Both monetary and play wise.

If anyone is kind enough to actually read this I play as gollyheck on Stars and have done with varying volume since 2008.

During the last mtt break in a fit of apathy/sadness/disappointment/anger I withdrew the majority of the money I had online on PokerStars leaving me with a grand total of $220.63 and 17,584.67 fpps and I am still playing two small tournaments.

This is due to a combination of disappointment with the direction Stars is taking (increased rake, introducing casino games etc etc), decreased interest in the game itself and also wanting to buy a new car.

This isn't really a goal or a challenge thread per se but I have every intention of using my meagre remaining resources to make some more money and it might be somewhat entertaining if it somehow trends upwards. I did a mass withdrawal earlier in the year and was left with around $20, the next day I one tabled the Big 11 to 5th place at work which would probably have been a more entertaining story but hopefully something fun happens this time too.

I don't plan on adhering to particularly strict bankroll management but will likely play zoom cash, satellites and smaller stakes mtts, may even get back to my roots and play the odd 4/180 haha, until the money is gone.

I am hopeful that will become a very common sentiment.

I realise there is some irony in saying this and continuing to play at all but I am not taking it very seriously or contributing anywhere near as much rake as in the past.

Played some cash (Z10)



Wish I could package that red line from the first 1000 hands, although I suspect it was just my opponents folding to my value hands far too often.
I always like playing cash indepenent of results. Not sure why I hardly ever play it.

Bit more Charlie today gonna be rich:



Had one funny hand where UTG limps, folds to me in SB with QQ I raise to 4x, limper limp/raises to 10x.

I type in chat "lol, AA chop? Save rake."

Board come 224r, x/x
turn 6 x/x
river 8 x/x

He has KK.

I wonder if he ever folds to bets, pretty doubtful imo.

Used my last fpps to buy into the Big 11. Got 41st. So close to an epic story.

Forgot about this thread. Made a little in cash, some smaller tournament wins, hovered around $500 for a while. Won a satellite to the Nightly $162 a couple of weeks ago and got third for $4500 so that was cool cashed a bunch of that out though.

So re the title...I guess you recovered from your wee mid life crisis there and it's business as usual?
