I'm down to the stage where I should grind up at SNG or forego my fun MTT or just say f it and carry on

played a tentative sample of 9 $3.50 Fifty50s and made $7.91
182 VPP to plat and near to a $50 Stellar

messing around 1-tabling 5c10c LO8

playing a $3.50r/180 a 3hr time limited $2.20 and the plo8 $3.30

nice lrr

nice

can't win then all

good luck lad

Happy 2012

Poker is strictly for fun from now on. Fun being the $10 PLOr, the $3 PLO8 and a few SNG and turbo tournies before the $16.50 PLO 2x

Beats the hell out of grinding

o well

2013

interesting

Started playing a few PL/NLO8 sng again ($1.50s and $3.50s, 9 and 18-man on Stars)

Up about twenty $. They are still an easy way to build a few bucks up without playing poker very well and fill better than I'd feared. Still shaking the rust off.

now up about $120
these are free money

Wow a $3.50 45-man NLO8 ran.

managed to bink it

Now about $170 up now in 9 days. Cleared first Stellar of year and am silverstar. Probably played around 350(?) total. It's nice to beat a game even for nickels. They used to belong to someone else and now they are mine.

I don't even play them very well.

Lost about 50 of that back in undramatic fashion. May have been sloppy in places. Tried a $7/18 and may leave out 9-mans once I've got a set going. Staying well away from hypers.

Mixed in 3 $7/18s. Got a second and a third.
Rest didn't go so well but still +$30 for the set.
Currently have 855 mercury points from 68/100 tourneys for high orbit.
and 76 venus points from 4

still fun

Now +$200 total in ~11 days.
First 7-card straight flush

downloaded the PT4 trial.

Looks like +$168.82 before fpp etc for O8 in July so far. 556 tournies. Over half the profit comes from ~200 $1.50/18s at a nice 32% roi or ~50 cents a game.
25k hands

good first set today. 24 tourneys +$61.84

PT4 helps

second set OK also
now +$294.78 in ~2 weeks. $125.96 of that is today.



nice upswing at the end

yesterday and today combined:

breakeveny today

month so far (thick green is money line)
