The end of the month sessions

The last few days have caused lots of ups and downs. This included losing £50 Friday but getting a bonus to cover that. Winning £100 Saturday and then losing £75 Sunday. It has been all over the place lately. On Friday I couldn’t win a pot. I was all in twice with the dreaded AA against QQ and the KK losing both. I also lost a couple of other big pots with them to flopped sets.

Then on the 30th I needed to earn about 200 points on Littlewoods to get a £50 bonus. I got home late from work and thought it would take a good 3to 4 hours of play. Luckily they had about 10 games going so I got on 8 of them and that is when the fun started. All month I have been playing in the 100NL games and buying in for $50 so half the max on each table. Now normally I always like to buy in for the max especially in a live cash game so I can take somebody’s whole stack. However with playing 8 tables on the internet and not being able to give each one full concentration I think it the best strategy for me while I am getting used to it. It also helps when I can’t get away from a hand that I ONLY lose a bit. Another reason this helps is that it means I can play more games at once with less money on the website. I know that not the best Bankroll management but I’m willing to take it for a while I am building up on different sites.

Well in about 1 hour I have re-bought for $50 7 times on the various tables!! I couldn’t believe it. One guy playing a few tables as well actually wrote a note saying it was not my night!!! Normally if I feel I am not playing me best and it appears lady luck is not with me I will quit to re-group. However I still need to get some points for the bonus. Although this £50 bonus was nearly costing me £400!! Things then started to turn around a bit. It was funny but the guy who wrote the comment earlier about me luck was the only person I could win against for a while. I beat him out of 3 pots in a row on different tables flopping 2 sets and a straight. Then the other tables started to get better as well. One guy actually then wrote a note saying how lucky I was!!! That was after I stacked someone with QQ against his JJ aipf. He raised to 3 and he only had about 17 left. I thought I might as well re-raise to put him all in. Either he folds or hopefully my hand holds up.

So after all was said and done and I had earn’t the 200 points in 2 hours I started to cash out from the tables not really knowing how I had done. Some tables I now had over $150 on so I was hoping just to get out of there even. Well with the £50 bonus I actually finished up £25. So I only lost £25 ($50). Good times!!!
