Thanks for the limk Kuso I will read over it. I played one game on an internet site on a 9 X 9 board and got killed Whatever rank is considered the lowest I have a lock on currently.

Day behind in updating as I spent yesterday just drinking cervezas and grilling food. In the midst of all of that I decided to play a couple of sit and goes which I don't remember much about other than I got knocked out 7th in a 30 NL one and then played a HU 50 PLO8 which I won.

Well shit. Day has started off pretty bad. Nearly finished up with the StaffPoker sign up bonus. Three hands that pretty much put me in the hole all at 100 NL.

AJs flop J103 and guy milks me a little bit with a set of 3's, he didn't bet enough for me to get away from the hand, not much I could do here.

AK on button and reraise 10.00 a MP bad player who had bet 3.5. Flop comes down Kxx and I get about half of his stack in and then another low card and I put him all in. He has QQ and rivers a Q.

AJs and I reraise a bunch of limpers from the small blind and get a couple of callers. Flop is great with AQx two of my suit. Bet about 2/3 pot and get called in one spot so I am a little concerned but not too much. Make a decent sized bet on turn that is called when another low card falls, river is a Q and he shows me QJo for a one outer that takes down another nice pot.

Feel my play in NL is coming along real well. Playing a pretty Laggish game which seems to be working well in forcing people off hands and making it near impossible to read what I have. Alot of fun mixing it up. Just seems to be real hard for folks at least at this limit to play back at me unless they have a really strong hand even though they should know I am playing all kind of stuff, so taking down alot of small pots and building the stack up nicely in most cases just got to learn that magic of how to stay away from 1 and 2 out rivers

Well the bad beat saga continues as I get my money in with the best hand and get the shaft.

Amazing how a shitty day can turn on a dime with a good run of fortune at NL. Decided to play a little more this evening to make back some of that loss from earlier and won three big hands in succession. Posted them here: http://livepokerforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11208

Piers!

You r da man! I checked moneybookers.com and I dont know why neteller is still the the leader!

They only charge 1.8E for wire transfer from your account to any account in the world!! I am changing to moneybookers.com....or at least I'll go to party or empire once a month and then ask them to send me whatever I'm taking monthly to my moneybookers acct.

Thanks man!

Knocked off a couple of short sessions to finish with the Staff Poker sign up bonus. My visitors from Austria left this morning. Pleasant folks that have invited me to come to Austria to stay for a while. Perhaps I will take them up on the offer in the future as it looks like a beautiful country and as far as I know the poker in Vienna and Baden are ok so I would have some live poker outlets there.

Yeah KS I play 5 card draw from time to time, usually at Paradise to take a break from other games and to work on the bonus there. I do enjoy it though and the Pot Limit version is extra nice as you can really put the screws to folks since they usually play so poorly.

Played some poor bastard heads up in Triple Draw and busted him up pretty good. The rake of course got us a little bit before he hauled ass but it was fun.

Just couldn't get myself motivated today to play much. Really need to put in some solid hours the rest of the month as I have a shitload of bonuses that need to be taken care of in the next 12 days.

Pretty bleh beginning to the day as I just kept getting played back at and having to release hands in the early morning NL session. Nice that PT now can import hands form the B2B network so it is easier to keep up with things there.

Probably will try to put in another couple of hours somewhere and then break for the day and perhaps make a cake or something as this is my two year wedding anniversary.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'll have to say it has been a pretty good two years, many more up times than down to be certain although I would still like wring her neck at times

Oh well my unfortunate run at the SH games continues as I every time I check raised the flop with the best hand I got called by the guy with one overcard to hit and invariably he hits it. Played just a tad bit of 200 NL and made a little before deciding to take a break.

The fuckers had me down about 50 at the 7 stud tables within 10 minutes with some horrible suck outs but I managed a strong rally in the latter going to mount a comeback with a couple of 4 outers myself in some big pots.

What a playa A short session at Stars to put me over the top in a big way today
