    Oi.
    TK.
    Get wiv the program.
    We're waiting for you to play a bit.
    Thanks darlng.
    You'll be horrified to hear though that I can't chat at tables properly. For some reason, I can type owt I want in the chat box thingy, and pressing enter doesn't do anything. It sometimes works if I add extra fullstops etc, but it's just not on.
    Sort it out Sky! Someone deserves a kick in the hairy danglers.

    Good evening Mr.K

    Thanks for all the slendid work you and your collegues did over the weekend, please be careful with your entertaining as a slipped disc caused by doing the Hokey Cokey ( Or similar strenuous exertions ) can be most painful.

    Hokey cokey? Me? Are you serious Tom?

    Not me Sir, I'm more into break dancing, cutting moves, that sort of thing, bit of a Jason Nevins, me. In fact I feature in this video.

    Nope, still can't figure who that -1 is.

    Have a safe journey, Karen, & be great to see you return. Anywhere but here.

    Summarising July, up to & including 9th August. P 777, W 452, L 325 = 58.2% games won. Total profit - £166.56 Profit per game = £0.21 Those numbers include £16 from the Rewards Freeroll, & £49.12 in Rewards Payments. So those bonuses came to £0.08 per game in total. Current balance = £2,083.99

    I lost my way a bit with updating my numbers, think then above was the last Update.

    I'll try & get it updated until yesterday, which was the last day of August.

    It's not pretty reading - I lost money in August, which is only the 2nd or 3rd time since I started this I've lost money in a month. Pfft.

    When I resumed playing, after Vegas, the balance was £1,907.87.

    So since then, I have won the princely sum of £116.06. This includes Rewards Payments & Freeroll income.
     
    In August, I managed to LOSE £66.06.

    The current balance is £2,023.93.

    After Vegas, I initially went on a heater, & won over £200. Then came the freezer, & I lost most of it back.
     
    I have all the daily data, so I'll try & make some sense of it.

    I'm not actually sure why I hit this bad patch. It's so easy to blame variance.
     
    I am convinced my ranges are good, but at the sharp end, I deffo need to widen them considerably.
     
    Something is not right, though, I need to do better than this.

    I'm still unsure what went wrong in August, but I'm starting to think it was my old friend, lack of concentration. Sometimes, I seem to drift off & go onto auto-pilot, so I've been very strict in September, no surfing the internet, no you tube vids, no watching stuff on Sky Go.

    Also, not posting daily or weekly updates never helped - when trying to hit targets or goals, they really help.


    So, look away now, reams of boring numbers to follow. Eyes will glaze over......
