Week 11 & 12 Report

Stats:

Poker Play: +$24.50
Poker Bonuses: +$95
Casino Bonuses: -$39

Total: +$80.50

As I mentioned in my last post, I forgot to do a report at teh end of week 11, so i'm including it in this week's report.

Its been a pretty good two weeks where I've continued make more money at 1/2 limit. I'm now up by a total of $130, which is a pretty big turn around from a couple of months ago when I was down by $220. I still have $270 to win to reach my target though, in order to move up the stakes to 2/4. I've also started playing some NL tournaments again. I played a bunch of $5+50c sit'n go's and 1 multi table tournament. I have yet to find my form again though. For some reason Poker Tracker doesn't/ wasn't keeping track of by tournament play, so I don't actually have the exact stats available. Here are my poker stats anyway:

Poker:

No Limit:
MTT: -$11
SNG: -$28
1 x 1st : +$17
1 x 3rd: +$4.50
9 x 4th-9th: -$49.50

Limit:
Poker Stars: +$35.50
Will Hill: +$28

Poker Bonuses:
Will Hill: +$95

I played at Will Hill for a while to clear the poker bonus there that was double this month, 10 pounds for every table hour up to 50 pounds... sweet. However earlier I dropped $39 at the Will Hill monthly bonus. Somehow I managed to jump my bets from 2/ hand to 5/ hand without realising, which compounded the loss, I detailed it in the casino bonuses thread. For some reason I haven't played many casino bonuses in ages, but I've going to have to get onto them this week becasue i've only got five more days to do the Intercasino, Littlewoods and UK betting monthly's.

Casino Bonuses:

Will Hill: -$39

I've been working one day a week for a while now, making around 150- 160 a week, and since I'm on holidays i'm working three days this week, including a whopping 9 hour day today. So I'm going to have over a grand in the bank at the end of the holidays which means I'll definately be financially capable of living how I want and not having to scrounge money from mum and dad when I want to go out or to get a bus ticket or something. It also means that theres no pressure on my poker play/ casino bonus business in order to get funds... so I can take it easy. However I'd still like to make my 8000 by the end of the year, my short term goal at the moment is to make it to 2/4 stakes, but that could take a little time. My even shorter term goal is to do this months monthly's then start hitting the semi stickies... finally. Hopefull then I'll see my bankroll increase in leaps and bounds.

Between the semi stickies, stickies, and monthlies, I should be able to put on another 1200 to get my bankroll up to 4000. Then if I make it to 3/6 stakes I would've had to have won about 1270, so my bankroll will be up to 5270.... then its just a matter of making up the last 1730 through play at 3/6 and further bonus swindling. All in all its a pretty ambitious goal, as I mentioned in the beggining, but even if I don't make it, at least it will provide me motivation to work at building my bankroll.
