coming 100% pulled out grrr... So that leaves 4 of us. Should still have a good laugh, got a room spare in the digs if anyone is interested...
onto the poker front. The bankroll is still moving upwards at a steady rate, Which is a good thing its just that ive been thinking I should take more risks for bigger gain. For example Im going to have a 20 game shot at the $12/180s. See how I do and basically play some more, but if the Bankroll goes below $1500 then I'll just focus on the 2's to build it back up.
Ive been playing some $6/18 mans due to a challenge on I did pretty well in them too so carried on playing them. Only a really small sample but they feel pretty easy.
Since the last post Ive purchased another monitor which now I can comfortably 6-8 table with a view to work upto 12. Had pretty decent results because of the extra tables too.

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 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.
No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players • PokerStars
I was out the next hand where I shoved 109o into his K10. The money jumped up quite abit too. Nevertheless its still the most ive won in a torney!
Im rchpro btw.
Anyways Im just going to try and play more, because Im going on hols the 1st of may for a week to somewhere hot and I might have to dip into my poker funds to afford it.

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.
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..
