September

Poker

Well September has not been to bad for poker, I'm not a big fan of playing cash games but I have been playing daily at FullTilt in their Take 2 promotion. All you have to do is play 2 cash tables at you preferred level and earn 1 FullTilt Point per day. Play 25 out of the 30 days in September and they give you $50. Simple as that not further conditions, you can now play with it or withdraw it. As I'm only a micro donk I played $0.01/$0.02 tables and had a winning run all month and I'm about $20 up from where I started.

I think because I went on there will the idea to play tight and just get the 1 FTP I played better than I normally do when I get into a cash game. I was also on there for a short period each day and didn't get bored. Getting bored always kills my stack because I play to many hands. I will carry on playing through October and see if I can still make a profit playing cash, that would be a new experience.

Won some money.

Poker

Played to Freerolls as part of a deposit promotion yesterday. These were at Easy Play Poker, a newer skin on the merge network. The first game I came 10th and made a huge $2.50 the second I came in 5th and won $75.00. A nice little win for a freeroll.

My bad

Life

MMM been a little bit quiet again lately, no real excuse but I have been a bit busy. I have been working on a project that hopefully will allow me to be self-employed. It's still in the very early stages and I have been doing a great deal of research. I now have the idea and plan together and I am writing a web site, I learned how to write html years ago but never really did much, so with the help of a few good books I've updated my knowledge.

I spent a week getting the first few pages written and put them out there on the big world wide web, then hated them, so I've spent a few days re-writing and I'm much happier. So the MK2 version rocks lol. "This time next year we will be millionaires"

Poker

My little experiment with double or nothing sng's is officially over, I got so bored playing them that I lost to many. So I'm back with my first poker love and playing multi table tournaments again. At the moment I'm getting into the money on a regular basis, so poker is fun.

Unemployment

Some times I despair of the UK government, they have backed us into a financial crisis, causing 2.4 million people to be unemployed and they then come up with wonderful statements about concentrating about targeting 16 to 25 years and making sure all of them is in work. Where does this leave us that are older than 25, competing in an unfair market yet again. I'd consider a job in politics but I don't think I fancy having my brain removed. Not that an election will help because we will only be replacing one lot of corrupt wasters with another. When I earn that million I'm moving to an offshore tax haven. Neil
