A bit of a risk i think
Ok i have built up a BR of about $10,000 from my deposit, I am takin about €8,000 of it and buyin a new car...this i dont like too much at all. I feel like this could be a big mistake and if its already playin on my mind im very concerned it might affect my play at the tables too. The reason being is this is *very* similar to what i done at the start of the year , i withdrew about $4,500 for xmass and girlfriend reasons but i left my BR too short for the games i had gotten used to playin and destroyed my BR.
Maybe this is a learning curve as at the start of the year that was the first time I had built up a decent BR and never really knew the importance of buliding it up, i needed extra cash and wanted money to be no problem for me or Danii at xmass. But after going through what i went through in January and febuary i promised i would not let it happen again. Chattin to nevo, he was sayin (and i think he is spot on here) is to keep my $10,000 BR going and now with actually a pretty decent roll see what i can do with this...after all it only came from a €50 deposit !! It could be 2 months before i win a tournament again but i still think i have a good BR and i shouldnt take nearly 80% of it out...uuugh i just know this is wrong but there are a few things that need to be considered also here
1/ I am in bad need of a new car and have been tryin to get one for a good while now
2/ I just received my neteller card yesterday so with this nice timing i was going to have to cash out my full BR from PPP anyway as i am about to move to Bospoker so i can avail of the rakeback deal with ESK (which hopefully will be about $400+ every fortnight).
So im going to deposit about $1,500 on bospoker and take it from there. But thats it, anymore of a serious BR and ill never withdraw more than 20% of it...plus the fact im buyin a car out of it will hopefully show people some "good" is comin from the poker scene!
I hope this isnt de ja vu...but fcuk it...a Sports Golf from €50 aint to shabby!

$200 MTT
Well least i got back some money i missed out on in last few days with my good hands not holdin up
Was called everything under the sun by one player who nearly exploded when i folded with just 2 xBB's when i reraised someone with Air after the river..personally i dont like callin off all your chips if it leaves you broke! There was 4 players left at this stage so i managed to get back only for him to totally break me heads up..must keep an eye out for him 8-)

Jeepers
Im slightly worried about my run in last 2 days, online KK has been beatin 4 outta 4 times all for over $300-$400 pots, last night in a cash game my set of 3's beaten by runner runner better full house for a €300 pot too
All in all about $1,500 bucks have slipped through my fingers in the last 2 days, which isnt good considerin im about to buy a new car with my winnings, i still need about another €1000 so its not really helpin.
Grrr just bubbled in a $200 STT ..ok gonna head to pub and take a break..man i was CL wiht 4 left
Came home last night from playin live, we were playin €1/€1 cash game, i tried in vain to get the blinds to at least 1/2 but nope, plus it was Pot Limi so everyone to the flop etc. Ran my startin stack of €100 up to about €400 but the big hand i lost with my set of 3's took it away from me
There was 4 players to the hand, all limped into pot which was unusual . I am in BB with 33, John on about 160 bucks, me on about 400 pot is €4 (ugh)
Flop comes A Q 3r,
I bet €4, john calls one other player calls (pot €16)
Turn Q, I check, john bets 16, i reraise another 32 on top john calls lookin confused pot over 100, other player folds
River brings a 7 and i was wtchin john and suddenly he was lookin serious, i was first to act but i felt beatin, i said "the sick perve probably has Q7..oh go on i check" to which john says "pot"...
ugh i know im bet and am 50/50 to foldin, i have no excuse i called knowin i was bet and he shows Q7 . oh well nh
Got home and missed the 10K GTD which was a pity cause really wanted to play it 3 nihgts in a row..i ended up railbirding Analyser in it who came 2nd..WP i would have loved to play it, good laugh
Also the 50K GTD which i really havent played or knowin off, there on every sunday and unless im in the pub gettin sloshed i intend playin in these every weekend...though they are SICKLEY top heavy payout, 10 gets $750 and 1st gets $14,000+ thats rough and with over 600 players and only 27 gettin paid...SORT IT OUT TRIBECCA!!!
Was railbirdin JBurelson who i play in the $50 and $100 STTs on a regular basis who was playin in it and on a nice stack but unfortunatley went bust in 10th or 11th with his 77 being no match for A8..an expensive coin flip no doubt !
RIght im off to the pub!
