Welcome to Pokerweblogs . This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Well my internet has been down since my last post, finally back up today so get back into it

Two of my friends both had $1,000 downswings this week while i was off …………………..maybe it was a blessing that i was off

We will see

Well things at work are tough at the moment so i decided to take some days off \”get some stress out\” played some last night however my head wasnt right and i ended up -$62.01 down played a mix of game types 36 in all

After a good nights sleep, bit of breakfast loving ham on toast at the minute

Morning Session

Well things didnt start of to plan a lame 7 cashes out of 26 for -$96.80 ($138.69 down for the month) twice on the bubble i lost pre flop all ins KK>77 & 99>22 the first one a classic river jobby, hopefully the afternoon will be better

Started to play a lot of good regs deZZed, MikeBing1, Tobjbaby_KK, and two guys i speak a lot too PhiAlphaMTSU, quiquick which makes table selection more important then ever

Atfernoon Session

Just when you didnt think it could get any worse booom down swing time baby!I gonna be a rough few days

5.20pm - total so far is horrible reading 42 played -$254.40 to lose 19 buy ins is tough to take, Its one of them days where you cant win a flip my BR cant take much more of this…my move down point is $800 safe to say we are a little off that yet.

I seen this on BALLCUPs blog of thought it is sound advice

\”Don\’t ever take winning money at poker for granted; don\’t ever forget the subtletees that make you a winning player, don\’t ever come to the conclusion that you have the game mastered, and don\’t ever become a robot\”

Evening/Night Session

Well this session started well first set 6/8 cashes 3 1st and 3 2nds for $112 :d

22.35pm – After another set i went to watch the film \”the business\” with my girlfriend, i needed a break.

Round up so far was 58 played -$145.60 hopefully later ons event cant push that towards profit, i think i need to pick my stops a little more on the bubble 100/420 this month i have bubbled…tells its own story

I finshed the night off with 3 DONs $20.80 so i thought however after slighlty tilting deep into the early hours i loaded up some $31.60 hyper turbos which from 8 games at $31.6 made a nice profit of $169 and even a heads up, i sharkscoped this guy beofre hand there was a nice fish bowl there so thought why not for $23

End profit. -$99.18 (-$141.07) overall this month after 446 games

Total VPPs 2380

Total FPPs 18,416.35

Summary

Overal not been a good day thats 3 days straight that i have been down for the day and 5/8 days overall hopefully we can bring so + days this week

Wontholdup

Long day at work today, come home thought about going for a run…then thought nahhhh even though i have a half marathon in 5 weeks, best get my ass in gear…..i\’ve told myself tomorrow is the day i start training we will see….!!

Well i started out at the tables today and the first set was awful, horrible beats and of course my play sucked, my first set after work is always a shocker (think i just need a good rest after work to be honest) $13 6 max on stars 8 tables up 1 cash………

straight into another set and its a good one break even for the night……the night carried on like this however overal the night ended in a negative, not to worry still up for the month.

So far this month is pretty much break even….last month was a profit of $567.16 over 947 games so see what the new plan of 1.6k games brings

Total games played this session 71

End profit. -$59 (Overal $20.12+ this month after 326 games)

Total VPPs 1711 (5789 to go)

Total FPPs 17078.35 (Need 26k for new monitor 22\” samsung looks sweeeeet)

I am slightly behind target to get platinum however i have next week off so should catch up……also once i move from 8 to 10 tables should make that gap up (49 games behind)

Sleep now thank god 2.30am :d

After crying like a little boy after yet another failed attempt for the big time I studied hard a finally realised I had no bankroll management at all I designed a spreadsheet and was determined to set goals and stick to it….also retire from Hyper sats…….

Before this next part in my life my girlfriend was on my back and also my family…..my girlfriend for time reasons and my family for the “you have a gambling problem” speech , I worked things out with my girlfriend but there was no getting through to my family…… they more than likely still think this

However even though I was still up overall and showing signs of a winning player I wanted to prove to myself that I had what it takes, I deposited £150 ($250) I would play $6.50 6 max turbos until I reached $800 for 60Buy ins for $13s after 4 weeks over 4 multi tabelring I reached my first goal with 500 games at 18 ROI ( I know the sample isn’t great but I was showing roughly 6% at $25s over 2.5k games , so believe 15-18% at the 6.50s is realistic.. I am current in the $13s with a roll of around $1,500 and 3 months into my aim which is

$250 Start

$800 13s (currently 8 taberling) (20k FPPs)

$2000 25s (40k FPPS)

$4000 39s (60k FPPS)

Also to be platinum by end of this month works out 375 games per week (bracketed is the amount of FPPs I would earn if platinum 1.6k games per month)

My plan is at the end of the year playing or very close to playing the 39s, I am building $215s MTT tickets through the steps programme, I have 2 already and 5 tickets (total) for steps 2 & 3 ( all started off in step 1 for $7.50 each)

As long as my ROI is acceptable I will continue to play the 39s and aim for supernova

I also have won an EPT London Starter Package for an event on the 18^th September £330 freezeout …

I will be posting nearly daily updates on how i\’m getting on any other info wanted please let me know

Thanks for reading
