I've graduated from Otago University (NZ) with a BCom (finance econ). Work in the Finance industry since 2007 so only took me a year and a half to completely ruin the global market, pretty pleased with myself there! I don't know what I want to do with myself........

Wow long time no post

Ok so after never updating my blog in a looong time im gonna try and post frequently, probly too much!!!



Ive set up a new account at pokernortica as its a skin of poker.com and I was able to use the initial depositors coupon for a sign up bonus. Played approx 190 hands on 2 Pueblo tables (6 man 0.5/1 NL 6 max) brought in for $100 on each and came away with $139.72 and $67.23 after being up to $200 and down to $30 on each table.



This set me on a tilt to the BJ table as I wasnt happy at how I lost a few pots just before leaving, details below. I said to myself, fuck it I'll bet one fat $25 bet and if i win $10 afterwards for a while until im up a bit of back level, or quit if lost the first. Hand didnt look good with a 4 vs dealers A but managed to hit to 20 and win. Before you start lecturing me, I know BJ is bad and im trying to phase it out!!! but self control avades me sometimes.



So I got back up to $275 which was my high point for poker so I called it quits and didnt want to get greedy.











Hand highlights:



Top left: dont call a bluffer at poker.com, he will hit!!! feared AK a lil' bit so I didnt go all in on river, but quite tidy for a $33 pot (called $2 from SB, bet $3 (call), bet $4(call), bet $8(call)]



TR: Reraise from SB from $4 to $10 (call), check flop, call all-in opponent AJ. pot:$68.72



BL: Raise pre-flop to $3 (call) flop $2 (call) turn $2 (call) river bet pot - $15.5 (call) pot:$44.5



BR: preflop: limp raise pot (13.5), flop (all in 32.41) call. ohh MF!!!!







Was quite upset at the last hand as I was gonna leave the next hand as I said one more round, and I was UTG. Decided on the limp raise because table was loose and villian was actually going all-in frequently and table was raising pre-flop often. Unfortunately this guy got lucky on the flop and the table/his image helped him in making the call. I probably would make this call anyway unless said player had me matched in $$$ because I would probly put them on at least a nut flush draw and not worth the risk.






In other news I have graduated from Otago University, and now work for Guardian Trust in Auckland, NZ. Pretty decent salary and the like and im enjoying what im doing which matters most. I intend to study some papers later in the year as we have $2000 study grant and $500 bonus for each paper passed so I'm probly gonna try and do 2 papers extra-murially. Im also thinking of alternatively doing my CFA's which will be hardout so I will have to do some research into that.
