running hot


Right i thought i might sum the last week, after finishing exams last wednesday i hit the cash tables on will hill with the aim of clearing 1000mpps to get their monthly $100 bonus. I played mostly 50nl and started off loosing fortunately i started running well for a few days and im looking at $500 profit for the week after bonus and rakeback. This is an encouraging start even if i do run like a god.

I expect my online poker will slow down a bit now as the exam period is comming to an end and there will be other distractions including Aidans 2, 4p cash game prying me from the laptop. Im planning on sticking with will hill for the time being due to its bonus and loose play the only drawback is that the traffic at my limits is low and at certain times of the day its not worth playing.
I have finally payed for some poker software going for holdem manager in the end so hopefully i will be able to make some sense of my results soon.

its been a while

I havent posted in over a month exams have taken up most of that time and ive hardly played any poker since being back in durham. However this is all about to change i had my last exam this morning and now have a month to do what i want. Exams didnt go well and id be surprised if i passed my physics modules but i cant do anything about it for the time being so ill just enjoy this month and play lots of poker.
My sports betting didnt go to plan over easter with ronnie dominating the field but overall i only lost £20 so nothing major. I staked tony in march some time $40 to play micro stakes online as he clearly has the tallent to beat the game and was broke at the time, this immediately went well for us and i agreed to cash myself out of the deal about a month later when his bankroll hit $360.
I got elected into the poker exec for next year which im enthusiastic about and i will be helping Gamble organise the poker festival planned for the end of term.
Right time to hit the cash tables.
