FUCK IT then lost $160 playing $600 heads-up

bankroll absolutely decimated, no excuse for this im sober as a judge

A Determined Grind

All day i have been contemplating, football + Beer or online Pokers (mrs is out) it was pretty much a 50/50 but logging a quick session a minute ago has mind up my mind



i will now play and win back my money - even if it takes 5000 hands!!!!!!!

will update what happens

Toot Toot!

I Knew it

FFS sake its almost like i wanted it to happen...............$315 down in two sessions..........only positive thing is that i wasnt drunk or degening at higher stakes.....



However there was defintely some real tilt in there alongside the usual coolers/beats which any player will have to face, i cannot keep calling when i know i'm beat, even if my hand looks pretty.

i've had to redeposit the withdrawl and my figures on the side have been updated

bankroll $900.

March - Flying Start

been a great start to the month, 5661 hands & $148 with a $50 rakeback payment already, i'm putting this down to the study I am taking and sticking to one game (full ring) is helping a lot!

tonight im playing the $200k guaranteed again, either alongside a Full Tilt schedule of mtts or more likely Footie Manage if i cash again i will make sure im dosed up on caffeiene so i dont fall asleep at end game!


so far +$1361 for the year, very please with this :-)

March Goals

Last month was excellent profit wise (+$717) but over half of that is very unlikely to happen again as it was from a tourney cash and a degen session at $400 Rush…

This month I have to get back to grinding, I only expect to be playing $50 Rush and $50 Full Ring, carrying on my trend for buying in for 50bb’s – I want to log a lot of hands this month so I have a decent sample to see whether it works or not, with this is mind my March Goals are

30k hands
Gold Iron Man Status
$400 Profit
1 Decent Tourney Cash


I also have 2 weeks of Cardrunners Membership so I want to spend some time looking at the videos, see if there is anything I can add to my game, there is a series of $50Rush vids by someone called Kush that has been recommended…

Will post again soon, hopefully to report some profit!
