Played three more poker sessions since the last post and I seem to have started the year like a freight train! I had a huge near miss yesterday when I was considering backing Dave Chisnell to win the BDO World Darts Final. If I could have managed to get better than Evens then I would certainly have lumped on massively but just couldn’t get that price.
Chisnell was stepping into uncharted waters but then again Adams is dodgy under pressure so the game looked like a coin flip. If I can get better than Evens on a coin flip then I am seriously interested but the bookies know it as well and there wasn’t value anywhere in my book.
Lucky I couldn’t get the price though seeing as Chisnell got chinned 7-5 although he was just one leg away from taking it to 6-6. So I had a close shave there but I laid Man Utd at Birmingham and that came up nicely as did two sessions of $200 PLO which ended up a combined $411 ahead. I also played some NL50 as well to try and get back into the feel of it for my proposed challenge this year and won a massive $34 so no complaints.
The year has also gone reasonably well with regards my stable of players that I am staking. Now reduced to a far more manageable and streamlined six, they are starting to repay the faith that I had in them. I suspected that 2010 would be a profitable if unspectacular year and the ten days seem to be following that trend.
I was almost scared away from playing PLO200 after hearing of some very good players who were merely recycling money at it. Although in all fairness they were playing on Full Tilt Poker which is a far tougher site even though it gets the player numbers. If you want to make consistent money in online poker then you are better off keeping it low and also off the big huge sites like FTP and Stars.
See you soon and take care
