I've decided not to bother with cash for the time being, don't feel like it.
I load up a couple of $1 + $0.20, 6 player SnGs instead. Top three paid.
1st $3.00
2nd $1.80
3rd $1.20
1000 starting stacks, blinds 10/20, okay a bit short but manageable. Ridiculous rake, must be very tough to make money playing these. Start off pretty tight (fold the first couple of hands on both tables) and then my connection goes... brilliant. So i make a cup of tea until it magically returns.
When i get back in, there's already only five players left on both tables. Fairly typical i think to lose players very early on, full of nutters, could probably fold to the money most of the time. Would be a good experiment actually, eighteen-table these $1 SnGs for twenty hours a day and just leave them running. Find out if it's a winner or a loser. Well worth a try...
Anyway, get back in obviously below average but get dealt some cards and I'm suddenly chip leader on both tables. Get to four handed chip leader and i started playing a bit too tight i think. Still expected to win at least one. Get to heads up in one, no outdraws, no nothing, i push a 445 flop with 23, he calls with AK, good call, i miss, i lose. Very unspecial tourn.
Other one still three handed I'm big chip leader, blinds shooting up, i push the button with AQ, bb calls with AJ and flops a J to double up. Still chip leader, whittled bb back down to short stack, i push the button again with AQ, sb out of the way, bb calls with QT, flops a T and rivers another T to double up again. My kings hold up on a K high flop vs his A7 to double up and everyone about level again, i try to raise from the small with nowt and bb has none of it, over the top and I'm short stack. Next hand i push the button with A9cc and bb calls with A8. Flop is blank with the 4c, turn is 8c. Any 9, any club. River 4s and I'm out. Good laugh.
Money in: $2.40
Money out: $3.00
Number of games played: 2
Average profit per $1.20 buy in: $0.30
Will continue this experiment until i get bored. Don't think it'll last very long, do you?

Son,
ReplyDeleteI know you can make this happen mate, just make sure you play disciplined and don't play drunk
A month ago I had a bankroll of nothing. Now I'm waltzing around like a trillionaire playing NL$50 whilst pissed like now.
Let's try...world class.
Great blog mate, really enjoying it so far, it's great that everyone is getting into it at the moment. I remember I played cricket for about 26 years straight and my top score wasn't much more than 22 so you'll be playing for Warwickshire within a year at this rate
We should get a round of golf in soon, look up the municipal courses in your zone.
