On the upside I did make SilverStar tonight and should make it next month no problems so my rakeback should be around 20% equivalency next month and likely clearing $150 in bonuses, I just need to stop my graph yo-yoing like it has been but I think that’s a mindset issue of feeling like I am making headway and then trying to get too tricky for the level of players I am against at the moment.

Got off to a bad start with dropping 3 buy-ins in the first 350 hands. Managed to get a rally going though as I knuckled down and focused more. Got lucky with KK > AA once but also had some coolers towards the end like K7 < K8 on a K78 flop blind v blind.

Got up to $43.90 at the high point then had some run-bad meet play-bad and ended up only banking $15.30 over 2812 hands in 139 minutes

Ending BR: $319.46
Profit: $15.30

Change of direction

Posted on by

As any visitor to the site may have noticed, it has gone a fairly radical change in design which is intended to go hand in hand with a change in direction for the site. The focus for this site from here forward will be my renewed journey into the world of poker, both online and live, as I work my way back up the limits to find my game again.

After black friday I lost a lot of motivation to play online (along with a chunk of money behind held by the U.S. DOJ) due to the uncertainty of the future of sites even if they weren’t US-facing. I have taken time to watch what happened in the industry and given the lack of action towards the sites that didn’t continue to accept U.S. players after the initial issues a few years back, along with the seeming continued operations of Pokerstars for non-US players, I am feeling more confident in putting in the time and effort at the tables again. This motivation is also helped along by the fact I want to get a few people a few things that my current employment wouldn’t allow so I feel now is the time to rededicate myself.
