It’s been a long, long weekend December 11, 2006

Don’t you just hate it when it comes around to Monday morning and it feels as if you’ve not had any sort of a weekend? Well that’s what has happened to me! Friday night I finished the day job and planned on a good few hours of poker but after about 45 minutes of play I got a text from the Landlord asking if I’d give him a hand because the pub was pretty full, so I ended up working until nearly midnight. When we got finished I ended up going for a curry with the Landlord and Mrs Pudding so it was nearly 2am before I got to bed. Mrs Pudding stayed over, which is always nice 
Saturday was my usual ritual of picking up Pudding Jr from his gran’s and then seeing who could be the biggest kid, me or him! I then had to work behind the bar from 1900-0000 so was again knackered. Played a few hands and went to sleep as I had to open the pub up for the cleaner etc at 1000 the next day as the Landlord was off to visit his kids. Then work the bar 1500-2300 yesterday! I was well away with the fairies by 0045 and I don’t feel too bad today despite the trains being cancelled left, right and centre, the buses being on strike and stepping in a large puddle on the way to work.

Back to poker then! Out of a possible 9 hours I had planned I managed to log closer to 3, resulting in 287 hands being played and another $23.79 added to the coffers. I also played an $11 SnG which I came 2nd in after getting heads-up as a 13k/5k dog. I did pull back to around even but pushed KJs into AJo on a Jack high board and the rest is obvious. Cash game wise I ran at 20/10/2.5 but I have been running at 24/13/3 over the 1.5k hands I now have logged. No real hands to go through to be honest as there were no real challenging ones. I was paid off handsomely with Cowboys and also with 97s which helped me turn this nice little profit, it seems like the players at the micro stakes on Tribecca just love to pay you off with all sorts of weird holdings!
I’ve had to withdraw all the finds that were in my Neteller account so I only have the funds that are sat in Bowmans, online at present. I should be able to replenish the roll on the 22nd as I get paid and should have around £200 ($375) extra from being on-call on my day job. When I do reload my roll I’ll be taking the rest of the month off and starting afresh on January 1st with a roll of around $500 which is 20 buyins for NL25. Where I’ll be playing I am unsure but it won’t be on Tribecca despite being $150+ up from my initial deposit. I just can’t get used to having to type how much you’re raising rather than the total amount you want to bet and this has resulted in over and underbets and is a pain when you’re multitabling and also the blind structure for the MTT’s etc is horrific and I like to play in the odd tourney. I’m considering trying the Prima network as I’ve never played there and there is decent traffic for my stakes plus 30% rakeback and the ability to multitable using their mini view which is also compatible with PAHUD etc.
I’m hoping to log some hands tonight, probably paying 2 or 3 NL20 games. I doubt I’ll get this bonus at Bowmans cleared in time for the 22nd as the points earned really seem to be clearing very slowly now for some strange reason. I have around 6.9k action points to work off so we’ll how it goes but I’m not going to really chase this $100 as when I do that I deviate from my usual game and that is -EV especially as my game seems to be quite profitable at present. No point changing your game to chase $100 when I could probably earn more than that this week by playing my normal game. I’m brimming with confidence at the minute and can’t wait for the start of the new year as I just know it is going to be a very profitable one indeed.
Thanks for reading and good luck at the felt
