Here we go!!

So a lot happened since I last blogged . . . I cashed out loads, tilted away loads and stopped playing for a couple of months due to having no money but $100 was deposited last week on Full Tilt and for my first 5000 hands I am crushing it :D this is goooood. Hoping to keep it up and who knows maybe move up soon, putting in loads of volume and looks like I'm easily going to achieve Ironman status next month (which would be a first for me) I like winning . . . :)

I was introduced by a fellow DCer to Rush Poker Tourneys on Full Tilt and final tables two in one day :D :D woooop meaning I have a nice spike on the end of my graph for my first full month of poker!! I am probably running stupidly good but fingers crossed I'll keep doing so :P so far I have to say they seem pretty easy though?? We'll see what happens :) so yeah here is my first month . . . 

This makes me happy :)

So I messed up . . . 

Won a FTP satellite into Midnight Madness, won $50 and threw it all away plus interest in a day.

I need to not be so stupid, and also need to start winning SNGs consistently before I go bust which could happen soon, I had a sweat session with a guy and I played a few tables and although we both agreed I played correctly throughout, I bust out of all of them (6 in a row i think) which is normal for me. Shame . . .

p.s. Just secured Rakeback on Full Tilt :D

At last, my $2 Full Tilt SNG ROI is positive . . . hahaha 111 games at this buy-in and think I'm getting the hang of it, found a guy on DC who has said he will sweat me and gimme some tips and very excited for that as all I wanna do is improve!! Something seems to have clicked for me, cos now even though I still run bad, I think I am opening up enough with steals and re-steals to have enough chips to be able to take the bad beats without busting out. I frequently seem to be winning SNGs after taking a bad beat and playing push/fold with 3BBs 5-handed lol :) proud of myself . . . 

Know that no-one is probably reading this but meh :) I think it helps, anyone who doesn't blog . . . give it a try . . . I have always been reluctant but definitely think it helps you to objectively analyse your progress and your play in general, highly recommended.

So I'm trying to put in volume, this of course is the main thing about SNGs: play lots of 'em. I played a good few 18-man turbos on stars and now grinding away at some STTs on Full Tilt . . . I also sketched some basic schedule ideas for my Full Tilt roll and it currently reads as follows:

Full Tilt Poker Schedule

Day 1-3

- $2.25 9-man Turbo SNG x 50* ($112.50)

- $1.10 18-man Turbo SNG x 10* ($11)

-  $1.10 45-man Regular SNG x 10* ($11)

*minimum

Sound good???

I hardly got to play at all today but I did play a $5.50 45-man SNG on Full Tilt (first one I ever played) and won :) woooo always nice when things work your way.

Also means my challenge to double my roll in three weeks has already happened . . . hmmm so anyone fancy setting me a new goal for Full Tilt???

First blog post and it has just turned midnight here in Scotland where I'm sitting in my room playing a micro stakes MTT on Full Tilt :) woo lol. I finished Uni for Christmas today and now have 3 weeks to eat, sleep and breathe poker . . . my bankrolls on the two sites i play on currently read as follows:

Full Tilt - $67.70         PokerStars - $33.00

Tiny amounts really but I'm aiming to double them up in three weeks grinding SNGs mainly with the odd MTT. I don't know if this is plausible, probable or even vaguely possible but I'm going to give it a crack!! Lets see what happens eh!?

UPDATE: Busted out 13th in the tourney, chip leader decided 69spades was god enough to call my mid-position 18BB shove and after I flopped my high pair he hit his back door flush . . . meh I made some money :) $7 :)
