Diary of an MTT player becoming a cash player :o

Hi everyone, I have tried this before but didn't keep on top of it. I have tried to adapt to cash, but still so much work to play at the level I want to be at, and tbh I really lack patience playing nl10 or 20 
I recently got another decent result in a main event on here and have thought long and hard about wether I feel I can earn a steady income playing poker. I definately cannot play cash and earn a steady income. But my ROI on tournaments is sitting at 120% over nearly 1000 entries so I think it's possible to earn this way.
I don't think there are any other forum members doing an MTT diary so hopefully this will be a good read.
My aim: To remain disciplined with my BR and to become a priority member within the next year.
I have removed alot of my winnings from the ME cash and am going to play off a BR of £450 (This site only) which is enough on this site considering buy ins. I do work full time but will put in as many hours as possible with this!
I am also attempting the dym challenge aswell, so will keep up to date with that within this thread!
Gl at the felt all.

You have an amazing mtt record Kalie, just scoped u!
I dont know why u were doubting yourself in the clinic earlier. If it aint broke, dont fix it!
Good luck, i will look forward to reading your diary!
GL Kalie, you certainly have the game to do well in MTTs, best of luck
I sat down with the intention to sat into the primo at midday today, but it just wasnt happening!! I was playing ultra tight in one and shoved AQ (Only hand I played) and was called by A4 it didnt finish well. I was then set up pretty in another, but started spewing chips off and finished just before the bubble.
So I decided to move on and have a go at the 5k BH sat, again it wasn't going well I ran KQ suited into TT on a Q T 8 flop then immediately after I shoved JT in SB for 12 bigs and was called by Q2 off suit that was painful lol!
Anyway onwards and upwards I decided to enter a couple of Bounty Hunters, one at 13:30 and the other the 2 O'clock main event £11 - £500 GTD. The first one was going well for about .......... 3 hands then I crashed out I can't remember how and I have taken notes, just conveniently left this one out of the notes.
Ok finally the 2pm BH!!
I ran well immediately doubling up, flop goes 4 way to a min raise and 3 callers pre. I'm BB I hold J9 hearts flop comes 5 8 T (two hearts mmmmmmmmmm) very nice its then min bet and called all the way round I raise just over pot and it's folded round to the button who calls. Next card a rainbow 7, so perfect I bet, he raises I stick him in, he turns over a very slowplayed kings!! hmmmmmm . The best thing is the next card was the K of hearts which gave him a set but improved my hand to a flush lol!
Anyway I went on to take 13 bounties and build a big stack, but someone is miles ahead with chips!!
Onto another FT as chipleader yipppeeeeeeee! However it's short lived a few hands in I lost a flip 55 v AT then again with 88 V JT
All in all though 2 second finished in a row I'm content with, although should of taken down this one.
All in all half decent start could of been a bit better but binked at the end so ok!
BR: £600
Profit : £150.40
Oh and also I won the first DYM of the challenge in the 60p!! I folded everyhand and got through in about 5 mins lol!! On to the next one tomorrow!
Always a fan of your posts in the clinic.
Cheers,
Doug
hope you enjoy the ride

I bought directly into the primo and a few others, bubbled +1 mini and min cashed in lucky 7's. Really not on my game tbh.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day as now down on my BR!!!!
From this point forward I am never playing cash until this thread closes. Really annoyed that I donked off money on cash tables above my roll limits
BR £431.34
Loss £18.66
Played really well from the start in a £11 buy in £300 gtd event, just slowly chipping up. Got all the way to the final table without flipping at any point. Went onto the FT as chipleader but immediately got my Kings broke by Q5, he rivered the wheel it was horrible, especially when he got it in on the turn with Q high.
Anyway got myself heads up once again with a commanding chip lead and felt pretty confident until this happened!
Left him crippled and very next hand won with K8!!
Worth staying up for and kinda sorted my BR massacre out from earlier. Nice to get a heads up under the belt aswell.
2 days, 3 final tables, two 2nd place finishes and one take down!!
BR £563.43
Profit £ 113.43
good luck on yr quest. if yr doin mtts u gotta stick to them & forget cash, like i say good luck & run good
bat trust me just stick to tourments u clearly good at them and feel more confindent at them then cash.
btw ul on the bad beat hu
u mixing any timed tourments with this ?
and u should if u got the time sat into tourments more offten better roi
Timed tourneys will be hit and miss although I do very well in them I just really don't like them lol.
Thanks for taking the time to comment
