Played in the 50up club on Sporting Odds tonight. Only playing to earn the freeroll entry.

Got my freeroll place in one hit!

Well that month seems to have flown by.

Lets see, what have I been up to on the tables?

I have decided to stick to cash tables as I seem to have the right game for cash and usually end up in profit at the end of a session.

I downloaded poker office and that has been a godsend for tracking my play and keeping accurate stats for myself and my opponents. It has made a BIG difference and I would recommend it to anyone.

I play the stakes according to my bankroll on each site rather than my overall bankroll. I'm earning a bonus on Betfred at the moment and initially deposited £50 so am playing the 10c/20c tables. I am now up to £120 and will probably move to 25c/50c soon to speed up the bonus process.

On Sporting Odds I have been playing mainly $10 STTs and my last 10 showed 3 wins 3 seconds and 2 thirds for a pretty good return. I also had a second in a $20 STT which my first go at that level.

I haven't played many MTT lately but I did try out the Punter Lounge focus game on Friday. $5 buy in on Titan. I managed 15th out of 483 which was quite good for $23. I just get annoyed as I was going well and twice I raised with good hands only to run into Aces. I didn't bet into them but when the blinds are as big as they were thats a huge chunk of your stack.
