Well it finally arrived..........

Well after about 4 weeks my Bankroll finally arrived. But I then decided to buy myself a new computer. All fine and Dandy but I now need to transfer all my PT3 data onto the new computer. But I really have not had the time to do it with other things going on at the moment......

First of all I lost my car keys and I turned the house upside down so many times it was dizzy and still no joy. Has I speak I have a locksmith trying to open the car door and then he can cut me a key, but not for much change out of £300 though....

Also been away last weekend playing a team challenge and along with my other 5 team mates we battled for 2 days and eventually were declared the winners of the team challenge and we collected $34k. We decided to take the money and run instead of the package to Vegas and each of us collected $5.8k.

So the cash challenge has rather taken a back foot over the last 3 to 4 weeks, but I have managed some poker on the challenge. I have played over 400 hands since I received my Bankroll back and made a tasty profit to. Well over $70+ and I also played a couple of Mtt's and went deep in one for $30+. So its been going pretty well pokerwise. I have now got my b/roll back on both scores, 1st being the challenge and 2nd being my b/roll across all the poker sites from the team challenge. I must try harder not flutter it away in the online casino's which is my vice..... But I have taken steps to try and curb it by banning myself in writing at the local bookies for 5 years and 2 other bookies near by to me......

So I need to sort my PT3 out with the data on the other computer and I am all good to go again.

Yes my health still plays a part of my playing ablity, and I have been increased yet again in the amount of Painkillers I take. They decided to increase the amount by another 50% which to be honest kills me. I sound and look like a zombie at the moment. Its a very strong dosage I have now and the side effects are of course 50% worse than before. I am constanly wanting to sleep and its a struggle trying to stay awake, but hey there's no pain when your alseep :-0

But the big news is I have now turned the ripe old age of 43 now....... Once again thank you to all the well wisher's.............

Piss Bollocks Fuck........

I did promise updates every 2 weeks on here, But without a bankroll to play with I cant do anything......

They were moving over to Ongame and I like many others decided to leave my funds on there and carry on after the Migration. My account was moved over yesterday but the funds are nowhere to be seen. Its apprent that I am not the only one who have not received there B/rolls. They say it's because Boss Media are delaying in making the Transfers over and there is nothing they can do. So at the moment I am wondering if I will see my funds again. So until then I can not play. I have voiced my concerns on facebook like others have done. I guess that's what you get for trust !!!

Will update more when I know what's happening. But its €1550 which is also now going to be exchanged into Dollar, so I need to re think what to do when I do finally get the funds.....

Time for a change.......

Has Promised I will be updating this blog at least every 2 weeks. My last blog was to inform you that Euro Super Poker have decided to move over to Ongame which is the same site as Betfair, Bwin, Betsafe and Hollywood Poker. But its best known for Pokerroom before they merged.

Well it all should of been done and dusted on the 7th Jan so I thought nothing of leaving my Bankroll on there and waiting to fire up on the new network. I fired it up on the 7th and was told the old site is now closed, but however the switch had hit a snag and it was now not going to happen until the 13th Jan. Was slightly worried because they didnt inform us until the 9th which was a full 2 days of worrying about my Bankroll and if I had been hoodwinked! But eventually read about the delay on there facebook page. So I guess I can nothing until the 13th Jan now and hopefully get up and running from then on in. We have been promised some sort of compensation, so will forward to that if any...... But they have some good promo's lined up and hopefully should be able to kick on with the challenge.

I have been playing a little cash on the new software on another skin, and the play seems to have improved and the points actually mean something on the new site to. I just have to wait and see if I can retain my 45% rakeback deal. I really want to hammer the hands on this challenge, but everytime I gear myself up for it I find I lose the will to continue either due to the medication kicking in and not being able to concentrate well enough, or I find lots of other sites offering better promo's, and because there on the same site I can see its going to cause a bit of a problem later on. I have been looking at how to run 2 sites at once and I think it can be done via a virtual PC. But I need to speak to my cousin when I next go up north......

Bugger !!!!

Well it didnt take long before the new year decides to throw the challenge up in the air. I have just received an email saying they are now moving to a different network. At this time I dont know anything about my rakeback deal regards still being able to collect my 45%. All I know is they are moving over to Poker Network which is the same as BWin and Betfair poker. Its not that bad to be honest, and I guess the traffic is 3 times as much, with some good tournaments. I also guess the standard will be a bit better to. Once its all migrated over and new account set up I will of course update this thread. The only problem at the moment I think will effect me is the currency I play in. On the current network mine is € but I know they play in $ on the new one, so I need to decide what to do there.

The end of the year 2010




Ok so the year is over and its time to reflect on the year. Considering my illness and its cost me a fair amount of time with non playing I feel I have played very well when I have played.

Over the time I have had the tracker, which was April this year I did managed to play and log almost 43k hands over the time. Its shows an overall profit of €230.32. But since this time last year I have made an overall profit of €415.07. I am very chuffed with that amount. I never thought it was that much, but just goes to show what can be done if you put your mind to it.

My goal for 2011 is to make the €2000 figure, and based on the last 12 months and considering I was playing on the lower limits for most of the year it really should not be a problem.

Top are my screenshots of my Euro Poker account with the amount shown and the PT3 with my stats since I have had the tracker. The tracker has made a huge difference and its now a must for me because it tells me who are the muppets and saves me writing notes on everyone.
The next screenshot is the amounts played and the blind levels played since April.
