Confussion……and ups and downs

Sorry for the delay.

Since I last posted I managed to play a bit in Cairns right at the end of my visit to Australia. Singapore had wifi in the hostel, and now I’m luck enough to have wifi here in Kuala Lumpur (from the hotel over the road).

Australia, like most of the country, was a waste of time. Well some places up the East coast were excellent, but most were very average. I’ve heard that the rest of the country is better…..I would hope so.

Anyways in Cairns (the worst place in Australia) I had a bad run in the NL100 cash games. I have been leaving my bankroll short on purpose to maximise my spending money, so i knew I’d suffer eventually. Luckily I’ve been running well so far and cashed out over $1000 since i left England in February.

As I dropped from $1300 to the $1000 level, I decided to mix it up between $50NL and $22 6man sit & goes. I have been running bad in the sit & goes so far, so im not sure which game I’m better off playing. I read Harrington on holdem Vol.2 in Australia, which i think is excellent, so I’m keen to stick with the tournies at the mo. I’ll see if my win rate increases with time.

In Singpore I had a good start, but only got about 10 sit and goes in. I had a bad run in Indonesia during the 2 hours i 4 tabled the sit and goes, and i dont think i even won a game lol.
I’m in Malaysia now and I have a solid 4 days to play because I’ve had my credit card stolen and hammered by some wanker. Anyways I have to stay here to recieve a replacement, so I’m trying to fit in as much as possible, without couping myself up too much.

I aint had great results so far but its my 1st day of full on ‘work’. I hope to recover to the $1,300 mark by the end of the week so I can get back into the $100NL games later on this trip.

Bankroll $976
