Where Im at, update on goals.
Current totals
A quick post to update my total. I cashed £116.37 after a few small cash game wins, and im currently nicely positioned 40 players from the money in a $7000 guranteed rebuy.
VC Poker - +£2070.77 / +$4038
Ladbrokes - +£214.45 / +$418.18
Party - -£100 / -$195
Poker333 - +£15.95 / +$31.10
Live - -£266.67 / -E440
I am generally sticking to VC at this time. The structure of the tourneys suits me better, and there are so many weak and easy to read players. My only problem at the moment is that when I pick up on that weakness, especially in tourneys, unless we are near the money getting the weak players to fold their weak hands is a challenge, hence despite the fact I make a good bet or bluff, I am often caught out by people who struggle to release. When I spent a bit of time considering this prior to writing this entry I asked am I simply easy to read?
I would like to think not, especially as I am consistantly winning by playing aggressively. This aggressive style probably provokes some of those weak calls by my opponents, but it is also helping me to get paid of in spots I have no right to get paid off in. A prime example today when the BB raised me all in after I had made a button raise. This was a $2-$4 game, and the BB had $450 to my $180. I called with JJ as I wa convinced he had a weak ace. I was horribly wrong as he showed 9-6 OS for a total bluff......!
Anyway the running monthly total shows a healthly profit of £1934.50. Unfortunately with Dublin and other bills including the years council tax (Over a £1000 !!!!) my bankroll has sat pretty still, however I am just currently bang on my £200 a day target.
Target Update
To date I have averaged 193.45 pounds profit per day. What I have realised I havent taken into account is the fact that there are days I simply cannot play due to work. I am thinking f revising this target to around about £3000 a month, to take into account work etc. For the time being I am going to keep a rough look out, but untill I havefirmly built a bank roll and can set a defininate goal I am going to keep these goals and targets fluid.
For the time being my aim is to keep improving and try and play some larger off line events for experience pupose. I will almost certainly have to qualify online as I will never justify paying a huge one off tourney entry fee!
Anyway back to my tourney, its getting close to the cash.
****0700 stop press****
Tourney was a failure, but I found a very juicy cash game and was able to cash out another £197.40, whilst still leaving over $800 on VC.
Best wishes
