she's not silly lol... She got me a gooden another time i was playing too..! she was looking at weekend trips away and I stupidly agreed to her booking somewhere without seeing what she had booked... well lets just just the 3 nights in a 5 star hotel on its own private island, with a Michelin star restaurant and private transfers, wasnt the cheapest 3 nights i've ever had..! Its was amazing though i must admit.
Agreed, my missus always seems to get me to agree to anything when i’m grinding.....my hobby is wood carving-chisels, TK, chisels.....
what kind of things do you carve? Im currently in-between making a bespoke coffen table for the front room or just buying one. The idea of making one seems a nice touch tbh, But if she turned round and said she didnt like it, Id probably carve my way out the relationship lol.

....or just put her in the coffin table.
Didnt think I had seen you on the tables for a while, then you popped you on a couple of mine (like buses?). You will have to start grinding 24/7 to pay for holidays like that......or save them pound tokens from a daily newspaper and go Skegness for a w/end.

hahha yea might take her skeggy nxt time.. she is on a holiday booking ban now however we've just come back from mexico and we've booked Amsterdam and Miami, over the nxt couple months and would love to squeeze in vegas somehow..
any vegas sats this year @Tikay10 ?? need to bink one preferably or ill be eating beans on toast for a long while
really good session last night and this morning @mainly 30nl.. i must say the day time games are much better than at night as although theres more tables etc.. most of them are filled with regs later on which is the opposite during the day.
I did cut my cash session short last night and possible got ahead of myself a little bit as i regg'd the main (£33) and also the road to Manchester (£20) which both are too high a buyin for my roll but as I was winning and confidence was high I did t mind so much.. I was only going to play the Manchester sat, as I would love to bink a seat there! but ended up playing main and mini also as i would love to win both of them too and why not? we'd ship an extra 5k for doing so.. maybe thats an idea for a prop bet? win the main and mini within a year.. who wants to lay me odds for that?
In other news we have surpassed our target of £750 so can now add 50nl tables into the mix, which will help on table selection etc. Going forward in this challenge the next milestone would be £1500, If and when we get there I will see if we want to increase the amount of buyins per level due to tougher games and probably higher variance but will cross that bridge as and when.

You thought about streaming some cash poker?
yea mate I have thought about streaming and I probably will start soon.. I'm going to be building a new set up so once that's all sorted I'll probably do regular streams.. I haven't look into it too much yet so haven't a clue how to go about it so any suggestions will be welcome
Had a small session which didnt go well at nl50. I quickly dropped 1.5 buyins just having 2nd best hands at showdown and Having just got back from a few days in nottigham playing some events at the ukpc, its fair to say i havnt recovered fully yet. I dont play enough on the live circuit but know a lot of the regular crowd so the antics are draining when we away for 3 or 4 nights at a time. I bricked all the tournaments and only had one cash session which actually got me out the hole for the trip (covering all expenses and buyins). So still feeling a bit fragile I stopped playing online when I returned and proceeded to get some much needed sleep

Feeling slightly fresher (hangovers last a long time when you get older) I again attempted to make some headway with the challenge. continuing with some nl30 and shot taking nl50 it seems were running on the wrong side of things, constantly making 2nd best hands and not really making the best decisions post flop. We again drop 2 buyins so firstly will be dropping back down to 30nl to ride it out and recoup some losses. The games are pretty much filled with the same players but as were not playing our best and running slightly bad, taking lower variance routes will be beneficial to the challenge. Over the next day or so, I want to set some short term goals and have a big push volume wise. I played a few MTTs last night and qualified into both the 8pm main and £110 summit, through the late reg semi. I got fairly deep in the main but ended getting in AK>A8 but made around £50 in bounties. After bricking the rest of the tournaments I feel like we will be sticking to cash games for the near future of this challenge. Although I do love playing MTTs, some times I just feel so deflated after constantly busting everything and although that's the nature of MTTs, I dont think I could constantly play them day in day out.
My plans for the next day or so is to go over some hand histories inbetween playing, see what parts of my game need some help and where I leaking the most money. I will be dropping back down to 30nl or lower so I will be seeing what works best at these levels and hopefully get back on the winning side of things again. Like I said I havnt been able to put tons of volume in over the last few weeks but Intend to play a lot this next month online. Having a look at the live games its only GUKPT manchester coming up and not much else, but to be honest, living down on the south coast, everything is so far away..! I fully intent to stick online next month so will see you at the tables.
wasn't able to get tons of volume in this weekend but after a negative couple of sessions at 30nl and after two previous failed attempts adding 50nl, we're back on track and will once again be shot taking at 50nl again.
Sundays are normally one of the few days that I would mainly play MTTs, obviously chasing the dream, and the big(ger) money that's on offer, however Yesterday I decided to miss MTTs entirely however and just carry on with cash games for the purpose of this challenge. A decent session wining 5/6 buyins means that we can now have another go at 50nl and see If we can actually stay there for more than a day, before returning down to recover any losses.
Unfortunately for me, I dont run good enough and havnt gained entry to the road to Manchester but last chance saloon I think will be the satellite route this coming sunday. With 5 seats to the final, capped at 59 entrants, we'll have a decent shot.
With great promos that keep coming up from sky poker, I more determined and more keen to stick online a grind this out. Im sure like a lot of other people in the community, everyone was keen to know about any upcoming Vegas satellites. So with the options available and many routes to get there ill also be doing my best top earn a spot in Vegas so credit to sky and the team and also @Tikay10 for the suspense lol
good shot taking session so far .. few spots to go over but + 5/6 buyins at our new level is always good. I havnt included prio bonus but all RB will be included and think ive only £40 or so to come today..
I dont want to jinx it but we havnt had a losing session this month yet and we're cruising now.. yesterday was a very swingy day but still booked a small win at +£58. Today went a lot better and booked our second +£300 session of the week, this one coming in at around £320. We have nearly hit our next milestone so will be setting some new goals and targets over the next few days. I havnt started any MTT or satellites for Vegas yet but will be mixing them in as well over the next few days also.

Would love to tune in to the streams too if you can make it happen.
Good luck!
