A new Month, a new game and a new VIP status!



Well my dabble in Fixed Limit a few days ago seems to have developed into a bt of a hobbie. I was astounded by the hand selection of the majority of morons that are playing at $0.50/$1, that said it doesn't make it particulary easy, it's a mine-field at best but I saw enough to decide it was beatable. I took my $500 in Stars and took a blast, up to $600 and back down to $450 and back again, it's great when you win a few pots in a row and just as horrible when you get rivered by nasty gutshots (sadly drawing with correct odds) but its just so lovely haha!

As I played a few thousand hands I noticed my PokerStars FPP's and subsequently my VPP's sky-rocketing, but sadly only 2 days to make it to the next level before the cut off period, so I hate to get my skates on.

Last night, I played 4 tables for 5 hours straight at $0.50/$1 and then when it seemed like I might not make it I moved up to $1/$2and blasted my way to $100a nd SilverStar VIP status! YEY!

I'll likely go back to $0.5/$1 to build a roll but at least now SilverStar in the bag for a whole month I can work at getting GoldStar next month perhaps. Highlight of the night was the following hand, AKs capped preflop versus 2 other players, I flop broadway with no flush draw on the board (winner!), the flop was capped, turn and river I got 3 bets and they had 8,9 and K,9 for 2 smaller straights, 27 BB pot, love this game when it goes well haha.
