Hi all 1st losing day in 5 but only a small 1 so not to bad. Just a small profit on dym but any profit Is good profit. Tourneys had to buy in a few times in both Main and mini but sadly no cash in either. Gonna grind a little bit online 2day but then gonna go for a local game down the pub with dad 2nite as they run a pretty cool poker league down there and some good people so always good banter.
Hi all 2nd losing day in a row so not good but again very small so not to bad. Im having Saturday off as im going into town for some drinks with my mates so looking to hit a nice + day 2day so im gonna grind hard.
Hi all im back last session was - 3rd in a row bad times. Had a long weekend off celebrating my mates birthday so now I feel fresh and ready to have a solid week to end the month on a high.
Hi Timmy, we have played in £11 DYM's a few times. Very interested to hear you story. My current job is always on a knife edge and I am not sure if I lost it I could be bothered with getting another one at my age (52) so over Christmas I gave a lot of thought to doing what you are doing. I currently play most days maybe 2 hours and make money grinding away so maybe I could get the same results as you. I will watch your results closely. Not sure my missus loved the idea but hey.
Nice work mate, glad profit coming in at a steady pace.
Question......
Being a pro when do you withdraw? Do you "pay yourself" monthly or just work up to a set limit, say starting roll + 20%, when hit that figure withdraw and go back to base BR?
I have a question, dont want to get to personal, but obviously everyone has bills to pay assuming that every once in a while you have a losing month(s), what kind of things so you do personally to ensure that you are covered for this? Do you dip into your BR? Or is it a case of having another winnings previously to cover you until you turn it back around.
Hi all nice steady 1st day back Dym's was nice and steady. Tourneys Mini no cash but £4 in heads but finished 15th in the Main for £48. Gonna grind a little bit 2day but then heading to Peterborough Showcase cinema 2nite to watch THE GAMBLER and abit of food.

Hi Chris mc Nuggy and RLT thanks for your messages. I have a £5k bankroll for my Sky Account then if im above that at end of month that's my wages. If I have losing month I have years worth of bill money in a separate bank account. I also keep my Live poker money separate aswell. Hope this all helps.
Hi all tough day yesterday even thou we had a + £295 day. Dym's were tough could never get ahead all day then losted my last 4/5 games.

Up bout £1k at the moment with 3 days to go so on course for a +£2k month.

Hi Timmy
regularly read your post. my dream job if i was as good as you.
Did you sell the iphone & Itune vouchers together? the reason is i won one too and at present i've got it on Gumtree and the best offer for the phone has been £500. is it worth putting on Ebay even with there high charges.

Hi bud thanks for your message. Well im pretty poor on ebay so I got my mate to do it and someone offered me £680 so I took that and yeah it was with the iTunes vouchers. I gave my mate £30 for doing it aswell.
Hey man.Been readin this for a while now but never posted.Sort of lurkin in the shadows.Generally dont post on a lot of others threads due to having nothing more constructive to add to whats already there.However,a quick question man if you dont mind.Doin what you do,how do you find the transition from dyms to tourneys?Ive tried dyms in the past but tbh,they do my nut in in comparison to tourneys lol.Love bhs and dabble in a wee bit of cash(poorly i might add).Been reasonably successful at the small stakes bhs but eventually go on a spree at cash way above my br,then its back to square one(#sadface).Done this so many times it ridiculous.My query is,is it easy to separate the 2 disciplines or is it a case of being able to grind the dyms alongside tourneys and be done with it.

Hi all im back. So I only played abit online during these days I was happy with how the month was going so decided I was gonna finish the month playing live at my local pub game where we get about 15-25 players at times good people there so some good banter. On Saturday as I didn't have a footy match me and Kgee decided to have a ride down to DTD I was gonna play in the £110 Big game turbo at 2 and the the final day was at 5. Starting stack was 50k I made to the final day with 130k where the blinds went back to 600/1200 so loads of play in this tourney 30min clock 98 players left 20 got paid. I Managed to Final table but sadly finished 9th I was low the stack going in with 10bb losted 2 races. Very tough FT local players WADEY CHINESE FRANKIE AND JACK ALLEN but got £675 £7k up top sigh!! MONTLY RESULTS UPDATE NEXT!
So overall a very good start to the year. Highs for me was my live success 2 deep runs at Dusk till dawn in the Grand prix 28th ( Ukpc seat ) and the Big game 9th. Lows for me was playing HU because of team sky poker promo and losing on cash on DTD'S site instead of using the money Sats.
February 2015 :
So the aim for online pretty much the same not gonna grind super hard my target is to hit 20k points and haven't had a to many MAIN FT'S for long time so im gonna put a target of 2.
Ive also just started staking my best friend KGEE a solid small stakes player. His reason he wanted to be staked was to improve his bankroll management so with all the rules I give him I think its gonna help him a lot. You will see him playing tourneys £1-£11 and Dym's £5-£10 Wish him good luck in chat box he likes to chat to players.
Live weve got a lot going on I just started playing my local poker league game on Thursday's last 12 weeks good laugh down there. Hoping to sat into the £300 Deepstack at DTD this weekend then after that its the UKPC Mini and the big one UKPC Main which I cant wait for that.
