Bugger! I never did see them in this size!

Attracting title isn't?
So what I'm talking about! I mentoined a few posts ago that I finally did got my new car. Well here it is.So where r we now? The topic still doesn't cover the tittle or does it? Now there are much bigger cars than this one. For sure.
Yesterday evening driving home from work, the little disaster happened. It was dark within minutes and this at 6.30 pm in the evening during summer. Few minutes later the hail started to poor down. If have never seen so big and violent hails in my life before. As a result, more than 100 dents in the hood, same for the roof, same for 1 door, etc...
My biggest worry (car wise that is) is that the insurance company belonging to the lease agancy will write a one week old car off, like they would do in Germany. In dutch: declare it "per total". In English total loss.

So here are the hails:


So indeed: BUGGER.

Good luck at the table,

Did I loose it?

Okay I never was a great poker player. Let's put me in the middle of the field but my results today gave me an indication that even that not the correct place for me.
I played 8 SNGs and only did get once ITM. I lost the internet connection when playing my first 2 SNGs. Result a 6th and 7th place in the $3.40 18 seater. After my connection was restored I gave it another shot with a promising third place and a shameful 14 place.
The SNG where I ended in 14th place should have been an indication. Luckily I did lay down my QQ post flop to minimize the loss. But I was forced to play my jacks all-in pre-flop to ran into AK. The A on the flop sealed my fate.

Later that evening I tried a combination of 2 18 seaters and 2 45 seater. Again no cashes. Bugger! I did ran into my hand histories. Maybe I was not playing aggresive enough during the bubbles or crucial moment. On the other hand I ran into so many pocket Aces that it is almost unbelievable, but thats poker !

Good luck,

Back to square 1 and Pstars

Okay, it is going downhill. In the past few days I lost 33% of my Titan BR and my complete Unibet Poker BR. So time to shift gears, step down a level a return to my favorite PokerRoom. In the hope that the Poker Gods will credit me for that move.
I know that it sound incredible but almost all my losses are based on 1 and 2 outers against me. And of course all on the river. But hey I only have (had) a small BR and there are more important things in life for me. Okay, I'm trying to collect enough for a decent LCD but if I don't I don't. There are far more important things in life.

The main reason to move to Stars is that they have a double reload promotion. 40% in stead of the regular 20%. So I now have 180 days to clear 680 FPP to clear my $34 bonus.

Besides the poker side of life, the rest is going great. I got a raise above my expectations and last friday I picked up my new car. A great Ford Mondeo. I will publish some pics later on this month.

More luck at the felt than me,
Dremeber

Fighting back

Fighting back is always harder than making the original profit. Don't know why but it is.
In the past few days my BR has increased again to a miserable $79. All of this profit is made on NL50. Don't know what I'm doing at that level but I'm there. I should step down back to NL25 ans I don't know why I'm not stepping down.

Personally I don't see much difference in playing NL25 and NL50 besides that stakes of course. The advantage of NL50 is that I'm clearing my bonuses much quicker but this is a lousy reason to stay playing at that level. While the I know that NL 50 is way above my BR I probably won't move down until I'm starting to make some decent losses there and then it is too late.

Total BR was 2 days ago, 178 EURO. ($282) The weak $ is helping European players. But we have to life with this fact.

Good luck at the felt!

One day isn't the other

No matter how much you try you can't dodge variance. I tried and tried and tried but at the end 50% of my BR was gone. This streak was spread over 2 days.

Running into 2 outers time after time, even 1 outers against me were not rare.

I evaluated my plays and didn't see anything wrong. Shit happens I guess. So back to square 1.

Good luck at the tables,
Dremeber

Here we go again

Starting to enjoy poker again. Can even cope with the bad beats again. Maybe the switching point is that I now have a goal. A real goal, something where I can work to. It will take me ages to collect the money to buy one of the LCDs in the previous post but it really gives me the motivation I need.
Started again on Titan, with some decent result. The BR isn't growing as fast as I was hoping for, but at least it is growing. Had some really bad beats during the bubble today otherwise my BR would have been above the $100 mark. But it will come, I'm confident that it will. I will keep playing on Titan until my bonus period ends. After then we will see. Probably I will be switching to FT.

If you also want to start playing on Titan poker then visit pokernetonline. These guys are giving away No deposit bonuses for the biggest fishpound on the net.

Good luck,

A new goal?

Maybe I have found a new goal to play for. It is getting time to replace our tele. When I bought it was state of the art but now it starts having difficulties when starting up. Shutting down without intervention. So the search for a new tele has started. And immediately ended.

At the moment there are only 2 options left:
Option 1: the 42 inch LG scarlet LCD.








Option 2: The samsung 40 inch 6 series:






At the moment other bills have a much higher importance level. So why not try to gather some of it via poker. I think I need to win around $1500 to buy it completly but when I reached that profit they probably will not build this TV anymore.

But hey we can give it a shot and see how much we have cleared at the end of this year.

At the moment my BR is:
Titan Poker: $57.35
Unibet Poker: 29.95 EURO
Online account 1: $85
Online account 2: $50
Unibet Sportsbook: 9 EURO

In total this makes: 38,95 EURO and $192.35. But cause I will have to pay my TV in EUROs, it is 161,2 EUROs. Lots of money needed :) O man, dreams.

Good luck,
Dremeber
