Week 27
I did OK in the 5 satties I played, cashing in a couple of the UK25s to get my tourney graph for the year back above zero. My ROI over 219 timbeys is a rather pathetic 1.55%.
Ticket roll is currently on 1041 euros. The (hyper-)turbo UK25s continue to be one of the stupidest games on the internet.
The bubble in that game finally burst when QT and QQ were beaten by 72o.
[ ] Skill game.
I tried out Banzai (push-fold) Omaha on Uni, as there was a ticket giveaway in the 2+2 thread. That was a stupid game as well. My 3 euros lasted exactly 100 hands, but I only swore about 15 times, so I must have had at least 10 minutes of rungood.
I didn't play much on Stars as I was a bit dumbfounded by the confusing new rewards scheme. I haven't put in enough volume yet to get a good idea of my rakeback rate (it seems to vary massively but randomly) but it seems like it's only worth me playing there when the "boost" (double points) is on, so I'll probably only play about 200 hands a day in future, just doing Card Match and then quitting.
FWIW, I lost a BI and a half in 1000 hands at 5NLz, but tilt-moved up to 10NLz on Sunday night and quickly got $4 back in redline winnings. I'm not very happy with my play, and neither is Snowie. Over about 5k hands, my error rate was around 10, which is pretty ****ing bad. I should probably put in some more study time, but my biggest problem is discipline at the tables. The unbalanced nitregs really piss me off, especially when they slowplay their monsters. I can't wait to leave the 5NLz nitregs behind, but I don't have a lot of cash on Stars, so can't really afford to move up yet.
I'm about halfway through Matt Janda's new book. I don't think I've learned much from it, but it's truly excellent, and much more readable than his first effort.
It will be very low volume this week, as I have various appointments to attend to and I'm probably visiting family later in the week. I should settle back into the grind later in the month. #PingItUp
