All last month's profits have been removed from Neteller and safely tucked into my bank account and are going to be spent on a nice little family holiday and baby gear for our arrival in October. The reason i have done this, is that i need to refocus, play sensibly, play correctly and take poker step by step, one amazing month doesn't make me the world's greatest! So the $1000 man is back, yes thats my roll, and hopefully i'll be able to increase it, by taking advantages of rake races, rakeback and hopefully some winnings starting at PLO20 again! I need to keep my old schedule from a few weeks back and not go overboard, need to keep fresh and play how i was a few weeks back. Last month is totally forgotten its time to get back to ABC poker and do it right! No high expectations, no dreams of grinding with the big boys as soon as possible, just enjoy and hopefully do ok and make a steady profit!
Bankroll: $1000
April Targets: Be in Profit from actual playing, $400 in rakeback and rakerace payouts.

I am Isildur!!!!
After last nights rant post i'm taking a few days off from the poker cash grind and will be donking about in some SNG's on FTP, maybe even a MTT or two. Have deposited some $'s on Bodog also, now dont flame me, i know its rubbish, but i spotted on my rakeback site it has a $5k race and so far this month i have a whopping $17 rake to beat to get first place for a $1k payout ........lol free money! There is only two people on the leaderboard, so i'm expecting a decent bonus at the end of the month, suprised no one else has spotted it. Beginning to like these rake races and they certainly help to boost the old bankroll!
Feeling better about poker now, GL at the tables!

More shit!
Just dropped another load of buyins to complete donks pushing their chips all in pre with crap like 33,5,7 if they dont hit str's they hit trips etc, total bull shit, nearly everyhand the clowns hit their flushes on the turn against my sets, straights when we get it all in, totally wank, a bit like this blog and 100% like this rant blog. Cashed my roll out of Ipoker and unsure if i will play poker again, been informed it takes 48hrs withdrawel from Ipoker .........lol shitsiteaments!!! Made decent cash last month playing steady stakes but as its going now i may just hit and run and take another massive break, and sPend the profits on family! Not that people read this blog much, so if i dont post again, GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
Everybody hates me!
Every site i play hates me (well thats how i feel!) Left Betsafe and moved to a Ipoker skin with VIP status a $500 deposit bonus, cashback and some free Mtt buyins. Shame the site hates me........poker gods really are crapping on me lately! Only good thing about playing the site is that there's hardly anyone in the rake race and 1st place pays out $3k a month, going on what i used to grind on Powerpoker i think i can make top 3 and earn myself over $2k bonus.........will need it if i keep running like this! Yet to make a profit this week, times are hard, i hate poker!!!

Goodbye................
Goodbye Ongame it was shit playing you, and all your euro donks that you continued to keep in the game by letting them hit 2 outers everytime i got my money in good! Somehow i managed to scrap a $450 profit on the site during my short time on it, but if my hands had held i think it would of been triple that, probably the worst PLO run of my life, i just couldn't get the donks to fold or more importantly get my hands to hold when i was a 60-75% fav on the flop! Ongame must use the same RNG as Stars as i run bad on there the very few times i play it! Off to Ipoker skin and see how i fair on there, if no real success i'm off back to Powerpoker and staying there!

First play of the month!
Havent played for 3 days as i was away at a wedding, staying at a lovely 4 star hotel, and had a good piss up, game of golf (first in 6 years) which i actually played like Tiger and ended up winning, and fun times all around plus nice food, was a nice poker break. Returned to the felt tonight to grind it out and try complete this dam bonus and get off this dam Ongame network, as i hate it and more importanlty it hates me, totally not enjoying playing it at all! Just can't have a decent winning session grinding low stakes, always having to jump up levels to make up losses, as what happened tonight. So annoying as the standard is dam pitifull, oh well i'm there till my bonus is achieved then off as fast as i can, not sure which site/network to try next pretty sure it wont be Ongame, unless i start to run normal on it, maybe its just a bad streak in variance, but its affecting my confidence more and more! Weird how i run bad at PLO25 but run like god at PLO50 and above on the same site, maybe i'm trying to hard to score at PLO25!
Good luck to any readers i may have! (Unless your playing PLO on Ongame!)

March Review and April Goals!
Well heres my review for March's play (may aswell include the few days of Feb i played)
I've solely concentrated on PLO cash, i think its my best way of making money at poker, it fits in to my schedule, its keeps me motivated, and i believe i can win at it at any stakes under $2/4.
I've played alot of it on Powerpoker, some on Full Tilt and recently bonus whoring on Betsafe(Ongame) and i've been a winner on all the sites i've played. I have real hot patches, some dodgy break even sessions and some super hot tilt spin ups were i have won big.
Starting roll : $1000
Profit per site
Full Tilt : $1011
Powerpoker : $2976
Betsafe : $495
Rakeback + Bonuses : $784
Total Profit : $5266 (including 8 days from Feb)
So basically i've crushed low stakes PLO and i will continue to grind the low stakes again in April, i'm removing $1266 from my roll to spend on the family, whats the point of putting in the grind and getting nothing to show for it, also means if i go busto i havent lost anything since i only started with $1k, so theres no playing with scared money.
So April begins with $5k roll and i'll continue to clear my bonus on Betsafe ($500) then jump to another skin and repeat, should be able to clear the two bonuses by end of April giving me $1k for nothing, hopefully i can at least break even. I have $250 heading my way from Powerpoker race, should of been more but i stopped playing PP for the last 5 days, i should make Betsafe race leaderboard for a similar bonus in April, if i'm somewhere near the top i may see the whole of April out on Betsafe and go for a decent race bonus, but we'll see.
I will be staying away from the big sites as i see no advantage of playing them at all, to many sharks on both Stars and Tilt even at the low levels i play. prefer to catch the weaker players who are experimenting/ playing on tilt/ or just plain bad on the smaller sites, plus the bonuses and rakeback are far greater, shame some of the software/support lets them down, but i'm BR building and i need all the extra $'s i can get! I cant see me having another month like March, it would be nice, but i doubt it, but i'm looking to have a $10k roll at least by the end of the year!
GL at the tables in April! Loved this guy when i first started playing years ago!
