OK - I'm starting this as this section has replaced the old thread where we used to post our weekly results and that used to motivate me to play better

I'm a partner in a commercial law firm in the UK and my wife and I are just having our second child, so I'm a casual player at best.
Quite often I take a couple of months off playing altogether.

I manage maybe 5-15 hrs/week depending on circumstances.

Currently I'm playing $100 NL 6-max (and struggling to come to grips with it to be honest - tiny win rate (less than 1PTBB) over 13k hands since I started it a couple of months back. Before then I was running pretty consistently at about 9PTBB on full ring $50's and $100's...but I really want to crack the 6 max as that where the 'action' is going to be in the near future I think..

I'm also going to devote some time to PS $15 Turbo SnG's (these are good for when I'm a little antsy and I'm running an experiment to see if I can get my ratio of 1st places as high as possible). I play 2 at once.

This week I've played more than usual as I'm stuck at home waiting for the baby to come...so I'm more 'in the groove' than I have been recently.

This week I've played 14 $15 Turbo SnG's and placed 1st in seven of them (and 3rd in one) for net winnings of $343 in 4-5 hours total.
In 6 max Ring my winnings so far this week (Mon-Thurs) (ignoring bonuses) are $161 at 7 PTBB/100 (7.5hrs). I'm due a $90 bonus from Interpoker soon (I've cleared all the easier crypto bonuses). I tend to 2-table the 6max (I 3-table full ring)

My roll started from a £20 deposit at William Hill at the end of 2003 (since cashed back out). My lifetime winnings stand at +$7833.16 and my current bankroll (spread across Net-Teller and about 12 poker sites) is $5379.42.

I also have about $2700 in bonuses waiting to be earned (mainly at PS, UB, Paradise and Pokershare - so I'm waiting til I make the jump to $200 NL before I go for clearing these).

I will try to post the biggest winning and losing hands of sessions for comments - this might also make me think twice before making stupid plays.

Comments are always welcome

cheers

OK - 2 more SnG's this morning - made another 1st place (and a third).

That means I'm 8/8 since I went back to the SnG's when I get heads up (which of course makes my ROI something insane).

Here is a link talking through my thought processes when heads up this morning.

What do you find different at the $100NL level, between the players/play at the full and 6-max tables?

The 6 max are packed with maniacs and sponges (calling stations who will raise/bet at you if you slow down). The Full Ring is an easier game to read.

Swings can be insane in 6 max but there are more games and more money to be made there in the long run..

Not sure how the $25 tables play these days - but the $100 NL 6 max play very much like the maniac-fest that was the Party $25's 18 months ago..

Congraduations!

There are some things that transcend almost anything.

Enjoy it before he get to the crashing your car stage.

I'll throw out a big old W00T for the baby... but almost 10 pounds... You sure thats a baby and not a bowling ball?

Congrats Andy! My baby's due April 25th. Let me know how bad the first few months are, and how much you love it anyway.

Thanks - yes although I think my wife is the most aware of exactly how huge

Had my first session since his birth tonight.

Prima (bet 365) NL 100 6 max- 305 hands +$190 and together wiith some hands last week released $60 bonus too, so that's put me back in profit over last 8 days...

Also about to borrow £200,000 to buy a new house, so it's all action at the moment...
