Delayed Update

Sorry i haven't updated for a while guys, Have just got a new job and have been having to sort that out so haven't played as much as i'd of liked. Anyway still made a profit in the games i've played and thats always good.

So the numbers for my 2nd Set so far :

Played = 55
KO's = 65
BI = $181.50
Rets = $209.62
+/- = +$28.12

As for the job i started it on Monday, Its only a small company that makes Concrete items(Slabs etc) and Sheds, Fencepanels. Up to now am really liking it, All the staff are friendly and i've een given flexible hours so i can get my time in as and when i want.

First Set for Stake Finished

I've just finished up my first 200 game stake, Finished with some very nice numbers :

Played - 190
KO's - 209.5
Buy In's - $627
Returns - $931.63
Prof/Loss - +$304.63

Aside from these i played 10 MTTs as part of the stake, Sadly failed to cash, The buyins from these MTTs totalled $80.40 making my total profit from the first part of the stake $224.23.

Have spoken to my staker, we are going to run the exact same stake again, If i can keep up the results we'll move up after this set.

Signing off

A Happy Greg :D


EDIT - Also comments on the new blog set up ??

New Update

Just a simple update on numbers from the stake for now. I'll do another update at 200 Games.

Played - 132
Buy Ins - $435.60
Returns - $616.50
P/L - +$180.90

Doing very well in these and keeping a steady profit moving.

Also played a total of 7 MTT's in the stake now, still haven't cashed 1 :/ Bubbled 2 by trying to build a stack to challenge for the win rather than limp into a min cash.

Buy In's for MTT's - $61.60

So Total Profits - $119.30

Pretty much how i'm running at the moment. I know its standard varience but YUK.

Anyways Round up of so far :

Games Played : 78
Buy In's : $257.40
Returns : $366.62
Prof/Loss : +$109.22

Still not too shabby. Once i start running normally again i should continue to up the profits.

Also Played a $26 MTT and the Early Doubles 1 day with the blessing of my backer. Sadly no returns from these. So taking these off my numbers the total profit at this point in the stake is $71.22.

I'll update in a week or so.

New Staking Deal

So its been a while since my last post. Which has pretty much run concurrently with my lack of play at the virtual felt. Having a couple of weeks time out from the game has helped me i believe, Am now back and raring to go with my new stake.

The Stake is with a guy from 2+2 its for the $3.30 90 Man KO SNG's on FTP. I've agreed to play 200 of these straight out then me and the staker will evaluate and see if it'd be a good move to up the stakes and include some small stakes MTTs alongside.

The players in these games are terribad some of the plays just defy belief. ABC poker through the early, Mid stages should easily keep you around a playable stack for when the antes come in where you can then pressure the fish and induce some crazy spazz plays, Build the stack for the crunch time.

One another note the World Cup has been total tosh That is all.

Just A Short One From Me

Kind of a help post (most of you bloggers out there will know why i'm doing this), Below are links to
videos that teah you How to play 8-Game Mix and How to play Badugi .

I personally have never tried Badugi but am going to give it a go as it is in the 8-Game mix which i'm hoping to play durig the SCOOP Festival of poker. I've given 7-Game a go before and am reasonablly comfortable with all of the other variants, So dust my Badugi skills up and i should be ready to rumble.

Anyone out there know what events they are playing during SCOOP yet ??

Crazy Heads Up Live

At AOC a couple of weeks ago we played Omaha for the first time, i went out pretty early in the game with The Nut Flush draw and OESD vs Top Set which filled up on the turn so GG there. Anyways i got into a heads up side game. We had huge stacks of around 250BB's to start with but we were playing 3 variants (changing every hand). The Variants were NL Hold EM, NL Omaha (:o) and NL Razz (Crazy Crazy Shit playing this NL) and the blinds were going up on every 4th hand. Needless to say it didn't last long, suprisingly it all ended on a Hold Em hand. Anyways enough rambling on.

Online poker has been goin ok since i chopped the MTT, I've played around 44k hands of 0.05c/0.10c Rush PLO for around $30 profit but i've also started getting Rakeback on there so it's a very nice amount i've actually made. The swings in this game are crazy but theres enough players who don't really know basic PLO strategy to make the games juicy.

Over on PokerStars the SCOOP series is starting very soon (2nd May) I've got a couple of $11 tokens which i earned in the blogger tournaments and will use to play a SCOOP Poker Tournament

Anyways thats it for now so Good luck on the felt.
