I havent posted in awhile, figured I should.
I started the month out super sick. I played for like 4 days all at 50NL and made about $550. For the little I played, that is good.
Then I had 2 weeks off work for spring break and I flew to Ireland with the fiancee to her home for a week. We sorted some wedding stuff out and whatnot, (menu, photographer, flowers etc etc). Then after a week, we flew to Tenerife with some friends from Glasgow and I had a great time. Very chill, watched some football, lazed in the sun, read some books (no poker ones) went to the pool a couple of times and also ate some really nice food. All in all a great trip.
That being said, I didnt play any poker for 2 weeks. Probably the longest stretch without poker in a long time. Not that I missed it, as I said I had a great time, but I thought it would be weird getting back into it, thankfully it wasnt at all. I played some Wednesday night and then again tonight. (I was super tired from the trip so I pretty much slept Monday and Tuesday after work). I started out 16 tabling then moved to 24. Nothing seemed strange or difficult which is cool as I expected to be slow and unaccustomed to the flow of the game. I really wanted to play a lot of tables though as I wanted to up my vpp total. I was at 3800 up to the trip, and now I am at 6155. I really want to hit 10K as I want platinum throughout May. (I have read the SuperNovaElite thread on 2+2 since it began and all signs point to a double vpp week in May.) Super sick obviously, but platinum would mean 5x fpp. Yes please. 10K vpp = $650 during a double promo!
Well anyways, tonight I went to see '21'. It was ok. I have read Bringing Down The House like 5 times so when they swayed from the book I got annoyed. All in all though it was ok. Afterwards me and the fiancee came home. She was tired so I hopped online to watch the Pittsburgh New York NHL playoff game. Really good game actually, Pitt was down 3-0 and came back to win 5-4. Anyways, I decided to play some so I 12 tabled 50NL. Here are the stats:
I decided against more than 12 as I wanted a session where I could also watch the game. No probs with only 12. Ran well and the donating donks helped. 50NL is fine, but I want to get to 100NL and then 200NL where some real money can be made. Using a 40 buyin rule, I think 100NL should happen this summer (I would be rolled for 200NL already but the wedding is killing my roll, not to mention the fpp cash bonuses never even staying in the account) Oh well, whatever, shes worth it so I obviously dont mind.
Anywho,
I am looking forward to Saturday and Sunday so much though. Man U v Chelsea tomorrow at 1pm. Then Montreal Philadelphia game 2 tomorrow at Midnight, then the Old Firm, Celtic v Rangers, at Parkhead Sunday at 12:30 (I think, maybe 1pm) Such a sick sports weekend.
Also May will be so good poker wise as the fiancee is flying home to Ireland not once, but twice for the weekend. And not only that, but both times, it is a long weekend from work. She flies home this coming Thursday night, returns Monday night and I have Monday off, then she flies home the 22nd and comes back the 26th and I have the 23rd and 26th off. I think I can hit 20K vpp this month. So much poker and so much money to be made. I am aiming for my best ever month in May. Cannot wait.
oh and sports predictions:
Man U Chelsea draw 1-1 Ronaldo and Drogba
Philadelphia win 3-2 to tie the series
Old Firm - Celtic win 1-0, McGeady scores early.
