heffs976 Poker Blog: October 2012

So what did September bring? well this month was obv going to be a big online poker month with the 2 weeks of WCOOP so it was heading to be a huge volume month...... Epic fail on that note my volume was the lowest it has been for months only clocking up 770 games over all sites. I didn't even play much live this month either, the only events I played were the DTD £550 (2 days) and UKIPT Newcastle (5 days). I managed to min cash the DTD £550 for £1k lost a flip AQ<1010 which was pretty frustrating as the field was so soft and had a bigger first prize than UKIPT Newcastle!! Very good tournament though great structure and always gets the fish will try to play this as often as I can.

Me and the devil fish at DTD lol

UKIPT Newcastle didn't go according to plan, I went there in 2nd position on the leader board and was hoping to pick up some points at this stop, this was a fail I made day 2 of the main event but was out in the first hour. As for the sides didn't really get anything going made a couple of turbo ante levels but no where near the money in any. Since then the updated leader board has me in 3rd place still, pretty good considering I had no cashes next stop is the on-line event and then Bristol in November which I have already won 3 seats too (brag). Before this I am going flag hunting at FPS Morocco to play the 1k main event plus some sides, this should be very soft and might even see the outside world!!

Online Results

So rather than doing the graph for separate sites I will just do the graph for my global alias as there was nothing really exciting on any site that the global graph doesn't point out. But in brief I actually had my biggest online cash ever outright winning the Poker Stars Big $55 for $18,416.51 :) This couldn't come at a better time as I was in a massive hole on that site (Still in it!!) Felt great to actually win with no chop plus I don't thin k that with 25 left that I was not chip leader. I steam rolled the soft FT (obv ran well too). Didnt really have any other success on that site apart from the 3 Bristol seats and a few $1k cashes Total profit from Stars.com $11,904. Poker Stars France I actually lost money on for the first time on mtts my best result came in the first few days of the month coming 2nd in the Minuit Express (again) for €2,107. I did manage to get to Platinum VIP level due to playing 2,500 cash hands on the last day of the month. Total profit -$611.
888 Poker was again a low volume month but managed to win my first mtt on there which was a $16.50 turbo which I won $999.60 I also took 2nd place in a $55 6 max for $667 Total profit $70.56 Think I bricked every $100 mtt I played.
I only played 8 mtts on Party Poker loosing about $290 more volume needed for these euro sites!!!
