The Neverending Weekend

I’ve been cobbling together a plan for the next month or so on the poker front. Originally I was planning to play a lot of live events, but having seen how miserable playing all weekend made me I’ve sharply aborted that plan.

Instead I plan to play what I want, when I want, but definitely with an angle on online play. I also hope to play the £330 monthly event at the International and the £330 new monthly tournament at the Vic.

I’ve realised that too much live poker makes me tired and irritable, and will also run up to many expenses in taxis, booze etc. A predominantly online environment should allow me to play in 2 hour bursts and keep the costs down.

I’ve updated the spreadsheet after an eventful weekend – I won well at the International and online cash, but this was more than cancelled out by a big loss in an all night heads up session with Nemo.

After a wretched first few hours, I had battled back before holding A5 on a board of x575. The game had been very aggressive so I was happy to get all in only to find Nemo holding 57 to put me back in a big hole again. I clawed back several hundred but never got close to level again.

I’ll be keeping a separate P&L for the next few months to keep track of my experiment, but updated 2010 P&L is below.
