A fucking horrible ending to the month to be honest, and possibly my worst month I can remember. I cant cash in an MTT to save my life at the moment, and while i have never played them a lot, it pisses me off and is obviously affecting the way I am playing elsewhere to try and make up for it.The unedited stats for the month in all their glory:Total Buy-Ins: ($ 1391.99)Total Gains: $ 1072.36Net Gains: ($ 319.63)In The Money: 26.5% ITMReturn On Investment: - 23.0% ROIGames played: 68Hours played:

STTs okay MTTs dreadful

Published on 2008-04-30 17:37:00

Hello reader, monthly summary time again. What a strange month, I have done the usual on the STTs and turned the regular profit figure but I have had an absolute disaster on the MTTs. The stats don't lie £132.50 up on STTs, but $277.34 down on MTTs, ouchy, $144.84 down overall. Betfair have decided to up the buy in of the 7:10pm 1k gtd which pretty much killed off paying out 9 places and now usually pays just the 5. Previously at between 55 - 70 players paying 9, final tabling was a reasonably

March Success

Published on 2008-04-01 13:04:00

A short but sucessful poker month March had been. I only got back from Oman on 18 Feb so gave only played online since then. After a bad start, I seem to have turned it round with a few success in MTTs. $10 down on STTs (only played 14), but a decent $271 up from MTTs (from 17 tourneys). So overall, $260.59 up, which I am alos happy to report includes a free $28 bucks from a swapped % from Snap. Comedy poker players that we are have often swapped %s but never actually managed to cash! The

A Look Back at the Resolutions for 2007

Published on 2007-12-29 15:01:00

I thought I might look back almost 12 months to my new years resolutions for 2007 and see how I have done. Admittedly I wasn't expecting a spell in hell for four months which certainly changed my outlook, but that is all over now so wont dwell to much on that.This is a copy and paste of the resolutions with my take on how it has gone.Make a profit at poker for the year. Passed, I cant gibe you an exact figure but I have more in my accounts and have withdraw loads. I am going to email betfair for

A Christmas Message

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you have a great time and everyone gets all the presents they want. I am going to make a conscious effort not to play on xmas day, although if there is a decent bonus tournament I might...Frustrating time on the poker tables at the moment, I have had a couple of finals tables including a 2nd in the $1.5k gtd on betfair for 300 bucks, but I have had soooo many close encounters when I have spunked off a load of chips close to the ft, and flunked it.
