A few days ago I had to deposit 50$ to Titan so that I can transfer some money to a friend. Played quickly some SNGs with a mixing results.
Today I logged on again to play one or two SNGs during the EC final and I noticed that for some reason or another I was entitled for a deposit bonus. The maximum bonus which I can clear is $35. Sweet :) but, and there is always a but. With the $5 sng you only build up 8,5 titan points per SNG. And to clear a block of $5 you need 600 points. Meaning 71 SNG to clear $5. Lol. Strange how these deposit bonus are always so hard to clear for low limit players. I have until the 20th of September to clear as much as possible, which will probably only $5.
I won one SNG today, bringing my BR back above my deposit amount. Wooot.
We will see how things will develop from here.
Good luck at the tables,

Update |
Because I didn’t delete the blog, I feel kind of obliged to write an update now and then. And this is a now moment.
Like I wrote in my previous post I’m currently only playing cash tables at the moment. Playing cash tables gives me more freedom about my play time. It is much easier to stop when I want or to join a cash table then starting an SNG. A few days ago my BR was crushed from 40€ to 8€, this due to unmotivated play during SNGs resulting in a streak of no Cashes!
I now proudly can announce that my current BR just broke the 50€ barrier. Apparently the combination of watching the European championships and playing 1 NL20 table is the ideal combination. To bad that I discovered this too late!
Also the level of play helps and this was a surprise to me. There is a big difference between the level at Pokerstars and Unibet Poker. To be short. The best to describe my game is “as tight as Spandex”! So the others should know/understand that if I raise or re-raise that my monster is made of is very close with almost an unlimited number of outs. But no, the fishes here keep funding the post, which obviously will be mine. I can’t complain about this.
Another strange thing is my buy-in. The first time I bought in for 8€, cause that was all that was left in my BR. But I still buy myself in for 8€. How strange is that. It is even worse when I buy-in again after a break. I only buy-in for the profit I made during the previous session, assuring break even for the day. It seems that the other players give you much less respect with a lower buy-in than when you would buy-in for the maximum amount. Luckily I can profit from this at the moment. The downside of course is that you don’t get maximum value out of your monsters. But I can life with this. As long as my BR is growing, doesn’t matter how fast, and I’m enjoying the game, it is fine for me. I also try to stick to the rule that when I doubled my buy-in I’m gone.
I also started to update/clean up the Amatuer poker bloglisting. I’m removing all the dead blogs on there and blocking the ones which doesn’t have a link back to the bloglisting. It sounds harse but the rules are clear! I’m now half way. I finished this task already with the Sportsbetting bloglisting (http://sportsbetting.onbloglist.com). On the other side, I’m gentle enough to inform the people if they have placed a link on their blog but without their referral ID.
On the sportsbetting side, I’m still making a profit during this European Championship. Mainly due to one correct score bet. 2 days ago I was close to another correct score but Cech had others ideas about this.
You can find my bets in advance on my sportsbetting blog (http://dremeber-mybets.blogspot.com). Hey, I even created a widget for that blog. You can find it in the left side bar, feel free to post it on your blog. It goes without saying that I’m happy to return the favour.
Good luck at the green felts,
Dremeber

thx for the comments |
Hi all,
Thx for the comments. I made me decide not to delete the blog from the internet. The main reason is that like somebody posted, it would be much easier to kick start this blog in stead of creating a new one when I feel like blogging again. I love the layout of my blog and it took me some time to get it how I wanted it. So it would be a shame to erase this effort. Thanks for opening my eyes.
Played some poker in the past few days. Had deposit 40euros on unibet poker, the place where I started. Due to still a lack of motivation this had dropped to 8 euros. This evening I doubled it, so the way up has started. So again a lesson learned. DONT PLAY WHEN YOU DONT FEEL LIKE PLAYING. It seems that when I'm playing while I shouldn't I can't care if I win or loose a hand.
So, I decided to the few time I will play, I try some cash games. This way I can leave at any time I want, which isn't the case with SNGs.
Cheerios,
Dremeber
