So my last post messed up and had to be deleted which means a few posts from the diary have been deleted which is annoying..luckily i saved my last post. Pasted below Made quite a few points over the weekend the accelerator yesterday certainly helped. So I was up around 200 on cash so decided to have a go at 50nl yesterday. Was going well initially, was around 180 profit and then lost a few flips and ended up playing badly so went from around 380 profit to a 30 pound loss which is quite annoying. Definitely need to stick to 30nl for the rest of the month but happy that I've nearly made profit. Posted the hands below of losses over £40. Any feedback appreciated, personally believe most of them are just coolers. 18/04 Current balance: £571.40 Cash Rewards: +£71.30 Cash: -£33 .91 Points: 2376 Total Points for the month: 9690 Profit/loss for the month: +£327.80 Profit/loss for the year: + £506.49 Posted by hhamza162
Apologies for the late update to any one who does follow this diary. Been a roller coaster of a week couldn't seem to get going initially but happy that I've ended up in profit. Made around 5000 points in 8 days so volume is good, aim is to try and hit a K profit by the end of the month but will probably be difficult as only a few days left.
Haven't played much over the past few days but off this weekend for the bank holiday so aim is to put some hours in tonight and tomorrow before the new month. Cash hasn't gone well, a mixture of coolers and bad poker. Hopefully can recover tonight.
So it's been a half decent month and hopefully it continues. Fell short of my target of £1,000 profit so hopefully can hit that this month. Very happy with making 16k points this month, may try and aim for 20k for May. Won't have time to play much today so hoping to put in some hours tomorrow as im off work for bank holiday monday.
Take this as a compliment, I thought you'd be up a lot more than you are.
16000 points working full time! Fair play to you, I find just making priority a big enough struggle and I guess dyms are easier to get points at than cash
I'm glad that it's turning around for you. Take this as a compliment, I thought you'd be up a lot more than you are. 16000 points working full time! Fair play to you, I find just making priority a big enough struggle and I guess dyms are easier to get points at than cash Good luck Posted by Jac35
Thank you first of all. I hit a road block for a couple of months and was running terrible so that didn't help but your right i thought I would be up alot more too haha. My target was to make around 700-800 a month so obviously way off that but will have to just keep at it and hope for a solid month. Yeah really happy with 16k points especially on 20nl 30nl tables and i only 8 table max as my laptop wont take any more. Good luck to you too mate, see you if your ever on the cash tables!

If this does occur then you will surely meet your targets.
Sorry Jac, as Hhy is on his hols had to step in for that tap in.

This was more aimed at him being mainly a DYM player than a shot haha
So last night went horrendously bad. Lost 400 just when things were going okay which is annoying to say the least. Has anyone had one of those nights where you literally cannot win a hand? Hit the worst end of variance last night I guess but just recieved cooler after cooler and lost every flip. The worst thing about it was I wasn't even playing bad so another night like that could easily happen again. Anyways I'm full of negativity after last night so I'll end this, will try and post some hands below.
Ended up posting quite a few hands there without realising and looking back maybe I could have folded a few more hands but it gives you a summary of the kind of night I had.
Had a nice recovery over the last week so back in profit for the month after the shocking start. Hopefully it continues, need to put in more hours to try and hit priority by the end of the month.
Poker variance is such a sh it. It's a wonder there aren't more broken laptops / computer parts or kicked cats due to the frustrations of those times the games slap us about for no good reason!
This one (below) must have eased the pain a little though? It certainly helped me feel less down about my own run-bad last night! The guy who hit quads was on another table and not long after this hand got it in set vs under set only to lose to rivered quads. Always somebody somewhere running worse
Hope the BR didn't take too much of a hit and you're running it back up already.
