Graph-y-poos

Also released $40 of the $100 bonus and have some cool rakeback to get back next week.

Been 8 tabling, to try and increase teh FTPoints earnt, to help release bonus, and reckon i could have it done by end of next week easy.

7k hands earnt the 1st $40, so another 10-11k should unlock it all, dedication is now the key.

Also must stop playing sngs, and sats as that dips into bankroll!!!

Off to sleep now, work tomorrow, however a good session tomoz night + sunday daytime, hope to get in 3-4k hands done in that time, GRIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good night all, make sure you bookmark my blog and tell all your friends!

Ta Ta

Blogs are a serious grind

The weekly vblog will be up tonight!!!
I've taken to updating the blog after every session, the day after-allowing for a wee bit of musing over the prior night.

Volume wise it was a poor session only hitting 800 hands, although was playin 4x Rush and 3x standard tables as missus was Ill and although she encouraged me to play (she likes the idea of free money!) I was more interested in playing doctor.

In the 800 hands, however, I made 2 buyins and earnt another $5 of the bonus. Lost a buyin on last hand of the session with AA v TT, flop came T98 and I check shoved into TT, hate the way I played the hand but the guy was pretty poor and figured he'd stack off with a lot of hands there.

Also found myself Layin down JJ post flop on a 3 under board. Tough to do but so often right it's untrue.

Didn't play the PPP mixed game last night which has prop screwed me in the POTM, must be a fair way behind now. Will play the game tonight tho, I won it last week and with $65+ up top it's worth playing IMO.

Won't be a huge session tonight, but depending on how the session starts you'll prob find me hammering the volume throughout the night and especially during happy hour.

Hope this grind proves succesful as really need a new moniter and pc!!!! Like NOW!!!

Haven't really touched stars for a while, kinda wanna clear tthis bonus before ploughing hours into HUsngs. Although the hourly win rate is gonna be slow it'll be fun.

As for the $22 hu mtt I'm still not rolled for it but will try and play it once a week and sell %% obv!! ;)

earnt $7.50 rake in 3days, and have a few big sessions aheaso $20 is acheiveable, he says ;)

added one other goal for Xmas, and that's to play a Sunday Major be it the Stars Sunday Million, or the Full Tilt Mulligan. Any high rollers wantin to invest let me know!! ;)

if my sng strat was any good I'd prob look to invest in some steps/sats for them. Have to look into it.
I think the correct course of action is to try for 2x seats so i have the safety net of $215 td.

Anyway enough rambling from me, gonna hit up the tables tonight. Should be fun!!!

How to get hammered by varience

Terrible session tonight, 2k hands and released another $10 bonus but dropped 3x buyins overall

started terribly with TT v 66 on 6TAK board when he rivers the case 6, and goes down hill from there. Top 2 v bottom set. KK into AA and KK losing to AK all for buyins means after 4k hands I'm only 12$ up but playing well.

Releasing the $100 is angrind but achievable

Lets just pray I'm not coolered and sucked out on like tonight for a while.

Try for another 2k hands and $10 release tomorrow and sure that bonus + rake will mean an ol' end for the month.

Starting roll was only $65 and stillin aiming for $250 by 29th of sept

grind on

The best start I could ask for........and a cheeky bonus

Found I had a hidden $100 bonus on FTP tat gets released in $10 increments from earning FTP Points, and ends on 29th September. Focus is to empty this, it will be a grind but doable at rush NL10, just need some serious sessions. 2k hands releases $10 roughly so, aiming for 20k in hands by above date. Crazy!!!
Played 2k hands yest and released the first $10 as well as winning 4.5 buyins, of only I could run like that every day!!

Only managed 1x HU sng which I shipped in 1 hand. Had TT and guy 3 bet shoved, I snap he shows 44......sadly no rematch, woulda played him allday!!!

Finally played the PPP varition night game, which was Razz. I love these variation night games PPP put on, on a Tuesday as it's a cheap way to learn new poker formats. Finished 3/19 for $11 and change. Which for a $3 buyin is ok.

They did hold a hu tourny on Monday which I missed, how gutted am I!!

Anyway a positive start, hopefully miracles happen and I can win 4.5x buyins every 2k hands at Rush!!! Like that's gonna happen!!! Would actually be.....$450 profit + $100 bonus + rakeback = sicklife!!!

Hopefully rakeback will be uber sick this month ;)

have fun

Its been a while

Well after the incident with the car ive not really been playing much, due to limited finances, however have been eager to get back on the virtual felt and ship some chips.

Have been doing a few radio spots on PPP Radio, http://www.pokerplayersplace.com, which has been great and am currently in discussion of getting something fixed with them, which would be cool.

Also had Fezio offer to buy some of me in the $22 Turbo HU mtt on Stars to help due to my situation, and after selling 50% to him, and 25% to Tom Feilding i decided to play.........finishing 3rd for $400 which was nice.  Also managed to win a PPP Private game too, to help me have a mini roll to start with again.

Other than that not a great deal has happened.......which is no suprise!

I know i am one for setting goals etc and i rarely keep to them as i am a glutton for the monies but i have realised a few things since the mini break.

1) I actually have perfromed strongly when backed by GNF's online.  Did i quick count up and my backers in my BAPS etc online, through GNF, have an roi of 140+% from me, which i am really chuffed about.  Hopefully this will mean things will continue with them if needed.

2) I need more structure in my online play.  I know what my strengths are, and i find that i cant keep to them, which is now stopped.  As for goal setting, im only setting 2x indivdual goals to achieve by xmas and they are not profit driven, but more volume driven......hopefully this will help me focus.

Goals for xmas are to:

1 - achieve $15 a week rakeback on FullTilt, as i am playing NL10 this could be tough but achieveable if approached correctly.

2 - Earn enough FTPs to treat myself to something i wanna buy, whatever it is.

3 - On Stars play at least 30 $6.25 HU sngs a week, these are what i crush, and although i earn $1, looking for the big win was always my problem, I honestly know i can beat these prob up to $55 level, just need to be patient to get there, it will come.

I also want to be more consistant in my Blog updating, my radio presenting on PPP and am gonna look into the new year, for some coaching in a new aspect of Poker, not a variation but probably multitable sngs, as i feel they are prob my weakest type of game atm.

Hope you are all well, and i will try and find time to get a Vblog on atleast once a week

Thank You Car!

Well the dream is on hold now for a while, as had to withdraw all available poker monies to fix my mutha fucking heap of junk car!!!

So u may not see me on the poker scene for a while, may hammer some freerolls and am gonna us http://forum.parttimepoker.com/staking-headquarters/ to see if i can keep in the action, but obv not hold out any hope.

This is prety sucky as the NL10 Rush grind was going really well, and was nearing the dizzy heights of $200 from the $50 start

Anyways such is life, GL to all those playing, whatever it may be.

See you all soon
