Up and Down Month

So, May draws to a close and it has been an up and down one. The biggest sessions have been:

+£513
+£362
+£361

-£387
-£470
-£528

Basically I had a good start making £1,510, then an awful run losing £1,448, then a last minute rally of £979. Overall +£1,040, making me +£647 for the year.

These stats do hide a multitude of sins however, such as playing some $10/$20 NLHE and PLO, where dropping a buy-in at NLHE was offset by a sneaky double up at PLO. Really I'm not bankrolled for anything above $2/$4 at the moment but it is fun to have a pop at the larger games.

On the tournament front I played some more of the DreamTeam events, managing a couple of minor cashes. The live final is this Saturday which should be fun, plus I'm planning on playing in a £200 PLO tournament at the GutShot club on the Friday night as a warm up (ok, so playing PLO may not be the best warm up for a NLHE tourney....)


Finally, my good friend Howard has decided to give up work (well, for 3 months at least) to play poker, golf, and spend "quality time" with the kids. Let's see where the % time spent ends up...! He is chronicalling this on http://pokersmith2.blogspot.com so check it out.
