Hoggers you still going round mates to watch footy, theres loads of snow in north london, I live 4 miles from WHL. I wonder if they will cancel the game.
As for your BR, its still pretty much intact after your big ME wins, I wouldnt be too concerned.
Played another 5/6 hour session of 20nl yesterday, I am starting to get to know the regs a bit and the general dynamic of the games
This is costing me money!!! I am probably a massive cash fish, so i am studying the sessions and trying to improve.... I can't get any worse... I am hoping that this pays off if i stick to the 20nl level. Might have to drop down.. meh...
I will update the thread later with some hands, If i really want to depress myself! But it's got to be done to improve... In summary, i like to spew and I like to call too much lol- I have defo been watching Dohhhhhh too much, but my game is a poor imitatation.
Current Bankroll £552.90
Cash for points 1840 (gonna make the 5k freeroll)
On the health/fitness side, i have now played squash three times this year. Hardly played poker this week as i have been busy at work and too tired in the evenings.... I am even booked for a five a side game on sunday... In the goal obv
Yo not really played the last few days... Just enough to creep over the 2k points barrier to get in the 5k freeroll
Tried a bit of mastercash 2 tabling 20nl last night...
Couple of interesting hands with Lambert...
Hand 1... Is my line good here? I liked it

So.... Still plodding away, nothing spectacular... but
Current Bankroll £570.04
Plan is to go for it in February and if it isnt at least double by the end of the month I wont be happy....
The last couple of weeks has been varience city, with everything that could go wrong, going wrong... I've been taking shots at the £33 main from a £500 ish roll... and not getting anywhere. Bankroll was as low as £300 at one stage! meh...
This hand is just one example where I am taking a shot at a £22 BH

Also this next hand.. was blind vs blind. HU deepish in a rebuy mtt. It was against a friend of mine from TKP... I thought i was trapping her as i hardly ever limp BVB, but this one outer from space smacked me where it hurt!

Ok... moving on now....
I got 2nd in the mini open on Thursday night.. Had 667 runners. and I won about £260 total. The hu was late about 1am.. and we were deep like 40bbs effective. Well done to Erin550, who's unorthadox style totally tilted me... They deserved to win.... (and that extra £200) meh.... Thanks to the TKP rail... legends the lot of you.. especially Maxally!

Surprised you havent dabbled more in the 6:30 pm rebuy, despite what jj says about structure its got tons of value. If a mtt donk like me can final table 6 times in 6 weeks and have loads of minor cashes, then you my friend can rinse it. PS
Will be a tough game vs toon today, they have bought well. Howay the lads! Isn't jack wilshere the best english midfielder since gazza, the boy is world class already.

That mtt defo suits me, and i dont mind the structure at all... but im usually a bit tired after work and a bit busy to play it... Wd on your scores tho... sure i will be there to annoy u at some point in the future.
Ooh la la at the Lane, loads of French misfits... yes always a tough game,... should be open and have goals, even if we have no strikers. I expect another amazing performance from Bale though to carry the team!
JW has a long way to go before u can claim him to be "world class" but yes he looks like an exciting prospect.
Crazy crazy game... I ran sooo good, apart from HU against Ian, who totally destroyed me HU!
Very well played Ian, and enjoy your mini I pad!

Nicely done! cashing for hundreds every other night at the moment lol keep it up and maybe share some of the rungood with the rest of us. Posted by benc
Cheers your not doing so bad yourself! Your diary is insanely good! Hopefully we can keep each other going!
It's amazing how a diary can drift into oblivion if it is not updated.
I remember many good forum diaries from the past, like Batkin, Wackos, and some from the early days that disappeared, I dont wish mine to go down that route, as I am still fully committed to this Brazil challenge.
Poker wise, I have been a little up and down, lot's of near misses.
Life wise, I have been doing more non-poker stuff, like going out and actually doing normal social things. This is good. Off to Wemberlee tomorrow with Trip5 and Giant811 to watch Bradford crush Swansea... I pity the people sat behind Giant and I lol. #restrictedview
Just had a check of my account since i started this challenge on 26th November 2012, and i have rounded it off (as in withdrawn the original £11, and deducted all sky bet stuff too, so the bankroll you see (the final total) is pure profit on sky poker only since 26th November 2012 to present. This means it's easier to keep track of.
Going to do a study of hands and stuff at some point and will post some corkers up here. I think the plan for March is going to involve not playing any Mtts and grinding cash... Well that might last five minutes, as I LOVEEEE mtts... Oh well onwards and upwards!

As for your BR, its still pretty much intact after your big ME wins, I wouldnt be too concerned.
