Grinding away

It's been a while since my last update, but that's because I'm busy grinding :)

Stars has an awesome promotion for UK players this month:



So in essence, if I manage to get 1,200 VPPs this month, I'll automatically get 60k VPPs credited to my account by Stars. That's more than half the amount I need for supernova!! So far I'm on track, and I'm pretty confident I'll manage to achieve my goal.

I won the $5 HUMTT (winner takes all) 2 days ago, which helped to offset a rough stretch of games earlier this week. I've started 2-tabling the $11s now, and if all goes well, I should be able to move up to the $22s aftere this weekend. So far 2-tabling hasn't decreased my ROI at all, but the sample size is somewhat small. I'd have to play another 226 $11 games to achieve my 1,200 VPP goal for the month, but moving up to the $22s would almost cut that number in half...obviously playing ~130 $22s until the end of the month wouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, running at 23% ROI this month, so can't really complain even if for some weird reason I should miss my goal.

Goals for May:

1) 1,200 VPPs+
2) Maintain a 15%+ ROI
3) Move up to the $22s sometimes this month

As for non-poker related news:

I finally got accepted at my #1 choice uni for my MSc Real Estate!! This came as a HUGE relief after having been made redundat at my previous work place in February. I've received quite a few job offers, but wasn't really excited about any of them...and I'm not someone who does something if I'm not 100% convinced.

The course stars in September. I'll be moving to Switzerland at the end of the month, because I got a pretty cool part-time job offer at a Hilton. I won't completely move, most of my stuff will be dumped at a tiny (understatement of the year) flat I'm renting for 3 months before coming back to London. It'll also allow me to jet back and forth whenever I feel to need to party :)
