Poker Blog of the Week ... The Law School Dropout's Poker Blog
great poker blog kept by a law student who got fed up with the idea of a soul-sucking career in law and decided to do something about it. This is the tale of his experiences, starting out as a 2/4 grinder and moving up until he was sitting in $100/$200 and $2,000NL games, all within the span of about 12 months.



4kingpoker Losses ... No losses this week due to lack of play, hopefully I will get a chance to play a bit this week - I've got a bit of money at poker.com and a free $20 at party poker which I've played with a bit and was doing ok until I really started to treat the players with a little too much contempt ... but they are really really bad ... don't even need massive amounts of patience to make money there but you do need to make sure you don't pick up their bad habits.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... The $3 Buy-in tournament at Poker.com this weekend was won by one of our newer members ... gonhuntin which puts him in 3rd place overall leaderboard with 10 games to go. HarryLime & charterboss are in joint 1st place in the league both with 16pts.

This coming weekend 4kingpoker has another game at Poker.com this time a $50 freeroll ... The 13th game in the 4kingpoker Freeroll tour ... Sunday 6th August at 3pm EST.

4kingpoker News ... Having sorted out most of the changes to bigger text on the site now it looks 100x better and much easier to read than the original version. Still alot more work to do to get 4kingpoker up in the top poker forums but I think finally it feels like its going in the right direction rather than drifting. So much to do and just not enough time.

With the whole online poker situation in the US getting wierder by the minute, tales of panicing sportsbooks, an arrested company director and some of the poker sites in a panic about having US players it seems like things are getting all bent out of shape and not much perspective on the bill. The bill may or may not get through the senate. I'm no lawyer but as far as I can gather it won't end up getting through and most importantly it is very unlikely that online poker in the US will be banned.

4kingpoker Losses ... Unfortunately I've reverted back to type and played during the day instead of waiting until an opportunity to take the easy money playing in the evening. I keep sitting in with grinders and then losing patience. Now down to loose change at Noble Poker & not much anywhere else. I really can't see I'm going to get time to play at profitable times for the moment.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... Hosted a good freeroll at Poker.com on the weekend and it's good to have a tournie that actually went as planned. This coming weekend 4kingpoker has another game at Poker.com this time a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added ... The 2nd game in the 4kingpoker Buy-in tour which is on Sunday 30th July at 3pm EST.

4kingpoker News ... At the moment the site is a bit up in the air as I'm trying to clean the site up and increase the text sizes and make it all easier to scan. On top of this I'm planning to improve other areas and generally the backroom stuff is a hell of alot more involved than I ever imagined ... So bear with me.


 

Day 365 ... 4kingpoker Losses One Year On

One Year on ...

Well its a year (365 days) since I started keeping a record of my poker losses in preparation for the launch of 4kingpoker.com which isnt a year old until October. Having set a budget of $600 I think I ended up going a bit over (around $750) and had up until last night got only $50 ish left at HoldemPoker, less than $20 at Titan Poker & $50 at Noble Poker. After staying up last night due to it being too hot to sleep I ended up $250 at Noble Poker (same iPoker Network as Titan Poker). The net result approximately (as it's still too hot) is that the year of poker has cost me around $380 or £200 which is in my humble opinion a bargain for the amount of games I have played at least in the early days. Of course my school report would read ... "must try harder - Scrawnybob consistently plays games without due attention and is easily distracted by more important work"

• 4kingpoker Losses Update

I've kind of conveniently lost track of some deposits and losses at Titan Poker when I was depositing to payout the overall winner of the Titan Series II ... Long story short was I tried to play up past the $50 to give me a bit of money left to play with ... and failed then found I needed to have $100 in to do the tranfer, so after paying the prize I've got less than $20 ... oops

Holdem Poker ... $ 51.83

$5+0.50 SnG ... 6th ... - $5.50
$5+0.50 SnG ... 7th ... - $5.50
$5+0.50 SnG ... 2nd ... + $9.50
$5+0.50 SnG ...10th ... - $5.50
$5+0.50 SnG ... 6th ... - $5.50

Holdem Poker ... $ 51.83 ... -$ 12.50 ... total $ 39.33 (-$ 4.67)

I've been so tied up with updating 4kingpoker.com, badbeatornot.com & milliondollarpokerguide.com that I've only managed to play 5 games in a week ... And all of those badly. Gone is the $200 ish profit and now I'm actually down at HoldemPoker. I'm coming to the end of a year of keeping track of my losses and I'll have to take the extra deposits at Titan out of next years budget. My "New Year" resolution is going to be to only play when I can really play and to try and work my way through some of the outstanding bonuses I have lying around at a few sites ... but we'll see how well that goes.
