A BIT OF A RECOVERY
Neteller: Last week $108; Current $108
Full Tilt: Last week $45; Current $45 (-)
Ultimate Bet: Last week $119; Current $100 (-19)
Total = $253
Profit on the month = -$19
A nineteen dollar loss on the month might look less than thrilling but it actually represents a significant recovery. I played some more .5/1 Limit and had a dismal run which saw me down to $47 left on the site at the worst point. I decided,
since I was no longer rolled for the Limit anyway to change back to $5.5 SnG's and see what that brought me. On reflection I shouldn't really have been playing Limit, since I am not putting in the hours needed to overcome the variance. Seduced by a desire to work off the bonus I'm afraid.
Anyway my SnG game seems to have returned and in the 25 games I've played this month I've made a profit of $53. Not overly exciting in itself, but a significantly good roi which has cheered me up a bit.
The face-to-face game at the local Cricket Club continues to go nicely with 14 players quite often now. I'm running a very steady profit here, helped by the fact that one of my main competitors turns up less frequently since he's become romantically involved - ah the follies of youth!
The best poker news this month was nothing to do with me. Old "Diplomacy" (the board wargame) mate and long time Poker player (he's mentioned in Tony Holden's first book) Pete Birks won $1,000 and an all expenses paid entry to a big tournament in Monte Carlo from Full Tilt. Pete's regular game is $200 No Limit at which he is very successful. It will be interesting to follow his progress. There is a link to Pete's blog on the sidebar.

It's a reflection on how little I'm playing now dD. I'm averaging about 10 SnG's a week, so it's quite hard to make big progress financially. However it's as much as I want to play. When/if I get to $130 or so on UB I'm going to move to playing 2 games simultaneously. Hey - I'm trying to be disciplined! :-)
Hey Krons,
long time no see mate. I hope you are still owning those guys at the cricket club!!
Anyways, please could you link up the new blog..

Thanks mate,

I've changed it to your new address Mik. Burnley will be itching to see the dates for the games with Blackburn next season - I might just avoid the area when that one weighs in :-)
