Recent Results etc.

Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

so thats results since mid september till november.

basically ran bad, then ran a bit better, then ran awful(worst ive ever run)

Green line is profit, red line is adjusted profit(if luck was average) blue line is profit+rakeback/bonuses.

so money wise it hasnt been so bad, just such a sick swing it really messes with your mind/game.

Alot of it was super turbos so i guess i should've expected the swings, but whatever.

I'm back to playing regular turbos now and its going better, ill try to post more again once i get a decent sample back at them, also been talking/reviewing/studying alot with leoc00, who is one of the best players around, so hoping its going to improve my game alot, want to be back playing the 200s by the end of the year :)

Off poker; im up to 19 stone 5 lbs now, which is 124KG/270lbs ish. I think im around 19-21% bodyfat but i cant be sure, it feels about right but im not too bothered considering i am bulking and not worrying about looking lean or anything, just want to put on some more size ready for next year when i start my cut in february.

Im considering putting pictures on the blog to keep track/progress, but im not sure everyone would appreiciate naked pictures( have my boxers on obv) :) If anyone objects just post on this post and i wont do it :]

ID49 if your reading this stop running so good vs me :] 0/5 HU with him today, pretty sure it was 2 coolers and 3 70-80% favourites each time also : [

Huge Lack of updates

Hey, so i havent written much, or actually anything atall the past couple of months.
sorry for that :]
anyway so ima hopefully start updating again, starting with an end of october results post, just basically a post showing how pokers being going recently etc.

moved to a new house, living in llandaff now in a detatched house, its pretty sweet, alot better than living in a flat.

thats it i guess :] will try to post more in next couple of posts x

General update + graphs/pics

Hey, i really need to start posting more on a regular basis to just get my thoughts out and also to keep everyone updated on how im doing, people are on about it to me all the time and i just say yeh im going to post soon lol.

Ok first of all, i bought a new car finally and dont have to drive around in my saxo lol.

Its a BMW 320d SE, and i love it, its such a pleasure to drive; i had a hard choice deciding what car to buy, it was out of an audi a4, audi TT and something like the one i got.

Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

it works out as around 60-70$/hour, then bonuses on top so its pretty good.

Im actually working with one of the best FR NLHE players at the moment; WCGrider, im playing nl200 with him and i can see my game getting better by the day, and i hope i can beat the 200 level just as easy as the 100 level in no time atall and think about moving up in the future where the real money is to be made.

Umm i guess thats about it.

Sick long delayed update

basically i've been running like shit online, and i didnt feel like talking about it especially as it was still happening.

All in all im only down about 4-5k$, and i ran something like 8k down below in EV, so basically ran worse than i ever thought possible.

I've decided to stop playing SNGs for the time being; that said i will still be coaching for SNGs as i feel i am a big help to anyone who wants to get very good at SNGs. I will be focusing on my Omaha cash game from now, im playing PL100 to start and its going fine, ive been mixing in some MTTs too which are kinda worse than SNGs in terms of variance, but overall more fun.

Life; i went to nottingham in march for a tournament i qualified for last year and came 12th out of 300, kinda sucked. I played the cash games up there and finished a few hundred up tho, the experience was fun and the place is really amazing. Talking about live games, i've been going up to my local casino late nights to play some 4-6 card Omaha games, which im prob about 500 up so far over about 15 hours of play or something.

SO basically, ill be posting alot more from now on and hopefully i can keep everyone reading again, i still get hits to the site and i havent posted in 2-3 months so hopefully this will do, until i post again.

Im having so much fun learning + playing omaha atm, and its paying off, i feel myself getting better at the game everyday, and i have a good mentor available to me on msn who plays 5/10 10/20 omaha, he has defo helped my game alot.

Ok so ill post new updates in a couple of days or a week once i have some more hands @ PL100 logged so i can post some results/hands/views etc.

Long awaited update.

hey, sorry havent been posting much over xmas/new years area etc, standard stuff.

so poker,i slacked a bit over xmas /new year obv, but now picking it up again. Im playing some Pot Limit Omaha now too, also getting coached by a friend who is a pretty sick player, so i hope that goes well. Im playing some NL cash also, and still playing some SNGs under a new deal/nickname on ipoker which ill post some results/graphs later on in jan/feb.

So my initial plan was to go for supernova elite this year but i decided its a big grind, and i can still do it next year, when i got offered the coaching for PLO+NL cash i couldnt refuse as its prob +EV longterm than sticking to sngs for a whole year.
I enjoy playing omaha and im a competetive/obsessive(whichever u want to call it) person when it comes to things like this, so im gonna put alot of work into it.

My schedule will basically be like, time committed; 1/2 PLO/NL and half SNG.
im starting off with only a 3k bankroll on my new ipoker account, so im gunna grind the 30-50s for a while until i get back to around 10k+ until i can play the 100s 200s. so hoping to make between 5-10k$/month with SNGs, then with PLO/NL cash, im not too bothered, obv nice to make some profit on the side, but learning is much more important as if/when/ofcourse i get good, my hourly/profit barrier is pretty unlimited compared to SNGs. Ill keep everyone updated on how that goes.

Also, im really gonna start training properly again, i've become so lazy recently, and i miss the way my body used to look/feel, so im gunna be putting in some good time at the gym/jogging, and eating healthy. Also think im going to grow my hair back, not sure how long that will take, but hopefully by summer i will look semi respectable :P ill keep that stuff updated too.

btw, i have an xbox360 now, my xbox name is JamesCawley (took me a few hours to come up with that yes) and im mainly playing Fifa09 and guitar hero world tour atm, so feel free to add me and play me on that, im getting quite good at fifa, im £20 down vs charlie(my PLO coach) but im positive im gunna get that back out of him, playing £10 a game.

Hope i didnt take to long to post, sorry for the delay and i promise to keep it updated alot more with some cool stuff, hopefully :D

November Results

O hai dere.
So november actually turned out to be my best month so far, which is pretty unexpected since i was break even around mid november.

I basically played 6 max + MTTs for the rest of the month and it went pretty well and i managed not to have a long bad stretch resulting in some sick profit. Defintely feel the extra time ive been reviewing my game and studying some spots worked out great for me.

So heres my stats/results from november @ ipoker;



Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

+ about 2500$ rakeback, makes that 13,000$ up total on sng, also cashed in quite a few MTTs for a profit of about 3k, so 16,000$ total on ipoker made. I also am up a bit in cash for about 1.5k, so that makes it about 17,500$ for the month, which is my best month yet.

I bought a nice 50" Plasma TV with a nice stand also which i setup today, it looks sick and so smooth playing PS3 on it.

Gona try get some pics posted soon of my setup/TV etc soon so check back soon.

Also, with the exchange rates as they are, $ is worth so much more now than it was like months ago, so 17.5k$ is around 11,700£, ship it.
