Closing : $2708.74
For a rather pathetic monthly profit of $163. Given that this included a big chunk of rakeback (about $250), a couple of decent rake races (about $250), and a massive heater in a shot at 5/10 (about $300) it means (the rest of) my play was utterly dismal (ooh, about -$650). Still, I managed not to go backwards, which has got to be better than nothing eh?
Will carry forward $2295 in the online bankroll, and AUD$550 offline. Exchange rates will make future months a tricky calculation.
Bad things(tm) this month:
- Getting hammered at OPoker (Crypto) and Eurolinx (Micro) for a lot
- 2/4 coming back to earth with a thump (after the early heater, I briefly went negative before recovering a bit
- Losing money from play
- Pacific fishies
- Massive heater at 5/10
- A fair first crack at live 10/20, managing not to lose money
- Rake races at Eurolinx and OPoker
- Rakeback
- Pacific fishies
- Not losing money overall
On the further upside, December has started with a bit of a bang. This was one of those miracle hands that just kept getting better:
On another table, I was playing against a massive, massive maniac. Maybe the biggest I ever saw. This guy raised about 50% of his PF hands, and played them almost all to the river for maximum betting. I don't think I am exaggerating. He hammered me a few times when he hit a set of fours (capped pre), a rivered str8 w J9o (capped pre), and a better pair on the turn.
But finally, revenge was mine:
Postscript: perhaps the funniest thing I ever saw at a poker table.

Then I went and spoilt it by blowing everything I won from the maniac and then some. The table was massively fishy (huge multiway pots) and I just couldn't get away from decent hands when I knew I should W$SD=33.
I'm in no position to judge but keep posting , i love it and you could have had quad 8's , he was just being cautious 'cos he didnt necessarily have the nuts . ha ha ha ha ah aha ha aha ha . priceless. almost as good as the fold on the KKKKA board. LOL

They say that the swings get wilder as you get better and the big pot was a classic example.
I'm expecting that offline bankroll to soar past the online one ... just make sure you stay disciplined at the casino and not push it too hard.
Rakeback/races etc are your friend. Its at least a little reassuring that you can run like ass and still end up in the black for the month.
I'm surprised you're havin trouble on micro - i've always found it pretty fishy. Then again ... its probably like me on Bodog at the moment where the fish are carvin me up.
TFAL: Thanks for the confidence, but I am realistic. The offline "bankroll" is really only a buyin and a half, so it's quite possible to lose it in one unlucky session. As always when taking shots, I am hoping to get lucky enough in the beginning to stick around and see what happens. One guy at my table the other day was stuck $1100 for the session, and he seemed like a decent player.
Bort: Euro is generally pretty fishy, and I did well there in October. I just hit a couple of big coolers which hurt me in a big way.
