Last Friday I made a determined decision that I would play as much poker as I could over the weekend. I haven't had a lot of spare time recently, and the lack of poker has been getting to me.
I'm glad I did - as it's been a weekend of good (not great, but solid) results... that has not only given my bankroll a much needed boost, but has also boosted my motivation immeasurable amounts
Sitting at work now, I can't wait to get home and play some more... It's all I can think about. It had faded away over the last few months... but it really feels like poker is taking over my life again.... and I love it
I'm sorry I neglected you poker... I've always loved you, and I'll never leave you again
For anyone who's interested, this is what I've played over the weekend:
No Limit Hold'em - Buy in: $5.10, Entrants: 1197, Finished: 62nd, Won: $16 No Limit Hold'em - Buy in: $1.10, Entrants: 4047, Finished: 3117th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $5.10, Entrants: 1561, Finished: 178th, Won: $9.36 No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $5.50, Entrants: 190, Finished: 2nd, Won: $147 No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $11, Entrants: 32136, Finished: 28447th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $17, Entrants: 347, Finished: 190th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $11, Entrants: 7760, Finished: 2053th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $5.10, Entrants: 1275, Finished: 937th, Lost No Limit Single Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $5.50+, Entrants: 42, Finished: 16th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $4.40, Entrants: 3234, Finished: 644th, Lost No Limit Single Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $5.50+, Entrants: 46, Finished: 2nd, Won: $91 No Limit Hold'em - Buy in: $4.40, Entrants: 6163, Finished: 586th, Won: $7.88 No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $5.50, Entrants: 2873, Finished: 2154th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $2.40, Entrants: 3997, Finished: 2290th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $11, Entrants: 1914, Finished: 755th, Lost Pot Limit Omaha - Buy-in: $4.40, Entrants: 227, Finished: 105th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $5.10, Entrants: 1402, Finished: 744th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $4.40, Entrants: 5563, Finished: 4224th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $17, Entrants: 1485, Finished: 57th, Won: $38 Limit Triple Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $2.20, Entrants: 23, Finished: 16th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $11, Entrants: 1910, Finished: 458th, Won No Limit Single Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $2.20, Entrants: 50, Finished: 28th, Lost Limit Triple Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $2.20, Entrants: 17, Finished: 1st, Won: $13 No Limit Single Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $5.50+, Entrants: 37, Finished: 16th, Lost Limit Triple Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $5.50, Entrants: 16, Finished: 3rd, Won: $16 No Limit Single Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $5.50+, Entrants: 44, Finished: 2nd, Won: $77 No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $8.80, Entrants 571, Finished 312th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $3.30, Entrants 4385, Finished 1255th, Lost No Limit Single Draw 2-7 Lowball - Buy-in: $2.20, Entrants: 40, Finished: 35th, Lost Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo - Buy-in: $17, Entrants: 323, Finished: 108th, Lost No Limit Hold'em - Buy-in: $2.75, Entrants: 726, Finished: 707th, Lost

Yeah vic... It's on Stars - I only ever really play on Stars now, despite having accounts on virtually every other site I know of....
And marqis - Yep, I have been busy... The problem is going to be being able to keep up this volume of play now I'm back at work. I don't just want to be a weekend player....

Yout85. I work it out to just over $100 profit on this lot. I hope for you that is a good return on investment and a well worked weekend. I agree that I recognise that feeling of sitting at work not being able to wait to get home n play! Keep it up.

Cheers firs of all congratulations mate, but you could play way more if you can play more tables at the same time and very good scores so far, do you have a ROI for the games you played so far. It should be huge looking at the wins you had. Anyway have fun playing those tournaments and hope you make more money and can catch another good run and make huge dough and maybe live off poker lol. Also if you thinking about poker everyday it might be a gambling problem he?

Nice results mate, since you are on a heater my advice would be to continue playing
And just as an advice try out more draw games, it seems you did really good there. It seems now all want to play those draw games since pros started to play them.

I definitely do better in non-Hold'em games than Hold'em. This isn't (in my opinion) because I am any worse at Hold'em than the other games... but is because most people are better at Hold'em than anything else, so my edge in the other games is greater.
------------ ....and the streak goes on
My $50 deposit 6 days ago has now turned into a bankroll of just below $500

Soon enough this thread will turn into a "my road to 100k " one
Keep this one updated mate pls! Not only you seem to be on a great results roll, your approach to the game is also getting my attention ( maybe I'll learn something from this).
