Hot weekend

I spent the weekend in toronto with my girlfriend. This normally results in not much poker, but she had to study for midterms for a while so I got to play poker for a couple of hours.

I was thinking - I have about 250$ on Absolute poker and about 350 on Pokerstars, yet I'm wasting my time grinding .05c/.10c on absolute, which is a fucking shit site. So despite the fact that I deposited 300 on absolute, due to my 150$ downswing in the first day of my deposit, I ground up another 100 and decided on sunday to fuck it all and just cash out. The play is tougher than at Stars and the software is balls, so it's not worth the 30% rakeback that I'm making at these crap limits.

I was going to take the 250 from absolute and move it over to stars so I can be sufficiently bankrolled for .10c/.25c NL25, but I think I'll just work with what I have at the moment, if I go through any downswing I'll perhaps make a small deposit just to keep myself comfortably rolled. I wish stars had a redeposit bonus :/

So I plan to build my stars roll in 2 ways:

10+.50 HU SNGs and 6+.5 Turbo 45-SNGs

This weekend I only played 3 MTTturbos, but I cashed in 2 of them. Both of those cashes were 5th place for $24, both times I pushed preflop with 33, got called by Q-9o and Q-7o and lost to a Q on the flop both times - it was kinda strange to bust in the same place to the exact same situation.

Busted from a STT when my flopped nut straight lost to a rivered flush.

I was also 7-3 in HU SNGs this weekend.

So, for the weekend, +79.50 with an ROI% of 71.30, so yeah it feels good to run well for once. I'm also playing fairly well and didn't run into too many coolers.

I'm gonna take a break from NL cash, it's depressing and slightly boring. Tonight I will hopefully get to play some live poker, I'm gonna go chill with some friends and play some billiards, if we don't play poker I'm probably just gonna come home and get high :)
