Latest Poker Update
Thought I should update this blog to keep everything up to date. I've been keeping notes in Notepad rather than post them here, which is rather daft! After all, that's the whole point of blogging, isn't it.
Anyway, here goes...
$22.50 returned from $5 stake at a 15 player tournament at Poker333. I finished in 2nd place after being the chip leader for most of the game.
Absolute Poker $1/$2 cash game. Took $20 to the table and was sitting at $36 when my connection to the net dropped out and I couldn't get it back so I gave up for a while and took my $16 profit.
Went to Pokerstars after that and entered a 5 table 45 player Sit n Go tournament for $6 + $0.50. I was chip leader for most of the tournament until the last half a dozen players where the lead changed frequently. I was playing well but at one point the blinds were at $2000/$4000 and I only had $625 in chips left but I managed to double up a few times and I was back in the game. Eventually when we were playing heads up I took a bad run of cards and couldn't catch anything worth playing so ended up in second place. I won $60 which I was delighted with! Another profit!!! This time $53.50.
Sunday night and feeling a bit pissed. Shouldn't really play iin this state but though what the hell. Took $20 to an Absolute table and played about 10 hands making $28 profit! Maybe should take a beer or two more often!
Played another $6 + $0.5 Sit n Go at Pokerstars. However this was only a 9 player and I didn't fare so well going out in 5th place.
Lost $7.75 in a $1/$2 fixed limit game of Texas Hold 'em. Couldn't really catch any cards although I played for a while and my money came and went a bit. Overall it just wasn't happening for me.
Another lost just today, this time at Pokerstars. Playing in a $1/$2 game of hold'em, I went $26 down before calling it a day, or at least an afternoon.
Overall, a profit of $46.75. Another profit, albeit small!
