I'm BACK

Well its only been a year. I cant believe its been that long. I just checked the date of the last post and it was last July. From now on hopefully it wont be that long before I post again.

Well a lot has happened since then. I have played a bit of poker online and live. I had my biggest cash in a tournament in February. I had some hols from work and went to Vegas for a week. The Venetian deepstack was on and I wanted to at least try one tourney. I did want to pony up the $330 to buy in direct so I entered a few satellites. The event I wanted to play started at 12. I entered my last sat at 11am and finally won a seat. In the end I paid enough in the sat to buy in to the comp but who cares. The tourney started and I played the best poker I can remember for the next 16 hours. We stopped when we got down to 9 till the next day and I was 2nd in chips. The next day we came back played one hand and then everyone decided to chop it based on the chip counts. I ended up with just over $12,000 and was very pleased. Although I am still trying to get an ITIN number to get some cash back that was withheld.

Online I have just played little bits. This month to try and get back into playing more I decided to take all my BR on fulltilt and try to spin it up playing just SnG using some guidelines in order not to go broke. some of the other blogs I have read have done similar and it sounded like a good challenge.

Similar to other I will only play
MTT buyin no greater than 2% of my BR
SnG no greater than 5% of my BR.

Since the 3rd June I have played:

All is going well so far. I have been playing mostly 45 and 90 man sng on fulltilt.
