A bit un-representative. I got called away within the first five hands and had to go - unavoidable circumstances. Someone jammed on me and I just called because I needed to go, did have AQ un-suited but it wasn't good enough!
Played 1 x £200 Bounty Hunter (result: out fairly early) Played 1 x £100 Deep Stack (result: 9th/92 for £5.98)
Another cash in a deep stack, really starting to think I've found my niche in poker. Considering doing another mini challenge, playing 100 Deep Stack's, thoughts?

Gl, on your mini challenges, remember your notes was reading earlier, one thing I'm pretty hopeless at, but do seem too remember most players I come a cross , but set the colour codes as well, red = honkin green = friendly or team member. Yellow = good. Blue = I like this players name.....
In all seriousness though, it is something I have too work on if I'm going too be playing cash more regular.

Day 154(Wednesday) Played 1 x £2.20 @ 2:20 (result: 32nd out of 211)*** Played 2 x £3.30 Double Your Money (results: 1st, 5th)
*** needed top 23 to cash, but I'm still very happy - out lasted a lot of top players and played well. Another bad beat.
**** The figures in my previous update were wrong, fixed now.
Balance now £78.17. I am losing money at the moment, but I do feel like I am playing very well and I am taking comfort that the majority of my knock-outs recently have been bad beats. Most of the time I am getting my money in while ahead and that's promising :-)
I keep getting close to £100, but then drop quite significantly - getting a little annoying! I'll keep pushing though :-) Balance now £70.87, will update the first post now.
Been away for a while for many reasons; busy at work, the World Cup, spending time with the girlfriend etc. etc.
Anyhow, I've got the poker bug again so I'm going to start playing a little more. Don't think I'm going to limit myself to a specific type of poker, just going to play whatever I fancy for now and have fun :-)
Will still be updating my progress of course. At my last update my balance was £70.87, I have withdrawn some of that to leave a nice round £50 in my account. Will update the first post now!
Feel free to leave me messages and let me know how you guys have been :-)
Played 4 x £5K Turbo Direct (results: 1st - qualified, 7th, 7th, 8th) Played 1 x £5 Double Your Money (result: 5th) Played 1 x £5K Open Super Sat (result: 12th) Played 1 x £5K Turbo Open (result: out early, KK got beat by AA) Played 1 x £300 Gtd (30 mins) (result: out early) A poor day in terms of my balance, but I did have lots of fun! Balance now stands at £31.50, will try build that back up today :-)
This hand pretty much sums up the luck I had yesterday:
Time to stop the sats with that bankroll peter! Posted by jimb0d1
You're right, I am not properly following BRM since my comeback. I have decided to focus on enjoying my poker for now rather than specifically aiming to increase my balance.
Satellites and MTT's are my favourite form of poker, even though DYM's are probably more profitable for me - sometimes I just get fed up and bored of DYM's though
