Aces and Agony - An APAT'ers blog of the highs and lows of poker ( and life!)

Just 2 quick 8 game sessions tonight, cashed in dead on half of them for a modest increase, nearly making up for the horror last session last night.
Games played: 144
Bankroll : $148.58 (-$4.38)
Got the joy of joys on Friday morning, a store visit from senior management. Everyone will be rushing around like crazy, whereas I"ll continue as I always do.. I don"t change how I am for any visit ( and once got praised by the no 2 in the company for telling him to get out of the way as I was serving a customer and he was getting in the way of me doing so!)
What it does mean though, is that I"ll probably not get much chance to play until the weekend which sucks.

It"s been a bloody tough week at work, so no real chance to grind.
Not managed to play for 3 days, so just to keep in touch, put a small session in tonight.
Played 2 sets of 8, won 2 and finished 3rd in both sets for small profits, and it managed to get back from the horror session.
Games played: 160
Bankroll: $153.12 (+0.16)
Great win rate ;D

Hopefully I"m starting to get the hang of these $1.50 turbos.
Over the last 48 of them, I"m $27 up which isn"t too bad, 12 wins, 5 2nds and 4 3rds. Winning 25% I enter, and cashing in just under 45%.
Starting to get to know some of the regulars which definitely helps.
Games played: 176
Bankroll : $167.19 (+$14.23)
Hopefully be able to grind a hell of a lot after work tomorrow, don"t tend to arrange anything for after work. I"m off work on Monday but think I"ll be spending it sleeping!

Not managed to update for a while, not going to tonight either, as it"s the Friday night donkathon at the G in Manchester!
Will be updating where I"m up to tomorrow, and my plans going forward.
Loving the tour for season 6 and will be attempting to play as many as I can this season!

Last grinding update was on the 19th Feb. Since then, I seem to have worked every hour under the sun, discovered pokerstars mobile ( a great way to spend travelling home), and not really had any time to relax.
I"ve got the weekend off, am working Monday morning, off Tuesday, and not in until Wednesday afternoon, so I"m hoping to have a lot of downtime.
Plans for today are, watching the rugby until about half 5, watching City hopefully destroy Blackburn, then to the G in Manchester for poker tonight.
Will spend the time watching rugby playing the grind.
This is where we are up to so far:
Games played: 274
Bankroll: $148.81 (-$4.15).
Looking through the results, I"ve been as high as $170 with the roll. 7 out of the next 10 8 game sessions were losses, which is very frustrating to say the least!
What I"m going to do going forward is
Continue these till the end of the month to see where I end up. The lure of the micromillions on stars ( and being off work for the majority of these) means I"m definitely going to be playing a lot of this.
Will I stop playing stt"s? No. What I will be doing, is taking advantage of the deposit bonuses with William Hill and working them off on there. How much I will put on there, and the level I"ll be playing at will depend firstly on whether or not I can make Coventry ( which I"ll know on Monday) and whether I plan to spend my time off going off to play poker somewhere ( probably DtD if I do), and lastly, if anyone would have the confidence to add to my bankroll and stake me at a higher level. I"m not going to specifically look for staking, as at the levels I"ll be playing at, I can"t imagine massive profits instantly, but you never know!
