Spent/drunkenly gambled all of my bankroll just before Christmas so, after a short break from Hold'em, I recently started off again with £10 (~$16) in my PS account. Was playing purely cash PL2 Omaha for the first couple of weeks, and made around $50. Got a bit fed up with Omaha and the crazy variance, so I switched back to Hold'em last week and played some SSS. Had a horrible day on Monday and lost about 7 or 8 BI, so I'm currently sitting on $46.79.

Deposited £25 (~$40) onto Full Tilt a few days ago, and after losing ~$15 on the regular cash tables, I discovered the new rush games in the early hours of yesterday morning. I've since played 9 hours of SH NL10, 2-tabling, and have won $119 over 5,026 hands (11.90 BB/100). Buying in for $4 at every table, so I'm up just under 30 BI in a little over a day, with my account balance now standing at $144.63. I really love this format!

Think I'm gonna stick to grinding these for the foreseeable future, with maybe one or two tables on PS going as well mainly for the VPPs.

Just played a quick 35 minute single-table rush session whilst having my breakfast smoke and made another $9.30.
I found this hand particularly amusing.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($19.84)
Hero (BB) ($18.18)
UTG ($3.26)
MP ($14.70)
CO ($8.85)
Button ($7.40)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4, 4
UTG calls $0.10, 4 folds, Hero bets $0.35, UTG calls $0.25

Flop: ($0.75) 2, 4, A (2 players)
Hero bets $0.40, UTG raises to $2.91 (All-In), Hero calls $2.51

Turn: ($6.57) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($6.57) 7 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $6.57 | Rake: $0.43

Results below:
Hero had 4, 4 (three of a kind, fours).
UTG had 6, 9 (high card, Ace).
Outcome: Hero won $6.14

These kind of extreme tilt plays are ridiculously common in these games, it's just so easy to get maximum value out of big hands.

But enough of my unstructured ramblings, I must head off to work. I shall leave you with my graphs, and the promise of more of the same before this time tomorrow! :P

Just lost ~5 BI on my morning session. Made about 3 BI on the Lightning table but I was running horribly on Speeding Bullet and got a bit tilty on the last few hands, losing around 8 BI pretty quickly ;/

Definitely wasn't playing my best in this session, bit groggy this morning & didn't really give myself a chance to wake up. Gonna get some breakfast & maybe play a few more hands before work.

Account balance is now $122.97 X(

Edit: Btw, does anyone know how I can make notes on a player on FTP when I'm not on a table with them? Can't seem to do it from the hand history, and short of running into them again in the rush I can't find a way to do it ;c
