Hi all so another month done and another succesful one bit more relaxed this one but still a solid 163 hours but alot less than last month when we did 269. Last few days of the month was spent at DTD for the UKPC tourney didnt go to well but met alot of new sky players and alot of the sky team so overall a really good weekend well done Sky another really good UKPC GG.
Highs :
1. Very solid Dym month.
2. Meeting some new sky players ( Poker Friends:) )
Hi all so just a couple of small Dym sessions so far making a tiny profit. Went to a local pub game with my dad Tuesday good fun and even made the money to make a tidy profit. Wednesday was good fun went to watch Man u with my cousin not the best of games but a really good atomshphere and thank you to Mata we got the 1-0 win. After that we hit some bars and then found a good nite club when that closed i went casino find a £1/£1 cash game running sat down with £400 and then cashed out for £736 then went hotel to get a few hours sleep before we had to check out. So going to take advantage of the double points on Dym's this weekend and then monday its lockdown time as im going to go pretty hard on the las vegas promo's.

I know. Hope you noticed I didn't quiz you on the £280 exs. I know "partying" can be expensive.

Finally reached the end of the Diary (cheers for not spoiling the ending).
Reaally amazing year last year mate, 40k near enough is an amazing achievement, and you have had a great start to the year too. Great to read this diary, it does inspire other people and it also helps them with their own game, seeing the discapline and the rules you stick too, to maintain your success.
Just wanted to say keep it up and GL, will see you on the tables pal.

Welcome to the Forum, Shelley, that's a cracking maiden post, & I agree with every word.
What an inspiration Timmy is, too, & it shows that nice guys do win.
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

Hi all were back lockdown has finished and we do it wiiii 1st in the Sng leaderbord for the Las Vegas Package. As you no I went with Sky poker last year so I knew how good the package was so the plan was go super hard 1st week and then have a big enough lead to take the foot off the 2nd week and thats how it worked out 1st week did 95 hours 8-12 tabling any Dym from £3-£110 and even turbo's which i never play wasnt easy at times but we got the lead we wanted and then 2nd week we took away turbos and just played my regular Dym's but still doing another 65 hours and then by Friday I had it won with 4 days to go .
Good luck to everyone in the 2nd chance Freeroll and then other players attempting the Sng leaderboard. Also big shout to JmcCrrirck for winning the cash leaderboard and my best bud Kgee who won the Main and the mini this month GG buddy.

I have nothing but admiration for your outlook on poker.
