Waste of a week

Well not a waste sort of, £842 up in the last week +£124 rakeback a lot of people would be happy with this for a weeks wage but I cant help but feel pissed off over that tilt session.

Amazingly even after that tilt session I still managed to end up with a shark icon over the 216 games I played in the week. Takes my profit for the month to $3370 so far + $600 iron man so really $4k up for this month excluding gambling.

Ill be happy to double that with the remainder of the month as long as I don't tilt :)

Tilt over

Just before I started again Animal had come onto my msn and was saying how he dropped down in stakes as he had a little losing streak and it had seemed to work. Never really took this into account but I decided to close off the $220 games and add the $33 games so I was playing $33-$110 sngs. It seemed to work! From $2200 starting balance that day I ended up on $250 then changed my lobby hoping that I wouldn't need to deposit for the first time in 4 months. I am now up to $1850 and cleared my $600 end of year Iron Man bonus in the process and also withdrew my rakeback that went in on Friday. So although this weekend was about getting my account back up to $2k I still managed to withdraw a fair amount.

This months stats are going to be pretty poor to be honest compared to most others. I know its down to a few reasons such as me losing patience and tilting a bit but I think the main reason was because I was going in between 2 different sites, playing 2 different structures and it was effecting my game, too tight in some and too rash in others.

January has always been disappointing, people think oh its a new year, fresh start I will make these targets etc etc then in the first few weeks they realise their targets wont get met and they give up, its pretty demoralising. I however still feel that I will reach my $100k+ target for the year especially now that the Iron man bonuses will come faster and faster. This time next year I hope to be getting an iron man $600 bonus every 2 months which will be a nice $3600 a year bonus for nothing! Add to this rakeback and next year my bonuses and rakeback should actually be a basic wage in itself let alone winning money.

I almost booked Egypt yesterday to fly out today until I found out my friend has probation on Tuesday :( so that's gone out the window. It's good really as I really do need to save money but I am struggling.

I have managed to nearly pay off a credit card thats been sat there taking the minimum payment off it for about 4/5 years now once that is out the way then the true savings start. However I am tempted to dabble in the stock market as I have had a tip for something that I may put 4/5k into and hope it triples my money in a short space of time.

Anyway time to hit the tables GL

Tilty Tilty Tilty

Ok thats twice in a week now I have dropped over $1k in a session and it's down to a few factors.

1. Not having the patience and playing the wrong players who I dont have a huge edge over.

2. Running quite badly, losing KK, QQ, AK, AQ to ace rags and everyone hitting their draws.

3. Playing quite bad, got into the mind state "surely there is no way he has hit his flush draw again" and calling off my chips.

Back to the grind tonight $1600 down today £400 up on betting at the moment which I have just stuck on Udinese so hopefully I will build that up into a nice chunk.

Will be happy to end the day $600 down and buy a percentage in one of the best heads up players on line for the $5k event in Oz.

On a total non gambling related note, a week Tuesday I have blood tests for diabetes, liver function and cholesterol as well as getting my asthma checked up on and also going to see about my nose as I can't breathe through it again. I had it straightened the other year to help me breathe but its still always blocked.

So in a few weeks it could be a very worrying time being told I can't drink no more and will have to go on a healthy food diet to cut down my cholesterol :(

Can't be arsed with stars

The software is tilting me to fuck, I just feel on tilt playing a game and that it's taking forever to finish. On fulltilt when I have a monster I always feel I will get paid with it because the pots are always big, on stars I feel I will get fuck all.

Had loads of outdraws etc but still didnt lose anything on the site. May give multi tabling 20 tables at a time a go later on in the year with a new 30" monitor with better res but for now the heads up is over for me on there.

Fulltilts software is light years ahead of anyone else since they brought out the new lobby.

Onwards and upwards anyway, nearly on my way to cash in my $600 iron man bonus and another one on the way next month. I will miss out on my $150 reload bonus if I dont play on stars any more but fuck it $150 is nothing anyway.

Little update

Whilst being house bound because of the snow for most of this week I started giving stars more of a go when I had reached daily targets on fulltilt. I am still getting used to the blind structures but I am slightly in profit on there now after around 50 games.

The fulltilt software is a million times better for what I do. Some of the stuff stars doesn't have yet is criminal considering they are the biggest site on-line and should be leading the way.

Anyway I have suffered some pretty horrendous badbeats on there over them 50 games but managed to come out with a small profit. My plan is to build up the rest of my money in there to about $2k then have both fulltilt and stars open at the same time and just play both sites and try and maximise my profit for the time I play.

I will definitely get more games on stars than fulltilt but the standard on fulltilt seems to be a lot worse and the games seem a lot quicker too.

Anyway here is a photo of the car, the snow doesnt do it justice really waiting for it to clear up before I take another one.
