Change of plans

Well actually not a change of my plan, cause there wasn't any. But I switched again to SNGs. I guess it still is my main habitat.
The fact that a colleague of me, is showing some excellent stats was the only push I needed. Also the fact that my son has a better sleeping regime helps. another factor is that I have far away plans to try to aim for Silverstar and SNGs are the fastest way to get there.

With all this in mind, I left the 18 seater, $3.40 behind and move to the 6.50$ 9 seaters. And to be honest I did see much of a difference in level of play. In the beginning I do loose some dosh but that cause my SNG play was dusty. Now it is getting much better.

Will keep u posted!

Good luck at the green felt,

I'm back!

Surprise! I'm playing again!
Not frequently, just for fun and without any pressure. And I have to admit I love the game (again).

In stead of playing SNGs I switched to cash games. Why? It is so much easier to start and stop when you want. You don't have to wait until a SNG is filled and you don't have to play until it is over. So it has all to do with time management. The reason can be seen in the picture! :)

For once I did not set goals or targets. I'm not recording my results. Hey I even cash my winnings if their big enough. I cashed $110 in the last week. Not bad for 2 hours play.
I don't follow bankroll management rules, etc... I do play above my limit. Playing NL50. But hey I'm having fun and that's what it is all about! Maybe that's something that we all forget. Fun. We all started cause we liked the game and suddenly, while we still like the game, we start to focus on making money!

Cheers,

A happy 2009

I guess everybody has made some new years resolution. Some for the regular life, some for the poker life. Well all my new years resolutions are for the regular life so I won't bother you with them.

Since 3 weeks I'm playing again. Not frequently but once in a while a SNG. I did deposit a fresh bankroll of $50 on stars, still my favorite poker room. I can proudly tell that the BR has increased to $65.

I will see where it brings me.

For all of you a very healthy and profitable 2009.

Cheers,

Merry X-mas

Do I miss playing poker?

Well sometimes I do but being busy with my son is so much more fun!
Last weekend I cleared up my accounts. I now have $212 in my Moneybookers account. So it could be worse. This is a nice BR to start all over again when my sun has a more predictable sleeping regime.
Just got an email today from rakeback.com that they are offering rakeback on ultimate and absolute poker, even if you already have an account there. So I assume these rooms are desperate for players after their scandals. Maybe worth a try. There are 2 requirements to qualify for this bonus is that you may not have played for 3 months on there and your account may not be tagger to someone else. That second part is the problem.

Good luck,
Dremeber

Hibernation

Yep, the tittle says it all. This blog and my poker career are going into hibernation. At the moment I have limited time to play and even less desire to play the game. So there not much to blog about. Once in a while I will still play, I still have a BR on Stars and Cake.

My other blog: European Sports Betting will continue. So if you feel the desire to contact me it would be wiser to do it via that blog! I had my first big win yesterday!

hope to be back!

Straight flush ...

... but not for me! Bugger. Did only play 1 session in the past 5 days. To busy with my son, football, sportsbetting and playing tennis.

So Sunday evening I logged in, prepared to turn my Cake poker account into a winning account but 10 minutes later I lost 2 buy-ins and shut down. The first time I lost with KK vs QQ. All low card on the flop but a Q on the turn. The problem is that I never did put him on QQ. I did not slow play my kings not did I played them strong enough! I did loose with pockets kings 5 times out of my last 6 times I got them dealt.

The other buy-in was lost when my straight was beaten by a straight flush. Nothing I could do about it!

Better luck next time I guess.

Cheers,
