Yes I know it's jumping the gun but it is 11pm on Sunday here and I am done for the week.

I'd just like to say how much the discipline of knowing that I will have to post my results here each Sunday night has already improved my focus - thanx guys!

Monday 6th to Sunday 12th December.

Excession’s stats:


Week started very badly. I took a $130 hit on Monday on the Party NL $25 tables – some bad beats then a $40 tilt

So on Tuesday I switched to playing Pokerstars Turbo $6 SnG’s whilst I felt trigger happy.

I played 8 and managed 4x1sts, 1x2nd and 1x 3rd - netting a nice profit of $83 for 2.5 hrs work.

With my confidence back I went bonus hunting in NL Ring from Wednesday onwards.

Played at Empire (quick $10 bonus for 50 hands played), UB ($700 deposit for $184 bonus of which I’ve worked off a princely $9 so far) and Paradise (who offered me a $50 reload bonus for $100 deposit – I have worked off $10 so far).

A peculiarity of the Paradise point system (need 100 pts to release each $10 of the bonus) is that any 25c+ raked hand generates 1 point (no more no less) so I dropped down to 10c/25c NL $25 Tables to play. Boy are the players bad down there at Paradise (and yet their stacks are the same as at Party $25’s so you can win almost as much money from them).



OK the figures (taken from PT) (all are 2 tabling)

NL Ring
25c/50c – 916 hands +$90.86 (10BB/100) (pulled it back after my terrible Monday)
10c/25x – 186 hands + $20.66 (22BB/100)

Total 1102 hands +$111.52 (average 12BB/100)
Win rate $10.37/hr

$6 SnG’s (PS)
8 entered
ITM 75%
Net amount won + $83
ROI 160%

So that’s +194.52 and bonuses released of $29

Total addition to bankroll +223.52

Total actual time spent 13.5 hours – making an effective rate of $16.55/hr.

Last week was +$243.24 but only an effective win rate of $12.55/hr - and that's three solid weeks in a row now..

Nice comback Excession

my stats 12/5-12/11
$1157.85
21.05 hours
$55.00 an hour

these sessions were split through .50/1.00 and 1.00/2.00 NL. I only ended up $4 dollars on .50/1.00 though (very cold cards), but did well on the 1/2.

$40 NL live ($1/1 blinds):

12/10/04: +$19

Straightforward play, no tricky hands

12/11/04: -$101

A comedy of suckouts. I know people like to go all in on their flush draws, but can they stop hitting already? One or two tricky hands, some money left on the table.

Don't know exactly what I had but I ended up down -500 in about 25 hours play. Just a really big string of bad beats.
