Fun to Income £3923.77 profit;)

Good luck with this.

If you are a winning player take your profit from the month as an income, or say to yourself i'm going to take x amount and let the rest grow.

BRM, people will spout different figures 50bi's for cash, 0r less. It really depends what you are playing and your playing style and amount of tables played. Just really what you are comfortable with.

Hi everyone

I read lambert180 diary and followed his progress and after seeing him take his shot I've decided I would like to start putting myself in that position one day thanks for the inspiration Lambert180
I'm wanting to start a new "diary" as many players I know say doing this helps your game a lot. Well this year I've been on most sites and I've decided Sky is the one for me. Well here is my aim I'm going to begin with a small BR and I'm going to try grind it up to a point where I could maybe withdraw some money on a weekly or monthly basis. With the help and support from the forum I hope to achieve this and hopefully the forum can reign me in if I come off track. I've always played poker for fun so BR management never been my thing but I plan on being a BR nit to get to my goals so advice on what % or BR should be used for cash STT MTT. I have no timeframe on this goal so this may go a few years but I plan on focusing a lot of time on my poker now and I'm not new player so hopefully not a massive learning curve as I begin at the micro stakes. I will try keep this as updated as possible feel free to chin me if I haven't posted in a few days. Well all feedback and comments are welcome and I will try reply to any questions

Thanks DrRunGood

Hey DrRunGood, 

I too decided to do the same thanks to Lambert posts! I decided for me the most secure way of building my roll would be the dym's. I started at the 1.25£ with only 8£ bankroll. Everyday i make note of.....

Games played vs win / loss

Total Allin's / Ahead - w-l /behind -w-l / flip w-l /

I do this so i can better understand my game an understand where to improve. I also save a daily sharkscope profit graph to my desktop showing my progression. 

Lamert has been a huge insperation to me aswell and he has offered some fantastic advise, the forums here a great for technician knowlege aswell. 

anyhow, i aim for 50 buy ins before i increase my stake. I currently have £116 after two weeks

Good luck,and i hope to see u on the tables

That's my problem I'm happy playing my full BR at a table but I think 50 BIs sounds bout right I think I'll play at that level and take it from there thanks. I wasn't planning on taking anything at all till I had a big BR which will be a while but you make a good point about taking out what I win but I would prob prefer keep in all poker money and withdraw whatever C4P I make. What you think?

well done turning £8 into £116 in 2 weeks is amazing. I once done an £8 challenge for fun I put link below. I did play sky solid for a while at beginning of year and moved on mid year and when I came back 2 weeks ago I was playing dyms with a high cash rate so I may take your advice and maybe dedicate myself to dyms till I possibly double my starting BR 

Thanks DrRunGood

c4p wont be that much will it? Mine's is usually between £15-25 per month.

Not better to say I have a bankroll of whatever, say £500, and profit over the week or month is withdrawn while leaving yourself £500, if you fall below that level, no withdrawls.

£15-£25 would be great I have  fulltime job and never relied on money from poker well not on a reg basis but if I take any winnings I make over a month out then my BR never grows and I can not move up levels and make more profit and C4P.

Id say build br to 1k you can play with say 5% of stack ... you profit in those games and you'll be withdrawing few hundred a month ... lossing streak you with draw nohing and lower you 5% when undr the 1k ... thats what wil be my eventual goal.... gl

Good luck on this Dr its something I've been trying to do for a while with a little success. Love to make a few pounds a month to supplement income.  

DrRunGood

I got a question mainly aimed at the true grinders.
I usualy always start off on a loser due to either bad play or bad luck and a friend said im not preparing myself right. So my question to the grinders how do you prepare yourself for a Grind

Thanks DrRunGood

Lambert180

Well you can't do any warm up to avoid bad luck as I'm sure you know lol...

But it is quite common for people to jump on the cash tables, drop a few BIs quickly and spend the rest of the session winning them back and trying to make a profit. Part of it is probably that it seems like it happens alot just cos it sticks in our minds.... like you probably won't remember sitting down and 30 mins in being break even cos that's not memorable, you will remember being 3-4 BIs down in <10 mins though lol.

The other part, someone brought this up recently (I think Harry hhyfdtrr) can be that we just jump in too quick, and are instantly trying to do what we normally do, maybe making a few light call downs or running a few too many big bluffs when we haven't given ourselves the opportunity to see how the table is playing. Like you might make a bluff shove a river against someone within 10 mins and get stacked, but an hour into the session in the same spot you might know not to do that cos they might be the kinda person who just isn't folding a pair.

Personally, I don't do much (any?) of a warm up... just make sure I got everything I need to hand; a drink/snack etc.

Something I have done a couple of times though (and I should do more)... when I've looked through my HHs, I've written down just in a notepad document any mistakes I think I'm making like....

1) Stop peeling trashy hands from the BB
2) When you say to yourself bet/fold.... do actually fold lol.

Whatever you write down anyway save the notepad document, then at the start of the next session just have a look through them so the main mistakes you usually make are in the front of your mind and you can keep an eye on not making them mistakes.

Phantom66

GL with the challenge and the diary.

Just played you on a 6max - that was a tough table for a £1 6max
 
I wont complain about the suck-out on the bubble though just wonder what range you put me on shoving with to make your call?

yea on other sites I use my holdem manager to look through prev sessions hand history but on sky I have no idea how to use the hand history quite annoying to be honest that you cant just see all your hands instead of needing a hand number unless you could explain it to me mate. I think your correct tho with the whole jumping str8 in playing reg game because I feel more im on the more profit I make altho il not be on cash for a bit I might start each session with a check over hand history (if I learn how to use it) and a few mayb dyms or sit nd gos to loosen me up and got my brain in poker mode.

p.s. how the life of a pro going mate can you put link up to your blog I keep losing it

Thanks DrRunGood

DrRunGood

You can go on My Sky Poker = /> Hand History and just search ALL/CASH GAMES for the time period of your session.

Or you can go on My account => Transactions - Show me Poker activity from the last {2 days} (for example) and click search. Will come up with a list of all the tables you have played on - and you can see the entire hand history for that table.

thanks but im still finding it hard to locate what your telling me to go to I went to search my poker activity and says I have had no poker activity in last 24hours frustrating to say least. When I go to hand history its only letting me see last 50 hands unless I have hand number its really annoying me I cant see my hands il be honest. when I look at hands in history of the game its not in depth it just shows you hand played and pot doesn't show position who won (if not yourself) and so on.

Hi All

well just finished the 12 dyms session im messing about with skys account to try get you some hands and results up tbh very disappointing session ended 30p up don't know if dyms are for me seems too long for low pay out. ive only 1 I can complain about when I shoved with kk into the small stacks bb and got called by big stack with aj off was a strange one.
I played 12 3x £1.15 and 9x £2.25  coming to a total of £23.70 I won 2x £1 and 5x £2 coming to £24 making 30p profit. lost a few deciding 50/50 actualy all my deciding 50/50s on another day I could have cash maybe 2 or 3 more if I win them but as I said only 1 I was left scratching my head rest played as they should.

il try get some hands for you all to look at and the results to go with my figures and will try micro cash later will be a bit of a culture shock for me but looking forward to it.

thanks DrRunGood

so played tonight felt it went well till towards the end when I got a couple of big hands busted also felt action dried up fast a few of my tables were playing very short handed at one point 3 tables were heads up. Had fun tho try to play my normal poker got me in trouble sometimes I don't know if I should tighten up a lot more in micro stakes im playing maybe 25-30% of hands would love to hear from you micro stake crushers on that but on the other hand it was my prem hands that got me busted. I will post a few hands for opinions

I plan on being a BR nit to get to my goals so advice on what % or BR should be used for cash STT MTT. I have no timeframe on this goal so this may go a few years but I plan on focusing a lot of time on my poker now and I'm not new player so hopefully not a massive learning curve as I begin at the micro stakes.
