Some thoughts, I guess

Since most of you know I’ve busted my bankroll a while back and decided to find a job (which perhaps was in due time anyways) until I get on my feet with a stable bankroll that I feel is strong enough to handle big hits. During this time I will do my job and make sure I have the income to get by when it comes to bills and such boring stuff.

As all of you know I live in Malta and is working for a sports betting company as a customer care agent during night shifts aimed towards mostly Canadian players.

It’s a job I feel is going better and better for every day that goes by, mostly because I’m getting more into how things work and I find everything quicker and this makes my workload easier.

Even though the salary is somewhere between “not so good” and “you think I will work for this?” I still force myself to get out of bed at 21:40 every night in order to get to work.
I know, but I have to…

When it comes to poker there are a few things going on in my head.

The first thing is that I’ve made up my mind about never playing online cash games again (except perhaps some HU on Svenska Spel), and only focus my energy towards MTTs since I feel this is what I have the best clue on how to become a regular winner at.

It is also the only thing that I over the years have won money in, both online and live, so why not try and cut out some of the leaks I have?

So the plan is to study and when I can afford it, get a coach in order to get me going and to help me spot even more of the leaks I have, and I’ve already thought about getting buffyslayer1 to help me out unless I find someone else that I feel might be suitable of course.

How to build bankroll ?

Basically I am going to keep working a start out building through small buy in mtts and take it from there.

I plan on playing the €550 buy in tournament Battle of Malta in November

I will either try and find a stake, or I will sell of some pieces since I at this moment do not feel I afford to put out €550. 

During the same period (almost) there will also be the Swedish Championship here in Malta, with a buy in of €750 and this is nothing I plan on playing unless I’m off during those days and I sell a combined package with both tourneys.

There will also be the Israeli Championship down here if I’m not mistaken, and if there is one thing I would like to do it is to have a couple of buy ins for the cash game during that time, since last year was a big party of droolers competing in who could throw the most money away in the shortest time possible. And yes, the winner was from Israel, they like to gamble I guess.

I also heard that there will be a few friends from Sweden coming down in November, which is always nice, and I will try to make sure I have time off so I can join them for at least one meal or two while taking some about nothing and everything.

When it comes to our living arrangements I am starting to think about maybe find another place to live after this month, but we’ll see what I can find when I start looking around.

I also heard that Fjuno has put his apartment up for sale and he might be coming to Malta again.
Normally I would scream out loud with worry that he would bring bad luck and destroy everything, but since I’ve not had any luck at all since I came down here, Fjuno might be the reversed curse that will turn shit around, and make it smell again.

Until next time, take care and kiss a stranger
