Giving the finger to poker

Well poker in June has not been to great. A bad start... a partial recovery and then two days of disaster saw about a 2k loss... shocking, i'm almost embarrassed.

Off the poker table things have not been going much better either. The cut finger mentioned in the last post turned out to be a bit more serious than i thought and last monday I went into hospital for an operation to try and repair the nerve damage. Of course to do this they have to basically peel your finger like a banana.. so im sat here trying to type this on my right hand looking down at hand of Frankenstein to my left.

Fk this! It's time for a holiday. Few weeks in Spain is much needed!

Adios!

May Review

Started May with the best intentions to play low stakes HU for the entire month and see how much you could make... anyway after about a two of getting very bored and donking off a few hundred quid I got arsed off with low stakes HU. The £900 from the DTD win came in useful and gave a bit of a boost to the confidence. So much so that I went on a bit of a MTT rampage, playing 1 or two a day which is a lot for me. Within 10 days I racked up the following results...


Hills £1500 Gtd: 1st x 1, 2nd X 1, 4th x 2 , 7th x1 from 7 attempts.

Hills Sunday Super Series 1 x 4th from 2 attempts.

Plus a few others that I can't remember now. All this plus a return to the cash tables moved the early May losses into the green to show about £2500 profit by the close of play.


The Mrs desperately wants me to win a CPC package with Hills again this year. Hills are running a $40 Sat to the weekly $250 final so I'm trying to get in via there at the moment. I'm running pretty good and have not yet failed to qualify for the weeks where I've been able to play in it. I'm winning a $250 seat for every 2.5 times I play the sat at the moment so I may just keep playing them even after i win the seat and take the money :)

As i mentioned I've been playin a lot of cash at £1/2 and $1/2. It's amazing how much u can make at this level actually. I've been pretty comfortable playing 4 tables and racking up some rakeback and MPPs on Hills. See how it goes. At any given table there are 4 ROCKS and 1/2 nutters i think. I'm showing a decent + despite being over setted what seems at least once or twice a day. Having said that I had my usual nose dive at the beginning of the June and I'm once again in recovery mode.

On a social note we had a BBQ for Shell and Jacks birthday at weekend I was busy burning meat for 40 and managed to put the knife through my finger severing the nerve on my right index finger :) Happy days! The only good thing was that A&E at Warwick had me in and out in 30mins and by 7pm I was back on the brandy letting someone else take responsibility for the mass food poisoning.

Cheers,

Jim
