Fiancee left this morning. Started grinding shortly after.
I have played a little over 6600 hands of 50NL today. I am up $412. Really good start to the weekend.
I am gonna go make some food, (chicken stir fry with egg noodles and prawn crackers obv) and then hit the tables again tonight.
PS We have Virgin Media cable in the flat and they have hundreds of shows with entire seasons accessible for free. I am watching The Wire Season 1 right now. Show is sick. Apparently Baltimore is rough. Who knew? I just thought Baltimore was all sunny with Orioles flying around. Apparently not.

Unlimited Hold Thems
I am off work this Friday and Monday. No idea why, some weird UK holiday thing. No complaints here.
The fiancee is off to Ireland early Friday morning for her hen party (thats what they call bachelorette parties over here)
She leaves at 8:00am. The weekend of Knightsridge starts at 8:01am.
A few things.
I am currently sitting on a $3200 or so roll. I am about to buy a $630 fpp bonus as well.
Now, I have taken out about 3K in the last 2-3 months for the wedding and its tough to move up and back down depending on my roll. Therefore, I have created a new goal for myself.
The 10 grand challenge.
I am going to play nothing but 50NL on Stars until I hit $10,000. This obviously includes bonuses. I am hoping when this weekend is said and done, I will have made about $2K and my roll is a little over $5K. I have changed my game up a bit and I am playing more hands and using position much better. I think solidifying my game before I jump up again is important. This challenge is also being done so I can prove to myself that I have the discipline needed in the game. I hope to go pro in 2-3 years and if I can stick to this and achieve it, I would be quite pleased.
Heres to hoping.

May Has Begun Well
Wednesday night I played a bunch of tables at 50NL to keep platinum status. Cool. I think I made $175 that night.
Thursday night I didnt play for two reasons. I played a lot on Tuesday and Wednesday so I wanted a break but more importantly, Rangers were playing their second leg in Italy of the Uefa Cup semis. Crazy game as well, but they took it down in penalties. Fantastic result. Gives the SPL more respect in the rest of Europe and also its good for the city. Well half of it anyways lol. For anyone reading this with a big knife, I like Celtic too, but my full support is behind the team I have followed since I was a child, Albion Rovers. (I never heard of them till I met my friend Patch, he plays for them so thats good enough for me)
anyways,
Friday night I went back to the 50NL tables, and I was up for awhile but after a few tough hands I was stuck $150 and playing foolishly. I closed all tables and ordered a pizza from Dominos. Always a +ev decision. I watched some tv and then thought about playing again. I was at about $3300 and I wanted to wait till $4000 to move up to 100NL, but I told myself I would play for 1/2 to see how the game flows. Well, I made $300 in 20 minutes. Sick. I closed soon after as I knew it wouldnt last. All in all, I made another $175 Friday night.
Saturday morning, I just grinded like crazy all day. I played 16K hands at 100NL. Yes I know, sick amount of hands. I finished up $400. The game is more aggressive than 50NL but still donks willing to donate.
Today I played 100NL again and made another $320.
I am also a few vpps away from keeping platinum. lol. I had to grind like crazy the last 2 days of April to make platinum and after playing 100NL the last 2 days, I will hit it soon. sick. I am aiming for this month, when all is said and done, to be up 3K including rakeback (fpp bonus). I am now at about $900 so hopefully this continues. And with the fiancee going away a long weekend at the end of May, I think I can get it done.
Heres to hoping.

Best Ever Cash Day
Sick night. Played well, had good cards, ran well. (ran very very very well)
I hit a one outer twice, both 44 hitting quads on the river. Yay for running well. $500 is cool. I am now on $3250. As soon as I hit $4000 I am moving to 100NL. Hopefully the trend continues.
9K vpps for April. Need 1K more for platinum. I will finish tomorrow.

blah blah
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.

March Thus Far
March has been pretty crazy for me poker-wise. I have made more money on the tables and lost more money on the tables than any month before.
I have played 3 levels this month 25NL, 50Nl, and 100Nl.
25NL I have made about $850 (+34 buyins)
50NL I have made about $600 (+12 buyins) (but this sucks as I was up $1600)
100NL I have lost about $800 (-8 buyins)
Now obviously, I have a slight problem playing at the 100NL level. That being said, I was cold decked quite a few times playing there thus the sample is only 2500 hands. And considering a 2 buyin pot which I got my money in ahead atleast twice, would take this -$800 loss and make it a -$200 loss. So that is something to take a bit of solace in.
Anyways, in April I am taking a week long holiday in Tenerife with some friends and the fiancee. I am looking forward to it and I think a week in the sun will be great. So because of that week off, I am considering April already begun with the last week of March making up for that lost week. I have thought about it and I have come up with a type of system I am going to try this weekend.
I am going to play 25NL until I have made $750. If I run cold, then 25NL will be the only level I play. If I can make $750, I will then jump to 50NL. If I run cold at 50NL, ie lose more than $400, I drop back down and recover. If I am able to make $750 at 50NL, I take a shot at 100NL. If I lose more than $400 at 100NL, I drop down and so on.
This may sound too concrete, but to be honest that is what I want. I dont want to play higher to chase losses or because I think I can play well. I want my results to dictate where I play. So 25NL is up first, I hope to hit $750 in about 15 days. I started last night and played for an hour. I was up to $70 but then had KK into AA and QQ into KK. So I only ended up $16. Nothing obviously, but better than losing. Tonight is another night.
Heres to hoping.

Poker, booooooooooooooooo
I made a bunch of money in the last month.
I cashed out $1K, left $1.5K in the account. Got it up to $2.8K doing well, crushing 50NL for like 4ptbb over 40K hands. Doing super well. Then the last 2 sessions have been cruel. Really cruel. Like 'wow, what the hell is going on, how did you stay in the hand with that and hit what you needed and yet improve my hand but but not enough to win', yes, that kind of bad.
This graph is an Ev graph. The red line represents where I should be in terms of making good decisions and getting my money in ahead. As you can see that is $-30 or so. Obviously not good, but ok, $30 I can eat. The blue line represents all-in winnings, but the green line represents what has actually happened, yes, $-650. So I should be, according to math and what not, be down $30, but instead I am down $650. Yes, this has been a fun ride of variance.
I am going back down to 25NL until I get back to $2800. That is a promise.

Sick Weekend!
The fiancee went away for the weekend.
I 24 tabled Stars 25NL tables.
I played over 29 thousand hands.
I made $685
Just for clarification, I was playing 50NL Friday night and was getting nowhere. I actually lost $30, so I switched to 25NL. The 50NL is the downward trend at the beginning. Everything after that is 25NL.

Sexy
Poker players understand other poker players. But talk poker to a non-poker player and they give you a funny look.
So, as one poker player to another (I assume you are a poker player otherwise you wouldnt be reading this) is there anything sexier at the poker table when you raise preflop with aces and get re-raised?

Saturday Night
Played some last night and continued to play well. I ran very well, over 7ptbb/100, so obviously not sustainable, but quite a nice bit of variance. Overall, 4K hands played and almost $300 profit. Awesome.
That gave me 850 fpp's. So for platinum, I would need about 47K hands. That is a lot, but I will keep chugging away. As long as I make money platinum is a nice goal. But I will not play just for the sake of points and lose money.
Some nice hands, what some people do amazes me.
Highlights.

S'up All?
Last weekend sucked.
I lost some money Saturday, regained some on Sunday, used 13.5K fpps and played the Sunday Warm Up losing out on a bluff (which I still debate was the right play), and went deep in the Sunday hundred grand but messed up.
That is last weekend in a nutshell.
This past week, I played two 5400 fpp satellites for the Sunday Million. I won one of them (well came in top four as top four win seats) and got myself $215. I unregistered and took the cash.
Yesterday I also started attacking February trying to make platinum star. Platinum Star gets you fpp's at a 150% rate while my current gold star only gets me 100%. More fpp's means more cash and the higher up you are in status the less hands you have to play to get that cash. 50K fpp's is worth $650. Not as much value as some other stuff in the fpp store but still, cash is cash. So for February, Platinum Star is what I am shooting for. But it will definitely be tough as it is a short month and platinum requires a lot of hands, but I have a 4 day long weekend coming up as well as the fiancee going home to Ireland for a weekend. That means a lot of poker will be played. I am confident platinum is within reach
I must say though, I have started out well. This is yesterday and today.
Going to play some tourneys today as well. I know that hurts my platinum star chase, but it is rare I get to play a deepstack tourney so I am going to enjoy it.

Best Cash Day Ever
Yesterday I played quite a bit and I made the most buyins I have ever made in one day.
25NL is not exactly the nosebleed section of the online poker world, but $250 is a welcome addition to my roll.

Been Awhile...
Hey all, not dead. Alive and well.
6 max was killing me. Swings were not cool, and swongs (a long swing) were worse.
Anywho I like poker and ummm, I'm gonna keep playing.
I watched a Cardrunners video by Daut the other day and he was 20 tabling. I can do that says I. Soooooooo, I did. I am. I is. I are. Yes, I am.
I started multitabling full ring 25NL last weekend and all of a sudden poker is fun again. So anyways, I am gonna keep plugging away. I love playing a ton of tables and I think I am gonna stick with 18. Its a good number. It is amazingly easy to do on my laptop by cascading the tables. Stars software just brings the table needing attention to the front and as soon as the fold, bet, check, call etc is done, the next table is ready. I likes.
So here is my last week playing the unlimited holdem pokers game. Not too bad imo (in my opinion)

...
30th of 605 in a $10 Stars tourney.
I pushed QT from the button SB called w AT. Flop comes A, good night me.
I want to final one already.
I pushed QT from the button SB called w AT. Flop comes A, good night me.
I want to final one already.
It Continues
Just came 7th in a $12 180 man turbo sng.
Lost A5 v 22 then pushed T7 called by 55 no help.
I was chip leader going into final table but the blinds were massive so swings were gonna be there big time.
What sucked though is just before I was elminated in 7th, I was also playing a tourney on Full Tilt and with 80 people left I lost a pot for the chip lead with AA v KK all in preflop. K on turn. As soon as that happened I went from optimistic and hopeful to feeling negative to out the door in 7th place. I get $60 instead of the $600 for first.
God damnit.
