Half way through the block of 10 HU sngs I was informed the gift opening ceremony has been brought forward an hour, so I had to quit after 5 games and get dressed!
doh.
On the positives, it means dinner is an hour earlier too
5 wins out of 5 games for +$ 16.50, and I get to take a 6 game winning streak into tomorrows session!

Back on the felt today after a couple of days off.
The parents went all "Powshhhh" on Xmas day because we had 'guests'.
My brother, who has ate his xmas dinner on his knee in front of the tele with us every single year is now considered a guest as he moved out a few months ago.
So we had wine with Xmas dinner !!!
Wut ! ?
Uh oh.
Was ok.
Not as nice as the 3 beers afterwards though!
*Gasp*
Takes my total alcohol consumption since quitting alcohol (that doesn't half sound like the start of a Donald sentence) to 1 pint, 2 bottles of bud, 1 glass of proseccdoh and 3 cans of Lager.
ayahhhhh
Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I've been nackered the last few days.
All the junk I've eaten probably hasn't helped either.
I'm extremely rusty at them, made alot of mistakes tonight.
I've also never been past bb50 so often in such a short sample, 43 minutes to play 10 hypers with no breaks and no waiting time between games !
scraped a 5-5 draw out of the 10 game block, still unbeaten
------
Roll = £1240.99

I have made some goals poker and non poker related to take into 2016.
It's late, I'm nackered, and there are 2 extremely 1 sided games of cricket on't box that I want to watch before they're over, so I'll write about them tomorrow.
Hoping to wake up in the morning 'buzzing' again, I love it when that happens
I was actually $4 better off than the graph shows, my tracker always takes a hand or 2 to get going and misses some hands when new tables start.
I can work on my mental game day and night for months and that will still annoy me.
Graph Vanity.
-------
Set of 10 HU hypers ended 5-5 again, continue to make a flood of mistakes in them.
We lose yet another whole dollar to the pokerstars rake collecting juggernaut.
Roll = The same as yesterday minus a buck.
@benc I've replied to you on skype, will get to the 2016 goals probably tomorrow. Hopefully I'm abit more enthusiastic about next year when I wake than I am now.
My readers are an intelligent bunch of people, I'm sure I don't have to explain the multiple ways you can make this a risk free, extremely +ev investment

Sky bet are doing that classic bookmakers trick of offering punters the chance to bet on an even money chance coming in at odds against in the form of the coin toss.
Sri Lanka are 10/11 to win it.
New Zealand are too.
Funnily enough, other bookmakers are taking this oppertunity to print £££ too.
Why not oblige both firms, and put 10 pounds on each to win the toss.
You will get a £19.09 return on your £20 investment.
And a £5.50 poker token.
£5.50 comp for 91pence anyone?
£4.59 in the bank wohoooo.
Unless the skybet peepz have access to your bet365 account history, or you give away your methods in your forum diary, they are 'snookered'.

Fwiw, I hadn't read that part of the Ts and Cs.
And put my tenner on barcelona to win tonight @ 1/14, with the intention of immediately cashing out for what I thought would be a few pence loss.
They offered me £9.50.
If anyone is in any doubt about how stupid the cashout thing is for punters, there's proof ^.
Fwiw, my token was credited instantly, and I lost it in a £5 HU sng.
Well I've just finished what feels like the most action packed session for a long time.
Unfortunately results of 1,530 hands played, + $0.91 makes it look quite the opposite.

No HU's today as I was forced off the cash tables due to my head spinning again.
The brain, such as it is, couldn't take anymore.
Nice for 'concentration fatigue' to dictate for once rather than general 'tiredness fatigue'.
Roll = £1235 ish.
Tomorrow is the last chance to write about what I want to happen in 2016 before it begins.
I just need to finalise goalz, I'm sure you all can't wait to find out what they are!
When I was younger I was always allowed to open 1 of my presents on Xmas eve. So I will treat you guys to 1 of my 2016 goals early, before the full post tomorrow.

I want to read a book
I haven't read a full, fiction book since A level English, 10 years ago.
I haven't chosen to read a full book in my own time since I was 14, it was the grey goosebumps book
So I'm after reccommendations.
I don't know any authors or genres or anything.
Something good, fictional, and that's easy to follow/easy going.
Means I'm taking a challenge roll of £1227.49 in to 2016.
-----
Next year I want to focus way more on my health.
I've made lots of changes and have little to show for it, but could I have done more? yes for sure.
Goal setting has worked well in other mini challenges recently, volume ones in poker, the month of being a veggie and ofc the ongoing one of staying booze free.
The main way I can help myself to improve health wise are diet, and exercise, and the only way I can measure that (sMarter), unfortunately, is weight loss.
I've never been a rsed about dieting, or my weight, or owt like that. But it does seem a no brainer that losing weight will help with all manner of health issues. And it's the only way to measure overall/general lifestyle improvement.
So I have to run with it.
So, that's the main goal moving in to 2016, I want to lose 2 stone in weight by continuing to improve my diet and exercising alot more!
I sampled a frozen brocolli, pea and water smoothie this morning.
Cannot wait to get going!!!
Weigh in tomorrow morning.

Not much hype surrounding the book thing.
It was to be expected, reading is pretty zzzz.
Still looking for a suggestion if anyone has any ideas, a story that's easy going, good and preferably not fantasy or aliens or robots or owt sh 1te like that.
Always a positive when the main characters in a story are humans, I find.

You play poker in the nude?
That explains a LOT.
