feb update
ok so i not posted in a while, i'm just lazy!!
well that and work has been crazy since coming back in Jan
well my stars roll is now gone, my party roll is at bout $20 ish, i gonna try grind that up playing micro cash tables
now i know a lot of people set goals for 2008, i never did but i think i going to.... not now gonna have a think bout it 1st
but one thing i have decided... i just cant afford to play without rakeback so with that in mind i have put $100 on full tilt i am thinking bout putting some cash in either littlewoods or sunpoker as i can get good deals on both of them
i think for my pre work morning sessions full tilt will be my site of choice as i think its the only site with rakeback with a decent level of traffic at 7:30-9am uk time
but at weekends i think i will use l'woods or sun as they are both on uk time n i think have good traffic at weekends during the day time when i might be playing e.g. 11am -4pm ish
work is still crazy for me, and i have courses starting soon for my exams in jun so poker may be a little quiet for me, also got GF's mum with us n she stays in poker room/2nd bedroom so no play while she here.
hope ur all well n i will think bout those targets/goals n post some time soon ish

What a month!!
hey all, well as u may or may not be aware i peaked around the end of Aug getting the roll up to a fine figure of $600!!
then a few lost coin flips and was down to $500. This then sparked a few days of what can only be described as pure madness!!
Chasing and tilt saw me gamble and spunk my hard earned roll down to bout $160!!!!
i saw an article in a poker mag advising on building a $5k roll in like 9 months or something, they had 2 approaches SnG & Cash
For SnG they suggested playing single table $11 as any lower was a waste
for cash they suggested Buying in for half at a NL$25 i.e $12.50 25c blinds and sitting there tight as a nats ass and only playing AA,KK QQ and AK strongly i.e raising hard/reraising and firing again on flop
Being the fool that i am i sort of tried both approaches!!
up to yesterday my SnG results were pretty good:
$11 Speed:
Entered: 17
1st:3
2nd:2
3rd:3
Cost:$187
Return:$270
Profit:$83
basically i make the money 50%with an average $4.88 per game, (mag suggests anything above $2 is good)with is ROI of 44%
however another 3 games this morning which i have to admit i played bad!!
now looks likes this:
$11 Speed:
Entered: 20
1st:3
2nd:2
3rd:3
Cost:$220
Return:$270
Profit:$50
now i make the money 40%with an average $2.50 per game, (mag suggests anything above $2 is good)with is ROI of 22%
I play speed as they are easier to fit in before work!
I have also play a few non speed:
$11 regular:
Entered: 11
1st:4
2nd:1
3rd:0
Cost:$121
Return:$230
Profit:$109
i make the money 45%with an average $9.90 per game, (mag suggests anything above $2 is good)with is ROI of 90%
obviously much smaller sample of regular SnG's but seems like i should concentrate on more of these if i can
Now i said i tried the cash approach too, i started buying in for half on the NL$25 and playing tight (not as tight as mag suggests but fairly)
To Table From Table Profit/Loss % change
12.50 10.44 -2.06 -16.48
12.50 12.45 -0.05 -0.40
12.50 16.64 4.14 33.12
12.50 15.74 3.24 25.92

50.00 71.00 21.00 42.00
50.00 0.00 -50.00 -100.00
So up to yesterday my roll was looking good and up to $380but then this morning i spunked 3 speed sng's and 1 norm sng with no cash
so down $44 for day i decide to stick $50 on the NL$50, well one mis timed bluff and a horrid rivered str8 to villain saw that disappear!
So back to $280 ish now, but on a positive note i am going to sovereign poker club this sat night to play the £20 semi freeze out, wish me luck!!
any feedback on my roll and performance so far in sng's and cash very welcome!!

TILT ALERT!!
ok, firstly please check out my previous post as al thoughts bout what games i should play live at sovereign poker club are appreciated!!
ok 2ndly i don't feel any different but i am pretty sure i am on or a whisker away from a serious bout of tilt that wood seriously dent my quickly shrinking bank roll!!
all was going well til bout a week ago, i had slowly been grinding up taking the odd risk here and there but it was paying off
then i had those 3 days on holiday where i made $200 and got up to $600 roll
since then i have either played bad or got sucked out on!!
i made $10 this morning before work, only to go and lose $20 at lunch, and then the crazy set in!!
i had about $450 so what do i do...... i only went and put $100 on the table!!! jesus!!
in about 10 - 30 mins it was gone, to be fair i got done by AA, KK and was out kicked with top pair and str8 draw
jesus, i need to get my head str8 quick!!
so now down to $350 still a workable roll but how long will it take me to get back to over $500.....
damn it!!
ok so whats my best course of action guys? i know i should def drop a few limits so whats ur thoughts??
should i drop to:
pennypoker 2c/4c tables
5c/10c i.e $10 buy in
or 12c/25c i.e $25 buy in
??
i know i been seeing too many flops, trying to be too creative with suited connectors and mid pairs etc, thing is those are the hands that if i can hit i will build my roll a lot quicker then just waiting for premium hands that generally win small pots or get sucked out on for big pots

been a while
hey everyone i know its been a while since my last post
been busy with work, had a holiday, got my exam results......... I PASSED!!! bit of a shock but i will take it anyway i can
also played some poker, started well making bout $200 in 3 days, but since i've been erratic to say the least and am down down bout $150 from my high of $600
some bad play but also some bad luck, oh well thats poker
i mite of said b4 that i have the greenlight from the gf to go play at the sovereign poker club, i was gonna go during my hols but was bit busy so next wekend i will be going!!!
i have 2 choices, be a pussy and play the £5 re-buy so i can have a cheap look and find my feet
or man up and play the £20 semi freeze out....... more expensive and more likely to get out played or just make a fool of myself!!
what should i do??
