Kags challenge

Hi everyone, I am not much of the posting type but I read almost all. Well the good stuff anyhow.

Please excuse my writing and general awkward  way of getting my point across.

Its a work in progress I hope.

Recently We had a welcome addition to the HU hilo lobby, nothing major just some micro stakes added, the stakes now range from £10+£1 all the way down as far as £1.05.

This doesn't seem like a big deal to most people and I suppose its not, but for myself and a few others its means a lot.

Thanks tony and dan for sorting it with minimum fuss.

So seen as I kicked up a fuss to get this addition I am going to set myself a challenge.

Will post separate in my next post, think it might be easier. :)

    Challenge: €25 - €1000

    Timeframe : 1 Year

                                    I am going to try to achieve this by playing £1.05 and £2.10 games only.

    I know that seems like a long drawn out process but I intend to go ahead with it anyhow.

    I don't consider myself a great hilo hu player but I am better than the average tikay, sorry I mean joe.

    And in my limited experience its more about persistence in the long term, and I have that in my locker.

    I am going to try and make this an honest diary so my biggest challenge is TILT, which is why I am keeping it to the levels I mentioned above, also I am hoping by updating this regularly it motivates me to see the bigger picture when things get a little rough, which in hu is about everyday.

    Anyhow wont bore ye any longer I hope someone finds this interesting and if not, I do anyhow :)

      I would also like to add if any holdem players come across this diary
     and are wondering about this Omaha hilo, come along for a game either with me at the hu or there is plenty of dym,s running also.

    You will get plenty of advice if you need it, cant promise it will be accurate but advise none the less.

    Wont be answering too many questions on hilo strategy on this diary as in my opinion there is people way better qualified to give than me.

    Will start recording my results good or bad from tomorrow onwards
    And I promise to put all sessions in.

    laters

    Day 1      Played :  8 x £ 1.05 hu   

                                   won 4
                                   lost  4            br € 24.10

    In a strange kind of way even though not the greatest of starts I am happy with that, played no where near my best, mixture of tiredness 
    and high expectations I suppose from starting this challenge.

    Had some nice messages of support from some of the hilo dym regs which is nice as sometimes being a hu player you are a bit isolated.
    Even had a vote of confidence from footsie66 who is my mentor in hu he just doesn't know it:).
    Been watching his games for 2 years and have learnt everything I know about this form of the game from him.
    Surprisingly it has been more about the mental side of the game than the normal abc stuff. He is a class act and you never know he might even contribute here if any newbies or anyone in general have any questions about hu hilo.

    Thanks very much hotwheals, but unless you drop down a few levels are paths certainly wont cross.
    If I gain anything from this challenge I am hoping to teach myself that having a bad run at my levels doesn't excuse a leap up in stakes to play better players at higher cost. Even though to be honest that were I learnt the most from, but man it costs. Often built up I don't know few hundred quid grinding £2 games to lost it all over a night by jumping stakes.
    Anyhow I am rambling thanks for your well wishes
