First month

Wed Dec 21st 17:46:57 2005

Ended my first full month at $1,305 (£748) or +$1,025 (£588). Only cleared about $70 of bonus money this past two weeks, with a high point of $1,480.

Been on the bad side of variance these past few days and have dropped around $300 for a total bankroll of $1,181 (£677) which includes a $55 reduction to purchase PokerTracker.



Overall I'm happy as my original goal was $600, my 'core roll' is now going to be $1,000 going into January. This'll allow me to play the limits I want with breathing room to move up when I choose.

My main priority right now is going to be getting my ship in order and getting as much money together as I can. I hear over the wires there's a barrage of bonuses coming over Christmas and I need all my money together to take advantage. They're going to all hit at once so it's going to be a big stretch taking down the best of them.

At the moment I'm clearing a $200 bonus at a Prima skin which has an additional $500 of my 'roll tied up, I need to clear 2000 hands over the next day or two to free this up, which isn't easy as this site rarely has more than 6 games going at any level.

Hoping I've finished the downswing now, I posted my first profitable session of the week 6 tabling the $1/$2L tables at Prima for 600 hands at +$9. It's a start. These games are pretty tough too, mostly tight-aggressive which is frustrating because I don't get as many opportunities to play my beloved pocket pairs or AXs.

I've decided to not bother sticking to exclusively limit or NL, both are fun with even winrates at the limits I play, it's a nice change switching between the two.

Currently playing:
$0.25/$0.5NL $30-$50 buy-in.
$0.5/$1L & $1/$2L.
