No idea how I swept all 3 @ £11 & still only made £2 overall, but I did awfully in the £3.30 games.
The target in December is....
Make a profit overall, incl Reward Points.
Earn 3,000 Reward Points. (£45).
I've calculated, allowing for nights I can't play, that I will have about 20 sessions, so I have to aim for 150 Reward Points every evening.
If work is not too busy & stressy, I can manage that, but I'll give it a go.
Fair to say, I ran very well last night, including, crucially, winning 5 from 6 @ £11.
You looked to behaving a cracking night, too, I don't recall seeing you lose a single game.
Don't know if it was my imagination, but the games seemed a bit soft last night, very "Saturday Night" ish, with lots of "pot every hand every street" chancers. Love them lads.

The £11 games are keeping me afloat, won 6 from 7, can't make any progress so far @ £3 & £5, but at least am in profit.
Bit cross I failed to hit the taget 150 Reward Points. The target is optimistic, & if I fall behind, I'll have no chance. I have no "spare" nights, I have 2 or 3 Shows to do for 861, a "Skype night" for 861 during UKOPS, & I'll be AWOL from Boxing Day until the New Year, the UKOPS Skype night for 861 excepted.
We shall see.
The craic was great in the chat box last night. It deffo distrubs & lessens my focus, but I just can't help but want to be part of it.
There was a lot of un-necessary Crimble talk though. I've reported them all, it's provocative.

Crikey, where did THAT come from, lol.
Ran as bad as bad can be, but I'll spare you the details, nobody wants to read "sigh" posts.
Not sure I played too good, either, I have a feling that as the results went against me, I started trying to force it, which generally ends badly.
I lost 3 in a row, within minutes of each other, all to JACEON. None of them were great plays on my part. He''s a bit fast & wide, but he had it every time, fair play to him.
I also got Jod'd AIPF, by J-J-9-9 & 7-7-3-3. The spirit of Twiglet lives on.
Anyway, that's set the cat amongst the pigeons, now I have to repair the damage.

Pulled £5 back, but overall, to date, sometrhing is not right, the games won % at each level is way below what it should be.
Need to buck up.

Carnage!
All three Game Counts (£3, £5 & £11) are well below break even, too, 55% is the minimum required, & I generally trundle along around 57% or 58%.
Played bad, ran bad, hole got bigger.
Sent myself a memo. "Must do better".

Another good session, & won 20 from 33 for the 2nd straight day, & won the game count at all 3 buy-in levels, & all the Month To Date KPI's improved, albeit not by much.
Finished the session strongly, winning 8 of the last 10, to round off a good weekend & repair most of the damage from last week's debacle.
Ran pretty good all session, & I think I managed to avoid too many mistakes.
The games felt quite tough last night, very little "value" around.
Back again tonight to see if I can keep this mini-recovery going.
I would be very surprised indeed if their range of KPI's & Data Analysis is more impressive than what SB&G already use.
You been on your travels again? Not seen you on here for a few days, or at the Tables.
Guess it goes back to my business background, we did KPI's then, & they became natural to me.
Sky Poker, in fact all of SB&G, measure, literally, EVERYTHING, & they do so daily, weekly, monthly, 3 monthly, & annually.
As to me measuring my DYM progress via KPI's etc, I'm a bit OCD with numbers & stats. I know exactly who I have played most games against, & won or lost most money against.
Honestly, I think creating stats, KPI's & Targets helps my game a great deal, as I can critically self-examine my results all the time.
What it does tell me is that I currently need to find a way to be more profitable, so I'm tweaking a few things, mainly "ranges".
My ultimate aim is to avoid losing money (just pride, & ego, really) & enjoy myself. Any profit is a bonus.
A year or so ago I had the dream that I could maybe win enough for a return air ticket to Vegas @ WSOP time 2015. Base on current rate of progress, I've ordered a rowing boat.
Boob Boom!

Was £40 up at one stage, but frittered it away with some dubious plays & some concentration lapses. Yikes!
End up making £2, which beats losing, but when I was £40 up, it kind of makes me think I threw it away.
To be fair, I ran vey good early doors, & was a tad fortunate to win the first 3 I played @ £11. Only to lose the next two. Ugh.
In one of the £11 ers I lost, I got the lot in pre with A-A-2-K DS v a newbie, it took ages to keep clicking "pot" but we got there. He turned over K-9-7-6, & flopped me dead with a straight, boo!
Amazing that even though I stopped regging @ 9pm, there were 5 games @ £11. Site is getting nice & busy now.
Very enjoyable evening really.
No play for me tonight, I'm working, will be back playing tomorrow.
Have a great day. I do hope the Forum is a little less testing than yesterday, too......
Have replied.
For those wondering what it is about, this player has been battling to withdraw money from a well known i-Poker skin for a very long time now, & he is being messed about terribly.
He made numerous deposits, did nothing wrong, but now he wants to withdraw, they are playing ducks & drakes as to "notarized documents", of which he has sent them at least four examples.

Won just shy of £11 last night, so not too bad, but finished very badly, lost 3 of the last 4, & still ended up winning 10 of the last 15, so that was a bit of a fail.
Battered the £3ers 8-1, lost by the odd one @ £5, & having established a 3-0 position @ £11, then lost the last two, yikes.
Need to sort these £5er ones out, am not doing as well in those as I should.
Amazing traffic for a Tuesday - played 15 @ £5.50 & £5 @ £11, which is unheard of really for a Champions League Tuesday, so I knocked up the 150 Reward Points in doiuble quick time.
Fun night, just a bit of a Billy Let-Down to end the session so badly, I was heading for a £40+ night.
Thankfully, have recovered all of those huge losses I incurred on two bad sessions last week.
Hope to see some of you guys later tonight.
Are you planning to have a punt on one or two of the PLO8 mtt's tonight?
I'll need to reduce the number of DYM's I play, as I generally run 6 at a time, & MTT's needs a different mindset to DYM's, but if I can sort out what's what, yes, I'll try & join in.
Good stuff
