Enjoy it while it lasts

I like it when Graphs look like this.
This is the whole of my play for Jan, except for maybe 100 hands on the laptop that I will import later, probably only a $4 profit on there.
Kinda embarrassing to post a 1200 hand graph when others are posting 10K graphs every other day, but hey I have a kid who likes to push me off the PC to play on the Peppa Pig website (If ever there was an argument for a Bacon Buttie it's that pig). So essentially if the boy is awake I play no cards. Incidentally if you do ever play with me and suddenly the chatbox fills with "iuawdhfsah" I am not having some sort of fit, he has woken up and is button mashing.

I am in no way kidding myself that this is anything other than positive variance, $45 profit is purely from winning a flip AIPF. However Frankly I dont give a s**t I just like looking at it :-)

Given that a lot of this is from a microgaming site, and I dont trust em as far as I can throw em, I have withdrawn a fair wedge and it is now somewhere in their "reverse withdrawal" hell. Waiting to get to neteller. Why in Deities name would I want to reverse a withdrawal? I cant remember a single situation where I have walked upto a cash point, put my card in then changed my mind. If I can deposit instantly then I see no reason why you cant give me my bloody cash back!

Nowt happening much

So whilst I am keen I thought I would add a post. Not that I have much to add.
A third ill advised over bankroll expedition to 25c50c resulted in another double up. So I think I will call it a day for doing that for a bit :-)
Dropped down to 10c20c that I am just about rolled for. SO if this session goes well that will be a nice way to continue.
I was paid today for October So I am only 2 months behind now! WOO!

Turns out they are in debt to the Taxman, and he is a lot less reasonable than me. Has even threatened to wind up the business. If they do that is cool, 'cause although I am broke, healthcare lending is still ok so I could buy the business. Their group sucks but my clinic is profitable.

Just stacked someone on a suckout as I type hehe. Mini heater going on at the mo. Gonna come down with a nasty bump soon. Hope it happens on a 5c10c table

Post one. Why am I here

Hi ho neighbours!

Ok so here is my new blog. It isnt my only blog, the other one is a bit more personal than this one. Tends to have most entries locked to people I actually know and such.
So why do I need another?
Primarily this is going to be my poker blog as most of my friends who read my personal blog are not that bothered about the game (odd that innit)?

So anyway in Jan 2009 I have hit a bit of a cash flow problem. The place where I work is owned by a group of South Africans and so their management style is a touch "hands off" Being on a separate continent and all. The upshot is that the group is failing and I haven't been paid since October. Therefore my recreational poker has hit a major stumbling block in that I can't reload. Bummer that.

So seeing as I didn't really have a huge amount held online I have decided to start a new database in Holdem Manager, and drop down to the low levels. Therefore using this time as a means to learn "proper" poker at last.

I don't play a lot so this isn't going to be a meteroric rise up the levels. This is still meant to be fun after all!

Up to this point I have been playing 5c10c mainly, with 2 short interludes at 25c50c purely to clear a bonus. I played like an absolute nit on the whole and allowed the table to provide me with my raked hands. 2 good situations allowed me to double up so Now I have quite a reasonable profit posted which will allow me to be comfortable at 5c10c with 10c20c close at hand.

Here we go.
