March Madness

March has been mad so far. In February I was very consistent but his month I have been very erratic - often messing about. On Wednesday I had my biggest losing day of the year (losing 1/3 of my March profit so far) but made the loss all back yesterday.

It's been up and down like that all month really - and it is only 10 days old. I feel like a poker peasant. Whilst mateyboys are playing in great live tournaments taking place all over the world, I'm grinding out a couple of $$$$ the hard way.

So, it was a relief that just now I have qualified for the Betfair City Aces Challenge Grand Final to be held in London on my first attempt. I beat 115 other players in the first of 8 freerolls.

Heads up I thought I had blown it against the very aggressive Telepe (aka GotaFancy) from PuntersLounge.com. In the final hand, all the chips went in preflop - my pocket 6s flopping a set against Telepe's AKs flush draw. The river didn't disappoint me this time as the case 6 popped up to give me quads!


Still got it!
Got a couple of cool tournaments lined up for Saturday and Sunday - touch wood my luck will continue.
