It’s been quite and amusing 10 days since my last post. A number of the regular players from £2/5 drop in here now and catch up on the blog. The last entry was a post about losing months and the damage they do to your average earnings, it was prompted by a losing week. Quite a few people have taken this as some indicator that all is not well at Wonky towers!! The bank roll can handle a losing week/month, but it does not mean I have to like it.
Advice has been flooding in from all corners (thanks by the way!) What has been so strange is the range of advice. I’ve been told to loosen up, I’ve been told to tighten up, I’ve been told to move up in stakes, I’ve been told to drop down in stakes! If there was a crisis at Wonky towers I don’t know if I’d be coming or going!?
This got me thinking of people’s perception of me and how I play. I’ve been getting a fair bit of ear ache at the tables (nothing really nasty, just comments) in the past month or two from various players, but again the range of abuse has been from both ends of the spectrum.
Take DavidJames who’s a regular on the £2/5 Crypto tables… it’s an apt name as he’s partial to the odd calamity. He’s constantly having a dig, I’m too tight, I’m easy to read, I’m sooo lucky , he's no idea how i ever wi a hand... when it comes to people like this then I’ll let the stats do the talking. The flip side of the coin is “OMG u fish!!” crew, again I get these comments all the time! So am I tighter than a gnats chuff or looser than a slappers knickers elastic?
Who knows? All I can say is that if I’m pissing people off to the point where they have to give me an ear full everytime I play them, I must be doing something right! ;)
Good Luck,
Jim

Turn the chat box off and ignore the idiots Jim - listen to the ipod instead mate. It is far more relaxing and better for your stress levels. You know you can beat the game long term, so no use beating yourself up over it.
Best of luck in Tallin if we don't speak before then.
If you take one piece of advice from me (or ignore it I won't hold it against you :)) leave the laptop at home so that you are not tempted to 'work' whilst you are away.
Play the live cash games there, enjoy your time and rekindle the feelings of why you fell in love with poker. You will come back hopefully refreshed and eager to get back into it then.
Wonky, If they are talking about you on the table you're getting on their TITS cos they cant break you, Keep the chat on and listen to your iPOD ;)

jim i play on betfair but do not have a rake back deal, i play £1/£2 and $2/$5 what would this be worth in rake per month if i played say 20-25 hours a week? or could i work it out from the MPP points i acrue? would it be even worth my while to get a deal?
cheers
Hi,
Yes its worth it. If you go to some of the big affiliate sites they have calculators to help you work out how much but on a half decent deal at the levels you describe I'd say you are looking at £500-£800 a month! Like I said do some research on the affilite sites.
GL,
Jim
