CHALLENGE IS A WASHOUT!

Welll, pretty much anyway.

Stupid tribeca moving to playtech, more of that later, has buggered up the challenge a bit.

The traffic on playtech is large with often 17k+ players, but for some reason this translates badly into the stt traffic with tables fillign up painfully slowly except at very peak times.

What is worse is that due to the absence of the transatlantic kippers from america that we all love nightime traffic is slower than the offspring of a page three girl and a chippendale.

This is bad news for the cat as I love slumming around late at night laying waste to kippers. :(

The PL om8 tables are pretty much empty bar the best players from tribeca so the value is pathetic on them now and i can't be arsed playing really which is reflected in the figures to follow.

On the plus side the mtts have good structures and there are plenty of 15-50 freezeouts which i enjoy. Maybe the site will grow on me......I do like the fact there are some 20 and 50$ plom8 stts to play.

Time will tell. If i can't adjust to the new site, ill probably ship my bankroll over to full tilt.


Anyway, here's the stats so far.

Stts
Played 169
Av time 30 mins
Profit $1901
hours played 84
ROI 49.9%
Hourly Rate 22.62$
Rake paid $350.10

Summary
Going well. Had a bad dip in the middle, which affected my ROI considerably but variance is life in poker. Finding the plom/8 games quite profitable. Overall i place 52% of the time, and finish 1st 24% of the time across all 9/10 and 6 handed games. This seems high but i think is maintainable. I wouldn't say I had run particularly good but i haven't run that bad either.



OM/8 PL Cash

Hours Played 13.38 (i know... nothing!)
Profit $222.74
Hourly Rate $16.65

Summary

Can't analyse this. I know my standard hourly rate is better than this but without the traffic i can't play so what u gonna do??!

MTTS

Played 19
Total Buyins $418
Winnings $975
Profit $557
Time played 30 hours
Hourly Rate $18.60

Summary
Again can't analyse a sample this size. Have played generally crap though i must admit. Had a chance to win the mansion 100k when i got allin for a pot to put me top 5 with AT v J8 but lost.
Variance again means i need many more tournaments before reflecting on these stats.
LOL donkaments is the phrase i beleive!

Heads up games

Only a minor change from before as ive only played 3 (lost 2 won 1)
but for completeness here they are again

HU games won 64.7%
Number played 325
Hourly Rate $32

Summary
I can obviously beat up the low levels up to 50. I need a bigger bankroll i feel before hitting the 100s.

OVERALL

I should stick to heads up and stts i guess! I expect my tourney results to get better though. But being able to 2/3 table stts means these are probably the most profitable.

Anyway enough boring analysis and numbers for now

Good luck kippers. Seeya soon!
