£2K+.....


I reached over £2,000 today. So I have made over £2K in just under 2 weeks as a 'person who is playing poker for money for a bit'.

Yesterday I played the most hours since I started by a long stretch and it was a pretty frustrating day. I started up but then was down to about £1,700 at worst - a loss of £190, I kept winning some back, then losing it back again and repeating this process. However I made it all back and then some to put me nearly £100 up for yesterday. In contrast today I played for about 6 minutes and made about £65, lol.

I think yesterday was a good indication of the new discipline I have and the benefits of being comfortably rolled for the level you are playing at. Not once was I tempted to move up to regain losses more quickly; I simply accepted it as variance and played on, taking a break whenever I felt like my A game was slipping. It paid off. This is sensible poker. I feel like I am a decent player when I'm playing my A game but too often in the past I have succumbed to tilt and implemented E game which although works for my mate Ed, is not a winner for me.

Why didn't I play this sensibly starting a few years ago? I would be loaded by now... possibly.

I treated myself to a new PS3 game today - Pure, its a quad bike racer with crazy tricks and is good fun. Luckily for me with my 'job' I have plenty of free time to play it. I really hope I can continue this success, the sky is the limit! Good luck at the tables!

So close...


Just came 2/238 in the $5000 guaranteed $10 rebuy for $1049, 1st paid $1837. I was in for $20 cos I didn't rebuy just an add on. Heads up got it all in with A8 vs K10 for the win, no K no 10 one time!!!...but he hit a K and a 10 lol. Then I doubled up and then shoved with QQ he calls with A2, standard A on flop and turn, sigh. Still, not bad for a few hours work, that site is full of donkeys if you can get cards you can get paid off! In the rebuy period I held the Jh in my hand and the board came out x Ah Kh Qh 10h giving me the royal and I shoved into a 120 pot and got called by A10, lol.

That win and some decent cash results brings my roll up to £1837.57, long may the winning continue!

4 figures


I started my journey as a 'pro' last Wednesday so it's been a week and I just now crossed the £1000 mark, wooooo! The roll is £1010.06, not bad for my first week! Think I will leave it for today now so at least I can say that I made over £1000 in my first week. That's all for now, long may this continue, onwards and upwards!



P.S. I would like to wish my gorgeous dog Rosie a very happy 14th Birthday today! She's doing pretty well for an old girl! Many happy woofs.
