Well after a huge start to the week of 4 hours over the long weekend, i've managed to put in a whole 5 hours for the entire week in total.
Nevertheless, given I started the week on $8,350 the return for my 5 hours of effort has actually been quite good.
I did the live chat thing with 24poker again as planned, and asked them to credit my next $50 in bonus which they did without me playing a further hand. Guess I got the right person this time! Also played all of 20 minutes last night on Littlewoods on the $2/4 and $3/6 tables. I had promptly lost around $60 to some big fish. My AA still managed to get beaten by two pair hitting on the river and I think AA is now a losing starting hand on Littlewoods for me again. ARGH.
However, the fishies continued to chase and call down, several times when they had top pair and no kicker and I had top pair and top kicker. They ended up giving me my losses back quite quickly when I also hit my nut flush a couple times - although one was only a small win as the villian folded on the 4 flush board. Ended up making about 10BBs between the tables, so up around $50.
Should be able to play at least one decent size session this weekend, so hopefully I can continue to run reasonably well.
I'm also only 20 points from clearing the $280 bonus (in lieu of ipod) on littlewoods, so that is not going to take very long at all. Its only paid out in August though, so I won't count it in my bankroll until its actually been paid.
And Colossus - refer to my comment response in the previous post!

About Me
- parttimebonuschaser
- I've been learning poker and the online poker world since about July 2007. I average under hour each day and hopefully am able to turn a profit :) So far, so good, through low limit 6 max cash games (gradually moving through the stakes) and the odd Sit and Go, and with bonuses and rakeback i've been able to slowly build up a small bankroll. Hopefully any readers will find my blog useful, as it tracks my experiences, goals, success and failures. Or even make comment, or share some juicy bonuses with me! Cheers

Thx for the advice. I'll purchase both books. Funny thing: after asking you for some literature yesterday, I started playing 0,10/0,20 Limit Hold em just for fun (I used to play higher) and to get the feeling back. In 160 hands I was 9,6$ up :-). About 60BB/100hands. I know I was running quite good but it is incredible with what these fish are calling AND RAISING with. I'll continue this evening (if I'm not too drunk) and see if I can sustain this winrate.
Cheers.
ps: what is your 'normal' winrate?
My normal rate is anywhere between 1 and 3 PTBB/100.
Currently i'm a loser from play on Littlewoods where I cant seem to get too many good hands. I will work it back up though.
