Slowing Down For Vegas

Blimey, with all these riots going on around the country, it seems a bit trivial writing about wins and losses at the poker tables... but still, life goes on and all that. The day got off to a great start when I nabbed quad aces and actually got paid off for 'em! Not a huge win but here's yer screenshot at 6th street:

Huzzah!

But as time went on through the day, I eventually decided to cease my online poker operations for the month and to cashout my balance; not necessarily due to an annoying losing hand (although this did nudge me into making the decision) but mainly to protect my bankroll and to keep it healthy for Vegas. Yep, I've been very conservative with my bankroll this month playing mainly lower limits and just one live session (a £45 freezeout) but, with the help of both rakeback and the clearance of a reload bonus, I've managed to notch up a respectable £240 profit at the online game over the nine days. Here's a PokerOfficer graph, charting my progress:

So that's that. With online poker now put on the back burner, I intend to try my hand at one more live session before heading back to London and then onto Vegas on the 17th and that will probably be a £125 buy-in to a 50p/50p cash game session at the Gala Casino in Westover Road, Bournemouth on either Friday or Saturday. As I mentioned after my last live session there last week, they can stick their freezeouts right up where the sun don't shine.
