    "Also I need to improve. I felt like a right wally playing against some of the better players on the site. Outclassed many a time."

    If you improve much more i start getting more monitors and playing much more games

    GL with new challenge - not that you need it

    IDONK- Ty mate, wp on the HU, ul not to win it in the end :)

    MP- Im serious, the standard was too good for me but hey, theres alot of room the get better so. I definitely feel that theres not alot of room in the game for really aggro players, unless theyre really really good like LJAMESL IH8PALACE etc. So thats what im aiming for :)

    Slightly ironic, best week ever running up to ukops, worst week ever during UKOPS and then first day fater UKOPS I bink the mini.

    Ran pretty well to be fair, was winning the flips that I couldnt win in ukops (88 vs ak, 2pair vs flushDR etc) and played some decent poker I think. Nice start to the week and nice restart to the challenge. Well played to IDONK who came second, played a good HU, fair play to him well done mate. The main didnt get going at all, basically bluffed my way through 2 hours and maintained my stack only to run into aces when I needed a double. No joy, ran into a few regs too, Kimpet being one, good bloke. 

    Still havnt seen Bond yet, need to sort my life out.

    Starting BR:£999

    Current BR:£1162.26

    So at the moment there hasnt been much to update. Havnt had much time to play and when I have nothing has happened, lacked motivation, most likely because I know I have better priorities at the moment. BR has been fluctuating between 800-1200£ the past week or so. I will probably get on the grind a little later and see what I can do if I feel motivated enough.

    Went to see Bond on wednesday. Loved it. Daniel Craig is Bond. Hope hes back for a few more, these modern Bonds certainly top the old Bonds in almost every department IMO. Hope to get on the pokerzz later. Christmas coming up soon too, love this time of year.

    I said pretty much the exact same thing in my diary after going to see Skyfall. He is now definitely the best bond imo (yes, even better than Connery).

    Definitely enjoying the the Bond films more since Daniel Craig took over. Was always a big Bond fan from  when I was a kid, but lost interest with Die Another Day.

    Dont get me wrong, Connery was good, (Dalton was probs my fave, very underrated) but Craig just brings so much more to the role, hes believable. Plus its not all about the girl like it used to be, this latest film was one of the best yet. Shame about M dying though! 

    Ahhhh always happens like that, your probably players better now your not playing so much!

    Yeah I lost alot of interest too but Craig has brought my bond enthusiasm back. To be fair with the special effects that you can create these days theyre inevitably better. Lats one was a class above though. Cant wait for the next one. Bond.

    Okay, so decided to spice things up a bit, first challenge went well so lets make it twice as hard, im on a pretty serious run bad atm, coupled with the fact I dont have much time to play, so this one wont be a quick one but still, should be fun. £50-£9999. Sounds ridiculous, is ridiculopus, I expect il able to give it a better crack over christmas time but hey wel see. 

    New challenge new start, some BRM is needed here me thinks lolol. Or may just play 2 £22ers and see what happens :P wel see. Need some luck in this one though!

    TimmyD - you're having a laugh
    SC was always the best bond - have to admit though that DG is probably the new top dog

    meanwhile glgl wacko on your new challenge

    Okay going to do something impossible. £5 pound into £9999. Just want to make it interesting really, not just for myself. Il happily just reload to a 5er if I lose it, but il be trying my best to spin it up muhahaha! Settled on this now, time to get cracking!

    Now now gents we all have an opinion ;) I must admit I like dr no, and goldfinger. But Craig is awesome, Connery is good dont get me wrong, but Craig takes everything Connery brought to the role but just does it a bit better. Skyfall was great really was, top villain too, would of liked to see him go a little bit more metal, but he was good! Anyway the Hobbit...;-)

    £5 to £9999, is it possible? from a measly fiver.. no :P at least 100imo, even a good tourney player like your self will struggle at the micros, anyhoo gl mate.

    I don't reckon the £50 to £9999 was that ridic, and dont think you'd need that much luck either, just alot of time. It wasn't that long ago GaryQQQ did £51 to £1051.... now Gary is a very good solid player, but you're just sick so if he could, you could.

    £5 on the other hand is not so easy lol, but if you're happy to reload fivers, you only need 1 bink and you'll be off and probably never look back providing you stick to micros at first.

    Great diary Wacko, but just one thing (tut tut), you should take out the "shame about....." Skyfall spoiler, or put a spoiler alert at the top of that post. I've seen the film (twice, it's even better the second time around) and thought it was superb, best Bond ever, but I expect quite a few who read this probably haven't got around to seeing it yet.

    BTW it's not really £5 to £xxxx if you allow yourself to keep reloading, for that to be true you only get one chance, that's why I started at £51. My challenge finished when I either got to £0 or £1051, whichever came first. If you're on your second fiver it's already £10 to £xxxx, if you're allowed to reload as often as you want the £5 bit is essentially meaningless.

    That's my whinging over :), fwiw I'm fully aware that you're a tournament beast, and I'm 100% certain you'll make a ton of money regardless of whether people like me nit-pick the rules!
