To dinner last night at the Sugar Hut, a Thai Restaurant in Fulham Broadway, where seven of us celebrated Mr Young's 40th birthday. An enjoyable evening, although I was a bit concerned about getting home from there at that time of night. As it happens, despite four separate bits (FB to Earls Court, Earls Court to Victoria, 36 to New Cross Gate and 436 to Lewisham) it only took an hour and a quarter. Mind you, 1am bedtimes are still not good for me when I have to be up the following morning at 5.30. As it happens I had an extra half-hour in bed to 6am.
The meal also followed a four-course lunch, courtesy of a data aggregator/consultancy. This was at Eight, in Change Alley, a weird dungeon-type bar/restaurant/club for members only. Bart Patrick is the Head of Risk at the company and I really enjoyed talking to him.
However, by the end of the day I fear that my stomach had expanded a couple of inches. Sigh.
That meant that I ended the quarter with a day of no online poker at all, almost certainly the only day in the past few months when I have been in London and played no poker.
I'll do the quarterly details later, but Cliff notes are:
Profit, $9,400, of which about two-thirds was NL cash, $1,000 was a freeroll tournament, and the rest was rakeback/bonus.
Hourly rate in the region of $38. Hours about 240, and hands per hour about 220. Profit per 100 hands about $17. (all from memory so the numbers might not quite add up).
Only one losing week (where week equals rolling seven days' play) and that was just $84, three or four weeks of more than $1,000, five or six weeks of more than $500.
Hold Em Manager EV indicator shows that I am running $1,500 "good" on Pacific (total profit on that site more than $4,000), and $1,800 "bad" on Pacific (total profit aabout $1,500). Running flat on Littlewoods for a gain of about $1,600, Stars is also flat, for a profit of $500 or so.
Party, Pacific and Littlewoods are all much of a muchness in profit per 100 rate before rakeback and bonus ($15 to $16 per 100), with Stars being about half that.
I'm now mainly playing $200 when the games are there, but that seems to restrict me more to Party than I would like. $100 Buy In on Pacific is better, solely because that's where the easy money is. At weekends, $200 games can be very profitable.
+++++++
My trip to Canterbury was enjoyable. Campus was there and I took some photos. More on that later.
