Rinse Repeat

Breakeven.

Win a stack with a set

Lose one on the next table with KK / bricked super draw / underset blah blah

Rinse

Repeat

Now that would be a shite update wouldn’t it? But that’s the general gist of recent poker activity. Exciting huh?

That fishy site from the last post is just that – real fishy. Its like a throw back to the days when I first started playing cash at 20nl. Limp fold limp limp complete check, 5 people see flop, Small Blinds 82o stacks Cut-Offs over limped KK. The play at 200nl is shocking. Seriously. My colour coding notes system had to be revised. I have only one ‘positive’ colour now – red is assigned to ‘competent’ and even then some of those tagged with that open limp with alarming regularity. Major downside to this apparent gold-min is the lack of hand history – villain calls and mucks and I have no idea if he’s just called me down with TP or 5th pair. I’ve requested HH’s by email but they haven’t been sent. Also the min buy-in is just 10bb’s. There are only a few rat-holing SS’ers but loads of recreational 10bb guys who do random stuff. I’m awaiting results of withdrawal and promptness of rakeback payment before recommending to anyone.

It’s almost a relief to play on Ipoker after that. My affiliate has set up a deal with Deuces Cracked for free membership for raking a certain amount on my skin. Obviously to get his low-rakers to put some more hands in. Well I’m well above the required amount even in my quietest months, so yay free stuff. I think I’ve previously watched all the best NLHE stuff there on their ‘free’ weeks. Any recommendations warmly received.

Busy week of drinking, pool, football and snooker coming up. That difficult first million will have to wait a bit.

Big fish in a small pond

Signed up for a new site. Just as a back-up one really so that if my main site goes down I can log in somewhere else. Check out the lobby screenshot. The figures DO NOT LIE!



Obviously software sucks, no HEM support and you have to email them for hand histories. Other than that, I'm in heaven.

Back to it, I got fish to fry
PS No you haven't missed the sites name - I haven't mentioned it :P

The 2nd most human eyes I've ever seen on a dog

It’s that time again. Another month gone and time to update this old blog. The detailed daily planning of October went well. Unfortunately I had a lot of life shit to sort late in the month so poker came a distant last in my priorities for a period. I’ve played a few ‘meh’ sessions in the last few days to get back into it – all at 100nl where I can loosen up a bit.

In the end, October was another month of small profit. My November plan is laid out and I expect volume to be slightly higher this month - partly as a result of good planning and partly because I have been comfortable adding extra tables. I’m pretty happy playing up to 9 when at peak concentration. Probably could do 12 but my PC might not like that too much.

This months caveat is Football Manager 2011. Must…. Resist…. (at least until I’ve got out of the Swedish 4th tier with Hogaborg on FM10).

A quick stuff & things update:
Snooker. Is a shit game. Top of the league but hating every moment.

Pool. Is the schnizzles. We’re joint top with 4 games left. Our lead at the top of the drinking league is unassailable.

Rock and fkin Roll. The kids played their first gig the other night and it went really well. They opened on a bill of 5 local bands and played 4 songs. They were the only band to get into the Halloween theme – the boy being a zombie gangster and the girl a slightly more glamorous spider bride. They also played all their own material. The only downside is that it was a pretty low turn-out. Made the mosh-pit quite entertaining (and no, I didn’t… but was tempted).

Work. As of yesterday we’ve employed 18 new under-trained monkeys. GG us.

Football. Come on you Spurs.
