Seconds out, Round 3... and an update on the poker!

I know, I know... another week and no updates, what can I say? There really aren't enough hours in the day, how I used to manage doing a full time job, I really don't know!

I have run into a bit of problem on the graph front... I have started using PokerTracker v3, but unfortunately it doesn't yet support Prima/Microgaming sites so I can't combine my old PT v2 database at the moment. Anyway here's what's happened this week...

Monday -
Party, 2 tables of 50NL for 59 mins... +$137.27

Tuesday -
Party, 3 tables of 50NL for 95 mins... -$79.30
Party, 2 tables of 50NL for 96 mins... -$24.73

Wednesday -
Party, 3 tables of 50NL for 55 mins... +$68.91

Thursday -
Party, 3 tables of 50NL for 100 mins... -$290.96
Party, 1 tables of 200NL for 77 mins... +$141.25
Party, 1 tables of 200NL for 75 mins... +$99.22
Party, 4 x $22 SnGs, 1 x 1st, 1 x 3rd... +$52.00

Friday -
Party, 2 tables of 100NL for 83 mins... +$122.06
Party, 1 x $22 SnG, unplaced... -$22.00

Saturday -
Party, 1 table of 200NL for 19 mins... +$91.56
Party, 1 x $22 SnG, unplaced... -$22.00
Party, $3 rebuy MTT, satellite to $300k gtd... (+$207.20)
BlueSq, APAT Dutch Open, unplaced... -$11.00
BlueSq, 1 x $22 SnG, 2nd place... +$38.00

Total for week... +$300.28 (+$207.20) = +$507.48

So, another rollercoaster ride this week, but showing a profit at the end of it. I won't claim the full $507 as profit though, since $207 is in the form of a $215 seat in the $300 gtd, on Party at 7.45pm tonight...

I was bored on Saturday afternoon and entered a $3 rebuy, without realising that it was a satellite. Well I played it real tight, had one rebuy ($2.40) and the add-on ($2.40) and started the freezeout stage without 12.5k chips (CL had 69k!!). It paid 7 seats and with 2.1m chips in play I had 500k going into the final table, easily enough to just sit-out and fold into the money.


Unfortunately, it clashes with the big £10 freezeout at the Pigeons tonight so I have had to bring in a more than capable reserve to play the Party tournament for me, on a straight 50/50 split... Get it won Dewi!!! $30k or $40k each will buy a few Guinesses in Brighton. :-)

As for strict bankroll management, well, that has taken a bit of a back seat again!!

In other news... On Friday, I set two new PBs for 18 holes at Faringdon. 'Out' in 41 and 'home' in 48, for a total of 89 (previous best 102) and only 2 lost** balls (previous best 5). Unable to get anyone to play with I decided to go over on my own and then, on the first tee, I met up another old Rowing Machine ex-regular, Pete and his lad Franky... so I went around them.


** I say 'lost'... well, one went in the water at the twelfth, but the other one??? All I'll say is, Pete is a scouser!! I'll say no more, I don't want to get banned from Liverpool or any pubs!!!
