Long overdue
Been a ridiculously long time since updated blog, mainly because I just havent had the time to play a large volume of hands. Having a baby tends to have that affect as doing the old fashioned stay up till 3am doesnt work when you know at 7am you have a energy packed boy wanting to play
Therefore been playing shorter sessions here and there. After my last post I sacked off Laddies when they turned down my retag request for 5th time and took the smallish roll I had and banked/spent it. Didn't play for a month then decided to deposit £150 on will hill and set myself a $NL50 challenge to build a bankroll. That was 5 weeks ago, that £150 is now £900 and all profit is from $NL50. I haven't been using tracking software but think ive ran very well as haven't exactly played a huge amount of hands.
The only blip I had is when I got to the £600 mark, I got kinda bored and on a Friday night decided to whack the whole lot on a $5 $10 table (nice strategy after slowly building it up), sitting down with $988. I wasn't tilting though so played quite solid. Went down to $820, however then suffered a horrid bad luck story while still winning the pot. I have $820 and was dealt 10 10, I raised to $30 on button. BB pumped it up to $70 (he has $1.2k stack), I called. Flop was a beauty of 10 9 3 (2 spades). BB bet out $80, I raised to $220....... at this point he disconnects. On will hill some tables have disconnect protection, this table did and so his hand is classed as all in with the $150 he has put in so far. Cards are flipped and he has 99. I dodge the one out and win the pot. However gutted as would have definitely doubled up, as turn was a 2nd 3. The guy reconnects and starts moaning that he got cut off (dont even think hed realised he had lost the pot until someone else pointed out how lucky hed been to disconnect)
I sensibly logged off after that as felt tilt creep up and that pot got me back to the £600 mark, so no change after my higher stakes adventure
Anyway since then played a bit more $NL50, 6 table and HU, few small ups and downs but had one hot session where couldn't miss any O/E straight draws. Now upto £900 from initial £150 at start of Nov. Not bad but now I have money to play higher again so may not last. My only wish is that if I do it I want to do it when am feeling positive and not when tilting
