Didnt realise it was so long since i last posted ..... Anyway Bap is now finished ... $200.71 ... Didnt make much ... but happy to finish in profit ... it was a roller coaster ride of downs and ups ....
Extremely frustrating at times ... so so many bad beats ... poker variance i dont know ... the amount of times i got all my chips in preflop with the best hand only to loose is sickening ... my most recent bad run was earlier this week had A,K v A,Q lost A,K v A,J lost A,K v 9,10 lost K,K v 3,3 lost A,A v 2,4 lost these were all in by me pre flop except for the K,K and A,A these i raised and got reraised all in by .... reraised all in by 2,4 ????
And that was only this week OUCH
I looked back through the games i lost and it reads the same except for ones i class as 50/50 eg i push 10,10 get called by K,Q and loose ... had some of these too
Positive note ... I am getting in ahead ... and im not playing stupid and loosing that way ... so hopefully if i keep doing this ill start getting more results ..... Well thats what they say anyway
As for staking ... will be sticking with it ... suits my financial situation perfectly ..... get to play poker with no risk to me ... and will continue till i have a bankroll im happy with

Nice going photolong, poker is a huge roller coaster at times, you just have to put your arms up and screm, but you must enjoy the ride. Looks, or sounds likee having resposabitiy to outers is forcing you to pull out your A game, GL with it.

nice one, some sick beats by the sounds of it, but the fact that you came out on top I suppose proves that in the end solid play turns a profit even with some bad-ass variance. Obviously you managed your roll in such a way to deal with the bad and make the most of the good. Well done and good luck with future BAP - Keep us posted
