Have the ROI for the month around about where I want it now after that horrific start on July 1st.
Games - 77
Avg Stake - $18
ROI - 16%
Profit - $173
Sunday could go either way, but I'm predicting another small sample on the HU sngs, as we have the Murray Wimbledon distraction, and also Sunday is the day to take on the mtts and try and bink a biggie!
I finally have pokertracker installed and working well on my computer without any glitches etc, which means I can play more tables and not have to focus as much on each one, so probably going to try and play 15-20 mtts that start between 11am and 2pm tomorrow.
Could be expensive, but the law of averages suggests I have to make 1 FT!!!!
If they wanna deal I'll tell them to fo!
Missed the lions this morning, just seen the result.
After watching the first 2 tests in full (not much of a Union fan) I'm amazed at that scoreline! What a thrashing!
Cheering on Lisiki in the Ladies final just about to start, and donating to the bookies w/ the channel 4 racing.
Thats a sick roi JJ. Had I updated this morning I would have been talking about even more impressive figures over a much larger sample, sighhh. Why is it when I see what I think is value at a higher level, it turns out that I am the value! Stepped up to a £20 speed for a game against an unknown, played really badly and pushed when my op hit his flop right in the face. Then proceeded to tilt off half a dozen 5 quidders and run into another reg who is a good player but I think ive got a small edge, however, when your not playing well its not an +ev spot.
So in my impatience to wait for tables to spawn after benc and other reg where sitting, I ended up chasing the original villain that I lost 20 quid to, result this time was beating him in 2x 10 quid speeds and 1 x 20 quid. Only problem is I have been playing soo bad that I am down 50 quid for the day on my normal 5 quid games.
One saving grace, after a horrific bubble on one speed bh this morning where I got three hands in ahead only to lose my stack and get nothing, I finally won one for just over £50, happy days. The plan is to play in the region of 150-200 mtts this month.
Here is the update:
Games - 175
Avg Stake - $8.24
ROI - 6.6%
Profit - $103
ROI is much more realistic now, if i can maintain at this level for the rest of the month I will be very happy.
Running awfully at the moment, should hit 500 game mark in couple of days confidence is slowly draining away again just can't seem to catch a break maybe a change in discipline will help rather than trying to grind out volume with a bad mindset. Thought i'd play a couple of speeds to see if i could turn the run around, these couple of games from the morning sums up how its been going recently..

Its contagious, just been levelled this morning by the same donk I was chasing yest for 4x20 quid, first 2 bad beats , then tilted off another 2. Positive tilt fml, I was planning on buying a bike two days ago, now i'll be lucky to get a tyre pump!
Back to basics and back to 5rs, always knew discipline would be my big issue. Will post the damage later.
The games r so soft that even if you're running kak for a small period, it's only a matter of time until it comes back, and more. My session on Jul 1st is evidence of that.
As you say, the real danger to yourself is yourself.
Stick to the gameplan, be disciplined (admittedly easier said than done) and it'll all come good!
In before I run shocking and tilt off 400 tonight.
MTTs started awful, entered 7 between 11 and 1, only 1 left and it's level 3! lol.
Well you all know how I've been running at them It is pretty lol that pretty much every single time I or others have had some kind of ROI challenge at HU SnGs, every person involved goes on like the worst downswing ever lol.
My diary has got a bit ranty recently (especially my last post lol) so just been taking a break from things and playing some Xbox. The games are deffo really soft but it's just so hard not to tilt when you you lose the old AK v A5 aipf over and over again.
I aint giving up on them, although I will be playing more cash now that promo is over... due some run good soon.

I have only one person to blame lambert, its me ! But I have scoped myself over 8k games and my roi at 5rs is a steady 4%(the losses stem from higher stakes and rr's). Just you get bored of it after a while and take shots especially when you see bad players. Ive only played like 200 games, I expect to play at least 1500-2000 this month so its early doors, onwards and upwards hopefully!

I dnt think I'm cut out for multi tabling loads, the mtts were a really big fail, the first 12 or so went down without even a sniff of a cash.
When 2 tabling, (the only 2 left out of the 10,237 I entered) I managed a min cash and a FT, where I busted 5th, which put me up about 50e for the day.
Over to sky......
Played HU....
Lost my discipline, after abit of run bad. Maybe it wasn't even run bad. Just standard spots. But I didn't deal with it very well, and moved up the stakes.
Feel like I got away with from a potentially 'month destroying' situation tonight, more due to luck than judgement.
1/4 of the way through the month and I'm 25 games behind where I should be if I'm aiming for 500 for this 'challenge' thing. Should be ok to catch up though, no sport on tomorrow so 50 game day incoming !
Started in the morning when I had problems in the bedroom department.
Heard the scrapman on the street outside, so spoke to him and asked if he'd come back in an hour to give me chance to dismantle my bed so he could take it away, in anticipation of my new bed being delivered tomorrow (today).
Meant moving the whole room around, turning it upside down/cleaning etc.
Got it all done, then checked the delivery note for the new bed and it turns out it's due to be delivered 'a week on Wednesday'. Not Wednesday! sigh.
Kipping onn the floor for a week!:(
That delayed the start of the session, I was already pretty tired and considered not even bothering, but with it being turbo Tuesday I decided to play a small session.
No luck in the MTTs, stuck to turbos only as I couldn't rly be bothered, tired/too hot & Yorkshire on TV (thankfully we got the win)
Couple of min cashes but didn't flip very well inside the money.
Played the sky main, mini, and a couple of sats into the 9pm turbo BH. No luck.
Almost got going in the main, if I hold here I have a nice stack going in to the 'turbo' part of the MTT

Just canny get owt going in that thing!
Decided to play a couple of hours HU to finish.
Action was really really slow though, I'm sat waiting for 10+ minutes between games at times.
I don't think people were avoiding me because there weren't any other games running either.
Might just have been a slow night.
Played 12 in 2 hours before I got fed up, decided to call it a night. Up about a fiver.
Very nice stats still, things havn't got any better it's strange because i had one of best months ever last month in terms of HU and then back to brutal reality this month. I did some reviewing and noticed some spots that i was maybe not playing right, however i definetly have been getting it in good and losing alot more than i should. Have lowered the volume a little bit as had alot to sort out, going to bennicassim on sunday for a week and a bit so will give me time to refresh. Other variables such as moving home from uni, sorting job interview and holiday and generally not just being mentally right when i sit down to play may also have had a negative affect on how it's been going, but i will plough through and eventually the heater will come. Played one oppo who you posted a few games against the other day tkr who has been running godlike against me but to be fair as you said he does rematch but doesn't matter if they are in god mode lol. Good luck with the grind, maybe by time i get back from benni you would of reached a similar amount of games to me, i still have hope of ending the month with a positive roi and profit, although will be very difficult in just a week and a bit after the holiday.

Pretty sick because before this horrid run i had just got to my highest level of profit from hu and squeezed back onto the anygame leaderboard on scope, now i need a giant fishbowl to accompany them stats lol
Hope things are going better for you Lambert and Acegooner.
Yeah things are going marginally better. Was about £100 after the first 4 days of playing £5 games. Not sure exactly what the situation is atm, but have had a few small winning days, just £5 here, £10 there, so not sure what it is now cos I aint got SS... will still be in a hole, but a slightly smaller one.
Anyone fancy skoping me for HU just in July again?

It seems I half updated yesterdays session last night. Made abit of a mess of it !
Just to round off the results...
I almost got 20 games in, managed 19 in the end, winning 14 and losing 5, for an Roi of 40% and avg stake of $15.
Had to start mixing in £5 hypers and reg some £15.75 turbos when things were very slow.
Really not comfortable in the hypers anymore though, may have to start looking @ £5 turbos or even £10 speeds.
Graph is below.

Also have a hand noted down on the sticky note thing.
That's the biggest tell ever, that I'm off mi nut and playing on some kinda tilt. I noted the hand ID, and next to it, wrote BOOOOOOOOM.
Cu Tuesday!
PS, Happy Birthday to the_don90 for tomorrow! Forum legend! Have a gud 1 Bruce.
Good luck lads with the HU Grind.
Ben it will soon turn around for you, for sure.
