Interested to see where Jakally took the kids for dinner today!!!! No doubt a 3 course slap up instead of Ronald Mcdonald's due to my donations.... How does he ever find AA 3 times in 8 hands @ one, 100nl game and stacks me 3 times ....
Incredibly swingy day today was -800 at one point running dreadful, then went to superan mode and came back with about a 30 quid loss so happy before pool. Will see what time i get back and grind a little more if the games are running.
I am getting really worried about myself here. As someone who has always not enjoyed cash ( and not thought myself very good at it) I was apprehensive about playing some happy hours to try and build my C4P towards priority club.
I am only playing 4 or 5 tables at low levels ( 10/20p etc) but have made a healthy profit every day.
And I am really getting into it. My happy hours keep getting extended... I just played an extra 45 mins to try and get my stack on a couple of tables up to 5 buyins.
Trouble is I keep forgetting or postponing entering my usual tournies. For the first time ever my cash league points are way higher than my MTTs.
But I am still way behind my C4P target on only 750 points. Temptation is to move up a level to try and boost it but I am probably safer just enjoying it where I am, and learning more.
EDIT: Just used my cash profit to buy in direct for Luton. Qualifying the easy way
Made around 400 points this morning in a 5 hour stint which saw my worst run at nl40 in over a week, was down over 4 BI's at one stage and clawed it back all the way to a small profit by the end of the happy hour.
The 6 o'clock happy hour was a nightmare, I sat around 5:55 pm and couldnt get a nl40 table and had to start a new one and sit at some nl50 tables in the short time I was at nl50 had a nice donation and when I got back to NL40 again took down some more pots to finish the day 3 Bi's plus up. If ever there was an example of variance its today, a £300 swing from negative to positive.
Still pretty much on target for 18k, but feel a bit lucky to show a profit today. This run just carries on, 9 consecutive positive days, long may it continue.

Was brutal mate.
Thinking of letting 'em have a McFlurry tomorrow as a treat!! (One between them obv.....).
Played some big pots today and was expecting a very very very bad balance when I quit all my tables. Was really shocked (in good way) that is was only 200 down.
Gonna grind a bit later. Wanna get to 11.5k by the end of the day

It sure was Brutal , not so bad if the 6 8 held ..... If they are sharing a Mcflurry make sure its topped with orange smarties ....
Basicly break even in DYM's again, was not too happy with my play though... and loosing basicly every flip didn't help..
In Double stack Main came 21st, close to another deep run - With 13BB got involved in coin flip and lost 66<AJ
In Mini Main went out in first hand - got AA, raised 5xBB , Button goes all in with QQ - lost to a flash..
Was close to qualify to SPT Luton but as already won 1 semi (was only 7 runners though so didn't get seat just cash), decided to buy in directly Have to deffend my 1st place in Leaderboard
Would play some more but working at 7am so time to get some sleep.
Just finished after 3 sessions today (about 9 hours total).
The last one was an absolute horror show, and would have ended it much sooner if it wasn't for this damned points challenge . About an hour before the finish, I started to get slightly blurred vision..... at least that's what it felt like. It could just have been red mist in front of my eyes, as I watched another buy-in slide over to LOL_RAISE's corner of the table.
Was going to play just two sessions, with the second one straddling the last two Happy Hours.Only by about 9.30pm, it felt like I was fighting a lone battle with few resources, and opponents who were better organised, and well equiped, and I needed to get away from that for a while............ so I sloped off to watch Die Hard 2!
First two sessions were Run Like God, so despite the last one being Run Like Gliterbabe it was still a profitable day.
C4P 10817..... well ahead of where I thought I would be at this stage, and highly unlikely I will be giving up anytime soon.
Swung between +200/300 and break even all day. Ended the day up 13 pounds.
Think I did tilt a bit tho so should have been more.
The 60k is gonna be real tough, probably tougher than I thought it would be. The games are probably running at record volume tho so Sky must be very pleased. Not the best value tho but still money to be made.
I do find it odd how traffic increases around happy hour tho. The players who sit/leave during the period are always ones who i tagged to be NOT winning players. I assume they must break even every month and rely on C4P for the profits.
Wanted to be at 11.5k at this point but still a long way to go. Thursday/Friday I'm gonna have to step up my volume a lot. I'm doing the show on both Saturday and Sunday which could hinder me, as annoyingly that is when the best games tend to run.

You really will need to up the volume for sure, specially if your going to miss a few days ... I hit 68k one month but was playing insane volume and way too many hrs... I swore to myself that I would never do that again, as it nearly killed me!!! But after reading how everyone was doing I felt like I needed to join in, don't think I can hit 60k as missed too many days but I like a challenge.... Need 3k aday which tbh is a piece of cake...
Well I have 6 days where I can't play 'full days'. I can probably play enough for between 500-1k points.
Got 26 days left in total this month which means I need to average around 1.9k/day.
I really don't want to be in a situation tho where I am in a race against time tho. Ideally I'd like to have the 60k locked up by SPT Luton so I can really enjoy the event.
Had a shocking session, the end of it on semi tilt, was 4.5 buyins down at the end. Had some terrible calls like 35 vs ak and kj vs qq (when i three bet the qs large) only to bink two jacks on the flop. I lost it after the 35 call, need to learn to channel the aggression more appropriately, apologies to those involved.
Gonna chill and play a few hypers see if I can be bothered with cash later.
