    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!!

    Hi all hope you've all had a good weekend ? Liamboi got to respect you mate you always make it into Priority club so cant argue with that and MattBates i did mention something in Lambert's diary so hopefully you see him put alot more hours in this month on your stable.
    As u can see i had a poor start losing - £198 1st day but 1 of my biggest strengths this year is usually always responding pretty quickly after a big losing day so now after 3 + days were up + £685. As we all no its Punta cana rake races so the sites been super busy which is always good. Ive been putting in some decent volume so i was 2nd on the medium-high leaderboard on the last update not sure how long that will last as i no some good high HU players have started putting in some decent volume but I'm not going to chase it going to stick to the same games i always play and I also go Dublin with my mates Fri-Mon so im missing them days but if i can make top 6 i will be happy with that. Loved all the footy on over the weekend except for Man u getting smashed by Arsenal who were very impressive so cant argue with that they out played us but now international break no Proper footy for 2 weekend's bad times.

My Dym days this week have been big losses and big wins we've been grinding very hard 8-12 tables because of the Punta Cana rake race and we've put our self in 3rd spot so really happy with that. This is my last day of the week now as I'm getting picked up at 1.30am and heading to Dublin with my mates for a weekend away were also going to the darts 2morrow so if you see 7 lads dressed as bottle of beers and my mate who doesnt drink as a can of coke thats us and the rest of the trip is just going to be drink drink drink. Hopefully I come back monday not to hungover and ready to finsh off the rake race which finishes wednesday i want that 3rd place.

    Hi all hope you all had a good weekend. I had a nice charity nite at my local bowling alley where my dad plays in a poker league we raised + £1400 we had a poker tourney 30 players cash games blackjack and the usually raffle had a few pints and had a nice nite. Other than that not to much had my nephew round for the weekend so just been chilling out with him. As u can see i played a little bit of Dyms dropped a little bit on 50nl cash and also received my Punta cana leaderboard money. I also tried to qualify for 500wpt at dtd which is coming up at the end of month but sadly that didnt work out i played some $22 and $109 sats but bricked everyone. I really want to play this tourney its a £550 buy in should i just flick it in or play some more sats and should i just of flicked it in at the start instead of playing sats ??

    Hard to say as we don't know your financial situation; it's obviously not within good BRM but if it's a one off tournament that doesn't really matter: think about it this way, you could go on holiday for the same amount so it's just about how you want to spend the money that you've won. If you want to treat yourself by playing in a big poker tournament then go for it.

    What's the reason you really want to play? Is it a soft field? In the UKPC six max just gone before I won my seat I decided I was going to buy in to it. Normally wouldn't buy in to something that much but the reasons for it was a) softer field and b) six-max which I prefer massively compared to the normal full ring tournaments.

    Hi buddy congrats on the Punta Cana promo and thanks for the advice.  I missed this tourney last year and a few of my mates played it very good structure and they thought it was very soft for a £550 buy in and it's a £1m GTD. Ive played 4 + £1k buy in events since going full time but ive either won a sat or won it through a dtd seat so not sure if the full buy in will bother my game or not maybe i need to flick it in to see. With me losing £297 on sats over the weekend just wasnt sure what to do.
  • edited October 2015
    I always feel when I try to sat into an event that I am prepared/rolled to play for then I will set a % of BI to invest in sats. If no joy then I will BI or if I go above that % then that is that.

    As for you, you are professional so if its something you realy want to play then do it, you only get so mant shots at that 'big' score and you have the perfect oppertunity to 'invest' that promo money you have won as it was something that you got from just playing your normal games.

    Best of luck.

    Hi craig thanks for the advice. Yeah i like the idea oh having a % of the buy in for the sats then i either buy in on that amount or just stop and yeah that promo is kind of like free money. So just going to have a think about it this week then make a decison.

    One option would be to set aside any money over a certain amount for a MTT shot fund. Say anything above £2k a month gets set aside and you use that for bigger comps, whether it be roller, UKOPS HR or sats for a £1k etc. That way your not risking your wage and you have some chances of big money. You can obviously use some of your shot fund and sell some if you want. Given you play DYMs I would have thought you would be able to sat into a lot of stuff on the cheap.
