Just returned from a fabulous 15-day holiday in Florida which took in a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas as well as visiting many of the Orlando area’s attractions.
I missed my target for the Disney challenge by about $600 in the end, although I did manage to win about $550 on the electronic poker table in the casino on the cruise ship Carnival Sensation.
This was without doubt the softest game of NLHE (blinds $1-$2) that I have ever played in. The only problem really was that most of the players bought in for the minimum of $40 and the players were loose / passive so it required a fair bit of patience to win the money.
As far as playing on an electronic table goes, at these stakes with beginner players, I am all for it. The main advantage over the dealer-dealt game is the pace of play. The only disadvantage really was the high rake (10% max $6) although most players were so bad it wasn’t tough to beat and there was no dealer to tip.
We managed to spend a fair bit of money on the trip and so the bankroll must take a hit to cover it. I have withdrawn just over $5000, leaving a roll of just $6000. This means that I need to go back to grind-mode. For the coming weeks I will be 3-or 4-tabling full-ring PLO $200.
My next goal has been set: YTD winnings to be $14,000 by the end of April. I believe this is realistic but I will reassess at the end of March: if it starts to look too tough or too easy (unlikely) I will set another target up until the end of May. The aim is to have a bankroll of somewhere near $20k at the end of May, as I will need to restart regular withdrawals for monthly expenses.
