Wow an update




Well its only been 9 months, what do you want from me? (He said speaking to the one person who is reading this and then probably only because they misclicked)
Poker took somewhat of a backseat y'see due the the annoying twists and turns or my life.
I was trying to buy my place of work and be my own boss, unfortunately the owners had certain insurmountable problems, not least they owed more money to folks than I was prepared to pay for the business, not least the taxman. So the sale fell through and I was left looking for somewhere else to work with a big hole in my wallet where my wages should have been. I am owed something in the region of 4 -6 months back pay :-( plus all the solicitors fees etc.
I was still playing low stakes but my head wasnt in the game so broke basically even. That was only due to bonuses.
So since Jan I have had a rethink. A Hard drive dying lost me my Hem database so I started totally fresh.
My stars balance was $46 so I needed a approach to playing that was going to be low variance and I could use to build my BR again while I wait for my new jobs to start bringing in the money.
I settled on Double your moneys.
read a few posts online about em and dived in. For the most part I am playing $5.20 turbos and things seem to be going well.
My volume isn't what most of the online poker crowd would think of as high as playing multiple tables whilst a 3 yr old is trying to rob the computer to look at the wiggles website is definitely -ev so never more than 2 tables (I may start a 3rd if the bubble is approaching 1 table and I can coast through the early blind levels) and usually when the boy is in bed, so I only have played 87. However in that small sample I am running with a ROI of 23.8% with winnings of $107.60. The graph shows that it took a little while to get the hang, but it is looking OK yes?
I have filtered out all the other games played, ie SAS private donkfests etc so it isnt a true representation of all my play, just the $5.20 Dons
