Fortnight #1

Fri Dec 2nd 08:36:27 2005

Finished first 2 weeks. Ended November with $525, or +$245 (£140).

Had all my accounts frozen which stopped play for around 4 days, got it sorted now, was worried they'd seize my funds and ban me, but it worked out.

I ended up only being able to do 3 Prima sites in total. Absolute is out the picture now as they've changed their rake requirements making it twice as hard to clear the bonii.

Had funds tied up in other places so didn't get a chance to stack the PokerStars bonus, no big loss, that site is rigged anyway.

In the next 10 days I plan to clear another $100 Bet365 bonus, then a $100 reload from Party that'll require 1,000 hands but should be able to knock that out in a day 4-tabling. They've also released a new client so you can minimize the windows, meaning on a 1280 display you can get 9 tables in, that'll be yum, my max so far is 6.

So apart from a few mishaps I'm pretty happy, got ridiculously unlucky in big pots, I'd take down a dozen $3 pots then lose the $30's everytime, last week however I've been able to claw some back, only down $20 or so from actual play now.

With $300 tied up at Bet365 I had $200 spare, decided to put it in PokerFantasy, worst games I've ever seen. 'Took a shot' a few minutes ago, playing $1/$2 NL 6max, far too high for my roll and I suck at 6max... only played 3 or 4 orbits. Most memorable hand was getting Q3o on the BB, was raised UTG and I forget how many callers but I was getting 12:1 so called, flop came QJ3r, I check, original raiser bet out, dude to my right calls and I raise allin for $40 or so more, original raiser calls and he has KQo and spikes a K on the turn to take my buy-in.

I promised myself if I lost that I'd leave knowing full well I can recoup that at this site at the $0.25/$0.5 NL tables very quickly... 5 minutes later I join a $0.5/$1 NL 6max game, took down a nice handful of mid-sized pots without ever showing and left after 4 orbits or so +$67 on my buy-in which recouped my previous losses with a sweetener on top.
I won't be playing those limits anytime soon, the donks make it far too dangerous.

Almost at $600 now, once I hit that it'll be my core roll, anything over I'll allow myself to withdraw for December, so I start January with that $600, so by early-mid February I can hit up the $1/$2L tables comfortably.
