October ended on an up note. I managed to drive the total for the month up over $850. Not as high as I would have liked, but not horrible as it was a steady increase over the last couple weeks. my worst days over that time were -$20 or so but they were few. There were a few $100 days too with multiple cashes.
The Multiple cashes is the goal. stabilize that and the roll will grow. Spew chips and everything becomes more difficult.
I plan to start November with a bang by playing the first event of the Bodog Poker Open today. It is a $109 buyin with $15,000 added. Yes, i won my ticket into it, but soon I may be looking at those buyins as routine. here is hoping for that day and success this day as well. Have fun out there
A couple of small negatives followed by a couple of small positives. Up a tad, but its not a living. not even close. I wouldn’t mind making a grand for the month, but will fall +200 short of that if I just seesaw the last two days.
A couple of Halloween special tournaments going on the 31st, so maybe I can get near the mark. Also have to think about a mass withdrawal in case the UIGEA implementation actually slows down withdrawals
Saturday and Sunday were profitable in poker and wagering. I went 6-1 on football, but the sweet part is Fonzi only followed one of my plays…the losing one. So I got a nice LOL out of that.
Winning is great, but winning and tilting someone else at the same time is even better. Following up on my Fonzi tilt, I managed to win a private tournament with $150 added at Bodog Poker. So I got to sneak into another forum’s game and take their money.
For bonus points, I also got all in heads up with 44 only to find my opponent had KK. The biggest tilt/win of all weekend was the 4 on the river to cripple him! Good times, good times. +260 for the weekend, cya.
Well i managed to pocket a bit more yesterday. I got 7th in the $3,000 guarnteed bounty on Players Only Poker. It was nice to final table an open event. Sort of a little confidence builder heading into all the weekend activity. I have yet to play anything today.
Had to go have my eyes checked out. it seems I am becoming nearsighted. I figured as much since things far away were blurry and hard to make out. No worries, I am not so vain as to object to wearing glasses. If you could see me, you would know that vanity would be misplaced on me anyway.
I have kind of left off taking shots at big money and have focused on grinding out some private money added tourneys and some low buyin open games. It has been a ho-hum existence. I win a little under $20 a couple days, I lose under $20 a couple more days.
The bottom line is October has been better than losing, but just that. At the moment I am +$400 or so. My game is pretty poor and needs some work. I am dissatisfied with my play right now
A friend in Great Britain asked me what online casinos were the best to play on. I was stumped since I do not play casino games. I am just a poker player. But being a good friend I decided to search around and try to provide and answer.
I tried to web search for casinos and that only confused me. so many claims by so many sites. How could I tell him anything with any degree of accuracy? Finally I stumbled upon a site that only listed and reviewed certified online casinos. Don’t go all visiting it at once and crashing it, but the site is onlinecasinosuite.com.
This site had everything my friend needed, including a special UK Online Casino page especially for players from his country. I got to look like a hero and he got a fair and balanced review of casinos tailored to his location.
The last few days I haven’t been doing much at all. The weekend was a disappointment but after that I have been posting daily profits. The bad part is these profits for each day are under $20. So a lot of play for not much pay. I am not sure what I will play today. I may just wait for the Reefer Poker Stoners vs Staff game later today. As well as a few private games. I don’t really feel “into it” this early for some reason. Probably the low returns the past few days are influencing this feeling.
Yeah I have been a lazy ass blowing off the updates here. No excuse, plenty of time just a poor effort on my part.
Sunday was a bit of a disappointment. I played the Bodog $100K Guaranteed again but this time came away with nothing for my efforts. I did manage to barely cash in the Full Tilt $200k guaranteed “Double Deuce”. Overall I would have broken even because the Bodog $100k ticket was free, but I blew $30 in a ring game. So I wound up -$31 for the day.
October is still positive but not as high as I would like it to be. +$350 but Saturday and Sunday I ran through $116 of a much higher positive balance. Oh well, its a new week. Focus and Calm. The roll needs a shot in the arm
Thanks to Bodog Poker for having their daily twitter trivia contest. If you are the first person to direct tweet them the answer, you win T$162 to play in the Sunday $100K. I just won another entry to the $100k. Last time I won this I manged to get ninth. Hoping to at least duplicate this feat.
The upside to that final table appearance is that it gave me points for the Cardplayer Online Player of the Year rankings. Thats right! I am big time. Well at 14374th, maybe not exactly big time, but its nice to be up even that high.
Poker has been bad, blew half my cash that I was up for the month.
Sorry i haven’t posted for a couple days. October is starting out pretty well. Sunday i lost like $4 but the rest of the month were positive days. Not great days, but at least I am not digging myself a hole like September.
I have been putting some time into double stack tournaments on PokerStars. I feel this stack and blind size is complimentary to my game. The payout structures could be better in these, but you have to take the sweet with the sour when ordering takeout.
