Inglourious Basterds and running good

The last couple of weeks have been going very well for me. Im up over 4k this month so far, pretty much all at 1/2. Strangely Im actually playing less 2/4 than I was. Iv always had poor bankroll management control but tbh Iv never really had much of a roll since I started playing. Iv always struggled to build my roll, partly because I always have to withdraw money and partly because Iv only ever had a marginal win rate. I feel that my game is the best its ever been, although that could be because Im running so far above expectation.

Anyways Iv never really got over 3k, and because of this I was always happy to play 2/4 to try and run good and build it up. This approach lead me to going broke a couple of times. Now Iv finally got a roll that is ok to be playing 1/2 with, I want to be more sensible. But if the 2/4 games are good I just cant resist. I think 30 buy-ins is fine to be playing most stakes, especially in games with lower variance which 1/2 on PKR defiantly are. Some poker players will say you need more than 30 BI's but thats just very nitty imo.

I finally got Holdem Manager set up on PKR. I used to use it on FT but since switching sites I havnt used it as its not compatible and you need to get another program which converts hand history's blah blah blah. Anyway my HUD still doesnt work but Im not that bothered. I think alot of players rely too much on HUD's. I used to swear by it but I think you can miss so many good spots because your just looking at stats. I just want it to track my results and make it easier to analyse my game. I may even post some screenshots here if I work out how to do it.

In other news Im going to play pool for the brewers. Iv always played for my local pub but decided I need a new challenge. Although my team's easily in the top 10 in Pompey, the brewers are a bit better plus with me I think they'll be maybe the best team in Pompey. That might sound a bit big headed, but Im pretty awesome at pool. I know most of the lads and I think Ill enjoy it more which is ultimately what its all about.

Saw inglourious basterds tonight and it was easily the best film Iv seen this year. Quentin Tarantino is an absolute genius and, if possible, underrated. If you havnt seen it yet, I highly recommend it you do.

Gl to manic boy in the HORSE ftops 2nite as I have 50%. Be nice to make some money whilst asleep lol
