A Boring little DON and MTT Blog

in Poker Chat
Hey all, new to posting on the forum so be gentle with me 
Discovered the forum after having some great chats with a couple of players last week when I luckboxed a deep run in the main.
Going to do a little blog at my micro stakes adventures which is likely to be really boring as I will be playing a lot of DoNs and micro MTTs.
A bit about me I am a 29 years old lady (debatable) and have been playing poker for about 5 years. Mostly played live but have done OK online. Managed a SCOOP final table last year somehow and have done ok elsewhere too but lack volume and patience to put in a long grind.
Going to start with a bankroll of £75 and aim to spin it up to about £1k before withdrawing. I will try and stick to some sort of bankroll management but no doubt that will go out of the window fairly quickly lol.
Wish me luck

GL with it
I noticed you got 2nd in Hitman Main last week for over £1,000, very nice.
GL with the bloglet, looking forward to it.
Will keep an eye on this.
Couple of questions.
Do you have a set schedule for poker playing times?
What limits of DON and MTTs are you looking at?

With tourneys I will aim for a bit of a day time schedule and games up to probably £3.30, I feel like I might have a bit of an edge at the micros and the small fields will help. The £1 rebuys could provide some great value especially starting with a smallish bankroll
DONs I will aim for up to £2.20 maybe £3.30 keeping the turbo variant at a max of maybe £1.10
I am not really one to stick rigidly to a Bank roll management plan mainly due to not really playing a ton online so happy to take any advice but don't be surprised if you see me playing a £5.50 every now and again lol
Thank you for the warm welcome everyone, honestly didn't think anyone would be interested
If it's poker, poker, poker maybe not as much of course
Can be quite therapeutic too.

thought it would be fun to punt a £22 and £11 and 2 x £5.50
Ran and played pretty bad all day until the £1 rebuy win where I played pretty solid, some rather unhappy punters in the chat window though, you would think it was the WSOP final table the way they went on but hey ho.
Up a tenner for the day over would have been plenty more but never mind.
Played well in the DONs though they were good fun.
Thank you all for the welcome messages, had some really good chats at the tables today and y'all seem like a friendly bunch.
May play a game or 2 this evening but with thunder brewing outside not sure if I want to risk a power cut half way through and the other half is on his way back.
Start "Bankroll": £75
End "Bankroll": £85.09

"some rather unhappy punters in the chat window though, you would think it was the WSOP final table the way they went on but hey ho."
Always a good sign when that happens, means you are getting the better of them. Just ignore.
where does the alias "teamclau" arise from? It's quite an odd one.
So this went out the window on day one
Congratulations on the win in the £1.10 rebuy - they're not too shabby for the best part of £60 for 1st are they? I'm a massive bankroll nit (and regularly get mocked for it) but you can absolutely make tidy profits on Sky playing exclusively £1.10 rebuys, £2.20 deep stacks and £5.50 bounty hunters without feeling like you should be looking to 'move up' or 'shot take'.
Good luck.
I really like that as a schedule actually. Think I might use this as a schdule. Thanks it was lovely chatting with you and very well played the flop on that last hand was a nice sweat lol.
So here is an update... RIP "bankroll" lol
The other half was delayed getting home so had a punt in the main....ooops.
Did have a deep run in the mega stack and played a few sngs and withdrew £30 for a takeaway.
It is all good fun though, I dont think this was ever about sticking to a bankroll more just a fun spin up but that said it does show how important it is to stick to a bankroll plan to get from A - B.
This isnt the end though, going to give this bankroll thing a shot so the plan moving forward after this weekend is going to be as follows:
£100 starting bankroll
schedule £1.10 rebuys, and deep stacks / bounty hunters up to £3.30 all none turbo formats.
I may play some DONs between but probably only up to £1.10.
I will post again Monday or Tuesday once I have the bankroll setup, I might post some other stuff too, currently trying to do a fitness transformation and it might make the blog a bit more interesting if I have some other stuff about me and my not so interesting life lol
have a great weekend everyone.
A great start to the blog and this could be a new 'fav'

Always good to see new diaries, love to read how different people think about and play the game. If you think the chat box is bad at £1.10 wait until you play a free roll.😂
Good luck
