Poker UpdateI really have not been to impressed with poker this year one bit.The last 8 months I have run like dirt and the last 4 months I have run like dirt and played bad also making my downswing even worse.
I was in need of a change of pace so made the decision to try out a Euro poker site.I'm only playing low stakes for a few reasons;
1: I only had £1,149 BR in my E-Wallet account
2:I think I need to work my way back up through the levels
3:By doing #2 I feel I'm only going to improve my re-adjusting skills
I have mainly played 25/50(50nl) mixtures of EUR/GBP tables.
Obvious this is higher than the equivalent USD tables but it is really low for a Mid-Stakes-NL player.
I'm trying to follow a 20 BI rule and take 5 BI shots at the next level until/if I reach 5/10 and then just take 3 BI shots.
I feel all of the above is good for me at this time as I need some focus/structure because my mind has not been in the best of tune towards poker.
Here is my graph so far at the site(about 3/4 days last month of play also) I think I'm doing fairly good after running around 7.5 BI under All-In EV so far.I'm really impressed with my non showdown winnings-(red line) but I think this may be because 75% of the hands are HU
Dusk Till DawnLast night me and a friend visited Dusk-Till-Dawn at Nottingham.The night was very slow and I booked a losing session at 50/1 GBP -£19
I was pretty cold all night for 3hrs play I got bottom set in on flop vs nut straight and 50BBs effective got dealt AJo as my highest ace which was a fold preflop due to action preflop and just got a bunch of trash hands with no potential.
Only intresing hand was where I 3bet the CO with 6d-7d on the BTTN.Everybody folds CO calls.

"I think you have a 6 but I call"
I'd double barrowed him off a hand earlier and showed a total air ball :) Plus I know he has to snap this as he thinks I'm trying to take the chop away.I think he has to be right about 3.85 times to break even/slight profit on the call.Guess he didn't add this in his decision to call.

Poker gods please let me run just normal,or if you find it in your heart of hearts slightly warm would be appreciated
I really feel lame and dirty.I just wired the last of my USD BR into my account so I really don't know what to make of poker as the above graph is the last of my poker monies BR in GBP.I ran it up to 20 BI for 50/1EUR and just ran bad and seem to continue getting raped at 25/50EUR.
