Well following on from Neteller's withdrawal the change in Hong Kong transferral to gambling sites means they won't process any transactions. Which means I now have a major problem transferring cash. I've emailed to find out if the restrictions are because my account is based on Hong Kong or because the transaction takes place in Hong Kong.
I'm hoping I can perhaps make a transfer when I go to Macau for the weekend or take a trip to Singapore or the Philippines or whatever.
As things stand I'll have to withdraw my funds from Neteller and make do with $1,300 odds I have on Stars. Bah, humbug.
As for my results this week having two good sessions earlier in the week I continued my form with a $100 win on Friday night. Saturday got off to a great start with me soon a further $70 to the good. Then disaster struck. A number of hands went against me and I lost $140. Sunday was more of the same. I decided to open one 50NL table in order to help me clear the $145 bonus I was tantalisngly close to getting. I played tight and was waiting for my moment. When the cards didn't come I decided to start making some moves expecting to command respect. I raised under the gun with JTs. Not normally a hand to play from there but I expected to take it down without any resistance. Not to be. Every single player called me. Perhaps putting me on AA and hoping for the chance to bust me. Flop comes T9x and giving me top pair. I don't want to risk getting raised so check-call. Its now heads up and the turn brings me an undercard and flush draw. I'm again given reasonable odds on the turn given my draw and I suspect I'm up against trips. The river blanks and I face a shove so I have to let it go. The same aggro player kept pounding on me with medium hands and I lost three pots around the $15-20 mark, to damage my otherwise good session. I eventually play back with some squeeze re-raises with nothing to claw some money back (and win only after a hefty c-bet) but kept facing the same problem of getting too many callers with my big pairs and getting my AQ type hands re-raised pre-flop by the button and having to let them go.
Maybe I should have just left the table as the standard seemed to be a lot better than 25NL.
My win-rate on my Desktop hovers between 4 and 5 PTBB/100 meaning I'm not making much of an inroad into bringing it to a level I'm happy with.
Despite a decent top-line improvement I'm disappointed with my earnings rate this week. Coupled with transferring money online difficulties I'd say a tad disappointing this week but now hanging ominously on the shoulder of Deadlydp as we move into the final quarter on both the live stakes and online.
