    Total = + £326

    Again sorry for lack of updates. So as you can see I grinded and steady profit on Dym's flicked in the main and mini last sunday but no success there. So it was the UKPC 6 MAX but sadly I didn't bink a seat but I was heading down Thursday as sky put a quality £10k live priority freeroll + free food and drinks wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii tourney didn't go well but the drinks went down very well also got a cool selfie with Carl Froch who also played the freeroll and well done for WACKO for winning and taking the trophy home. Like I said the drinks went down very well so I ran into one of my bad hangovers so I didn't decide to play the mini which was the plan and headed back home the next day. So 2nite I will be appearing on Sky's live poker show on sky sports 4 10pm-12pm very excited but I am a little nervous. As your all no I'm a Dym player these days so I'm hoping I can remember how cash games work lol. Dontellmum and Liamboi are rumoured to be trying to get on my table I also told KGEE to flick £100 of his stake money on the other table which I think the player will be JAKALLY so hopefully he gets a seat that will be fun to watch Kgee likes to play pots.

    POINTS = 17960

    In Response to Timmyrara 2nd year being a PRO:
    Hi all Timmyrara here I always wanted to start a diary on Sky poker so here we go. My name is Tim Rowland im 27 years old from Boston ( Not in America ) in Lincolnshire. Out of poker I pretty much love all sports but mainly Football big Man u fan love my Box sets my favourites are Sopranos Breaking Bad and the Wire and i love a good drink with the lads. I fell in love with poker when I was 15/16 coming home from youth club on Friday nites slapping channel 4 on and watching Late nite poker and ive been hooked ever since. 4 years ago I started writing down every live and online session into a diary so I could show my family I wasn't a crazy gambler and I actually made money from my hobby. I always wanted to go Full time but the timing never felt right but Dec 13 I thought im not married and have no kids why not give it ago had a good talk with family and in Feb 2014 I was Full time I just missed my target for the year but still made a ok wage so overall I was happy. Started grinding 100nl 6-8 tables plus some tourneys. 1st 5 months went fine on cash but then seemed to hit brick wall for like 2 months so for the last 4 months I moved to Dyms £11-£55 I finished the year nicely with 4 solid months. My targets for 2015 are : Online Top 10 leaderboard on Sharkscope for Sngs Top 20 leaderboard on Sharkscope for Tourneys. Avg 25k - 30k points a month on Sky. Live Play more £100 + tourneys at Dusk till dawn Try sats to play to GPS Tour Gukpt and Sky events Im not a greedy person so my target for the year will be the same as last year £15k - £20k overall profit just missed it last year so with it being my 2nd year bit my more experience behind me im confident I will get there. Im not saying this is gonna be a crazy exciting diary im just a normal lad from a small town who loves poker and loves talking about poker and oh yeah im trying to make it my job. I will try and post daily hope you enjoy and thank you for reading.

    Wp on Tuesday Timmy and ul on losing the £100, always good to see forum regs get a shot on Sky Poker TV. You mind if I ask how it came about that got the offer of going on the show? It's something I've always been really interested in doing myself so would love to know how you got involved.

    +1 to the great numbers for the year so far, wpwp.

    Hi all hope you all had a good weeekend ? So i made £236 on Dym's over the 4 days and a few points as it was double points over the weekend. It was my cousin's 21st Party friday night so had a good nite there and then ended up in town so it got quite messy so like usually next 2days i was hungover but as there was loads of live footy on i didnt mind to much. Quality result for Man u vs Liverpool not the best 1st half but was loving the 2nd half just find out me and Kgee are going to watch Man u vs Sunderland on the 25th so cant wait for that. Other than missing friday's matches i watched every day of the Tennis Us open loved it and glad Djokovic took it down made a bit of money over the 2 weeks aswell. Not to much planned this week got my Dad's birthday 2morrow nite so looking forward to a nice mix grill and then the Champs league is back shame it's left sky sports but as i have BT sport i dont mind to much i think BARCA will do it again amazing side.

    Hi all sorry for the lack of updates as u can see had a nice solid week. Dym's went pretty well and also had some double points action friday which i always enjoy. As u can see ive played 3 small sessions of 50nl cash when the Dym's dry up about 12-1 ish sometimes when im still up for grinding until 3-4am im going to 2 table 50nl so just something extra to add to the schedule. Went to watch Man u over the weekend for the 1st time this year went with Kgee and then we hit the city centre  then ended up in a casino bout 5.00-7.00am not the best idea as i losted £100 and kgee losted £150 but not the end of the world still had a quality day but in the future dont play any form of poker when drunk!! So with 3 days to go month is going pretty smooth so im going to end the month with 3 small sessions of Dym's and mite flick some tourney's in.

    Great weekend Tim, thank you!! I believe you have made a massive miscalculation in the fact that I didn't lose £150 it was only £144.50!! where did you get this figure from? who's brilliant idea was it putting a casino next door to weatherspoons anyway, scandalous! Tim was full of confidence on the tables with a drink inside him, he was even trying to recruit some new dym players to sky.... Although some of you might think I'm drinking whilst playing online I've never actually played drunk before and going to try avoiding it in future!! Great month mate keep it up and ill try and recover your £144.50 in the foreseeable future!!
