Good Morning,
21st January 2016 this is the day I commit to making a full time diary on Sky. I will pull no punches I will hide no lows and I will share any highs. Everyday I will try to document results and my thoughts.
About me
by nature I am a gambler not really the best trait to have as a poker player, I found poker through a combination of a friend introducing me and me deciding I liked the idea of being able to gamble whilst actually making money instead of feeding it to a slot machine.
To give you the kind of scale of my gambling issues back in the day I once lost £1650 playing UNO... I s * * t you not.... UNO
I class myself as a decent poker player who still has a ton to learn, I would say my learning is possibly slower than what it should be as I have never been able to dedicate myself to one format..... I will play Holdem omaha razz stud Cash/SNG/Tourney.
I have had a few decent results with MTTs lately including 2 five figure scores Half of which has been withdraw and half of which is now my bankroll.
Goals
No real goals just to make as much as I can and add more volume that I put in in 2015 - I have a full time job so have to rely on the ability to play 10+ tables to get decet volume in an evening.
To post all results including when I lose my head and take shots at £5 / £10
To make sure I play the UKPC live event (ideally would love to play the high roller also.... my girlfriend may have different views on this)
The only real goal I have is to make the top 5 of the sharkscope leaderboard which could be pretty hard as I play probably 1/10th the volume of some of the regs but I do have the advantage of not being a rake grinder. (19th on the board at time of writing so work to do)
The majority of my volume will be Heads up Hypers and DYM mid to high stakes.
In the words of Mike Sexton.... may your cards be live and your pots be monsters

Hi Steve - be great if you could be at the UKPC. If you do, make sure you come & say hi.
Steve, I'm 100% not mocking, as I know you struggle a little with grammar & the like, but the way you have set out the OP is spot on, & makes it so much more readable. It does take a little effort at first, but it soon becomes a habit, & is worth the effort.
Well done bud, & it will result in a far wider readership. It's so hard to read a wall of text, & paragraphs etc make such a difference.
I hear you Danny Steve.
Over-reliant on spellcheck? Not possible. Keep using it, no shame in that.
I have a different problem, I spell wonderfully, but I type terribly, (fat fingers, age-related loss of dexterity), so typos creep in all the time, &, human nature being what it is, Team SmartAlec always point them out.
A well known poker player, & a close personal friend of mine, Alex Goulder, wrote just about THE most beautiful article for me on another site about 2 years ago, it was breathtakingly good. And Team SmartAlec (who had never ONCE wrote anything of note) replied to that 700 word masterpiece with this.....
"You wrote "its", but it should be "it's".
That was it. I swear to God, I could chin those sorts, they never do anything themselves, but nit-pick those who do.
