watched you play a lot and great to see a pro write a diary! I think that having a 15-20k profit is a VERY decent wage. People need to remember that is tax free, so if earning 20k net that is like a regular 30-35k job which is better than average 27 year old! PLUS........ that wage plus your doing a job you LOVE = priceless. Run well and look forward to reading the progres Posted by Nuggy962
Timmy can I ask please with the volume you play how do you decide what hands to analyse. Its going through them all that puts me off, I just tend to go for memorable hands. Any advice appreciated. Good Luck mate. Regards Danny

Hi buddy to be honest I'm really bad for going back and analysing hands. So sorry I'm not the player to ask about that.
Hi all so I'm updating my diary now as I'm on a alldayer 2morrow for my mates birthday Kgee will be there and he loves to drink sometimes pints of Jager so could be a very messy day. So I was after a good response to losing - £210 Tuesday and I got that with 3 very solid days and a total of + £671. I mite have a small grind Sunday depends how rough I am. Very big football fan so cant wait for all the games to start and I even like to have a bet not to big so the losses don't bother me. Oh yeah and some crazy news came in Sky have asked me to appear on there live TV show on Sky sports 4 on Tuesday 25th August bit nervous but also very excited. Hope your all have a good weekend!!

haha i would freeze on tv, would need a few drinks down me to settle the nerves.
well done mate really looking forward to that show!! usually your mates are supposed to go after you in the challenge 100 but think I might stay away as you would get half whatever I was to win anyway!! im sure there will be a few dym players wanting to get you though
Haha loving the tips liamboi, if you was to write a book I think I would buy it!

Hi all sorry for the lack of updates had a few nite's out with the lads Mum's birthday party and been spending a lot of time with my nephew. So as you can see managed a solid + £224 on dym's played a couple of hours of 50nl master cash a little bit of practise for the live sky poker show week on Tuesday and played the turbo Tuesday and made the ukpc final last nite for £24 but sadly came 10 off the seats. Sold my apple watch and then also got my ebay charges through for selling watch and iPhone 6 plus. I said to Kgee when I started staking him when he makes me every £1k I will get him a £50 gift so I got him the new Man u shirt. Went to say hello to some friends at my local poker league Thursday haven't seen them since vegas so had a nice catch up with them. So Thursday I will be heading to DTD for the UKPC freeroll got hotel booked for 3nites looking forward to having a good catch up with the sky players sadly I haven't got a seat for the main but I will be trying some live sats I will be defiantly playing the mini and some cash games so still should be a fun trip and you never no last minute I mite decide to flick it in to the MAIN. So just some steady online grinding for the next 3 days.

Again sorry for lack of updates. So as you can see I grinded and steady profit on Dym's flicked in the main and mini last sunday but no success there. So it was the UKPC 6 MAX but sadly I didn't bink a seat but I was heading down Thursday as sky put a quality £10k live priority freeroll + free food and drinks wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii tourney didn't go well but the drinks went down very well also got a cool selfie with Carl Froch who also played the freeroll and well done for WACKO for winning and taking the trophy home. Like I said the drinks went down very well so I ran into one of my bad hangovers so I didn't decide to play the mini which was the plan and headed back home the next day. So 2nite I will be appearing on Sky's live poker show on sky sports 4 10pm-12pm very excited but I am a little nervous. As your all no I'm a Dym player these days so I'm hoping I can remember how cash games work lol. Dontellmum and Liamboi are rumoured to be trying to get on my table I also told KGEE to flick £100 of his stake money on the other table which I think the player will be JAKALLY so hopefully he gets a seat that will be fun to watch Kgee likes to play pots.

Hi all just want to thank Peadar, Darkangel, Jonnyrkd, for the good luck messgaes and also JP see ya end of September cant wait!! and hi Tikay i was a tad nervous at the start but you and Anna made it so fun and made me feel so relaxed i enjoyed it so much and just want to say thank you Sir. Hi to everyone else if you watched the show thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed it. Sadly i losted the £100 but wow what a tough table Tommyd wacko liamboi dontellmum made a late appreance but rspca he played quality put me in so many tough spots on the river class player.

hi timmy really enjoyed the show always like the shows when reg players get a chance. ty for u comment mate. yes is do play the challenge a bit strange because i think the players on the show are under so much pressure u can exploit it. And suites a manic type of game. i normally don't play like that by the way :=). also gd numbers this month mate and even though i don't comment much i always read u diary really enjoyed it.
ps tk was bit agro to me on the show think he secretly wishes to adopt me. now that a scary thought.

Hi all Timmyrara here I always wanted to start a diary on Sky poker so here we go. My name is Tim Rowland im 27 years old from Boston ( Not in America ) in Lincolnshire. Out of poker I pretty much love all sports but mainly Football big Man u fan love my Box sets my favourites are Sopranos Breaking Bad and the Wire and i love a good drink with the lads. I fell in love with poker when I was 15/16 coming home from youth club on Friday nites slapping channel 4 on and watching Late nite poker and ive been hooked ever since. 4 years ago I started writing down every live and online session into a diary so I could show my family I wasn't a crazy gambler and I actually made money from my hobby. I always wanted to go Full time but the timing never felt right but Dec 13 I thought im not married and have no kids why not give it ago had a good talk with family and in Feb 2014 I was Full time I just missed my target for the year but still made a ok wage so overall I was happy. Started grinding 100nl 6-8 tables plus some tourneys. 1st 5 months went fine on cash but then seemed to hit brick wall for like 2 months so for the last 4 months I moved to Dyms £11-£55 I finished the year nicely with 4 solid months. My targets for 2015 are : Online Top 10 leaderboard on Sharkscope for Sngs Top 20 leaderboard on Sharkscope for Tourneys. Avg 25k - 30k points a month on Sky. Live Play more £100 + tourneys at Dusk till dawn Try sats to play to GPS Tour Gukpt and Sky events Im not a greedy person so my target for the year will be the same as last year £15k - £20k overall profit just missed it last year so with it being my 2nd year bit my more experience behind me im confident I will get there. Im not saying this is gonna be a crazy exciting diary im just a normal lad from a small town who loves poker and loves talking about poker and oh yeah im trying to make it my job. I will try and post daily hope you enjoy and thank you for reading. Posted by TimmyRaRa
You are a lovely guy to play dyms with,so wishing you a great end to 2015 and hpoe you reach all your targets
