Back from my poker break

February 25, 2008

Well it almost seems like a lifetime but it was just a week off on holiday. Things are hopefully getting back on track in the forum with the spam and iffy posts swept out the way.

I’d been hoping to do a bit more of the admin while I was away at an internet cafe but as you probably know they can be something of a mixed bag. The one I ended up frequenting was on the nextdoor to useless variety. The keyboard was missing keys and being in France featured a very frustrating keyboard only useful if you needed all the accents etc or liked to have a layout only loosely based on the qwerty keyboard.

Needless to say the ski slopes proved more tempting than bashing my head against a brick wall trying to get PM’s and admin done at a snails pace.

Anyway I’ve come back from a few days on the piste in Andorra suitably refreshed dispite a 5 hour delay on what was meant to be a 90 minute flight.

I’m playing in the final satellite tonight at PKR Poker for a seat at the GUKPT final in London. And (using a handy time machine) I can tell you I came a none to impressive 49th out of 270 odd players ($3000 GUKPT packages went to the top 12 players) but it was really enjoyable to be playing in a MTT for a change. The buy-in was $150 so my bankroll management hasnt improved for the break but I figured what the hell.

This leads me into what is going to be another occasional side project in addition to the minimum bankroll challenge (havent had time for that at the tables in the last week or two). So now I’m also going to be playing only MTT’s at PKR starting with a $350 bankroll (less the $150 from today) and see what happens. I’ll try to stick to some kind of bankroll management from now on as the GUKPT thing was just something I promised myself a couple of months back. So I’m going to be playing sub $10 Multi Table Tournaments (ok maybe up to $20) mainly to get back into the swing of the longer games but hopefully showing some positive results before the bankroll gets too low.

The backlog of work has piled up since going away but hopefully with re-newed energy after the break I’m hoping to get more done on 4kingpoker and the other sites.

UPDATE: In order to help keep the forums spam under control and the forum duff post free we now have a “report spam / posts” button at the top right of all the posts - look out for the red and white triangle - So if you spot something that doesnt look right hit that button and I’ll check it out.

Good Luck at the tables
cheers Scrawnybob
