Here’s the good news first: I now have a net profit of 32,15$, a 78$ bankroll and I’ve played 35,15 session hours in total. The bad news is that I have still been having problems with my connection at Celeb Poker. My theory is that my Internet connection is  incompatible with their software….makes no sense I know, but damn it it’s all I’ve got. But come to think of it my Celeb Poker bad news is not bad news after all; today I got so sick of timing out that I cashed out from Celeb Poker (GASP!) and deposited my entire 85$ bankroll at Everest Poker. What joy! Despite loosing 7$ of my bankroll, I got to multitable 3 tables for an hour with no problems what so ever. Watch out all you fellow 0,05/0,10c No Limit players, the grinding monster is back with a vengeance.

In the wake of my new found enthusiasm, I have also set new goals for myself:

• Reach 200$ by playing 0,05/0,10c 10$ max buyin tables and small stakes tourneys (max 2$)
• Move up in limits when the 200$ goal has been reached

So far I’m earning on average a buck an hour, so I will reach 200$ in about 120 hours from now if I continue on the same track….let’s hope Lady Luck can give me a boost. 120 hours is a long time.

Here’s a selection of my session updates posted throughout this week in my bankroll building thread:

Update

I managed to play 3 session hours yesterday while discussing the future of pokerbrb with my two friends and co founders.
Rest assured that the future looks bright
I had a bad start to both my sessions, reloading almost 10$ which is a full buyin.
On one table I had AJ on a JJ4 board against KK, of course a king comes dancing along on the river.
On the other table I tried to bluff…enough said
Fortunately I made a nice double up with KK on a Qxx flop. I went all in on the flop to fake madness and my opponent called. I’m pretty sure he had a Q so I was unhappy to say the least when another Q hit on the turn. But this time the K came dancing on the river to my tune.

Update:

Session hours played: 28,5
+/- : 23,3$
Total bankroll: 47€

Check this hand out. I should not have called his turn all in…was pretty sure he had the flush. But hey, I had outs for a full house and even better 4 of a kind

Today

Internet dodgy again

So I only got to play 1,5 session hours before my connection started screwing me again. I have made the decision to withdraw my bankroll from Celeb Poker and deposit somewhere else. I have the feeling that my Internet connection and the Celeb Poker software are not compatible.

Here’s my last update from Celeb Poker:

Session hours played: 32,15

+/- : +38,45

I have also made a graph over my hourly net income and accumulated net profit. Check it out here (the stats are not that impressive)

 See you at the tables folks…good luck to you all.
