Analyse
Good news at last for my loyal reader (Hi LJ!).
Finally going busto on all my online sites (barring a sliver of rakeback possibly) means a blessed end to bad beat posts (yeah right) and a commitment to effectively start from scratch when I redeposit next month.
I could redeposit right now of course, but with 16 days of Wimbledon looming, followed by a few days of athletics and The Open at Turnberry, there really isn't much point.
I've belatedly realised I've never really adhered to proper bankroll requirements, simply depositing randomly when required and refusing to grind it out at the appropriate levels.
So the plan is to finally do so when my work schedule allows, and then I'll be looking to fully pick the brains of the good players on +1 (better warn Kevin for me LJ :)) to improve my NL game in particular.
Edit: Just thought this hand was funny and summed up Stars perfectly. KK plays hit horribly, but love J2 getting there on turn, and then the gutshot on river as well :)

Typical me, typical me, typical me....
...I started something, and now I'm not too sure.
As soon as I blog about being up $300 on FT I have my worst losing session there since returning. Playing such low stakes I hadn't been losing or winning that much per session but a couple of days ago I dropped around $250 in one hit.
In a HU hand of PLO I paid off the nut flush with the second nut flush when we both flopped it - not sure how bad that was, although he did basically fire 3 barrels and I don't know how many low-limit donks would do that without the nuts??? - and on my other tables seemed to have one of those days when I missed absolutely everything; either whiffed the flop completely or flopped a huge draw then missed the turn and river.
Only pleasing thing was managing not to tilt for once ;) and I returned tonight to win a big chunk of it back.
After busting out of an MTT early in a 4-way all-in pot for the monster chip lead - my 66 v QQ v Ac4c and 8c9c on 9c6c4h flop (club on river obv) - I switched from PLO to PLO8 and caught a beauty.
I have Ax99 in a raised 3-way pot. Flop is 983. It goes check, bet and I think of raising here but call to rope along the dope in the SB with a low looking likely.
Turn is a beautiful 3 and it's again check, bet and this time I shove. SB calls with A234 and donk who has been pushing the action calls with some crap like A4xx, drawing dead.
I'm shouting at the computer for a Q but happily take a K instead and scoop a $240 pot. Let's hope there is more to come.
