Going for gold

trendthrift — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 01:37:41 +0000

I managed to get just the one set of 16 STTs in last night but I was so shattered by the end of it that I couldn’t even face updating this thread. Let’s rectify that before getting onto tonight’s results. Last night was a poor session but there were no glaring errors that I could see; just one of those nights.

1st: 1
2nd: 0
3rd: 3

Daily profit: -$77
Monthly profit: $276

Thankfully, I managed to pull it back around and then some tonight having played 33 games in total. I won a decent amount of my flips and played pretty solid in general — and I felt particularly strong heads-up tonight which was a welcome change. Oh, and I unlocked another $10 Stellar Reward bonus. Results:

1st: 7
2nd: 5
3rd: 3

Daily profit: $141
Stellar Reward bonus: $10
Monthly profit: $427

I need to get a bunch of games played over the weekend if I’m going to make Gold status for the first time and unfortunately I have some work to get done over the next couple of days so it’s going to be tough. I’ll be giving it my best shot, though.

Steady progress

I added an extra table per set tonight (making it 16 tables per set) and it felt fine so I’ll be sticking to 16 for the foreseeable future. I played a couple of sets for a total of 32 STTs and despite not really being on my ‘A’ game I managed to turn a profit so I can’t turn my nose up at that.

1st: 4
2nd: 4
3rd: 5

Daily profit: $26
Monthly profit: $353

Back down to Earth

I played a bunch on Saturday but forgot to update the thread; I got 45 STTs in but unfortunately had a bad run and ended up a fair amount down on the day. Results:

1st: 2
2nd: 6
3rd: 5

Daily profit: -$153
Monthly profit: $272

As for tonight, I’ve only played the 15 STTs as I felt really tired towards the end of that set so have decided to break off and try and get greater volume in later in the week. A small profit tonight from the tables but that’s also been boosted by my good run last week earning me a spot on the BOP leaderboard for another $40. Results:

1st: 3
2nd: 1
3rd: 1

Daily profit: $15
BOP bonus: $40
Monthly profit: $327

Riding the rungood train

Another short but excellent session for me tonight. Just the one set of 15 STTs again, but I managed to cash in nine of them and post a nice profit. Again, I feel like I’m playing good, solid poker, and while I’m making the odd small mistake here and there I feel like I’m really beginning to eliminate major mistakes that I’ve been prone to in the past. It was also nice to be on the right side of a major suckout on the bubble for once tonight; that makes up a tiny bit for the constant barrage of painful beats earlier in the month. Oh, and I unlocked another Stellar Reward so that’s a little more to add to the coffers. Anyway, to the results:

1st: 4
2nd: 3
3rd: 2

Daily profit: $132
Stellar Reward bonus: $10
Monthly profit: $425

Continuing the rungood

Another good run of games tonight. I only managed to get the 15 in as I’ve got some work to do before I hit the hay but it’s a great feeling to have built again on the positive results from the past couple of days. I’m playing some decent stuff at the moment and making few mistakes, which I think is absolutely key. Anyway, tonight’s results:

1st: 3
2nd: 4
3rd: 1

Daily profit: $96
Monthly profit: $283

Onwards and upwards

Fantastic stuff tonight, with 20 cashes from 30 STTs. It’s been a long time coming but it’s great to finally have a big winning session to take me way back into the black after a frustrating couple of weeks. Here’s hoping I can kick on from here and make a decent profit for the month and maybe even place on this week’s Battle of the Planets leaderboard after such a positive start.

1st: 4
2nd: 9
3rd: 7

Daily profit: $219
Monthly profit: $187

The obvious negative to take away from tonight’s session is that once again I failed to convert a whole host of cashes into wins. I really must do some reading up on heads-up play to see if I’m making any serious errors.

About time too

Just the 15 games played tonight, but thankfully it was a very positive session results wise. Again, I feel like I’m playing fairly well and although there are a number of regs floating around at the $10 level I do feel like I have a decent edge against the majority of the guys I’m coming up against. I just need to ride out this fairly bumpy run of results and keep playing correctly. As I say, though, tonight’s results are a step in the right direction:

1st: 3
2nd: 2
3rd: 3

Daily profit: $78
Monthly profit: -$32

A minor setback

trendthrift — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 02:03:00 +0000

I managed to get a decent amount of games in tonight with a total of 31 played but unfortunately I came out a little bit behind. No real big blunders on my part that I can remember, but I need to make sure I go through my database and review some hands as I’ve been slack at doing that recently. Anyway, I’m still confident that I’m playing well enough to turn this month’s losses around so let’s hope I can catch a break over the next few days.

1st: 5
2nd: 1
3rd: 4

Daily profit: -$17
Monthly profit: -$110

Turning things around?

trendthrift — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 00:27:00 +0000

I finally got back to the tables tonight after a couple of nights off due to tiredness and therefore the worry that I wouldn’t be playing at my best. I only managed the one set of 15 STTs tonight but I finally posted a decent profit to make it three winning sessions in a row — although again it’s frustrating not to have converted more of my heads-up opportunities. Still, onwards and upwards. Hopefully I can get back into the black by the end of the week.

1st: 2
2nd: 5
3rd: 1

Daily profit: $78
Monthly profit: -$93

Slowly but surely

trendthrift — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 10:43:59 +0000

My internet connection has been a bit flaky over the past couple of days so I haven’t played as much as I would have liked. Just the 17 STTs last night, and a very, very slight profit. It’s still welcome after all the recent losses, though.

1st: 3
2nd: 2
3rd: 0

Daily profit: $2
January profit: -$171
