holy cooler!

Just stopped in the middle of session cos was on fbt (full blown tilt). Dropped like 5 buyins at $50nl on party, so tilted by playing $100NL out of my roll. Hit two coolers including this sweet one: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1845171

Total downswing has now reached roughly $500, almost entirely on party, so my roll there needs some tlc.

Sigh.

Holy upswing batman!

Still playing good and running good, and now have >$1k on my three online sites :).

Bankroll:

FTP: $1130.45

Party: $1023.39

Stars: $1057.65

Total: $3211.49


Graph with asymptote: :):):)
Clearly running quite well at the end there! It includes this hand:

Good turn card for me :)

Back in southampton now, finished the Omaha hi/lo part of Ray Zee's book on the train, so i'm now expert, lol. I'm knackered so i will to bed.

Good luck to Ryan Daut in the $15k main event at the 5 diamond. 2nd in chips with 10 left last i checked. He won the PCA in january when i played, and is possibly the best blogger in history.

Nearly

Soooooooo close to $3k now. Observe:

Stars: $1005.15
FTP: $932.30
Party: $1023.39
Total: $2960.84

Here's the graph of all my Hold 'em hands over these 3 sites on my current database:


You'll notice this is only 9k hands. Which means i should play a LOT more. Playing full time i could get through 20k hands in a week.

Sadly i can't figure out how to use pokergrapher to graph my omaha database. Will look into it.

Going home to Southampton land tomorrow. Ideally before going back to uni, i'll get that $3k up to $7k, and withdraw $1k for living expenses/random spending etc. This is unlikely to happen, but it'd be nice :)

Deadlines etc

This week instead of going home like most, i have stayed at uni, due to one last deadline. Being a chronic procrastinator, this has led to one thing: procrastination. And for me, procrastination largely means playing poker. Although i have kept it to short sessions ("I won't play for long, I've got work to do"). Still, it's been going well, and i reckon when i get home i'll take some shots at $100NL. Although I may decide to bosh out 25k hands at $50 instead. We'll see. It'd be good to be back at $100NL though, cos $50NL is rigged ldo.

Bonus FTP graph this month (contains rungoot and lol-samplesizeaments):
Bankroll:
Stars: $1005.15
FTP: $890.00
Party: $855.52
Total: $2750.67

Also, been playing some min-bet Omaha hi/lo (lol poo-flinging?). Nice to have some variation from Hold 'em. Been reading Ray Zee's book on hi-lo split poker, and so far it seems excellent. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn/get better at Omaha hi/lo or Stud hi/lo.

Weeeeeeee

Woke up this morning and decided on a whim to play one of the $12/180 person turbo SnGs on stars. I took it down obv. Ship the $594! Screenshot:This was an important win for me, as i hardly play MTTs anymore, so was reaffirming to know I still have a clue what i'm doing :)

I withdrew $300 from this win, but my bankroll is still looking quite healthy.

The last few days i've played 1k hands of omaha along with usual NLHE and made $200. I reckon my winrate at $50PLO long term is greater than $50NLHE, just cos they really don't know how to play, whereas even the worst NL players know what constitutes a decent starting hand.

Anyway, with that win and cash games recently (been breaking even at NLHE last couple k hands) my bankroll is looking pretty good.

Stars: $1029.00
FTP: $747.15
Party: $808.40
Total: $2584.55

Will be looking to have >1k in each account by the new year, ready to take shots at 100NL. :) Hopefully be able to withdraw some too, to help with living expenses etc next term at uni!

lol-unexpected-blogaments

So much for my new found focus. Sigh. Haven't been playing much so haven't had anything to blog about. I imagine i'll post a lot more now it's xmas hols, and i'll actually be playing and have something to blog about. In the mean time, here's my last 2k hands in graph form just to placate some of you:
