Going nicely!

So Febuary has been relatively kind to me so far. Up around $7k in cash games and put it decent volume (For me anyway!) and i hope to put in another 15k hands or so before March where im unlikely to be playing as much due to other commitments. Ive played mainly 1/2 HU and 6max with a couple of thousand 2/4 hands thrown in at weekends.Of the limited 2/4 ive played it would seem that the regs spew less at 2/4 than 1/2 and have a better awareness of there percieved image.Ive also managed to reach the 250k fpp $4k bonus along with the $250 milestone bonus although these will probably take another 6 weeks or so to clear.

Not much to report on the donkaments front.Min cashed the SM again and didnt pretty rubbish in the majors i played on softer sites.So the plans are if things go well to play more and more 2/4 and hopefully move up by April full-time provided its going ok. I'll also be moving to London around the 6th March time for a couple of months so im anticipating i won't be playin so much poker next month whilst sorting everything out whilst im considering playing a few GUKPT side events towards the end of March although im told the structure ain't the best.

Here are a few hands i have played recently.

Fairly deep villan was some crazy 84/30 maniac or something similar. Checked the turn to let him bet a random spade or protect a Q and was the easiest way of getting the money in since a ton of rivers could kill the action.

A high is the Nuts HU.

1/2 reg monkey spazzes out again.

Nearly folded this. Villan was 85/30 and just split up with his G/F apparently. Id seen hiim go crazy with TPNK so i felt i had to go with it FML.

Villan was a 2+2er and my plan was to c/c 3 streets since this type of player is always 4 betting AK and his combinations of KQ are significantly reduced since i hold 2x queens. Obviously sucks to call river to split but i doubt he values shoves 99-JJ and he almost never has a K or an 8. I think his preflop is bad 100bb deep on his behalf as we have zero history and i think betting the flop is pretty marginal but meh.

Top Banana!

Thought it was perhaps long overdue that i added a semi nude photo of a bird in this blog.

Poker wise ive had a really good start to Febuary. After a nasty downswing (briefly documented in previous blog post :p) Ive managed to turn it around and am up around $4k in cash games. This was obviously helped by a tilting guy at HU 1/2 who dumped me $1/2k in 120 hands! I managed to book a $2.5k win that day which was really fortunate straight after the crazy downswong.Since then ive been on a heater and this weekend i took a couple of shots at 2/4 6 max and managed to make 2bi's in 500 hands which was nice, so i will continue to take 2/4 shots at weekends until i feel more comfortable.

Ive also played few of donkaments this week mainly because of the FTOPS. Never really got anywhere in both short handed events. I did however manage to final table the $40k and ended up 7th for $1.8k ($75). Was dissapointed again going into the FT 2/9 but lost a biggish pot with AK V AJ which crippled me.Last night i only managed 1/11 cashes which was quite brutal although i epically min cashed the Sunday Million.All in all i can't complain much at a $6k week so let the heater continue imo!

Away from poker it looks like i will be moving to London with a mate from home who works in T.V for 8 weeks.Should be a good laugh and a nice change of scenery although i will have to put up with a few southern fairies! Im sure there will also be some good opportunties to play some good value live donkaments.

Here are a few hands from the week...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3834270. After looking at this hand im not 100% about my line. I only really beat KQ and i think bet bet bet/fold river is probably the best line.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3834279. Nothing much to say here other than i think the opponent was on crack at the time.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3834295. I let him use this line succesfully a hand earlier in session so was very confident he was FOS.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3834300.Turn my hand into a bluff only to find he has backdoor spades :S.This hand is very much Overkill though and i think a standard river bet as opposed to shove will be just as successful/ less expensive when i get my soul purged.

Downswonging!

Currently on a nasty 15bi downswing ($3k) and my online roll is down to $17k which is like the lowest in 6 months or so. Guna chill for a few days and get my head together. GG life!
