What a strange week... started out playing my usual 200nl and had a decent start and then went through a period of not being able to stay ahead no matter what!! See BB section for details..... I had one particular session where I lost 6 buy in's in about 20 mins without tilting at all.... they were all big pairs in preflop.... one after the other...
My NL graph for the week...
So something had to change... so with a combination of determination and greed for rakeback (the end of the month is nigh) I decided to give limit a go again...
WOW... stations, stations and more stations...... every type of station imaginable.... the main station being the calling station that we''re all used to. They really will call tot he river with any pair and draw any overcard.....any chance really of catching up and they are there....
The other station i noticed was the betting stations...... they bet preflop/flop/turn and river with or without a hand...... so with these guys I really found you had to call them down with marginal holdings.......A high was good so many times agaist these guys...
I also found a boardsie that plays limit.... The Mad Chef seems to frequent the 5/10 limit full ring tables....
So plan was to bet when I had a hand and fold when I didn't and the simple technique worked quite well and I made a great recovery to salvage the weel and earn a few bob in rakeback as well.... But I really dont think I could do it long term as the outdraws are just beyond funny... You really have to run good at this game and you need cards at showdown
So to sumarise the 10 days from the 21st to the 31st of the Janurary...
9504 Hands PlayedProfit/Loss $1508
VPIP 27%PFR 14%
Post Flop Aggro 1.27
Showdowns Won 52.1%Rakeback $825 Total Profit $ 2333
So overall an excellent week that yet again could have been better in the NL department but I cant and won't complain...
So overall an good month of January despite downswings.... with a total profit of $4949
Outside poker.....
I decided to build a new PC from my rakeback from last month... spec's are here.... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055231544 but then finsing a company that will build it for me for 20 quid I couldn't pass it up...
Jackie is on the mend and getting better each day thankfully.... again many thanks to all for their concern....
Best of luck to everyone playing in Droheda... I'm sorry to miss it this year but just couldn't justifty the buy in with very little chance of me cashing in it... So instead I had a punt on Garry Clarke for €10... best of luck garry... if your blog is anything to go by confidence wont be a problem for you...
new entry this week
