Poker Addict Update

I just thought I'd update this cobweb-ridden space with some poker playing progress from my corner.

I still have managed to not invest any of my own money but I haven't been doing very well at my main hang out ABSOLUTE POKER of late.

Poker Bankrolls

Absolute Poker - $69.95
Panther Poker - $15.25
Poker Pages - $2.40

I've basically lost all the money I had on Superior Poker in my tailspin I hit a month ago so I haven't listed that since it's less than $0.25.

The money on Poker Pages although small is the result of a recent 3rd place finish in one of their $30 Freerolls. I have approximately 600+ points on their system which could be transfered into $6 of real money. Which would give me a grand total of $8 on their system. Those points come from a 2006 WSOP Round One Warm Up Tourney I placed 1st in. I've lost over 100 points just getting used to the players on their site who play pretty loosely with their points.

I've been slowly recovering from losing over $15 on Absolute and have been spending most of my time playing Sit & Go's for Points on Poker Pages re-tuning my game so I play more patiently when I play on Absolute for money. So far, it's translated pretty well and adjusting my game style has led to losing points rather than potential money. My goal on Absolute is to eventually crack $100. This goal has become more long term since I have limited my play there.

Panther Poker, is a roller coaster ride. I was peaked on their system at $35 and have taken steady beating on their ring tables to bring me down to $15. I really miss the Freerolls for money since they joined the same network as Poker Room.
