Monkey Business

Life has been very busy lately and I have decided not to whine on about it, rather with a few hours spare tonight my plan is to deposit a whole £12 ($16 dollars) and have a crack at doubling it!
Which way I go with it is my dilemma. Should I play tournaments or open a couple of cash tables up??
My game lately has been pretty awful and verging on embracing at times The biggest reason behind this being that I don't pay attention to what is going on, my games are normally surrounded with talking to others and general background distractions.
My whole life I have been easily distracted and balancing this sometimes can be a nightmare. Taking on too much is definitely a personal leak of mine and results in taking longer to get certain jobs done! In Cornwall there is a saying for this, 'I will do it drekley!'

So my plan for the next few months while waiting for the sale to go through is to put aside time for poker. One more shot on stars Another go to win it big with their daily challenges and maybe win more star coins than you can shake a stick at from those mysterous chests!

It would be nice also to be better with 8-Game by the end of the next few months! Many thanks to Vorpal for suggesting we host some games in the Players Club. I have tuned into your Twich channel but wasn't able to hear your advise the first few matches as I had no sound on my end, but I must have looked a bit crazy when it came to Razz and Stud! But tonight I have headphones and have looked at the dumbies guide to both formats

Big thank you also to pokerplayernumber1 for his support in helping me out and I look forward to our game tonight.

taking on too much is definitely a personal leak of mine

Exactly the same here!

Hi metalmonkey80,

Yw, how it's going?
Did you chose cash games or tournaments?

Gl:f_drink:

It seems like a long time since I last updated my blog. There has been a lot going on since my last update. But doesn't seem to be much progress

Poker wise, I am still dabbling on the tables with a very limited BR and equally limited progression. I did though have a boost from the Deal which always helps

This would have to be the most I have ever won so far in this quirky little game. Hopefully next time I get a chest I will have a better run and win the lot!!
I did take advantage of a second starting capital on Corel and have had limited success. Well I lost the BR after a continuous bad beat marathon. At the moment all I do is log on for the daily ticket and free roll. Hopefully I can resurrect this bank roll over the next month.

Off the tables I am still house hunting. Have gone to see a few now and like my poker life, everything is great until the river card! So many nice places I could have but there is always something that ruins the deal. The most annoying part of it being facts that are never stated until you have gone to the property and wasted a good day finding them out.

The biggest reason for selling up and moving is for health and a nicer city that hasn't been ruined by local incompetent councillors and politicians purposely devaluing the area.
In a way their are many reasons to sell up and get the F*** out of dodge. I still have a few properties on the list and look forward to finding that special one! There is one which would suite every box I have. But It is just out of the budget It comes with a swimming pool, sauna and steam room. 5 bedrooms and located in a nice area. This would be ideal but I would have to try and win the Sunday million to make it achiveable

My plan for the next few days while the weather is good and everyone is off for bank holiday are to play a few tounaments and home games. hopefully I can report some fantastic news in my next update.

Untill then, very good luck at the tables

So decided to have another crack at the challenge. This time starting from the bottom with $20 and a first goal of $100
Hopefully this time I can achieve it!
My choice of weapon is No Limit cash beginning on the 1c/2c tables. My choice of style is The Sniper. Taking out pots with only the best of the best And sometimes missing, but hopefully not to often

metalmonkey80, good luck..:f_drink:

Welcome in the challenge! ♠_drink: So, you´re a cash-player now. Will you give up tournament play completely? ♠_frown:

BR: 16.44

Last couple of days I have been 4 tabling 1c/2c tables full ring and done around 500 and per session. In a nutshell it's been comparable to taking a few months of work and then your first day back being the worst day of your work life ever.

At the end of the first few days I am down a modest 2 buy ins after a fantastic fight involving some really crazy cracks.
Unfortunately the email account to which my HM2 is registered no longer exists and I cant get my licence, which mean I haven't been able to give you a good solid graph and stats.

So with that in mind I have recorded some of the action to post later for you. Overall I am not too disappointed and will get use to the trigger happy all in drunks you find at these levels.

Hi Tara771, thanks for dropping by and I look forward to reading how you get on in your challenge Keep crushing those tablings and good luck

Hi Primrose. Will I be giving up on tournament play completely?

Spoiler

When ever I can my plan is to continue my pursuit for 1st place in the daily dollar rebuy. Its a really easy game to manage with 10 min blinds along with the small field and I have had more cashes in this game than any of the Bigs or KO. I shall keep you posted on how I get on with that.

Off the tables the search for the ideal house is starting to get interesting and I believe that I have found the one and if my negotiations go well next week hopefully I can marry up moving in with completion, which is not long.

Yaaaaaay, cool to read that you stay in the tournament-poker-player-club anyway! ♠_drink:♠_thumbsup:

The Big 1.10 $, the Big 0,55 $ and the Hot 0,55 $ are really cool! Or those 1.10 $ and 0,50 $ Bounty Builder PKOs! Those I can recommend, they are really FUN!!!!

The Hot 2.20 $ is also cool, but not yet for you (but soon?).

Thanks for the reminder Prim I will try some over the next few days. Today though hasn't been +EV and I have struggled to make any progress on cash. I am still in the daily dollar but dragging my feet through it and hopefully I can come back soon with better news.

Also just got one of these boxes!! Wonder what's in it??
