Grant's Glasgow Banter
Santino67:
Many of you will no doubt know that, following redundancy from my main employment in Jun 2010, my bankroll took a bit of a beating over last 2 years due to only having a 12 hours a week part-time job for 18 months of it, up till january this year when I finally got back into full time employment. Basically any money I won at poker was used to supplement my income and keep me afloat. This has meant that my levels have dropped significantly and other than my 4th place in the opening week of the online league, there"s really been not much to cheer about.
So I"ve found myself playing these little low-stakes MTTs, needs must and all that, more or less to keep me conditioned till my full time wage levels out my finances again and I can make a reasonable deposit into my account(s). I"ve also found myself playing far less than I"ve ever done over the past 5 years and that can"t be a good thing.
Last night I"m quite chuffed to say that i gave my meagre bankroll a nice boost when I finished 2nd of 1865 in a little $1 Stars MTT for a nice profit of around $230. It was a long 7 hours grind, but for me feels very very worthwhile in the general scheme of things ;)

Cheers guys, happy with how I played and overall result. Hopefully can continue to build on it and get back to levels I was at in 2008/9 now that I don"t have to keep withdrawing the money. Nice play in the Big $55 as well Curly, you"ll run deeper again one of these days soon mate ;) Cheers also to Chas, Suzanne and GiMac who railed me for spells through the night, didn"t finish till 6.45 this morning so all encouragement was welcome ;D
