That's an excellent start, very consistant gains so far. As for the initial £200 target; it's a case of when, not if, in my opinion. Best of luck to you.
making mistakes but br is moving forwards, so i'll take that all say long
could be a long slow lap
best wishes,

Monday 13/1 14
freerolls w £1.02 cash W £3.65 br £35.70
played 2xnl4 tonight for an hour or more, as I fancied the table.
I know I said I wouldn't multi-table but I'm happy with playing 2.
yes 2 might lead to 3-4 I know that, but I'm hoping not ha ha.
anyway, happy with another win, felt I played really well tonight even though I've only £3.65 winnings.
played more aggressively and my pre-flop raising was better and also my post flop betting too, I think.
got 1 hand to post up for you...
just to show I don't always fold when facing bet bet bet lol
I had opponent on ak pre-flop, so went with it. ( yes, I've got good notes on him
got it right this time... phew.

Wednesday 15/1/14
freerolls no good
cash w £0.54 br £39.06
2xnl4 very up and down £6.50 up & £5.50 down at different times, so not too unhappy with end result.
lost 1 big hand with trip qqq's v flush & f/h, which didn't help.
anyway played as you should I guess pretty aggro and I'm sure the correct way long term, especially at the higher levels which I'm hoping will come in time. lol
almost a 5 hour session, so all in all, good fun and no complaints.
not sure if I'd like it this way every session being so up & down I mean, but if that's how it is going to be, then i'll just have to get used to it, especially the winning & losing of sessions, which I'm sure would be the pattern to come.
hopefully will get back to normality tomorrow and put in a solid performance
all for now,
dev
Thursday 16/1/14
just wrote up todays events and lost connection... so here we go again.
cash l £13.01 br £26.05
1st losing session since I started so kind of guessed it was coming.
lost 2 big all-ins with 77 on 997 flop... opponent had 99 lol
and AA to run run flush.
so I know it looks bad on paper, but it was more through bad running than bad play... I think.
anyway, it's over now so have to forget it, and move on.
still got 6.5 buy-ins to play with, so no need to panic...just yet!!!
laters,

part 2...
cash w £5.00 br £31.05
1xnl4 couldn't resist a little session after losing earlier today, could I.
glad I played as won some back, so feeling better now
going to try and stick to playing just the 1 table for now, if only to try and keep things under control for a while.
I know you can't control the cards and 'what will be will be' but whilst I'm still in the early stages of this challenge, I'm taking the better safe than sorry route.
anyway, all for now
back tomorrow no doubt
run good,
dev
might see you on the tables mate.
best wishes,
dev
yeah agree tight is right with a bit of rubbish thrown in for good measure. he he
let's see what's in store today shall we.
cheers mate,

nice steady short session, getting br going again,
laters,
dev
as for the hands posted above, hand 1. ouch hand 2. I hope you search for this player before sitting down I know I would be.
good luck mate
yeah, horrible session that, losing is never great but at least it was from the bad run of cards and nor bad play by me...this time lol
yeah, got the guys name so I'm sure we will meet again sometime.
best wishes mate,

2xnl4 w £1.32 br £40.48
only loaded 2nd table up for 1/2 hr as I saw value, but no joy there today, still plenty of other days
anyway, managed to dig out a small win, from a pretty card dead session really, so v happy.
br hits the £40 mark, for the 1st time , so happy with that.
out for a meal with the family now as it's my brothers b'day tomorrow.
might be back later for a small session, see how I feel.
all for now,

part 2...
1xnl4 w£1.46 br £41.94
thought I'd give the late show a go, nearly wished I hadn't losing AA v AQ to QXX X Q one hand all in.
lost count of the other cr*p that beat me.
anyway, all came good in the end, so happy days, with the help of hand below.
once br gets to £50 i'll be quietly confident of reaching my target of £200 he he.
night all,

Sunday 19/1/14
up early....
needed a poo... done
cat needed feeding... done
cup or tea & biscuits...done
heads full of ideas...thought of stage 2 of my bankroll building plan... done, written up on page 1.
brothers birthday.. of no real interest to anyone
anyway, that's all for now. still got a long way to go here but at least it's going well atm, so happy I am finally getting somewhere with my cash effort so far this year, even though it's only a small profit and pretty meaningless atm, it's a massive step for me on what I hope will be a big cash year to come.
my plan is fully in place now and now I've got the next step, ie; nl10 sorted in my mind, it's now just the simple task of carrying it all out
|edit.. as for stage 3 ? 'we'll have to wait 'n' see!!!
have a good day all,
be lucky
dev
yeah, last time playing nl10 was a nightmare. apart from not only not knowing what I was doing I was multi-tabling too, which only meant I was making even more mistakes and basically handing out money.(not saying I'm much better now mind, but at least I'm only playing the 1 table).
still at least it was good practise for when I get there again this time.
yeah, always the perfectionist lol
not going to attempt nl10 again until br reaches £200 so a long way off atm.
interesting you think I'd make more money by adding more nl4 tables than playing just 1 nl10 table.
anyway, that's all for the future, at the moment it's 'slowly slowly holy moly. he he
best wishes mate,

Monday 20/1/14
2xnl4 L £1.45 br £40.49
just had the session from hell, £9 down at one point but clawed most back, so happy with only a small loss in the end
br still in the £40's so no worries.
played 2 tables as Mr valuetown was playing but of course he took me to the cleaners didn't he, playing his usual crummy game. he he.
still there will be other days wont there... I hope.
anyway, all for now, not sure if i'll be playing tonight, see how I feel.
gl all,

Monday 20/1/14
part 2..
2xnl4 L £2.58 br £37.91
just came back for a quickie at 10pm ... long story short down £10 or so couldn't go to bed like that , got it back to -£2.50 bed at 3.30 am.
not good I know but i'll take it.
very up & down session.. again. don't know if I'm playing at my most optimum atm.. results would suggest not.
played a lot looser game than normal, which I think , may be the way forwards long term.(judging by some of the rubbish hands that were winning tonight. ex; my AA v 63 my AA v AJ suited hit flush on river, 2 big allins.
made a bad call holding 10 10 and got carried away with them ,losing a buy-in to AA but apart from that reasonably happy how I played.
anyway, see what comes today, will it be my old 'tight is right' strategy, or will I continue playing loose and care free and see how that goes?
anyway, that's all for now,
gl all
dev
edit, just looking through hh, yes, I had my fair bit of luck on some hands too, so I can't complain too much about those losing hands I've mentioned earlier. but they did seem a little cruel att
