Sporadic

Well it's becoming a pretty sporadic updating of the blog these days but was feeling a bit nostalgic so I thought I'd get those fingers-a-busy.

I've upgraded my whole online poker playing set-up. I installed Poker Tracker 3 and copied my database across from my Desktop. Unfortunately the old laptop hard drive had to be replaced so I missed the opportunity to merge in the better half of my stats to the combined database.

A pretty cool set-up for Poker Tracker...lots of data just a click away. I continue to run at US$10 an hour at the moment for 2009. I've got various options to increase that number other than the obvious ones of play better and run hotter.

First is to increase my multi-tabling. I'm averaging 3.68 tables at the moment so I'd need to add a second screen which is a possibility as I can only fit 4 tables comfortably with stats on my new laptop despite the bigger screen.

Second is to move back up to 50NL but I believe at Stars this may result in a lower BB/100 but with a similar win-rate and bigger swings. I think a softer site will make the transition a bit easier.

I think the major win-rate boost I need to line-up is a rake-back deal. If I can manage to play1,500 hands a day at 50NL rake-calculators seem to be putting a figure of US$1,000 a month.

First things first though I have to get on the phone and sort out my Neteller account and ensure I can move money around freely again.

Moving to a softer site than Poker Stars I hope could well up by win-rate by 30%.

I believe there is a $250 bonus available at Stars though so I think I’ll use that for my swan song for now while I’m choosing the best site – if I can sort out Neteller, meh.
