thanks mate, for sure avoiding your tables! hh; i know what you are saying, but it's good to have something to work towards. I think £400 is definatly achievable from a £1000 bankroll. Ultimatly, i would like to move up the levels at cash over the next year. That pretty much hinges on me improving a fair bit aswell. If i drop below 1k there would be no withdrawels. I do enjoy poker, especially taking money out! It's really sweet. I would never want to play poker full time, i'm just happy to take an income from what is a hobby. lol Paul i'm gonna post results in the other diary to keep me focussed and on track. Chinese Frankie seems like a cool guy and clearly likes an autobiography lol I remember hearing a story once about a poker player that owned a fish and chip shop, can't even remember the story was now but it was pretty funny, it probably was Frankie.

Fair play to ya, but taking £400 out every month won't be easy. You basically need to win £15 a day, every day, for the whole month. As you well know, there will be days when you call it a day £50/60 down, which will really hinder your progress. Plus if you're looking to move up levels, then you should be looking to grow that bankroll really. Constant withdrawals will be counter productive. Why not take out a %age of your profits every month? Just seems like you've plucked that £400 figure from thin air to be honest.
Hope that doesn't come across harsh as I genuinely wish you well.
Larson mate don't let the £10 loss get to you, you doing excellent with all forms of poker at the minute, I wish I was able to only suffer a £10 loss in my MTTs. remember me i once had £300 back in july but bad time in MTT got me annoyed and cost me massively. i would hate to see it happen to you. GL with this month. please leave the nl4 seats for weak limpers i need them.

Not at all mate. You are right it's definatly not easy. I based it on basically doubling what i have been doing over the last few months, or just more than doubling it. For sure going for £400 this month, i'll be happy with £300 or more but ideally £400. I'll soon find out.
As for moving up stakes, i keep an account that is just for poker, when that gets to 2.5k i'll move up stakes again, that's the longer term plan!
--------------------------------------
Cash or MTTs, I think i'm better at Cash than MTT's, but prefer MTT's. Cant beat the feeling of running deep and FTing and taking downa tounrie. As with now i think i'll just play a mixture of games, with quite some HU S n Go's, £5 ones.

Has been a good start so far this month with cash, mtts have been so so, mtt's played 7, cashed in 2, FT 1 going out in 4th place.
Cash has been really good so far. i'm plus 4 bi's for 10nl in just over 2 hours. I'm mostly going to play 10nl for the next week, with a bit of 20nl mixed in, and over the month move to playing just 20nl.
Hopefully i can run amazing in both to make up for October run bad!
Today i'm up 3/4 bi's after just over 2 hours - 2 sessions, i only got stacked once got it in JJ versus QQ on a 8910 board, all in on flop, hut my straight queen on the turn, board pairs on river for a FH.
I'm quite happy getting it in in this hand, even if called i reckon im about 50/50.
Bit bizarre theres all new regs i'm coming across at 10nl, who i've never experienced before. Standard is about the same as 4nl, just a bit better, regs seem to be pretty tight ABC players.

Lol interesting, wonder if there are any regs gone missing....

doubt it, take it they just play 10nl and i've not come across them, before i've only played master cash 10 nl lol
RTR has been going for months, doubt it has any bearing on much.
Hey mate, I've been absent for a week or so (not that you've noticed, I'm sure...) but I'm glad to hear the move up the stakes is going well for you. Of course, I firmly believe it is at least partly due to me not being on your tables, which shall be rectified once I get back online in the next few days!
Lasted three hours in the main after blowing 17k of my starting 30k when I flopped the nut straight, holding AQ, and called him down to the river, thinking I was trapping him... except he runner-runner flushed me!!!
8th in the £25 Saturday side.
6th in the £100 Sunday side.
So - profit.
...yeah, when you ain't playing well - stop. Or join liamboi11's table!

Another swingy day, started up down, then ended up a reasonable amount over all for the day.
Hand 1) It's a regular, when he calls my 4 bet, it's pretty obvious he has QQs or King's, pretty sure he'd fold Jacks pre, QQ or AK was my shout. Min bet on the turn, i knew it was queens or kings. People might hate this, but it was set up for the river, hard to fold queens / kings as played
With this hand, opponents range is really tight. I only have a pot size bet behind. If i bet it needs to be really small, or he can only call me with AK. He never has a flush draw here. Even if i bet £2 into £6 i'm pretty sure he'd still fold.
On the turn it's such a feeler bet, betting 10p, if i raise, i don't think he can continue. Just smooth calling set's it up for the river, where now he thinks his big pair is good.
I know your name, you're a tournie player? Could be wrong but pretty sure i've seen you running deep in some of the big games.
I don't normally like posting updates, won x lost x, but i'm terrible at recording results in a spread sheet , i've been sent through about 3 different spread sheets by 3 different people lol but i don't have a clue about spread sheets, so here it is for now. Really helps me keep track of what i'm doing.
I've not played many tournaments recently it's been all cash - outside of the monday night dtd games.
I love the £1 and £2 deepstacks, while the money isn't great, they are good fun tournies. There is a £5 deepstack, only played in it once there wasn't that many runners, i'll maybe have to give it another go at some point, but generally can't see many tournies i want to play with about a fiver buy in. It's mostly BH'ers and they are just tilting lol Maybe i've just not had a look properly, i'll check it out over the next couple of days.
Cash has went well again today, i was up 2.5 bi's, lost these, then this evening after the football ended up plus 3 bi's for the day.
Going to have a look at tournies, while a bink would really help bankroll, i think cash will be a lot more steady and consistant.
Bit gutting Celtic got beat tonight, just hoping we can get all 3 points at home against AC Milan and i'll take a draw in Barcelona :P
Thought you were on mini view lol i've been good thanks.
Sorry to hear you've not been feeling too good, hopefully things are on the mend and it's a good month for you at poker.
-------------------------------------------------
Today has been pretty brutal at poker, i ended up just over £10, but i was well up then had the most massive down swing ever losing all my profit and more, then a late rally turned things around. Pretty annoying when it could have been a belter of a day, but atleast i didn't end up down.
I played the longest sessions ever today, i would say about 6 hours. There was 3 hours where nothing went right which resulted in me playing bad/ making stupid mistakes. If anyone seen the TV programme there was a hand where it showed me limping with junk, 9 2, or something like that which was a total misclick. That was at the height of my downswing.
Since monday ive withdrawn £162, and my account is plus £23, above my starting bank roll.
I got lucky HU in the Orfie deepstack game last night, getting it in behind twice, to flop the nuts/ turn the nuts to take it down. This really helped my bankroll and always nice to bink an MTT, one of the best feelings in poker. Well on target to reach £400 profit by the end of the month.
The last week has been really swingy with Cash, but i have learned a lot. I would say I have lost atleast £70 in silly spots playing bad, if i sort out these leaks my win rate should increase.
MTT's only played 6 this week, 3 on monday and Friday, will try and get some volume in over the next month. I guess I see Cash as being more consistant (for profit) than MTT's. Will see how it goes.

See you soon, bud
What were you playing down at DTD? How did it go?
--------------------------------
Last night i ended up losing 3 bi's, but over all on the day was plus 2 bi up so can't really complain.
Funny, when it's not going our way, running bad, i tried to plow through it. I'm pretty sure it's best to just stop playing when it's not working.
Yesterday brilliant start, bad finish, but over all still up on the day.
