Another good day today and continued my epic run on the £1 Six-Max (Speed) tables!
Played 5 x £1 Six-Max (Speed) (results: 1st, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 1st) Played 2 x £1 DYM's (results: 4th, 1st) Played 2 x £1 Heads-Up (Hyper) (results: 2nd, 1st)* Played 1 x £1 Heads-Up (Speed) (result: 1st)
* Only play the HU Hyper games when I'm in the lobby, eager to play, and there are no other games ready to go!
Also played two MTT's: The £2.20 Deepstack tournament and the £250 Bounty Hunter (cost £2.30 to enter) - sadly I didn't cash in either.
Finished the day on £36.85, a profit from yesterday! First post to be updated now.
Have to admit, I had a great period today where I was running like god! Examples:
Have qualified for today's main event via a 60p All-In Satellite ... and that was while I was playing a £2.40 Satellite for the main event also haha - didn't qualify a second time sadly!

Got knocked out just after the first tournament break after going all-in with AK! Jeez, I really hate that hand, must have gone all-in with it now about 50 times, and I've never won with it -.- Posted by peter27
You're a Newcastle fan Peter? I shall be frequenting SJP for the first time next Wednesday. Also going to the home of that 'other' north east club in November, but you probably don't care about that

Yep, massive Newcastle fan! Ahh, you're going for the cup game against City? Take it you're a Man City fan then! I actually do like to see Man City do well, I like what the "new" owners have done with the club :-) For what it's worth I think you'll finish 3rd this year - behind Chelsea and Tottenham (in that order) - but I would like to see you win the league again!
Played 1 x 50p Six-Max (Speed) (result: 4th) Played 2 x £1 Heads-Up (results: 1st, 1st) Played 7 x £1 Six-Max (Speed)(results: 1st, 3rd, 6th, 2nd, 1st, 6th, 2nd)* Played 1 x £4K Open Super Sat (result: didn't qualify) Played 1 x £4K Open All-In (result: 2nd -> qualified!)
Sadly I was not able to cash in the Turbo, went out with the hand I often go out with in MTT's ... AK. It is worth noting that I am now including the satellites I play as part of the diary, at the request of the people reading.
* Didn't have the best day on this type of STT today by my standards, but my record so far (on this type of table since I started the diary) is:
1st - 7 times 2nd - 5 times ----------------- 3rd - 1 times 4th - 1 times 5th - 0 times 6th - 2 times
Or in other words, cashed 12 out of 16 times. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this record is amazing for standard STT's??
Anyway, finished today on £39.50. Time to break the £40 barrier tomorrow! Will update the first post now.
Another good day at the tables today for me - although didn't play too much, will be the same for the next few days actually.
Played 7 x £1 Six-Max (Speed) tournaments (results: 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, 3rd). Played 2 x £4K Open All-In satellites -> didn't qualify in either, only 60p entry though.
Balance is now £42.60, next challenge is to beat the £50 barrier! First post will be updated now.
Again, didn't play too much today - will be the same for the next few days to be honest.
Played 6 x £1 Six-Max (Speed) tournaments (results: 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 2nd*).
A lot of 2nd places and no wins today ... I had three bad beats when heads-up, it happens though - still in profit!
* Actually, I could have won this last game, disconnected as the chip leader with three people left (including myself) - I had double the stack of the player in second place too, so it was a comfortable lead. I also had good reads on my opponent!
Anyhow ended the day on £46.50, will update the first post now :-)
If you can play at 7:00, I ended up getting about a fiver from the 7 o'clock free roll a few nights ago.
Also the 7:00 freeroll for the 9 o clock free roll worth a shot 2!
Normally i'm one of the first few out of these, but managed to gain a seat into the BH a couple of weeks ago, didn't cash in the BH, but take that down and you are quids in! Even a few bounties and a Min cash would double your bank roll.

Thanks Larson!
I do try play all the freerolls I can, the only issue is finding the time - but yeah, they're awesome for building a bankroll :-)
Played 5 x £1 Six-Max (Speed)(results: 2nd, 5th, 4th, 1st, 2nd) Played 4 x £1 Russian Roulette (result: 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 2nd) - was on tilt with these, didn't work haha! Played 1 x 10K BH All-In Sattelite (result: didn't qualify!)
Also entered The Social FR and the UKOPS FR - even though I didn't really have time to play. Just jammed in both early on for no reason and inevitably lost >.<
Also, in the list I missed out one £1 Six-Max (Speed) game. I entered it and got a phone call after two hands which meant I had to leave the computer, at that point there were still six people left. So when I came back to the computer, I had assumed that I lost my £1. As it turns out, I finished 2nd! Poker is a crazy game sometimes ...
Finished today on £48.60, once again in profit :-)
Amazing last cash in the 6max there. I suppose 3rd place may have been "going for the win" trying to eliminate the other player knowing they would have an easy HU battle for a x4 cash instead of a x2 win.
You do see some infuriating bubble play sometimes, especially in the dyms so must be nice to be on the beneficial end of players missing an easy opportunity.

Yeah, actually at first I couldn't figure out where this extra £1 in my account had come from!! Lovely surprise :-)
Had a losing day today, but seeing as it's only the third losing day since I started this diary, I'm not too concerned! Was playing badly at one point due to a lack of concentration, that's the reason really.
Played the £10k BH All-In Sat - didn't qualify! Played 4 x £1 Six-Max (Speed) (results: 6th, 1st, 2nd, 4th) Played 3 x £1 Russian Roulette (results: 2nd, 2nd, 2nd) - tilting, didn't work! Played 2 x £2 Six-Max (Speed) (results: 2nd, 4th) Played 1 x £3 DYM (result: 3rd)
Finished the day on £46.50, will update the first post now. Got a feeling I'm going to have a really good day tomorrow, will try my best!! :-)

We're currently at the 1st tournament break and I'm 87th out of 239. Been a bit up and down so far, but I am slowly building so not going badly :-)
