The rakeback has come though but it didn't last long. I had about $3 left after yesterday, with the rakeback that makes $46.

I bought in for $20 on a 0.25/0.5nl table. Ground it up to $42 and came off. Bought into another table with $20. Lost that with 88 on a board of JJ8 - he had JJ.

I bought in for another $20 and lost with 77 to AQ on a 45Q6J board - the money went in on the turn. He had raised pre flop I called from the button. He made a 40% of pot bet on the flop, which I though was an AK continuation bet. He bet about 25% of the pot on the turn - I raised all in, he called.

So I had a crack at pot limit omaha. Ground the $20 buy in up to $38. Lost 2 pots with busted flush draws.

With $23 left I get Kd Kh 9d 10d in the big blind. Button and SB call. I raise to 2. SB calls. Flop 6d 10h 6c. He bets 6. I raise all in. He calls. Shows 10c Qc Qs Ah.

I am a 58.85% to 41.14% pre-flop. When the money goes in I am a 72.88% to 27.12% favourite. I reckon that's about as good as it gets with Omaha post flop.

Turn is a 10 and I lose with a worse kicker. I say unbelievable. He says what you getting upset about you can't get upset cos you lost with a pair of kings. I point out that I had a set too.

I then rebuy for my last 8.35 on a 0.1/0.25 omaha table. Grind it up to 14. I lose half with top two pair against trips - I have Ah K h 8d 8s - flop is Ac Kd 6h - so I have 6 outs for a full house, but don't get there. He thought he had quad 6's (but you can only use 2 from your hand donk - beaten by an idiot, grrreat).

I lose the rest to the same player three hands later when I make a straight against top two pair - all the money goes in on the turn and he hits his 4 outer for a boat.

The only good news is that my Dise withdrawal had made it to Neteller. I have now withdrawn the other £250 or so. I should have about $920 when its all there, which I will put in Full TILT poker.

I still have about $650 more than when I started this blog. [And I am $469 up for live play too].

I'm going to try a few free-rolls on Dise. The $2,500 ($1,000 for first) had about 260 runners last night and is still good value - particularly as they have reduced the buy in to 500 points from 1000.

I think the problem with all this is that its hard to keep grinding at the lower limits. My play has deteriorated massively over the last month. I have to get up to the next level, but that's now miles off - I need $2500 (or at least $2000 to try that).
