In London now. Will probs grind cash at the Vic mostly but am gonna play the dtd 300. I'm lazy so am considering the online day. Anyone play it last time? Way worse value?

Didnt play live tonight, staying at my friends house and just kinda chilled out. They started all grinding online and while i didnt feel like putting a massive session in on Stars, i felt like playing a bit. So i fired up Sky poker and grinded 4 tables of .50/1. Quite like the site for casual playing, but is too tilting for mass multitabling and playing all the time imo. So just finished playing, made £537 in 2 hours ish.

2 more days to get out of my now quite small hole, depends if i can be bothered to play tomorrow or thurs!

Hah i'm at my dad's for a bit now. Might not get much play in today, doubt i'll be going to the Vic.

Just been spending time with my dad yesterday/today so far, i played a v small session on Sky last night, played awful and lost about £180 v quickly so just quit. Ready to just start a fresh month from tomorrow and really focus again. Feb has been really rubbish, have run awful overall, and played my c game at best for most of it.

Results are, Online= Lost $3754 after rb. Live= Won £2031

I make that a loss of $672/£442. The way things were a couple of weeks ago this is actually an acceptable result. But still really disappointed with myself with how i have played and handled my downswing. Hopefully i learn something from this and don't just take it for granted that i will make at least mid 4 figures each month. I'm going to take a break from the zoom games and try playing the normal games when i go back on stars. I think i can achieve a significantly higher winrate with good game selection and can focus a bit more on playing my best and moving up to 400/600nl eventually. See how things go anyway, i might change my mind again if i dont feel like its working. I'm still roughly on pace for 600k vpps for the year, having got close to 90k vpps already, which is decent.

Lets hope March is a good one! Plan is to bink the UKIPT London and then roll around in all my cash

Am going to play the DTD300 online tonight btw. Good luck to any other Blondes playing!

I came back to Reading on Fri, i played normal games on stars for 2 hours, trying to game select and found it hard to get used to, is quite a bit more work than just sitting down and clicking on zoom and then it does it all for you. I also had some cashier issues meaning i was only able to 12 table, which tilted me so i decided to go and play live at the local casino.

Its a pretty small Grosvenor casino and isnt really a great playing experience. There is only 2 poker tables there, the dealers are all pretty slow, make mistakes, dont know the rules etcetc. The rake is also higher than normal, its 5% capped at £15 for a 1/2 game. BUT the games are usually pretty good, i have never ever seen anyone who has a clue what they are doing so its a good place to just go and play for a few hrs and make a couple of buy ins. I played for 4 hours and made £555.

On sat i felt like playing live again so went to the local Genting casino for a £100 fo. It got like 61 runners which is pretty decent for Reading and i came 4th for £547. I was massive CL with 5 left so this was pretty disappointing, but not much i could do about it, everyone was playing really nitty so i kept putting the pressure on but they kept finding the nuts every hand. GG me.

Been feeling quite ill today so no grind at all. Watched Arsenal lose to Spurs which lowered morale a great deal (Arsenal fan obv) and then played the Sunday Million. Ran up a decent stack earlyish, but couldnt hold on to it when we got to last 12k runners or so. Jammed 18bbs in HJ with 55 and AK called in the sb and we lose.

So overall i guess its a reasonably successful first few days of the month, £988 profit live and a $130 loss online. Theres a new G casino opening in Reading tomorrow so gonna go get rly drunk with some mates and rofl about in the £30fo. The way im running live atm i'll probs ship it somehow anyways.

Can definitely vouch for this. Couldn't believe how poor the standard of dealing was there. We honestly have a better grasp of it at our self dealt games at the local bowling alley!

I can see why you go there though as some of the things going on there were pretty unbelievable... I saw a guy 5bet jam for value on a board with and couldn't believe his eyes when the other guy actually had the  

Was good meeting you anyway bud and you'll have to let me know what the new Grosvenor is like as i'm sure i'll be back down before too long!
