This will be my last update before the end of the month report lets hope I end it in profit.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Bankroll is at: 29,669

Now in bb terms i'm actually up around 30 stacks overall including on my p.c. so its extra annoying, as for the higher stakes games i'm only playing juicy spots.

But there's only certain things we can control so i will hav to take it as it is and keep moving forward.

Almost all play this week was against regs at nl200 but i did have 3 big matches with fish at 3/6 deep on fulltilt and 5/10 on stars i lost all 3.

Lets see how the month ends.

The basic premise i can see is to play a GTO style but as with all forms of poker (especially with a no limit betting structure,) im sure i can formulate a few counter strategies to ween out an edge.

I doubt you can find a significant edge vs a good GTO style tbh. :f_biggrin: But probably nobody at these stakes is very close to GTO so yeah you can probably find some spots.

I'm surprised you manage to play regs this often. Whenever I check HU lobbies, it looks so dead.

Hi! Nice to see you making a comeback.

How long do we intend to keep this stake going, by the way?

Well i wanted to be staked until i could comfortably roll myself on these sites myself for the same stakes.

no time frame but you can drop out at the end of any month and I can look for replacements no problem.

Bankroll: $29790.78

Shame i couldnt quite make it into the green that would be due to a session on 5/10 at fulltilt poker in which i lost 4k to a pretty bad player. I still dont really have a sample size at 5/10 or 3/6 and the level of competition i'm playing there is generally a lot worse than on the other stakes so i hope this next month it will turn around decently for me.

on the plus side i have been getting decent volume in even with the shitty laptop i've had to use, its a shame i cant play on pkr though...

my plan for this month is a little different than the last purely because i need to start making money at somepoint...

Although i'm now living at my parents house because of my back and have very little outgoings just the rent for my house in brighton and council tax it'd be a good idea to start generating profit rather than tap into what was meant to be my bankroll (unfortunately i cant play on sites i play with such as partypoker/ipoker because my laptop is too slow..)

So my plan is as follows.

0-5k profit bumhunt only
5-10k profit play regs nl200 only
10-15k profit play regs nl400/200
15k+ play regs up to nl600

It's not something i usually do but then again I havn't had a 2 or maybe 3? month stretch where i havent generated any income before and dont really want to extend it to another month.

there is a possibility that i will have back surgery sometime during this month so the overall volume may be a little lower will see what happens...

Hi James,
I'm afraid I have to bow out of the stake as I need the money elsewhere. We'll talk on skype or via PM.

Thanks,
- Petteri

ok soo...

This week i started off by trying to bumhunt on stars and fulltilt which led to me playing 12 hands on the first day even though i was waiting for around 8 hours.

I decided to check out pkr the only problem was my laptop is too slow to have a hud.

I ended up playing a mixture of pkr regs at headsup because tbh if they sat me on stars i'd consider them fish + 6max games when the tables filled out.

As you know i don't claim to know much about 6max but i seem to do ok aslong as i keep tables low 4 tabling max.

I guess i'll continue on pkr for the rest of the month..

Not really getting any headsup action on pkr anymore so the majority of the weeks play was 6max.

There is only 1 reg on the site now that will play but he only plays 5/10 i'm pretty sure i have a 5+bb/100 edge against him due to some preflop leaks he has so will be playing him until he stops or i lose 10 bi (10k) unless backers express otherwise.

I've been watching some 6max videos to get a better grasp of how to play in multiway pots/ earlier positions but i'm finding it hard because generally i havnt been agreeing with what the coach is saying also most of the talk is based on hud stats which during play i simply dont have because my laptop is too poo.

I guess i'll get a new one at the end of the month..

trying to get bith comupters i've been using to put a graph up for the stake i'll have it done asap.

Until then i can say we are break even for the week although alot of hands were played. I think i ran pretty badly this week...

edit the pc i've been using has decided that it wont even start up i'm going to have to get a man over to sort it out so until then i will give rough idea of how it is going.

today i will be playing comps on pokerstars with friends round mine i will be depositing whatever i spend on there before the tournaments begin and will let you guys know which ones i played once i know what time were all starting.

I may also play on fulltilt poker although im not yet sure.

If anyone has problems with this speak asap on here and if you do have a problem with it but dont find out before i've started I can happily show transaction histories.

I doubt you guys would want any of my action its going to be friendly atmosphere with drinking involved so not the most +ev environment.

As for the stake we are at around 28k profit total. i'm still waiting on my main pc to be fixed so i can post a full graph of profits

I would like all backers to also say how they would like to collect profits so i can get the $'s onto the correct sites for quick and easy transfers.

The options are fulltilt, pokerstars and neteller.
