Update

Ok well the new challenege is under way, and it's gonna be harder than I thought. Over 17k hands in and I am breaking even. The standard of play at NL2 is just yuck. It just appears to be full of people who want to chuck $1-$2 onto the table and let it spin. Now this is fair enough, and is probably what I want, but I haven't been getting my fair share of luck. In fact if it wasn't for skill I would be massively down, as I am sitting somewhere in the region of 1000xBB behind EV, yet still managing to break even. Now hopefully when variance swings back in my direction this will help me move up a level, but it might be a while yet. I'll keep you posted.

As for the PokerStars WBCOOP, although I sent in my regsitration over a week ago, they haven't bothered replying to me yet, so unless they are quick I might just have other plans.

2009 Review and What's new for 2010

Well 2009 was a tough year, not only for business but also for poker. I made a reasonable return for the year, but boy oh boy was it hard work, as I ran like cr@p. Tournament play ended up the year over 2million chips behind EV, but still managed to return a profit. As for my bankroll experiment ended up turning my $50 into $2479, so wasn't the worst result in the world. Since work doesn't seem like showing any massive upturn for 2010, I am probably going to have to restrict my play to similar sorts of activities, i.e. local small buy in tournies and a new experiment.

2010 I have started a new bankroll experiment. Starting with $50, playing NL2, able to move to next level when have 25 buy ins and must move down when drop to 15 buy ins. This should be fun and we will see how far we can get up the ladder.

Anyway, Happy New Year to you all, best of luck for 2010 and good riddance to 2009!!!!
