Catching up...

0

Have been busy grinding after a slow start to the year, and have been on a good run in most areas, doing well in both mixed games and sitngos. Finally won a bunch at 25/50 and 50/100 10 game so hopfully will be playing higher soon on FTP, but the regular games havent been going and the 150/300 and 250/500 is basically the same 30 people (and 20 accounts) so not played much on there the last couple weeks. When i have ive been playing more heads up, which will probably be the best route in future too.
This is also because i finally hit a good run with the sitngos and have been happily grinding away on them for SNE and the leaderboards, and am approaching 200k so not far behind schedule now. As for the year its pretty likely i will repeat SNE as its always nice to have a (nearly) guaranteed 150k and it isnt much work. Probably wont bother going for 1.25m VPPs as im already behind on that and I realised the way the Stars program works you get the same level of rakeback by hitting 900k by October 1st (when SNE runs out) as by getting 1m by then and 1.25 by years end, so at least i will be able to slack off and play mix games then.
Will be venturing back into the live area in May for the EPT Main Event, which should be good fun (will try to post daily updates). Monte Carlo was always a bit of a bore so hopefully this will be a refresher and I may even try and get to San Remo beforehand as I havent been there earlier. Going to try and dust off the live cobwebs in the next few weeks, thought about playing the GUKPT event last week but didnt even realise it was on until Thursday, which was of course St Particks day (as well as day 1A), and after a 'my big fat gypsy wedding' themed house party the idea of sitting in the Vic for 10 hrs seemed less appealing.
The 2011 SCOOP schedule is up, and there are a few nice mix game events in the early slots that Ill be going for the spin-up in, as well as more 2 day events so progress is being made there i guess.Unfortunately rather than being in the distinctly scoop-sized gap between EPT Berlin and San Remo, its first week overlaps with EPT Madrid for some reason so might have to miss a couple of events id liked to have played.
