UKIPT Edinburgh - Shares being Sold in Stars Sats

Looking for backers for the UKIPT Edinburgh event sats on Stars with view of qualifying and playing the event, which is a £500 + £50 entry fee.

The schedule for sats are as follows:

£5.50 rebuy
£8.80 rebuy
£22 f/o

which all lead into the final sat which is
£108.50 which gaurentees 2 seats but with 1 in 5 players making it its good value.

The schedule i would play would be:
1 x £5.50 rebuy (£20.50)
1 x £8.80 rebuy (£32.80)
1 x £22 f/o (£22)
1 x £108.50 (£108.50)

Total = £183.80

I am looking for £120 worth of backing (66%ish) and obviously if i satty in the %% carries over to the event in Edinburgh.

Now if i satty into the £108.50 game via the sub sats, i get this in TD, and if i cash but dont get a seat in any qualifer i get ££

All of this will be paid back to the backers at the % ratio.

£12 = 7% of all winnings.

Please note that i am only gonna play the package qualifiers as tbh could do with the flight and hotel being paid for by Stars!!

Any interest let me know
Cheers

World Cup, Staking and Vomit in my mouth

Staking and other news

Back on Stars playing the HU sngs Turbos, $6 stake and cruising at roughly a 21% roi which is pretty solid.  The plan for the immediate future is to completely hammer these as well as putting in the volume for my STAKER..........Yes you heard it, My Staker.

Not gonna release names or sites but i have the current deal set up

$5 HU sngs on ipoker network.
50/50 spilt of profit each month + if i acheive a 5%roi or better i get 50% of any Rakeback bonus' (now on this site my staker has sorted me out 50% rake so therefore id get 25% of total rake earnt each month)

Luckily for me this guy is offering the deal all the way up to the $100 stakes on iPoker, so will be looking to impress and keep up volume, profit and make it worthwhile for us both.
I will start by only 2x tabling to see how i go on the software as it will take some getting used to and the traffic is obv not gonna be as busy as stars.

This next month is gonna be mad with volume and i am gonna be very very very focused on 2 goals and will plan out the month as best i can, in terms of when where and volume i play.

I ultimately wanna put in 400 games for my backer in July and hope to achieve 20% roi (which is currently what i make on Stars) this would net me roughly $200 + $25 (rake)

I also wanna play 200 games on Stars and keep my roi up earning $250 ish

GL GL GL GL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF is happening to me?! Old Age FTL!

Well its the last night of freedom, as the missus is back on Monday - and as i have pool alllllllllll day tomoroow i only have/had tonight to grind.
So in preperation i went and got some bacon, coke, water, cigs and bread so i can make some juicy ass Bacon Sarnies and get a real good grind on the go till 2am when TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) Finale airs on ESPN, so i can watch Court Magee get KTFO - the guy looks like a Gargoyle - Ugly Mutha Fucker!!! (Not that id say that to his face mind! ;) )
Well i cant focus on playing at all, eyes have started watering and feeling crazy tired!!!!!!

I know i SHOULD get an early night as pool is about 2hrs 30mins drive away tomoz, so its a early start, but i really wanted to grind!!

I now know my biggest enemy is VOLUME as ive just filtered out all the shit on my SScope graph and have seen i have the following stats:

Played 121
Ave Profit = $1
ROI - 21%
Winnings = $156





My biggest issue is Volume and i think that is driven by my lack of care for Rake on Stars.......ive let myself go down to a Bronzestar since playing cash and now cant be fucked to get it back up and reap the benefits.
Amazingly ive played nearly 200 hu sngs already this MONTH on the BOSS network (Poker.co.uk)
and this is largely due to the fact that i get 30% Rakeback and the 5e HU turbos only have a 25c rake and therefore i need to play 400 jus tto get back 30e.

Looking more closely at the $6.25 HU Turbos on stars, you get 1.38FPPs for each u play and you need to earn 750 just to move up to the SILVERSTAR status.  Once here u earn 1.5FPP for every 1VPP u earn so it starts to get better.  GOLDSTAR may be a little tough to reach so ill set sites lower.

Its pretty certain ill start July with BRONZESTAR but will set myself teh challenge of the following:
A) Making SILVERSTAR 
B) Maintain an 15% ROI 
C) Only play HU Turbo games!

This could be tough and my rough calculations mean i would need to play 550 HU sngs all at the $6.25 level.
NOW if i maintain the 15% ROI that would equate to a cool $515 profit in the month. 

Now that would be a result!

140 HU sngs a week is a FUCKING LOT!!!!

But i like a challenge

Cach you on the Flip Flop ;) :p ;)

Quick Stars $6 HU session before bed

As mentioned prior after running cold @ $11 HU sng Turbos on Stars i moved back down to the $6 turbos which i had a good solid ROI in.

Well just put a session in of 13 games and won 9 lost 4 so made a cheeky 5 buyins, real happy with the way i played considering 2 of my losses were Q2 v K2 on a QK22A board and another to a guy that shoved all in EVERY HAND, i called with 66 he had A4 and turned an A :( but other than that im pretty happy

After speaking to a friend a small possibilty of something in the pipeline, and yea, feeling good!!!

There is life in the Old D0nk yet!

Peace Out

What a day!

Well had my 2nd Interview for a new job which seemed to go really well, and considering i didnt feel 100% prepared i am fairly confident, this good start to the day was marred when my tooth broke in half eating a Ham & Mustard Sarnie, FML!!!

Came home to watch some shit ass football game that i dont want to even mention and at half time decide to grind on PCUK again.

It started of really well, playing great and winning 5/6 and then the PCUK doomswitch hit leaving me on 5/14 wins.
Not once was i behind which is crazy!  Just to wet your appitite.................................

AK
AQ
46<57 on a 578A board (river = 7!) OBV!
AJ
KQ<45
JJ<99

As you can see i run UBERHOT!!!!! All the time which kinda makes me think that maybe some people are just DESTINED not to win, i know people go through hot and cold decks all the time but i swear i dont know of a single poker player that loses 27 of his last 35 situations where his opponant has 3 outs or less!! Honestly, maybe its fates way of telling me that Poker isnt my calling.  I just think of all the monies id have if they held up, if it was just this period of time id think it ubercold deck, but it has happened consistanly for a while....mayeb im just an UNLUCKY person.

I played a few $6 HU sngs on Stars again and won 4/6 so that was a lil better.....

Run Well my friends, Run Well

Monthly HU Graphs so far

The PCUK graph is this month - see the great start and then the demise over the last 75 games.  I have ran pretty poo, but in all honesty pretty sure this will come back up



Also posted is the Stars graph, which is from last few months, think ill prob move back down to the $6 games as thats where the peak is and the steep decline is when i moved to teh $11 games.  Do i think the standard is harder........no, but something there i need to adjust and until i figure out what ill move back down and build again.

How to run like GOD............................not

What a horrible session ive had this evening.

Played the HU mtt on stars and after besting to ballas in Rounds 1 and 2 (Annodv and The_Gamester) i get it in vs a Degen with Top Top and im Flipping and he gets there straight away.

I then play 5e HU turbos on PCUK, 32 in all and am - 6 buyins, ill post some HH to show the kinda shit im dealing with, lots of 3 outers when aipf, a few coolers and a few tilting moments, when your 60/40 makes it to the river for them to hit it just as your counting the monies!!!

My last 2 sessions on PCUK has seen me in the - which is tough but ill survive.

Update on Sundays Poker Action

Been grinding the Turbo HU sngs (5e) on PCUK today.
Played 33 today and won 25. OMG they are so so so so much softer than the $6.25 ones on Stars!
Last month i played 200ish on Stars and had an roi of 20% and was chuffed, have an roi of 37% on PCUK over 54 games!! (yes i know its f all amount of games) but pretty chuffed to have made 100e whilst watching TomF on Nutz tv and watching the football!

Got pool tonight, so wont be online, however may try and skip pool to play the £30 comp at Broadway with Dr Shmeiglini!

Also chuffed i finally have some monies on PCUK now lol, only deposited 30e to play the forum game last tuesday, and its over 200e now

Made roughly 80e today which is fine by me, but on the downside i havent played a single HU sng on Stars since moving up to the $11 level after pwning the $6 ones last month!!!!

Peace out MOFOS!

Friday 11 June 2010

Mixed bag evening

Started my plight on PCUK HU sng turbos tonight and only managed 24 games as the World Cup kinda got in the way, which also meant i didnt play a single $11 game on Stars!!!! d'oh

ive started with 100e on PUCK playing the 5.25e hu sngs and OH MY GOD they are soft!!!!

I played 24 games and made 24e (exactly 1e per game) and a 19% roi for the night which is ok, however it was as high as 37% roi until i only managed 2 wins in the last 6 with AT < A4 aipf (4 on river), 99 v 88 apif (8 on turn) and AK v QJ apif (J on river) meh meh meh.

Bit gutted at its ending, as coulda increased roll by 50% if i hold up, but as the forum guys would say, i got "s4ootered" lol :)

Basically as its well known i run like dogshite, if u get 3 outered on a river its called being s4ootered! Nice eh!

Anyway what can i say, im gutted that i didnt get anywhere near my volume but can see some major profits on Boss, as HU regs are awful!!

TTFN

Im really bad at blogging

I keep forgetting to update my blog as i am such a loser.
Basically i am going to be a lot more scheduled in my poker approach and hope i can start to keep myself playing the games i should, and the games i want.

Last month i had my biggest winning month (both live and online) but actually played the least which is odd, had a good evening @ Gala winning roughly £600 at PL Omaha and £200 at Holdem.

Just to update you guys i am currently grinding the Turbo HU sngs on Stars and have moved up from $6 to $11 after maintaining a 22% ROI

Today/Tonight i am gonna have a huge session trying to fit in 30x $11.25 HU sngs on Stars and 30x 5.25e HUsngs on Boss as well as a few mtts,

Will keep up on the reporting i promise.
