Heater + Baby news

Been on a nice little heater since I started back at the $2.5/180s on the 8th of July. Its a welcome change and lets hope it continues I actually have my brother in law to thank, hes just started playing poker and has been asking me about it. Ive been trying to teach him to become profitable and though that I got my motivation back. I want to get back to when I had a $3k roll and playing the $8s $15s etc. My bankroll is sitting at $400 and I'm just going to play the $2.5s until I reach $800 then start to mix in the $3.5rs and the $8s If they go well then at $1500 I will start to mix in the $15s. Profit so far: stats so far:

In other news the Wife is 18 weeks pregnant with our first child, 10th of dec the due date so its going to be a busy Christmas!

$64

Im back, from monday the 14th of may starting with $64 im back at the $2.5/180s. Not much of a roll to start with but hopefully I can start to build it up! post is going to be short and sweet will do session updates.

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!
