Right well, it's been a pretty successful first month of these, although I took a week away from poker and didn't get half as much volume as I wanted. But either way, it's really my first ever go of playing HU apart from the odd one here and there, and I'm £30 up so it can't be bad.
I think I'm playing alot better in them now, I've realised that soo many of the people at my level are REALLY passive, so it's very easy to steal alot and very easy to let go on the rare occasions they show any resistance (obviously this doesn't apply to everyone)
Feb Goals
1. Break the 1000 games barrier
2. Get my profit at these up to £100 (£70 more), I know you shouldn't set money targets, but I think with the volume and the acheivable win-rate, it's more than reasonable.
Glad to say I got off to a pretty decent start for February. Got a decent session in as well in terms of volume, bear in mind I'm having to single table all the time due to the rubbish laptop I'm on.
Played = 288 Won = 157 Profit/Loss = £37.60 Win Rate = 54.5% (Still going up!)
Managed to have a pretty good session despite the fact Young_Gun managed to win about 5 out 6 of the games we played, didn't appreciate that.
Played = 304 Won = 167 Profit/Loss = £46.25 Win Rate = 54.9%
Poker Points = 93
I'm impressed I'm up this much after YG's thrashing. That's me for now, but I'm gonna try and get a few more games in later tonight after my bath. Come back refreshed.
Lovely stuff, just raised it up pre with AK, flopped trips, turned a FH, and rivered the quads, while being called down on each street with Ace high Posted by Lambert180
Well I did get a few more games in, not as many as I'd have liked but I'm just too tired and don't wanna give myself a bad end to a very good day, so just leave on a high. Successful few games though, so my stats now stand at:
Played = 312 Won = 173 Profit/Loss = £57.05 Win Rate = 55.4%
Poker Points = 109
Well it looks like I might need to up my financial goal, I'll have reached £100 profit by next week at this rate!
GL Paul. Did u get a better C4P last mnth, than u usually do, are u multi tabling? Posted by DEL560
Nah I didn't get better C4P but that's because I didn't play very much last month at all. I'd took a break over the festive period and didn't start up again til mid-january, and then i took a week off again round my girlfriends birthday. So I play the £3.15s and it's 2 poker points per game, I played just over 250 games in the month so I just scraped in for the minimum C4P.
I know much bigger volume/C4P will be easy though, for instance, I think I've already played about 60-70 games this month in 2 days, and they aint been massive sessions. I'm aiming to try and get about 1500 games in this month which would be 3000 C4P.
And I'm doing this volume while 1-tabling. I'm 1tabling because for the near future, I'm having to use my mum's laptop which is pretty terrible and literally if I have 2 tables open I start getting timed out. It's frustrating cos I know I could really crush the volume if I could multi-table, but I'll be able to do that soon.
God I'm so happy to have my internet to have my internet going again. It's made me realise how dependent on it I am. I couldn't figure out why the internet wasn't working so I've been unable to play for 2 days now, unable to buy stuff online which is awkward cos it's valentines day soon and my daughters birthday also falls on valentines day, unable to check on the footy, unable to check bus times when I was going on Friday night, unable to update my fantasy footy team... couldn't live without it.
But I'm back and gonna get a really good session in tonight.
Jeez, I have never worked so hard to earn 90p! Started the session ok, then went through a really bad patch of where I lost 9 out of 10 games played, at one point was £20+ down for the session, then got playing against this one guy, can't remember his name, played about 14 games against him, he started running well against me, took an early lead, but then I won about 8-9 of the last 10 to finally get me close to break even. He ran off, so I played 2 more games, got myself to 90p profit and called it a night. Played = 346 Won = 191 Profit/Loss = £57.95 Win-Rate = 55.2%
Poker Points = 179
Happy with my poker points so far from only 3 sessions.
God it felt like a grind today, managed to get a decent amount of volume in, only a small profit, but from how I started the session, I'm well happy to be anything break even or better. Earned a fair amount of poker points though. Played = 400 Won = 219 Profit/Loss = £61.85 Win-Rate = 54.8%
Poker Points = 289
Looking in good shape to reach my 2000 poker points and also looking good to make it to my £100 profit, but it's early days yet.
