quick update.
got a big day of playing tonight, still over 300 MPP's to get by midnight.
Tried to get them yesterday , but got caught watching the Man.utd v Barca thriller. Real edge of the seat stuff~ not a Man u fan but good to have an all English final !
As for my bankroll , it has continues to spiral downwards, so the bonus and rakeback will be much needed by the time I get it.
Could be the first negative month when I post the accounts tomorrow, next 24 hours will tell.

I am Homer.....Simpson that is
Last night we had a family night in watching The Simpsons Movie on Sky Box office. It had some poor reviews when it came out last year, but I thought it was great Simpsons stuff. It had the traditional mix of child humour (my daughter loved it!)and satirical adult humour with a million digs at the US government. Surely with the way the US openly accepts this stuff the Democrats must get in this time. Or is satire just lost on the average Yank ??
Bottom line is if you got a family well worth a viewing.
As for Poker, it was good to see Sneaks make the second day again in the Manchester
GUKPT alhough he couldn't make the cash this time round.
I had originally planned to go down and play a side event in this on Thursday then changed my mind and plumped for the Bolton Omaha game, but come the evening I was just too knackered so didn't bother going anywhere.
Haven't played live at all for almost two months now and really could do with a game or two. Bolton in two weeks or even thinking of the DTD 321 Omaha.
Of course these all depend to a certain amount on Bankroll and this month has continued to go poorly. In fact I am in danger of actually posting a net loss for April. Down about 300 on Poker plex and similar amount on Blue Square ( played 8 league tourneys and haven't cashed once!), so Bonus and rakeback is only just going to cover all that.
another 600MPPs to go for the month so better get playing, 4 tabling 7 card stud at moment in attempt to stop the rot !

Downswing
Been an up and down time since the last blog. Unfortunately a much bigger down then up.
I was going well with my short stack Omaha strategy and up almost 300 for a week, but then it just seems to have gone off the rails and I can't win a session. Combination of bad beats and poor play has resulted in a 600 downswing leaving me now 300 down for the month, fair to say confidence has gone a little.
Got beaten twice tonight with top FH versus Quads and last night bubbled in the Blue Square game with AK all-in 3 ways versus AQ and AA.
Better stop there before it turns into a bad beat novel. Should have a few days off really, but only got a week to get the last 1200 MPPs for the bonus, which hopefully should ensure i still stay in the black for the month.
Maybe my visit to Bolton tomorrow for the PL Omaha game will revitilise my play and fortune.
until later ......

Long time....no see.......Blogger
Yep , im still alive and still playing poker.
Im sorry to have kept my legions of addicted online fans waiting for this latest post.
Ive had to go back to work and really enjoying it at the moment. Its amazing how 4+ months off work makes you fresh again !! LOL
Snapper came round and fixed my laptop up so I can now sit in front of the telly and make small chat with the missus while racking up the bonus and rakeback play.
As far as playing goes, I had a shocking start playing $3/6 Om8 and losing almost $300 in the first two days. Won it back now and am about even for the month, but means that barring a big MTT hit this month, a small profit after r'back+bonus is all I can expect.
Online I have started playing a bit of short handed PL Omaha and NL Holdem, with a fair amount of success. Read a fair bit about it on the 2+2 forums and despite some thinking that the old traditional buy-in for the maximum is correct as you can maximise winnings, it is becoming obvious that minimum buy-in gives you an unfair advantage against a table full of big stacks. I intend to make the most of this before everyone catches on and the sites start to increase minmum buy-ins. I'll try and post more on this in a later entry this week.
Live play was going to be the £100 f/out on Thursday 24th at the Manchester GUKPT, but Bolton have started a £40 PL Omaha tourney (max x2 rebuys) and I really fancy this. Might get to Bolton and make my mind up then.

End of March.....accounts
March has been a less fruitfull month, due to the slow start because of Crypto wanting to change bonus/rakeback deals. ALso no live success this month to boost figures.
So for March
Poker Plex : up $60
PokerStars: up $60
Blue Square: down $175
Full Tilt: up $105
Playing Live: down $110 (£55)
In total for playing down $65
Bonus of $200 and rakeback in region of $150
So +$285 for the month.
and +$3950 for the year so far.
Obviously a very dssapointing month compared to last 4 or 5 , but I guess I at least didn't lose. I also lost about $150 tonight on OM8 $2/4, where I ran real bad for an hour 3 handed and left me a bit dissapointed for the month.
Still April is a new month and can get started on the full bonus and rakeback straight away.
Hope to have a few adventures and tourney successes to report, I do need to go and play live more often.
