Poker: Financial results for March 2019

Plan
Monthly target was:
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 10 STT with target of breaking even

Monitor
Overall results for the month:-
Pokerstars : -$ 20.97
Live play   : -£ 47.00
Pokerstars results break down as follows:
Tournament Results (-$ 20.97)
STT (-$ 20.97)
11x Holdem (9 seat)           -$ 20.97 (4 cashes)

Reflect
Still very low volume, not really hitting the tables like I used to !    4 Cashes from 11 games is pretty good I think, but not enough to make a profit, which is a little disappointing.

April 2019 objectives:
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 10 STT with target of breaking even
Strategic Objectives for 2019
* Get back to a more regular schedule of playing
* Commit only to the TCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
* Only try Pokerstars Championship/EPT when have got previous months profits

NOTE:
For the months of February through May this year, I'm donating 50% of any Poker profits to Clare White who is fundraising for her charity https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/clare-white32
Sadly no profit for March :(

    I haven't been playing as regularly as I wanted to, and my results aren't as good as I would hope.   Overall though I am not too worried as were a lot of distractions in 2018. Hopefully 2019 will allow me to focus more, get back into the swing of things and my results will then improve

Comparing results to my Strategic Objectives for 2018
* Get back to a more regular schedule of playing
Not got back to a regular schedule yet really. Will hope to get more regular in 2019

* Commit only to the TCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
More or less managed to avoid the online festivals I couldn't avoid. Did get a little sidetracked by EPT but only to a small degree

* Only try Pokerstars Championship/EPT when have got previous months profits
More or less managed this

Strategic Objectives for 2019
* Get back to a more regular schedule of playing
* Commit only to the TCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
* Only try Pokerstars Championship (formerly EPT) when have got previous months profits

I didn’t get much time to play this month, so cash hands are down on normal (albeit I shouldn’t really be playing any Mobile Zoom !) I only played the Spin’N’Go as I had $5 voucher given to me… so played 5x $1 games and cashed 3 times

Cars: my Car history 2018 update

I can never remember anything, so put together this car history, to the best of my memory!

Car	Appx Date	Comments
Mini Clubman 1000cc	1980	Company Car. Engine kept having problems, rebuilt a couple of times. (don't know why, I never revved it more than maximum revs....)
Austin Allegro		Company Car. Surprising how many people you can get in an Allegro
A different Austin Allegro		Company Car. First experience of lift-off oversteer. Luckily Tree wasn't damaged..... car written off. Oops.....
Citroen Athena		Bosses car, used fairly regularly whilst I was "rested" from company car ownership..... first experience of 3 figure speeds (it was socially acceptable in those days) however was unable to think of suitable reasons to explain to boss why his fuel consumption halved whenever I drive his car..... so fun was seriously curtailed after various "discussions" on driving technique.
Talbot Solara		Company Car. Rubbish car, but permanently on the road again! Learnt about weight transfer when swerving to avoid truck pulling out in front of me. Luckily the barrier on the A3 Hook underpass wasn't damaged.... car written off....... probably did car loving humanity a favour though....
Talbot Solara Series II		Company Car. Very exciting as the first car I had from brand new. Also first one I had with 5 speed gearbox ! (it is some new fanged gadget, will never catch on..)
BMW 316		Company Car. Only had it for a month.... didn't want to give it back, as in those days it was cool to have a Beema
Ford XR3i		Company Car. Ended up with engine on fire when starting it one day, probably petrol leak in engine bay... write off of course (but not my fault this time !!)
Ford Capri 1.6L Laser		Company Car. First real experience of rear wheel drive. Also first experience of a big tank slapper.... luckily didn't hit anything, and my passenger ended up marrying me, so couldn't have been that bad :-)
Cant remember what I had next	1990	Company car of some sort.
Saab 900i auto	1990	Company Car. Working in London now. Daily commute, yuk.
Saab 900s manual	1991	Company Car.
Cannot remember	1992-94	Company Car. Some repmobile or other probably
Rover 216	1994	Changed company, this was obviously a company car !
Rover SDI 3.5 V8	1994	First car I owned myself. Changed company and decided to get car allowance. Only lasted about 7 weeks before it collapsed in a heap of rust and mangled bits (£50 for a car wasn't much even in those days)
Renault 19 1.3	1994	My car. Great car actually.
Cannot remember	1996	Company car. Doing high mileage so went back to company car.
Renault Laguna 2.0 Sport	1997	Company car. Sport meant you got the "firm" seats (i.e. - your head doesn't touch the side windows when you turn the steering wheel)
Saab 900 Turbo	1997	My car again. Changed company just as Tony Blair got into power... bound to hammer company car drivers, so I went for a car allowance. Very quick car (once Turbo has spun up that is, none of this namby-pamby low-pressure turbo rubbish)
Lotus Elise	1997	"Our" weekend car. until wife wanted to sell her half..... Hmmmm, OK. Absolutely wonderful car though, would love to race one. (we all need to dream)
Subaru Impreza Turbo	1999	My Car. mine, mine, mine.... one of the most reliable cars in the business, so why did it throw a rod through one of the cylinders then ? Complete engine rebuilt under warranty (luckily) Great car, but refused to be driven sensibly. I must be getting old as started worrying about my Driving License.
Jaguar XK8 Convertible	2002	My car. Fantastic car, not just for posing in either. Only sold it to provide my racing budget (and some stuff for the house, but hey....) Might own another one again (or maybe an Exige would be better..)
Land Rover Discovery Td5	2003	Company Car. To tow my race car of course. Tax liability is a bit of a bugger, but you can't beat it for towing.
Range Rover	2004	Company Car. Temporary arrangement from May-Sept. Unbelievably, you cannot buy a new Discovery at the moment !
Jeep Grand Cherokee	2004	Company Car. Temporary arrangement from Sept 04- Apr 05 Auto gearbox, but fantastic V8 petrol engine. Great for towing and not bad in a straight line :-)
Subaru Forester 2.5 XT	Mar 2005	Own car (Alphabet) Can tow 2 tonnes and goes like stink as well !
Lotus Elise R	Mar 2008	Own car (Alphabet) Fabulous car
Fiesta	Mar 2010	Driving wife’s car
Alpina B3	Aug 2011	Own car (private) Convertible
Ford Focus ST	Nov 2012 to 13th Oct 2018	Own car (private) Nice car, practical and able to go a bit as well
Jaguar XE Landmark	Dec 2018 to current	Own car (private) Ex-Demo (90 days old with 1900 miles when I got it) Nearly bought an F-Type, but this one is much more sensible and still a great car !

Reflect
Cash seems more under control now. I'm trying not to play Zoom so aggressively as previously :) 8-Game was a little disappointing, but still OK. My STT results were terrible at the beginning of the month, but then had a hot run towards the end to get some decent results in. Just a shame to have such poor results overall

I am not playing many serious sessions at the moment. Cash is only Mobile Zoom, so happy enough to see any positive result for the month. My STT efforts got side tracked by trying to win a Spin'N'Go with PSPC prize (I never saw sight of such a prize though) I still don't seem to be able to get near average results for Spin'N'Go so should avoid them (again!) in future. The actual STT I did play I was happy enough with

Poker: Micro Millions 2018 results

I managed to get myself organised this year to play some of the Pokerstars MicroMillions Smile

Games played	Game	Players	Finish	Profit USD
MicroMillions #01	Holdem	20’600	932	6.36
MicroMillions #10	Holdem	16’374	3’750	-5.50
MicroMillions #19	8 game	3’970	584	4.58
MicroMillions #27	Holdem	14’470	10’577	-5.50
MicroMIllions #69	Holdem	5’699	545	3.40
MicroMillions #82	Horse	2’991	1’801	-3.30
MicroMillions #87	Holdem	7’193	2’539	-1.82
MicroMillions #90	Holdem	12’427	2’087	2.63
MicroMillions #97	Holdem	4’343	3’402	-3.30
TOTAL PROFIT/LOSS				-2.45

Some of the games were huge slogs, mostly spending between 2 and 4 hours playing.

Although I didn’t actually make an overall profit, I am pretty happy with my playing and am astounded that I managed to cash in 4 out of the 9 games I played (especially considering the number of players)

Roll on next year… Smile

With my bankroll depleted, decided to keep the playing down to within my new limits for this month, especially as we're on holiday the end of the month. My cash wasn't great results, but in the main was down to a couple of sessions where I seemed to run really badly ! My STT was above average results, but lower volume than normal.

I'm actually quite happy with the cash I did play. Managed to get a couple of 8-Game sessions, but as the number of hands is quite low the results aren't all that worrying.     My main losses were from the SCOOP events. I did OK and got a couple of small cashes, but not enough to cover the outgoings.   Not my finest result for a SCOOP, but all good really. Maybe next time I'll not try to qualift for so many Medium levels though...

I still believe my PLO cash game isn't too bad on review, I do feel there are more good losing hands (i.e. the way I played them) than hands I played poorly. My activities were low volume so nothing much to go on for the STT and Spin’n’Go.

I am still happy with my PLO game, just a shame I had two bad sessions at the end of the month at $0.25 blinds to loose a bundle. Might have a rest from 0.25 PLO for a while, to build up my bankroll again ! My STT and MTT results are a little disappointing, being a little below average results. Overall I am OK with my NLHE games as well, I suppose the Turbo format is going to be a little more swingy, just seems I am struggling to get off the ground and even when doing well, seem to fall at the final hurdle to miss out on the wins. Will need to concentrate more whilst playing to try and improve results!!

March 2018 objectives:
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 10 STT with target of breaking even

I am basically happy with my cash results. My 8-Game could have been a little better, need to tighten up the Stud games, but otherwise OK. My STT are OK being a very small sample size, one win away from break even really.

February 2018 objectives:
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even

Reflect
My live games haven't been good from a result point of view, but have enjoyed the ones I've played, and generally happy with my live game.

The online results are pretty OK overall. Seem to play better on the higher stakes now, but not sure if that's just because I don't play so much high stakes. The MTT results are basically due to the one TCOOP result. My STT results are not great. I don't play Spin'n'go anymore so that drain wont happen anymore. The 9 seat STT is my main game now, as my recent results seem to be improving, hope I can turn this around in 2018

Comparing results to my Strategic Objectives for 2017

* Get back to a more regular schedule of playing
Not really back to a regular schedule as I would like. Need to try harder!

* Commit only to the TCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
Didn't do too badly :)

* Only try Pokerstars Championship (formerly EPT) when have got previous months profits
Well kind of !
