Oi! Online! No!
Woke up this morning and as sometimes happens I really had the urge to post, but as I haven’t been up to much recently I was struggling to think of anything even remotely interesting. I then remembered that I’ve been shying away from an accurate bottom line for my 2006 online antics.
This is how it all pans out, in glorious pounds sterling;
PokerStars -5700
UB -600
BlueSq -1420
WilliamHill +8788
Ladbrokes -2844
Total -1766
(the nice draw on laddies that I recently reminisced about actually occurred in the dying days of 2005).
I can cope with a fairly modest deficit of two grand, but I’m pretty sure there’s anything up to another two or three grand of affiliate money that’s found it’s way, unaccounted, onto the tables over the year. Promises have since been made to fast-track those monies into the joint account as soon as they touchdown.
I’m also ashamed to admit that I got a healthy two grand cash injection into my stars account about seven weeks back thanks to (another) saver that came good. This seemed like a wonderful idea at the time, but it didn’t take long to see the back of it; $500 SNG’s when under the influence really aren’t very clever.
There was then one embarrassing, but enlightening moment on stars recently when, whilst on the tear in the $50 re-buy I was calling, hitting and outdrawing everybody and had amassed a 100k when the nearest rival had just 50k. The chat box was raging with the usual cretinous rants, but I sat up when one drone typed in the following;
“Microdisney, $2012 lifetime winnings on this site“.
Now, not even I knew that and I have since found out that on sites such as Sharkscope this information is readily available. Wow, a service like that has to be a necessity if I’m ever gonna take this venture seriously.
It’s far from all bad though and signs of what lies ahead are promising:
a) on the first hand dealt to me in 2007 at the 300 freeze in Walsall on New Years Day, I limped with a 3-3, flopped a set, turned a boat and trebled up.
b) some very iffy calls of late have either been good, or if momentarily suspect, have come good in the end.
Ahh, sweet form, you're almost within my grasp.
