So it was come the first day of my holiday I arose early to begin my attempt at earning a shilling on the virtual felt. Four tabling 25NL I decided was a sensible way to go to increase my chances of scoring a winning start given the proximity of my 50NL to breaking even.
It all started so well with me racking up a $40 win before breaking for breakfast. Some 5 hours later I shoved with AKs on a suited flop and was called by QJs and he spiked a Queen and I called it quits. Having turned into a mix of calling station and badly timed bluffs I had thrown away something in the region of 7 buy-ins and wasted an entire day. Having a high water mark of something like $480 in Poker Stars I had dropped down to $140. I tried again the next day and had to give up when my roll wouldn't allow me to play 4 tables of 25NL as I reached the bottom at $70.
Since then I decided to just play some recreational poker when I had the time and decided to enjoy my hols. With the occasional 4 (sometimes 5 and 6) tabling at 10NL I've scrabbled my roll up to $190. I've just about earned enough FPPs to allow me to buy a second fifty quid Amazon voucher for Crimbo.
So there we have it great plans up in smoke. Still I'm on my holly bags. I'm eating into my losses.
Down but not out.

you're still the king philberto, living life out on the wire. the rest of us are still trading our time for money...
that does sound like a serious blow up. i find two tabling is my max and even then i miss alot
as for my BR, its down down down worse than my Merrill Lynch shares. the slide from $500 has been very rapid and only slowed recently due to periods of not playing after getting tired of the relentless beatings.
along the way, have abandoned the low level sngs at $12 and $16 for the micro sngs at $2, $3 and $4. when that didn't work, moved to 5 cent/10 cent cash games with a $6 buy in, where i now reside along with my last 50 bucks.
how the mighty have fallen... dark days indeed
that said, i'm ready for another $1000 rebuy (any takers?) and a new poker strategy and plan for the new year. hope springs eternal. and one day i'll in the walk in the sun with a disciplined tight aggressive poker character.
hold on. didn't i say the same thing 12 months ago?
