The last 3 days were pretty steady, i was running good and never looked like having a losing day. Made £1,000 , £7,300 & £8,550 respectively pretty much concentrating on 10/20$. Today however was a completely different story but i guess its what makes poker so interesting.
My first session for 1-2hrs left me in a hole at £5,000 down. Was on the worst side of variance and at one point i lost 3 stacks to the same guy within 5 minutes six handed. These included set over set which i could have got away from if truly on top of my game. Then i get top set vs 2nd set and he hits quads on the turn !
My 2nd session didnt fair much better dropping another £4,000 at worst point before getting back to level then losing another £2,000.
So at £7k down for the day i hit a third session (not tilted i might add) but this time i was golden. At one point i couldnt miss a thing. The nice table was ending up with $20,000 on a $2,000 buyin which i certainly havent done before. Anyway a few hours later and that £7k loss had turned into a £4,800 profit on the day !

Final Thailand Blog
Sitting in an airport lounge currently. Was a good trip to relax on , shame bout the 2-3days illness but took it in my stride. Connection which i knew would be dodgy could have been better but then i expected that so not a major issue in the end. Last 5 sessions ive had as follows on 2/4 - 25/50 but mainly 5/10 and 10/20:
+ £1,000
- £9,000
+ £12,000
- £4,500
+ £4,500 (in airport lounge although still maybe time for bit more yet ;) )
Apparantly Melbourne had record temp of 46 degrees today , thk god i left there lol.
Anyway its back to the cold and dark England, just hope i dont have any travel hassle from Heathrow to home.

Restart Feb
Despite the stomach bug i managed to build up an £11k profit in the first 4 days. Then today it all went tits up after peaking at £13k for the month up i missed everything and ran awful in a 2 hour session tonight. Lost 3 $10k pots on 25/50 and a $9k on 10/20 = bye bye to this months profit.
May play some more before i leave Saturday but if not i'll start again when i get back home. :(

Sick Day
In more ways than one yesterday indeed was a sick day.
Lets start off with my health, soup was on the menu but the attempt at a tuna baguette failed when i was left feeling sick again for a few hours after.
Next the length of time spent playing online yesterday. Obviously i cannot accurately determine this with breaks and all but i know it was in the region of 16 hours. Cable tv is down here and theres only so many dvds i can watch. Thankfully i luv omaha at the moment so it was a constructive and enjoyable way to pass the day.
Sunday i had dropped £1100 for a poor start to the month playing ok but running awful. That all changed on my first session of the day yesterday. Basically ran as almost as good as i could for a few hours on 5/10 and 10/20 and ended up £10,000 up on the session. When i returned after a mid afternoon nap i quickly dropped £2,500 and was pretty much stuck around that mark for the rest of the night. However just before the tables broke at 6am local time i got some back and finished £8,500 up on the day. My best day this year, my longest time of online poker ever in a day.
Unsurprisingly bit tired this morning but im sure ill sleep this afternoon again. Cant do swim, gym or even walk on beach so it dont really matter what happens to my sleeping pattern until i leave Saturday. Laters fellow addicts....

Jan Review - What A Difference A Day Makes !
Not to poker fortunately but to my state of mind. 24 hours ago i was the most relaxed ive been for months if not years and it wasnt just because i was having a good poker month. Im sitting here now with full blown (without going into detail) symptoms of a bug or much more likely food poisoning. Also before this came on last night the internet went down for like 18 hours (longest yet by a mile) and prevented any chance of my evening session i was looking forward to. Just hope this bug dont last more than 24 hours thats all i ask for.
Onto January (sad im writing this in such a negative mood really) which pokerwise couldnt have been much better short of a huge cash in an Aussie Millions event. Omaha has gone from strength to strength as has my attitude and enjoyment of the came. Now the WSOP schedule is out im really looking forward to playing a lot of omaha and hi lo events this year on the back of Australias trip.
Previous best month ever was October 2005 at £31,000 + a $10,000 cpc package. Until last month i hadnt come close to beating that since (peaked at £28,000 b4 losing £20k in one day in Dec).
Well thats all history now as i can report a record final profit of £40,063 for January which actually would be higher if i lowered my $ exchange rate on my spreadsheet which is still sat at 1.5. The best bit is i havent played that much omaha at 10/20 or 25/50 this month which defintely bodes well for future months. Be interesting to see what happens in Feb and March following on from this but watch this space to find out !
Right time for plenty of fluids :(
