All things JBuss

edited June 2013 in Poker Chat
Decided to make a return to poker after many, many months away. Been snowed under with university work and other committments for the last 9 months and have only ever been back to play the odd tournaments once every couple of month to pass time. 

Where I'm at?

Just finished Year 2 of University. Had some decent results back and hoping to get some more positive results back in the coming weeks. I have 4 months off and only have a part time job. Hope to put alot of hours in at the tables and get the 'bug' back. As I logged in, I noticed I have £8.99 in my account. Going to try and spin that up playing DYM's and a couple of micro tournaments. If I go bust, I will reload £50-£100 start from there. 

Weighed 20 stone when I started university in September and by April I weighed only 16 stone. Hoping to lose another stone by the time I restart in October.

Aims?

Only have a few. Never played an SPT event and rarely get to play live poker due to distance to casino's.

  • Play £115 DTD Summer Deepstack
  • Play GUKPT Goliath Event (£120 Buy in)
  • Play SPT Newcastle
  • Play SPT Grand Final
  • Lose 1 more stone and get to 15 stone
  • Have FUN!


Will let you all know how I get on. Thanks for reading!

    Good Luck Jonathan, as a University Student I know how hard it is to find time to play.
    Look forward to seeing you on the tables.

    Thanks John, 

    Yeah balancing my time was very hard this year and found no time to play at all. Hoping to play every day over the summer and hopefully be able to keep playing a few hours a week at university in October.

    I'll be looking to do the same. My aims are much simpler:
    Play a Main Event on Sky
    Cash in a Main Event
    Play in an SPT

    Didnt really get up to much yesterday. Floated around abit in the DYM's for a break even day. Mainly was railing Don to his FT in the Mini. Congratz!

    Won a small tournament this morning for £27 so the spin up has begun. Will report back later

    No more uni results as of yet :(

    Managed to grind the £8.99 uptp £94.06 over the last couple of days. Quite pleased with that as I was down to £1 at one point. 

    Had a setback with the weight loss target though. Appears I have put on half a stone and now weight 16.5 stone. Have ate relatively well the last week and being working out quite often so it maybe a muscular gain, but half a stone is quite a lot. Rather dissapointed.

    Booking hotel for SPT Newcastle today. Other than that, no plans in place for any of the live events.

    I have, so far, hit my last target. I am having fun for a change!

    Will report back soon.
