New Direction

This month has not gone as well as i'd hope. I will make a May results and June Goals post when i get home. while i did not completely suck @ 100NL i did not do so great either. I've decided to move back to 50NL for June and work on my game. I am also tired of playing on Party Poker. This is where my "new direction" comes in.

I am currently researching new sites to play at. The criteria are'

1. Must have RB
2. Must have good deposit bonus and reload bonuses
3. Must work with PT
4. Must be able to Datamine
5. Must be relatively fishy

The current short list includes the following sites

1. Absolute Poker
2. Inter Poker
3. Sun Poker

I already have accounts at UB with 30% rakeback and 600.00 bonus. I also have an account with Battlefield Poker with 30% rakeback, but they don't have a bonus running and i don't have any funds on there.

I never bonus whored like most micro-limit grinders because i hated the crappiness of those sites and preferred to play comfortably. But I'm gonna give this a shot anyway. I will be withdrawing $1500.00 from PP and depositing 500.00 on two of the above sites.

If any of you guys have any suggestions on sites to play at or the fishyness of the sites listed above i would be happy to hear about it. In the mean time i'm gonna be busy over the next few days setting up, installing mods and data-mining.

Rakeback is sweet!

Checked my email yesterday and got a nice surprise, 187.00 had been credited to my UB account for rakeback for April. I rarely played on UB because the competition seem tougher and even without rakeback, Party Poker is way more profitable. Even so i've decided to play a little more on UB, aiming for a 70:30 split between the two.

This morning was my second session for the month on UB and it went really well. I would say UB 50nl is comparable to PP 100NL. There are a lot more tag or ultra-aggressive players per table and there are a few adjustments that have to be made. But the games are very much beatable.

some hands

JTo in the BB

98o ontb

QTo ontb

76o ontb

T4s ontb

These are some of the more interesting hands of the session and are some of my biggest winners. One thing you should notice right away is that almost all are on the button (ONTB). My play was pretty standard in all other positions. leave a comment if you have any questions or thoughts on any of the hands.

I've added some new blogs... give them a look see.

thanks Monkey and Pudding for the positive comments in the last post.

New Goal : 10K hands at 100NL

edit 04/04/07: what follows is one stupid dumbass motherfucking idea...

Not exactly a new goal.In my last post i said i was gonna play a mix of 50NL and 100NL... but from this moment on i'm not gonna play another hand of 50NL unless my bank roll drops to 1K... basically sink or swim.

I've been playing scared for too long, My original goal was to get to 100NL and play 100K hands there. So I'm gonna play my first 10K hands then evaluate the stats and see what i come up with.

My bankroll: $2150.00

I will likely start off with just 3 tables to begin with and attempt to play a more tagish game untill i get used to it. I will be providing regular updates.
