Face lift

Loss: $2

I'm like a kid who's found the keys to the toy cupboard.

I've been playing about with my site and I hope you like/enjoy the changes I've made to it. I've not finished making all the changes I want to make yet so if you have any suggestions (like getting rid of that music that's ace the first time but really annoying after the 17th) then post away - I know you all love to.

I was offered a new blog with UK pokerscene but I've found the blogging software (wordpress) to be very unworkable so I'm sticking to good old blogspot.

I’ve played a bit but only at the ultra micro stakes to continue my progression with aggressive poker. To be honest I have found myself reverting back a little to TAG poker but it might be because I’ve been a little bored in recent games.

I should be showing more profit I think but I’ve had a couple of smelly bad beats when all my money has been in the middle. The fantastic suckout I remember is raising preflop with 88 and getting a flop of Q78. I bet, he raises, I shove and he calls with Q10. Turn a 7, river a Q. Still, it was microstakes so it doesn’t matter at all really. Just annoys me.

I've just realised that in the last 20k hands I've made about $30 which is probably why I'm bored of things at the moment. Nothing's really going wrong but nothings really going right and you can probably imagine how much of a grind it is when I'm only playing 10nl.

I do want to play higher, but I don't think I'm playing well or running well so moving up is just silly. I think I need to be staked really. Someone offer me $150 to play at 25nl for 10k hands with 50% return and I'll try it. If not, I fear I'll be stuck at 10nl for the rest of my days. Can only blame myself though.

Mind you, give it a few more weeks and I'll have made more than Bluescouse. He's nearly busto and in debt. Eeeek.

At least I'm not on that side of the gambling coin.

One last thing. Nobody seems to be listening to my audio blogs so I might ditch them - unless you convince me otherwise. I don’t think my commentary was going all that well anyway.
