More Positive Hits

Good day yesterday and went on a good mini heater near the end to win about £600.   Today was quite different in a mood all day with not much going right.   Fortunately it turned later on and after losing a few hundred pound i found myself up a couple of hundred instead.  Sitting nicely on +£1,963  and thats before any rakeback or bonuses which ive taken none of this month.  Bear in mind a couple of weeks ago i was £2,500 in the hole and it makes it feel even better.

Prob gonna rake $5,000+ next month on my primary site, (awaiting confirmation on Feb promo but could even be a $10,000 rake)  .  Also gotta do 5000 vpps on stars to get $100 bonus so will almost definitely do 7500 so im still on track for keeping Supernova status.  Got a $500 bonus on another site to clear by 10th March so have been trying to target that more for last few days of this month given those two above might occupy most of my Feb time.

Ive also been looking at a few live festivals, seems to be so many to choose from in UK and Ireland now.  Im all indecisive so may well not bother with any for the time being and with being busy online in Feb looking at above.   Did look at Manchester GUKPT this week but gonna pass on that.  Theres an omaha series in London end of Feb as is UKIPT Galway but again ill probably just be busy online.  Probably better off just trying to save for possible Vegas in June (Schedule should be out any day now based on last year) and barring that making sure i can afford to go to the Caribbean in Nov for the 8th year running.  Anyways happy fish hunting to all.  

PS: fav part of today had to be in limit hi lo when a guy capped pre and raised every street with 3333 in the hole, hope hes around again tommorrow :)

Sommat Drunk Happened

Dnt remember much of it except surprise at the end to have won a few hundred quid once i had started to sober up.   I remember briefly playing 3/6 pl hi lo but the rest is a complete blur and i dnt think that game lasted long b4 i broke.  Made another £100 just now in an hour or so session to take me to new peak for month of +£1,146

Volatile Good Hour

Nout to report earlier then out all evening.   Got in 12:30am and considered just hitting the sofa but figured im pretty busy rest of weekend so i should squeeze some poker in first.   Played about an hour losing £500 within the first 5 minutes on 5/10 pl hi lo before escaping level then hitting 10/20 for a nice quick profit  (wish i was rolled for this properly there's been some juicy games lately :(   ).   Did well on other lower stakes and made about £600 in the end.   +£757 for January :)

Back In The Game

Finally got back into profit yesterday making a few hundred £.  Taken some software fees off that and now sit on +£165 for January.   I was contemplating doing a 70hrs+ rake race nxt week but ive gone full circle and think im probably better targetting a Feb promotion instead for extra 10-20% rakeback.  I already have a secondary promotion/bonus alongside to finish by end Feb which gives about the same so i would be overlapping on promotions which is always handy along with the 30% normal.  Probably do me good to get back into a routine and more plo as the boredom this week is probably down to not varying my games enough.

Anyways gonna wind down for the month playing the same sort of stuff along with some plo on my 4th site as i have a $500 bonus to clear there by middle March.    Still not sure what im doing with stars this year.  I think it makes sense to do supernova but im not convinced 100%.   Im exactly 2/3 of the way to cashing in 250k fpps for $4,000 and im supernova from last year so it appears keeping that 3.5xvpps rate to earn fpps is prbably worth it until i reach that.  Happy hours this month have kept me on track but will just have to see in future months.  $100 bonus nxt month to clear 5000vpps in their blast off promotion should be enough incentive to keep that going.

Getting Out of The Hole

The climb out of the 2012 hole continues.  Made bit on small sessions at weekend.  Monday i didnt play higher than 1/2 but i managed to go £500 up before losing a $1250 and a $500 pot in space of a few mionutes and breaking even on the day eventually.   Started yesterday at -£1,000 for the month and it was very volatile.  There were a few good 2/4 games going throughout and i pretty much went +£500 in the afternoon before going -£100 A tilty interesting pot on .5/1 hi lo when i saw a flop of Qd6d5x with Ax742ddd  Enough money goes in on flop to commit us both and it runs out Ax7x and i lose to rainbow 8,2,3,4 !!!  Checked odds calc and its 1.7% for me to lose to a scoop !   Returned late in evening and ran much better, notable cooler pot 8,8,3,4 on a 8,7,5,5,A board vs A536 on 2/4 hi lo for $1,200 pot.  For some reason though i was really bored playing so stopped a bit early to prevent doing anything silly.   Still im sitting on a -£227 for January so hoping i can get back in the profits very soon.
