A movie and some play

Poker play unfortunately (gf is sick so none of that kind of play).

Went and saw '21' this evening. It was alright. Despite the inaccuracies it was good. Not great, but good. Also, having a friend work at the movie theater and seeing it for $2 is definitely +EV.

Then I came home and played some 2NL on Stars. Played 643 hands and made $11.71 putting me at 45.53 BB/100. If only I could keep that up forever.

I hit quads but didn't make as much off it as I would have liked. I was really expecting a bet on the river from MP2.

Sunday tourneys

Played in the Sunday Hundred Grand yesterday on Stars. Cashed for about $20 from a 70fpp entry from a SNG satellite. Also, played in a $9.5k guaranteed KO tourney on FTP using the $26 token I couldn't use yesterday. Didn't cash but knocked out 2 people earning me $8 in knockout bonus (whoopee!). Still trying to find a person to help me move $100 from FTP to Stars.

Oh yeah, played in a College Poker Championships freeroll on Stars last night. Played for a bit (knocked out 3 or 4 people donkaments style) and then sat out. Forgot about the tourney. When I came back to my computer a few hours later I had been blinded out in 23 place earning me 70¢.

Full Tilt down

I guess I won't be playing in that $16,000 guaranteed, seeing how Full Tilt is down at the moment. Bother.

moving off of full tilt

Well it looks like I am going to be moving my monies from FTP to Stars. I am unable to get rakeback because apparently I am attached to some affiliate. I must have had a cookie saved on my computer when I downloaded and signed up for Full Tilt. I've used my Iron Man medals to purchase a $26 token and am playing a double stacked $16,000 guaranteed tourney shortly. Perhaps I'll get a boost to my BR that will be headed over to Stars. With no cash in the tourney my BR over at Stars will be about $130.


New April Goals:

  • move money to Poker Stars
  • get BR up to about $250 or so

Hello April

Let us see.... March ended up pretty bad. I lost a few buy-ins at 25NL (which I will not be taking a shot at again until I am at least almost properly rolled for) and then a few at 10NL. I fell from $250+ to about $70 on Full Tilt and am currently sitting at about $100. Some of the money went over to Poker Stars. I currently am sitting on about $20 and am playing 2NL. It is amazing what some people will call with at 1¢/2¢. I also am holding an entrance to the Sunday Hundred Grand tourney on PS. I won it from a 70FPP SNG (had a bunch of FPPs from when I previously played on PS). Hopefully I can at least cash and add a few bucks to my BR on PS (I should probably take the T$ and play SNGs or something, but I want to play the MTT cause I'm not working on Sunday). I also still have $95 sitting on Bodog that I haven't touched in a while. I think I might use it to make bets on the Champions League.


Goals for April:

  • either work out rakeback on FT or move FT BR over to PS
  • build my FT BR back up to at least $200 (preferably $250)
  • build my PS BR up to $100+
  • get Iron Man Status on FT again this month (probably Silver again but Gold if possible)
  • post more on 2+2 and learn learn learn learn
