Latest Bankroll

So, my BR has taken a battering, due to 3 things:
1)I've been donking about, for fun;
and 2)I've been playing Pot Limit and Limit ring, and I'm still learning, but it's all good!
and 3)I did a small br contest at Full Tilt, and gave away about $30 to the winners
Poker Stars $0
Full Tilt $85.39
Absolute $0.33
Virgin $19.93
Rileys $56.00
UltimateBet $4.00
Neteller $0.22
Total $165.87

Have a good day!

Bankroll update

Just a br update, haven't played any poker since the FT mtt win really, the odd half an hour here or there at ring, but nothing of note. Played the OFC today at Absolute, finished 150th out of 1707, which is ok, but would have liked to have cashed. There were a few of us CCers in it, KingCurtis is still in, right now, I believe he's in the cash already?
Anyway, br as of now:
PokerStars $4.40
Full Tilt $200.89
Absolute $0.33
Virgin $97.83
Rileys $56.10
Neteller $0.22
Total $359.77
At least my br is heading in the right direction, and Im on holiday for 2 weeks soon, so will get a lot of poker in then, to make up for all the play I'm currently missing!
Adios,
KD

Won a $2 mtt at FullTilt!


So, played a $2 mtt this morning, as I hadn't played much poker all week, due to work/life commitments.

270 entries, I had a few good hands at the start, then went card-dead for a while, and at one point I was down to 4 big blinds, due to a suckout on the river from the other guy. So, I waited for decent hands, and kept pushing all-in, and managed to double up a few times.

Got into the cash, and then aimed for the final table (my usual plan), hit the final table of 9 in 6th place. FT was pretty aggresive, lots of PF action, I stayed out of the way unless I had a hand. Managed to get to final three, then started bluffing/reraising a lot and managed to get to be chipleader. Knocked out 3rd place, so was heads-up. Kept on reraising his limps, and betting big with hands PF, and got a nice 3-1 chiplead. And never looked back, cashed for $140, for a $2 buy-in, nice!

Bankroll update

Haven't really played much poker lately, because of work/other commitments, and the poker I have played has just been donk play, where I'm not too bothered if I lose, as it's only micro buy-ins. I did play a $3 rebuy ($6000 gauranteed) at FT the other night, purely because a player I admire, and know through CardsChat was entered, and I was hoping to get on the same table as him. There were 753 entries, payout was to the top 126 players. I played tight from the start, rebought and added-on at the end of the rebuy period, so total entry was $9.30. I hit some good hands after the break, at one point I was 19th out of 250 left, but then there was a crazy hand where I flopped a set, but the other guy went all-in chasing his flush, which he caught on the river, to cripple me. I tilted for 5 minutes, let of some steam at the all-in guy, then apologised and said 'well played' to him, and got back to my game. In the end I came 93rd, for a payout of $16.64 so I made a small profit, but I was more happy to have played well throughout the mtt, and if the guy hadn't had hit his flush earlier, I think I might have final tabled it, with some luck.
My FT account has actually gone down, but that's only because I made a small competition on CardsChat to celebrate my 3oooth post, and awarded $5 to the winner.
Anyway, bankroll as of now:
PokerStars $0.05
Full Tilt $75.24
Absolute $0.33
Virgin $89.14
Rileys $55.43
Neteller $0.22
Total $220.41

Adios,

Just a brag


So, as I've been at work all week (nights), I haven't played much poker, apart from the odd ring session, or freeroll. This morning I sat down at virginpoker and played a 1 euro mtt, 70 entrants. I played tight/agressive all the way, with a few bluffs near the bubble.

Final table I was chipleader, by a long way, so I concentrated on the low to medium stacks, and tried to avoid the big stacks unless I had a hand. In the end I knocked out 7 of the last 8, and went into HU with 3-1 chips. It took 30 minutes, HU, but eventually I won, with a FH. Payout was 21 euros, for a 1 euro buy-in.

Current Bankroll

Ok, just a quick update as to where my bankroll is, currently. I have a new account at rileyspoker, purely because I'm a member of the local rileys pool/poker hall, and just by depositing the minimum ($20) I get £30($60) worth of pool table time/poker tournament entries/drinks vouchers, so it's all good. Not only that, but I got a 100% match-up bonus, and they also threw in $15 straight away, with no need for clearance! In the end, I deposited $40.

Anyway, current bankroll:

PokerStars $0.05

Full Tilt $79.90

Absolute $0.33

Virgin $65.76

Rileys $55.13

Neteller $0.22

Total $201.39
