    So Aussie & me - that makes 2.

    Phil suggested he had 6 readers.

    Did he go to the Diane Abbott school of mathematics?

    Maybe we need a boring accountant to mediate on this. Do we know of such a man?

    Any accountant can normally tell you how many beans make 5.

    For this, they normally charge you 6 beans.

    Hey Phil, Looking like you will cruise towards the initial goals you set! Good luck beating your best ever 'best player' position. Regarding your challenge in general... I think this is a brilliant way to help focus our play. You had the rough day the day before but can easily see that for the month as a whole things are going well. Sometimes the rough days can give us a skewed impression of how things are going but the challenge keeps things in perspective. I tend to have a good few days and then a really bad one, at which point I often throw the toys out of the pram and forget I had the good few days previously. I may pinch the idea and set some goals for between now and when the VLV live games kick off in July if you have no objections. Best of luck with the rest of this.

    Good going Phil lad, 
    It looks like you will probably reach your goals.

    There are many readers like me phil,
    that read threads but don't post on them enough.
    So I am sure you have more than 6 readers.
    I wouldn't go as far as to say, you have reached double figures yet,
    but you never know, who's lurking, GL, 

    Regards Alan ( plo8 champ)

    In Response to Re: Essexphil's May Sky's the Limit Challenge : hi marky, i went to see if you feature in any of the leagues and wasn't surprised to see that you do.  several times.  if you use the "Find" page you'll see. the one that you really must look at is the Cash %.  this is for 2017 to date to illustrate who has the best cash percentage of games played.  check down the list until you see your alias. then there's the one that shows.... ps.  excellent stuff. www.PokerSuperHero.com/cash pps.  oh, and you are currently 81st best player, one of the top 50 win% players and your points per game is in the top 50. ppps.  i'm envious.

    Many thanks Aussie!

    I play a lot of the PLO8 BH's which I don't think feature in the tracked tourneys. I see there are plenty of other things to look at though so will check in more often :)

    Excellent site!

    I'm surprised at you Mr Tikay sir - never thought you'd be sexist!  I'm a boring accountant and I also admit to being an avid reader of this thread :)

    Mr tikay sir-or to give him his ancestral title, Lord Teeks of Permafold-would appear to be snookered-how unlucky is that on a poker site?

    Hey Phil - I pop in and have a read, enjoyed the bit you wrote on 'The Meadows' and looking forward to meeting you out there.

    Some nice results as well, well played.

    Cheers
    Greg.

    Thanks for the many positive comments on here-much appreciated.

    Weak day yesterday-just the 1 small cash, meaning I rise up a massive 1 place.

    Day off today-wife and in-laws forcing me to watch Eurovision. Yeeuch.

    GL-Phil

    Don't like the idea of betting on Eurovosion. Half the votes are provided by people who watched a different performance to you, and the other half involves people voting for their mates, and the make-up of that half of the votes is hidden.

    One thing that fascinates me-why is it that British ex-pats never bother to vote for us? There are loads of expats in Malta/Cyprus/Ireland/Spain/France, but we always seem to do woefully there. Other countries expats seem to have far more affinity with their roots, as well as bothering to learn the language where they move to :)

    Frustrating day, poker-wise. 2nd successive 8th in the Vegas Main semi-biggest non-surprise was getting 2-outered by Mr Bates for about 1/3 of all the chips in the tournament. 3 cashes, but no Final Tables-closest was bubbling my QQ against a 22 aipf-meh. That's the fascination of poker-some days I really hate it. When I'm on  the other side of such things-not so much.

    So:-

    1. To achieve top 20 by end of month on Aussie's "best player"- (currently  420th)-up 2 places to 39
    2. To win 4 tracked MTTs-won 3
    3. To final table 10 tracked MTTs-7
    4. To FT 2 Main or Mini-1
    5. To end the month in profit-looking hopeful

    I'm currently still running slightly better than normal/expected-if this continues I MIGHT be in with a chance of beating my best ever "best player" position of 7th, but starting to look unlikely

    Phil

    Only played the Main yesterday. Overplayed an average hand on the bubble-such is life.

    Will play a few today, but not too many as feel I am playing sub-optimally (even by my standards)

    GL today
