It’s been a while since I posted…. But I’ve not been doing too bad so I thought its about time I gave an update a la hawko ;) To be honest had my hands full with the little man. Hardly played a hand in the 1st few weeks of June and then started playing a little and showed a tidy £2k profit for not many hands played at all.
I’ve mainly been playing £1/2 NL … now not so long ago I’d have laughed at the idea of playing at these lowly limits, but I’ve quite enjoyed it! There’s always a choice of games, you invariably get paid with a hand, the average pots are not a million miles away from the ave pots on 2/5 (which is looking dead on crypto over the past month or so) and it’s populated with total muppets !
Towards the end of June I started to play a bit more and at the moment I’m trying to get at least 5000 hands a week in.
A few weeks ago the invite came through from BF to play in the WSOP 7k package freeroll. This was what I got for the aborted attempt to rake qualify for a full package on betfair. I had £0 in my BF account but logged on and was surprised to see only 12 people show up (from 31 invited) to play for 2 packages! I think the fact that the game was at 6:30pm and BF only gave us 24hrs notice had something to do with the poor show… but others loss is my gain. Perhaps I was a little hasty in condemning the BF account as a cursed account … cos I won the package. After discussion with BF I opted to take the cash as opposed to the trip and after shelling out £500 to 3rd after a 'bit of business' showed a nice profit of £3300 for 90mins effort.
A half decent few weeks on the cash tables to boot and my bare bones bank roll of £1k form a month or two ago is flying toward the £10k mark and I’ve hardly played! I’m trying to remember what all the fuss was about… maybe less is more .. who knows? Anyway I’m starting to enjoy it again and considering what to do next. Also managed a minor cash at duff home game last week… Nice to meet all the BF forum nutters.
BF have finally got their act together and put together a competitive GROSS rake package… I think this puts them at the front of the pack now. Just hope the room split from crypto does not destroy the player equity of both sites. I think I’m going to give the cursed account another shot.
BF have also launched a team rake promo for the Betfair Asian Poker Tour… If any BF high rakers fancy teaming up then let me know sooner rather than later.
Cheers,
Jim
