Now to recent results, I havent been able to play any where near the required amount of poker to be in with a chance of quailiying for the up your game free rolls so i've given up on them now and am solely concentrating on grinding the DYMs for profit.
since my nice satelittle win a couple of days ago ive only managed to play 13 games but won 9 of them for a tidy profit, gradually getting towards the 50 BI's for £5.50 dyms, still not to sure about moving completely up to them so will probably go back down to 2 tables at first and see how it goes to start, maybe play some £3.30 along side them.

Looking to get a lot more game in second half of the month as i have a bit more spare time and a better work schedule, and who knows i might even be able to break through the £300 barrier
another small batch of games and im dissapointed with recent results but my bad runs now are alot better than they used to be, i used to lose 10+ in a row while now that doesnt tend to ever happen (although im sure it will)
played a couple of bonuty hunters again and had poor results with only 1 head from 2 games, but made up for it in some HUSNG's which i tend to have fairly good results in.
Didnt get to play any poker yesterday but here are my results from the day before

was lucky enough to win another ukpc quater final seat, so going to try and sneak somne winning by sitting in the semi again, i did say in my post on the show not to enter me into the draw, but im not going to turn away free entries if give to me, so thanks alot again to the people at sky.
very enjoyable session today, played alot better than i have recently, and results showed that playd one BH tournament but totally flopped, and also flopped in the ukpc quater final that i was given a free seat into. but the dym results were much improved
No poker of note yesterday, i insteasd tried boosting my c4p to try and get into the freerolls, didnt go well, losing £22 for only 115 extra points, back to the proper poker today.
edit.. i meant to say i did this by playnig russian roulettes
short session yesterday, only the 16 dyms, also played some heads up games on my mobile while out but had no way of keep track of the results but they went ok.
another short session, with a few roulettes and HU games in to try and build up my c4p abit more ended in profit for the day again so cant groan.

100 x £5 games from 5pm Friday until midnight Saturday and your sorted mate
very good, and profitable session tonight, dont know where all the regs were but managed to avoid them all so that made the games slightly easier and it definitely payed of in terms of results.

I also accidently made my first withdrawal from my account after depositing to recieve free tournament tokens that were offered to me in an email, i was only meant to withdraw the £10 i deposited but took out £15 instead, cant wait until its in my bank im going to go buy myself something nice, all suggestions welcome
With only 1 days left of the current promo i have given up on the freerolls, instead my aim for tommorow is to reach 3000 points, a massive task but as the family are away, and ive got nothing planned except watching football im going to give it a good shot, by my workings out i need to play 133 £3.30 dyms or 81 £5 dyms so im probably going to move up and play the £5 games tomorow. may even throw in some hyper HU games as i do pretty well in them and they are alot quicker.
Did you make it?! Did you spend all your money? Hehe Posted by mrsduck
got absolutely no where near, however i did have a very good day at the tables, and it started of very profitably... then i moved up to the £5.50 tables and lost everthing i had made lol, althought in the 5 £5.50 games i played i got to the bubble in each and never as the short stack, but i happened to be the one calling the shorties all in, 4 out of the 5 i called while ahead and lady luck just wasnt with me for 3 of them and i ended up with a stack of 2/3 BB's and no option to shove. on another day could so easily have been 5 wins so cant complain and definitely havent been put off by the standard of play.
yesterdays £3.30 results and end of month profit.

Marchs goals, have a very busy month again this month, including a week away up to sunderland to visit some family (which will also include playing the forum DTD game in newcastle looking forward to meeting some of you) so im not going to get any where near the amount of games i did this month in so im going to set myself a more conservative target of 250 games this month but with aroud half of these being at the £5 level instead of the £3 level, im very confident that if needed i can go back down to the £3 games and build up my roll again should it take a dent, so i want to give myself a decent run of games in the £5 level to get to play people and take notes on them, allow for vairence etc to see whether i can make a profit at the £5 level or whether i need to work on my game some more before this is realistic, so with my br at £256 before the C4P bnous, im gonna say that i'll play £5 game but if i drop to £200 then ill move back down to the £3 games until im back to 250. so not allowing myself to drop below 40 BI's. hopefully this wont be the case but its best plan for the worst.
wish you all the best of luck for march! see you at the tables
So my first full session of £5 games is over, and to be honest i was a bit nervous about moving up levels, all my previous experience at in the £5 games had resulted in a loss of money, confidence and occasionally putting me on tilt but i built up the roll to play them so id be stupid to not atleast give it a shot.Well to cut to the chase it went really well, except for a patch of i won 8 of my first 9 games, and the one game i lost was due to this hand..

so not alot i could do about that really had a few reads on the guy who had been coming along to see most flops regardless of action, the board was quite draw heavy hence why i went for the shove (is this the wrong thing to do?). if i played this hand vs this guy 100 more times id probably not change a thing.towards the end of a session had a bit of a blip and lost a few games but managed to win a few after that so ended up with a very handy profit.

Just a very small session today before i have to go to work, but again a very good and profitable one losing only the 1 game in which i was in 3rd on the bubble when the guy who was short stack shoved into my QQ, he turned over 86 board was 8 x 6 x 6 , nothing i can do about that and got to the point were I'm very confident in my game so these things don't faze me as much.
Biggest session of the month so far and it was a very hit and miss session to say the least at one point i was £32 down for the day and considering moving back down to the £3 levels just to win a few games and get my confidence back up. instead i decided to stick to what i said i would in this diary and only move down if i went down to £200 in my BR, and t all worked out for the best in the end, im quickly familiarising myself with the better and more regular players at the £5 level, and i think more importantly im familirising myself with the players i feel i have an advantage over to and trying to sit with them as often as possible.
I finished the session with only 1 loss from my last ten games which helped me to end the day in profit, i believe this is the ast time ive ever had 3 profitable days in a row, and to do it just after moving up stakes feels good.
i Somehow managed to reg for a £3.30 DYM at some point during the day although how i have no idea must have been a series of misclicks, however i went on to csh in it, then used the winnings of the game to enter a 2.30 BH in which i went out first hand, with.. you guessed it AA AIPF vs JJ, not to fussed about it, although i really do want to start working on my MTT game and doing better in these, its not my poker priority at the moment, i think that will come when i finally get my sharkscope back into the green

for those intested heres some updated pics of my s/s graphs pre jan 15 and from jan 15, that i posted earlier on in the dairy, i still get grief on the tables about how much im down blah de blah but i've never been ashamed of it and i've always been open about it and the fact that i was learning (although i should of been more activel learning earlier on and i wouldnt of lost so much) so i think its nice to post them every once in a while to show the development i have made
Love the way you are patiently increasing your bankroll in those DYM's.
As you may know, I've been doing the same thing for 18 months now, & it's the most fun I've ever had in poker.
Every night I begin full of hope & optimism, & some days it goes well, others days, not so much. It seems impossible to have a nice, smooth, upward graph, but if we do the right things, it does, gradually, relentlessly head north. Or that's the theory......
