    Went down to £16 last night but back up to £19.20 now after a good session.  I'm gonna be playing the £1.15 table in no time.  Can't wait for 15% rake.

    After a great start to the month, I then found time for playing scarce due to my son having appendicitis and a lot of time caring for him.  When I was able to play, I was having one of those months where nothing goes right and the profit was leaking away.  With my son now well on the road to recovery and the poker gods smiling on me a little, I have ground back the profit and now sit on:

    START : £500

    CURRENT: £1360

    PROFIT: £860

    Played well last night, got the dreaded KK v AA pre flop on 6 max cash a couple of times, which really nocked the profit back.

    After a week of experimenting with 'ranges' Ive gon back to just putting people on a hand, and making decisions from what I think he actually has, rather than what he could have.....

    £1,065 + £132.62 = £1.197.62


    Im not sure how many days r in this month, or even what month it is ! - but...I have at least the 27th, and the 29th to catch Jaegerbomb, (cheating abit as he's only had half a month). As far as I'm aware, the other £100 starters haven't posted a figure anywhere near him, so this 1.5k is my target.

    Gl all, enjoying the updates.

    Last few days everything seems to be just going good, can feel a bad spell coming soon....

    BR Start = £17.09

    BR Now = £35.17

    So I have doubled my opening roll but that's still only 8.8 BI's which is far from safe. Hopefully the good run continues.

    essentially this month has been be winning £1k playing slightly higher stakes then spewing it off playing ridiculously bad.
    BR went something like 800 - /> 1800 -> 500 ->1900 ->900 and now its at £2,021.
    with 5 days left to play will be happy with anywhere in the region of £2.5 - £3k

    Start £200.

    Current - £2,130.

    Target - £2,000.

    As long as I don't lose in the next few days I'll be fine.

    Losing a bit of motivation to play now though
