    Finished day 40 over £30 down , but not to fussed. Thought i would play DYM,s today for a change while i get pts to 1k. Managed so far to play 2 and mess2 up as below - The cardinal sin in a DYM against a tight player didn,t have to play it - looking at it now tho its a bit more marginal

    Well done.  Best of luck in the freeroll, register early mind.

    In regards to my post earlier it wasn't because of poker that I stopped playing.  It was other reasons and now I only really play the DTD and the Orfordable for fun.  Stick in the odd DYM (PLO for preference) and thats it really.   I do enjoy it once I get going. its just the getting going thats the problem.

    Anyhoo, enjoying the diary, hope you keep it going.

    Deffo . 1k pts might not seem alot to some ppl but for me i used to get more than that every month and had less time to play. I,ve tried doin diarys before but never lasted this long .
     
    Its hard to post after a bad day and you see your Roll diminish, but this diary was to get me going again. If you don,t want to post a diary then try writing down your results on paper or spreadsheet if your computer literate. I,m not and did it on paper one month . This really helped me as well

    Also like yourself i try different forms of the game - always makes it more interesting

    Cheers and GL

    Ps - One thing i would advise against - if you don,t feel like playing then don,t. Theres always tommorow

    Still undecided on what to play tonight. Might have a bit of fun and play the DTD but 1st a cpl of satelites and a cpl of cash tables (5p action ) i think

    EDIT : ( 1 hour later )- played my 1st UKOPS satelite before. Didn,t even realise it had started until level 3, but got off to a good start to find myself 1st of 19 with 5 seats , but unfornately bust out near the bubble

    Cash wasn,t to good either but won a small bit bk on timed tourney

    Good start to the day without playing a hand. Just read on GPC that i,ve got an entry to the FR for "Top of the posts for October, due i presume to keeping this diary going". If i remember rightly (will have to check) its a 6 player sit and go with winners from other sections such as Punters Corner, Team talk, GPC, etc and even if you come last (not that i,m planning to) you still get something.

    Some v. good players in there inc. Maxallly who,s also posted on here. ( WD Maxy ) If there was abook you,d probably expect the "Poker clinic" winner to be favourite but should be fun on Friday 
     

    EDIT - session 1 (6.26pm) - Gonna play a cpl more sats and maybe some timed tourneys

    EDIT - After an hour quite happy with results after losing 2 buy ins str8 away on NL4 and still going in £50 gtd

    I have to say its been a successful month and have thoroughly enjoyed doing this diary. Its kept me motivated to play and i,ll definately be carrying it on

    Highs and Lows

    The lowest point came on day  12 where i was already down and decided to play Smitalos with £300 on £1 / £2 which i,ve never even tried before - £98 ( whole balance ) gone in 5 mins. We live and learn

    The highs

    1/ Just to keep this diary running and finally hitting 1k pts for the first time in a while - Couldn,t have done it w/o this diary

    2/ Day 41 ,(before i mixed up my days )  where i almost dbld my Roll after  entering a 1k BH for £10 and finishing 3rd. I,d only just got in and if i had realised how late it was i,d have never have played it

    3/ Getting recognition for my diary and being entered into Fridays "Top of the posts" SNG

    4/ Finishing on the highest total i,ve had so far

    Closing BR  £235.53
    October Points 1053     (£10.53) will add on c4p when i receive it

    Aims for November

    1/ Keep this diary going

    2/ Spend a bit more time away from the tables learning and trying to improve my cash game which from NL10 and Nl20 hasn,t been great

    3/ Keep playing live at least twice a week and try to qualify from nuts leaugue as well as own pub leaugue final in December

    4/ Only play when i feel up for it and just enjoy it - Only target nxt  month is to be in profit and play some SPT satelites and hopefully qualify

    Ps - The reason i put this in the shed in the first place was that it wouldn,t get seen and commented on so much as it was more of a personal challenge for myself.

    However thanks for all the comments and support. Means a lot
