March Round-up

March started out really horribly and only really picked up towards the end. So many times I fely like quitting, but i gritted my teeth, moaned like a bitch and got on with it!!!

Anyways, results:

CASH GAMES

Microgaming:

Played 23,356 hands for $494.40 profit + $521.79 rakeback = +$1016.19

Graph:

Everest:

Played 899 hands for $123.82 loss.

Full Tilt Rush Poker:

53 hands for $29.45 profit.


TOURNAMENTS:

Stars:

15 x $6.50 45's for the challenge for $42 loss.

Betfair:

4 MTT's played for $120 loss.

Staking: +$81.75


OVERALL:

+$841.57

I played 4 APAT events on Betfair, even though the software tilts the living crap out of me. Unfortunately no decent results there as of yet. Hopefully I might score a couple next month.

I also played the $6 45's on stars for the RTR Challenge, which went shit! lol. No where near enough to even out anything like variance.

A profitable month. I really hope I can build on from here for the rest of next month and not hit anymore rough patches just yet!

Looking ok now

With the end of the month fast approaching the recovery is well underway. I might be able to save this month thanks to the breakeven and terrible luck finally starting to be not quite as harsh. It's a fact that I am not playing much different to when I was running super cold, except now my big hands are holding when they need to and the difference that makes to your win rate and confidence is pretty incredible.

I am still in the top 65 in the rake race, but it's not too great, might end up with a $50 or so bonus.

Fingers crossed the strong end to the month can continue.

OMGWTF!

 I was searching for a funny pic to be a post saver and I ran into this:

Thats just fackin siiiick.!

Ok another post saver...

...footy is shit.

just spent day on the:

watching Burnley lose to Blakburn. thanks to some piss poor refereeing. what a prick Mike Dean is. It was clearly a dive by Olloson. Disgusting.

Poker is goin well, better not type much more in this state, lol laters

Is it over?

...The downwing of course!

Things seem to have picked up a little, with me now booking a couple of decent winning sessions and the BR moving firmly in the right direction.

I was relly unlucky in a big pot last night when I had to shove JJ on a low flop (ended up committed because of my squeeze pre) and then got super lucky vs a maniac, when He min raised BVB and I called with K6s and the flop to come K26 and we got it in. He only had 22... but for once, I finally sucked out and rivered a King! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Hopefully now I can push on and I feel if I got through that really tough time I can really build on it. Fingers crossed!

Can't get through it

STILL fighting like a madman to try and get through this breakeven stretch. Pure sickness IMO, so ridic shit, in fact mostly ridic shit. I get ahead, I go behind. i grind it back, my big hand gets smashes, rinse repeat.

blah blah blah blah blah.

I'll keep going, but it's getting tougher and tougher.

FU POKERZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Post saver...

WTF! - A winning night!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Got home from work last night and fired up a few tables. Was suprised at how tight they were, with only one table being over 50% players to the flop and not many with big average pots.

So I joined what I thought were the best, but in reality I couldn;t find more than 3 decent ones, so was just playing the 3.

It started off fairly blank, with me not finding any decent spots to get properly involved in any hands. I then pick up aces, a fish raises, I 3 bet the BTN, a weak player in BB calls and so does fish. Flop is K44. I bet both call. Turn is another blank, I fire out big, both call... At this point I am think about Kx type hands for them both. On the river I basically put them both in, one had only about $1.54 left or somethin daft. Both call, fish flips KQ and the weak player flips 94o????????? LOL, seriously?  He calls a 3-bet from BB and flops trip 4 with 94. FML. Pretty standard for recently.

I then had KK busted by another fishy player, when he called the flop with a double gutter and I set him in on the turn, which he stacked off to with the same double gutter, he had 8Q on a 79T2 board. Of course river was a Jack and I started think, of fuck me, here we go again, but then it changed.....

I was playing very solid, making sure I didn;t get daft or make any hero calls and finally turned it round with my set vs an overpair that we got in on the flop and then lots of medium sized pots that I kept winning, mostly without a showdown.

I finished the session $82 to the good, which felt like a bit of a miracle considering I went down fast at the start and wasn't playing a big session.

I spoke to snake on the phone before I finsihed playing and he told me a funny story about Yorkshire Pud, he'll probably share it on his blog, but Snake was pretty pissed-up after having a session in the pub with his mate and he was on his way home to play poker...ut oh... Running Bad at Poker + Beer =  Disaster! I then saw his post on the forum this morning: LINK

Not sure what the damage was for him yet, hope it wasn't too bad.

Now I just hope my running like a 3 legged Blackpool Donkey days are over!


P.S - I hope Bruce Lea starts to run better too, I know how poker can mentally screw you over. gl mate.
