so i drop $215 at $50nl... i played bad today I admit.. i felt ill infact.
I felt so bad.. because i blew £840 in 3 days, i dont regret it cause I think it was very +EV. But im so tilted now I install 888 poker casino and smack £46 on 11 and win. Its unbelievable, I just cashed out £1696 from my £100 deposit.
So im up £740 in 3 days or ~$1233. these 3 days have been so unreal.. extreme bad luck to amazing good luck. Bad method, but omg thank you so much.

A bad start
I lost $1200 at $100nl in total.. extremely annoying.. so many bad beats i dont even wanna talk about it. So i redopsited for 50nl and just made a video for my 5/10 friend to review! I have been meaning to do one for ages, it should be great to get some feedback.. and hopefully i will start to run better

Returning to poker.. perhaps..
Well my challenge mentioned in my last post lasted no more than a day. I was too tilted just from poker not so much variance, perhaps burnt out from the game. I haven't played since only here and there maybe every couple weeks i play 1 tournament or so, nothing big. Well I kinda ran out of money as I wasn't playing poker and I have had no job in this time, but I am making an aggressive shot at $100nl cause I dont think I can be bothered with poker below $100nl. Even though I have a 60% rakeback deal on betfred I feel so much more comfortable at pacific and I believe the softness makes up for the high rake and lack of rakeback.
I made $143 in about 50 minutes of play, winning a $60 pot with a bluff catcher on A55 with a flush draw, flush completed on turn and I time down on river and call with 66 and its good. Well that sounds like a fishy start but the site is just as soft maybe softer as when I left it in march. I hope to run my $600 deposit into a bankroll for $100nl and repay my savings account back to what it was several months ago! Wish me a variance free start!
I also recently graduated! woo!

10 Day Challenge
After playing 5 days online and one night at a casino, I have made about $1200 and have set myself up with a sweet rakeback deal on a new site. I have decided to take 10 days to try and hit some targets.
This challenge should hopefully be a good way to get some money in and get myself boosted back into 100nl so I can finally look to get to 200nl.
My targets for this 10 day challenge at 50nl 6-max are:
- 50,000 hands
- $5000 profit including rakeback
Wish me luck. I will start monday-wednesday, depending on plans of people around me. Updates to follow!

Good Day
Today was alot better, I thought I played well and I wanna try and keep my winrate above 10 big blinds per 100 hands. I really feel like I am playing well and I have the potential to make hundreds day in day out, and hopefully more later. I went to the pub today so didn't play as long as I could.

BetFair
Today was my first day back at the tables after deciding to BR myself for $50NL, I decided to make use of the rakeback offer at BetFair giving 60% rakeback for up to $2500 and then 30-40% afterwards. I cant believe how good rakeback is, I have definately been missing out, especially as BetFair is really soft. The players are passive and very nitty pre flop although I am quite used to this but I actually think it is less aggressive than pacific. I have to say I dont enjoy playing at poker stars and getting 3-bet relentlessly from the blinds when in late position.
Twice I got QQ all in pre against AA, and after playing 3000 hands I didn't see anyone else go all in pre, unless they were less than mid stacked and one guy paused on calling with QQ for 40BB against me and I had JJ and i was like wow... It is just so transparent you spend an hour playing against some people who always are calling and playing weak post flop then eventually they 3-bet you and then on the flop they pot it... its like erm i wonder what you have lol! Its in spots like these where JJ becomes hard, can you really fold JJ-QQ pre to these nits I think you can, maybe i can learn how to fold.
Post flop I saw some really crazy calls resulting in back door flushes in craziest spots ever and people stacking with 2nd/3rd pair and rivering me. Although one guy bluffed 80% of his stack on the river for a large overbet and I had rivered the nut straight, so shoved the rest in and he called with 6 high lol, snap called then left. He must hate money. My bluffing had mixed results, but I feel pleased because the times I got picked off, I had read the hand correctly, just I had made a bad read on thinking they would fold. This is easy to adjust and in spots like these I can value bet thinner. After a few hours playing I was down 6 buy ins and 4 buy ins below expectation, which doesn't count some annoying spots where they hit but you have a set and have to pay the unlikely part of their range.
Overall down $86 but I believe up $120 in rakeback, but not 100% on that.
