Withdrawals

been flying this week, up $200+ on the cash tables at a real decent win rate... and even better our monthly pay out for the occasional lunchtime games of £55 came so ive paid off £170 off the credit card... the first official payments of 2010 No More Pain Poker!!



in case youre wondering the other monies has paid for her dress for xmas, some new boots for her and COD, a jumper and jeans for me....i guess i need discipline to direct all winnings to my debt as planned but you gotta keep the mrs sweet - its kinda like hush money!!

should really be playing tonight as the mrs is working and the kids are with their nan or dad but I just cant be arsed, as long as i clear $10 a day im on track and in fact im like 3 times over my target this month - good times for now.



Full Tilt Bonus is over half way clear need to clear 1500 points in 22 days, works out around 70 a day..... when i can be arsed to do a session i can clear 120 an hour so i look good for $175 middle of next month!

bankroll $1025, hope youve all started the new year as well as me.

Grinding Well (hopefully not variance)

Hit a semi big session Monday, started sweet with 3 buyins in about 750ish hands, I stopped to take a break as after an hour I get tired... So off I went online and blew some steam getting killed continously on Call of Duty 2, proceeding to fuck my mates off as all I failed to pick off targets with my sniper rifle when opponents were wide open!
I was going to leave it for the day but i decided with the mrs free i should hit the tables, especially with my year end bonus to clear... unfortunetly i hit a big downswing nearly losing all my prfoit from earlier before rallying to finish up $3 over 1500 hands!!

Logged on today for a quick hour blast aiming to earn 100 Full Tilt Points, 45 mins later im 3 buyins up again and 100 points are earned.

so a sweet couple of days 6 buyins up with a nice chunk of rakeback to come...



just thought id finish with a couple of hands....obviously not real interesting as $25nl but ah well, nice to see me play well or get lucky in the last example

Hand 1

standard as hell, think he would of got the money no matter what but sometimes you gotta jam when you can, he would of folded a lot of rivers if we slowplayed

Big Little

This aint gonna go good... just used up my last $T to register for the big little and the $10k guaranteed super stack... i feel fing knackered but ive dropped about $50 last night and today playing shite, this is my chance to claw it back, to massive donkaments lols!!

currently had a sneaky double up with AQ >AK... i told you this aint gonna go good, will report back a bit later through edits

hmmmm came 15k odd out of 32k entrants queens into aces... then decided i couldnt be arsed with the 10k game, it was a superstack and super slow...

to top it all off ive dropped about $75 in cash, why play when im not in the mood?!

im an idiot, gonna deposit £20 as account looks sparse

bankroll $960 FFS

gonna grind tomorrow as mrs is working, least 3k hands.

More Live Shenanigans

went back to the casino last night for the £10 rebuy,there was a group of about 10 of us I had already decided before the event that as it was my mates birthday i was gonna just get pissed... i did not take the event seriously at all and was eventually in for£45, got down to the last 3 tables and I had a stack of 4k at blinds 300/600..however I got a double up with 8's elimating another shortstacks ace 9 and then i double through someone with a flopped trips and suddenly I had over 20bbs and an above average stack.

but poker is a funny game, ive gone from zero to hero and then this sick sick hand happens...im on the button and find that is limped and then re-raised to 3.5k by one of our group Ready... i look down at kings... me and Ready are both similar stacks... i decide to just push 16k, let him take me on if he wants but giving him an opportunity to fold.... when he annouces "Daly youre gonna be angry" i puke a little.. he of course has aces....i stand up and a king is the first door card, the word sorry leaves my mouth before the bloody aces comes.... despite picking up a flush draw im bounced in 25th... my mate didnt even get in the cash with my chips ffs.

after this i sink a few pints and hear they are starting a 2nd cash table £1/£1 NLH with £20-£200 buyin, i decide its worth a shot and buyin for £60 and were playing 5 handed..3 hands in im reraised allin when the jack hits a 732J board and i call with queens....ace hits the river and i groan but it seems the donk was playing J9 lol!!

i play on for about an hour waiting for our last player braddick who comes 8th for £100.... i end up with £165 after buying in for £60 and drinking loads and losing £20 on blackjack!

decided to "withdraw" £85 so figures and looking even cosier!

bannk roll $1028....
