    My September challenges are:-

    1. To achieve my highest place on the rolling monthly stats on Aussie's excellent site. I am currently in 925th, but my highest placing is 61st. Getting there-up to 255th

    2. To win a tournament ( 1 tracked as being a £500-plus tourny). Done

    3. Final table a Main OR Mini. Not yet

    4. Play in 100 tracked tournaments. On track

    5. Average at least 0.5 points per tournament. On track

    6. Make a profit. Not sure-close

    So-getting better-let's see what Monday brings. Probably due a downswing day :)

    Very well done today phil, i did keep your table open after Rose was ko'd, winning that last hand couldve made a massive difference.ul. Bang on track.

    Thanks.

     Shows the importance of watching tables closely. Would not normally recommend shoving with A 9. However, when the same person has raised your blind for the 5th consecutive time, A 9 is huge. Anyone raising my Blind every time is going to get reraised a lot lighter than that ;)

    I wasn't wrong ;). Less said the better, though the fact that I am giving up for the day speaks volumes. Update after Tuesday

    My September challenges are:-

    1. To achieve my highest place on the rolling monthly stats on Aussie's excellent site. I am currently in 925th, but my highest placing is 61st. Getting there-up to 246th

    2. To win a tournament ( 1 tracked as being a £500-plus tourny). Done

    3. Final table a Main OR Mini. Not yet

    4. Play in 100 tracked tournaments. On track

    5. Average at least 0.5 points per tournament. 0.4

    6. Make a profit. No

    Not playing too much today, as my new "improved" BT Smart Hub runs worse than me!

    The Main was a little frustrating last night, in that I finished 4th. The big pay jumps are always for the top 3, so 4th is particularly frustrating. Nevertheless, it does help with this particular challenge. So:-

    Yesterday was a mixed day. From the perspective of the challenge, a good day-a 2nd, a 5th, and 20th in the main (from 9 MTTs).
    As a poker player, it was a tad more frustrating-played poorly heads up, rivered on a massive flip in the Main having been top 3 stack most of the way. I'm typical as a poker player:-I instantly forget the lucky wins when flipping (or worse), but only remember the other side of variance!

    My September challenges are:-

    1. To achieve my highest place on the rolling monthly stats on Aussie's excellent site. I am currently in 925th, but my highest placing is 61st. Getting there-up to 108th.

    2. To win a tournament ( 1 tracked as being a £500-plus tourny). Done

    3. Final table a Main OR Mini. Done

    4. Play in 100 tracked tournaments. On track

    5. Average at least 0.5 points per tournament. On track (0.5)

    6. Make a profit. Small, but I'll take it!

    7). Crush a PLO8 DYM, then hit & run.

    ;)

    PS - Very well done, was great to see you.

    That was quite satisfying-2nd ever PLO8 game. I can play PLO, but not much clue re PLO8. Sure i will play the (very) occasional game, just for giggles

    Better day-1 win, another final table and another cash from (I think) 8 or 9 MTTs. 4 from the cash in the Main-my A9 shove was called by an A7, but can't complain. will see if I make it back into the top 1000! Anyhoo, 1 of the Challenges done. PS-I think AceGooner is the only English person left with any association to the Woolwich Wanderers now Wilshere's gone.... Thanks for the good wishes

    Nice binks Phil, hope you hit one of the biggies before the end of the month. 

    With regards to your Woolwich obsession, had we not moved to North London the sum total of league titles for North London clubs would be a miserly 2 ;). 

    PS Theo, Rob Holding, Kieran Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson, Danny Wellbeck and the Ox are all English last time I looked. Bizarre statement.

    Thanks Sanjay.

    I'll give you Theo (even if he has never quite become the player that he looked like before signing for you), and Holding looks a good prospect. Your 4th is Jenkinson-you've got as much chance of playing as him :). The rest are, at best, squad players (and, at worst, sold to the first bidder). Don't you secretly wish you supported Spurs? ;). Anyway, thank goodness the football is back-I expect your lot to give as a lead we can actually hang on to this season...
