Wrap this up

So keeping a log of all my poker adventures is harder than i thought.

I'm going to "forget" all the post I've made and therefore won't keep nor finish any of the storys i may have or may have not started ( eh eh ).

To shorter the story up:

started in january with something like 1.94€ and manage to get, on a freeroll, after going broke, 24€ with the help of my girlfriend ( you rock! ).

From that point on I've been trying to learn more and more about six max poker: it's more agreesive, with more action, with more money switching hands, more variance.

Some of these words were new, others need to be re-study.

Read a lot of info and started to join poker foruns but what i think made the difference was talking to people on Pokerinfo.pt, reading the Ryan Fee's guide and start using Holdem Manager.

Just then i felt my game had a switch and i start doing things i never ever done before.

I took my money from NOIQ and deposited it into Pacific Poker due to a promotion offering a license ( pro ) for free if i just made something like 100 points.

I did them in two weeks and got a big bundle of profit which i always kept cashing out to Neteller, leaving Pacific with the starting 100$ I've deposited before.

So, my story on pacific was and is:

- weak players kept me on my toes: they can call you down with A6 on a Axxxx table against your AK
- they can call you down with A8 on a Axxxx table and win with an 8 on the river against your AQ

On the long run, this equals profit.

I've deposit 80$, got 20$ immediate bonus ( thanks, Pokerinfo.pt ) and got to 150$.

Withdraw 50$, got again to 150$. Withdraw 50$, deposit 30$ ( stuff related to pacific administration ), got to 200$ withdraw 50$ and now I'm with 175$ once more.

Plus i got 50$ more or less on Ultimate Bet ( remember the 17$ rakeback i had? ) and some free entrys to the steps wsop tournaments qualifiers.

From 13$ January to 400$ February comes a long run and something like 10k hands.

I'm playing NL4 and on Pacific i', playing NL10.


Objective for February accomplished ( was 200$ mark ).

Objective for March updated, was 400$ now it's 600$.
