Week 2 Poker Progress

This week has been an up and down week really. I have been a bit under the weather and a bout of man flu, which meant that I didn’t play or feel like playing any poker. Tuesday night was my second game in the Champions Poker League, which I won to take joint top place with furnesspkr. As I have previously mentioned though, there isn’t any pay out of funds until later in the year, as the competition last all year long. So while this was a good result there are still nearly 100 games left to play.

Wednesday night I was feeling a little better and played in the bounty game on Nasty Duck Poker, I was a good chip position, but had said I would go and help a friend set up his xbox, so when I thought that they said the bubble gets €10 and it will be for 6th place, I pushed all in. Only to find out that it was 5th place that got the bubble prize… Doh.. I was not happy, but it was my own stupid fault as I wasn’t paying attention enough.
I didn’t play any poker for a few nights and wasn’t until Saturday evening that I decided to load up PokerStars and play a few Double up games to get my points up and hopefully release some of the bonus that I am due. 10% done and should get part of it released soon I hope. I’m still hovering around the same bankroll on PokerStars. In the evening I thought I’d have a look on PKR, as I have not been on for a while. I seemed to be waiting ages for Sit N Goes to start, so decided to load up $4 in the micro stakes cash tables. I went as low as $2.13 and then got it back up to $3.47 before deciding to come off and call it a night.
Sunday night was the best night. There were 2 main games on Nasty Duck, a Champions Game and also a freeroll starting an hour later. I signed up for both and set out on a good roll. I won the champions game, which has left me top of the league current prize pool is 37.31€ of which top prize receives 20% and a trophy

After the Champions league game I played in the freeroll. I had a good feeling about the freeroll, as I didn’t go out before the last add on break. I paid €0.25 to buy and extra 5000 chips and used them to their full potential. My chip stack was up and down like a yo-yo and before long I thought I was going to bust out. Hitting a few nice and lucky hands I managed to scrape in to the top 10 and was guaranteed at least 1€. I know not massive, but the idea of this blog remember is to track my progress when starting off with £100. A while longer (I seemed to be sticking round) I was creeping my way up the chip stacks and down and up. Even longer later it was down to heads up and I ran in to AK. Lucky for me the other player held AJ and re raised me all in. As I was massive chip leader I called and won the had and took down 18€ for first place.
I started off with:
Nasty Duck – 20€
PKR – $50
PokerStars – $50

Current standings
NastyDuck – €26.08
PKR – $48.13
PokerStars – $58
