Hi all welcome to 2016 the 1st updates of the year. So 6 days of solid Dym grinding we've come out making + £296 happy with that so far as I started the month losing - £149 and then a rough - £359 Monday. So we no it's double points month on Sky and this week its double points on all Sng's so my target for the week was 10-14 hour days 6-8 tabling £5-£55 games points target 30-40k and to make profit over the week so far + £197 and 14950 points. So 4 more solid grinding days then chill out more next week and play a few tourney's as it's double guarantees on the Main events.
Hi all hope your all had a good weekend ? So 4 more solid days put in since my last update making + £525. So its been a very long week on the tables since Monday when the double points promo started on all sng's so my plan was to do 7 massive days we did 76 hours making + £722 and 33,560 points so im super happy with that especailly when i losted - £359 Monday. So this week alot more relaxed going to play most Main's as it's double guarantees week. Was planning on playing the old trafford leg of the grand prix but I'm not sure if i will be able to make it. Little target for the week make profit on tourney's and make 1 final table.
Sick grind and results timmy, long time lurking reader, how do you motivate yourself to put in such intense shifts? obviously financially it's gonna be beneficial to put in some huge hours but do you still enjoy the normal grind?
Hi Donttelmum Any2suited and Benc thanks for your kind comments. Benc when a sky Promo which includes Dym's I always try and put massive volume in the tables are super busy and i do enjoy the leaderboared races and when your doing well on the table's the money's nice to and yeah i still enjoy nearly every session I do full time 2 years in Feb super happy.

Went out for abit of food Wednesday nite with the lads and then went pub to watch liverpool vs arsenal wow what a game big man u fan so meeting up with the lads sunday again nice mix grill to start with few beers then watch Man U beat liverpool again at anfield perfect day . Going to be doing my normal grind 2nite and 2morrow and also playing both mains.
Hi all nice so just 2 days played since the last update managed 2 more solid Dym days making + £349 and played the Main and mini both nites managed a few cashes making + £54 and over the week I played 5 mains and 5 mini's making a small profit of £27. Went out for abit of food yesterday few beers and watched Man U vs Liverpool defianlty not the best of performances from United but who cares bout that big games it's all bout the result hopefully we can have good 2nd half to the season Top3 and good run in the Fa Cup and Europa League. Plan for the week online will be just Dym's want to record bout 5-6k points currently in the top8 at the minute for UKPC seat but its double points on cash games so that could change by next week but were have to see but then i wll be ready to grind super hard again as its double points 25th Jan - 31st Jan on all formats.
I havent read the full thread but what i have has been a good read TIm. Well done and wish you continued success for 2016. I have a couple of questions and sorry if theyve already been asked but, as i said i havent read all of the thread. When you're playing a session, how do you organise breaks.? Do you play for a couple of hours and then stop loading tables etc? Do you begin sessions at a specific time each day? I ask as there doesnt seem to be any sort of decent traffic in sngs in mornings etc. Posted by cowhead
Hi ya Cowhead thanks for your comments and questions. When I'm grinding online I dont have oraganised breaks I just grind till im ready to stop or if Im starting to play bad or run bad then i mite have a small break and start again. The times i like to play during the week is usually bout 3.30-6.30 and then 8 till 3am. Always like to start the day taking the dog for a nice long walk and then 3/4 times a week i go play racquetball and gym. When i 1st went full time my routine was really poor just waking up and turning on the computer is not the best way to start a session
Hi all so i've had a nice solid week 4 + days overall 4 + days on Dym's making + £421 played spin up cash for bout 30mins didnt enjoy to much so hit and run for £19 and we got 3955 points so far this week. Away from poker not to much to report took my nephew out for tea and then took him cinema wednesday after school. Kgee's birthday 2day so he wants to go DTD 2morrow to play a £165 6 max so looking forward to that bit of Nando's before then some live poker 1st time since grand prix Final table. So abit of a grind 2nite and sunday and then thats it for the weekend.
good work mate you are obviously flying I hope to enjoy some battles with you across the year although there is just about no chance of me matching your volume.
Hi all so 3 more + days on Dym's making + £505 even got a £220 game running. Saturday it was Kgee's birthday so instead of going out and get smashed like we usually do spending £150-£200 and having a 2day hangover he wanted to go play some live poker at DTD and abit dinner at nando's. Tourney didnt go well both losted on cash but Nando's was really good .Had a look on the ukpc points race leaderboard and I'm sadly out of the top8 for a UKPC seat so not sure if i can catch them now but im still going to put in some good volume and target 30k points as it's double points week on all format's and mite play some Main's this week.
good work mate you are obviously flying I hope to enjoy some battles with you across the year although there is just about no chance of me matching your volume. I am assuming you will be at UKPC? Great read btw Posted by Itsover4u
Thanks buddy also enjoying your diary keep it up and yeah even if i dont qualify for Ukpc and I'm still going to head down for a couple of day's.
Hi all so January is finally done been a super busy month online with all the double promotion's but its been good start to the year with a very solid month so really happy.
Highs :
1. Best Dym month ever.
2. + £4k month.
Lows :
1. Missing out of top8 leaderboard for UKPC seat
2. Not having a deep run in the Main's double GTD weeks.
After such a good year last year down to skill and hard work its sad to see you didnt have the drive this year to grind hard and make the top 8 to get the UKPC seat.

Posted by TimmyRaRa
I can seee why as well.. I've only played live a couple of times and I found it pretty dull. I'm purely a rec player who really enjoys the on-line version best. I treat it as a hobby and play as often as I can. Some weeks 4/5 nights a week others maybe only 1/2. Only play tourneys and prefer BH's.
Hi all hope you've all had a nice start to the month ? Had a nice weekly points bonus which started off the month nicely and just been 3-4 tabling Dyms so far this month mostly £33-£55 games nice steady + £342 over the 4 days. Playing bout 20-30 mins a day this week of 25p50p spin cash to qualify fo the £5k freeroll next saturday. Finally got my new passport so I will booking las vegas this weekend for 2 weeks in April for my birthday with KGEE. Some good footy on at the weekend leicester vs City i think they will start to drop off and will just miss top4 but they proving me wrong every game and also massive game for my team Man u on sunday 2 postive results a win vs Chelsea and you never no late title race :0
Will be grinding over the weekend as i have nothing planned so looking for 3 + days.
oh yeah miss one thingMilestone Hand Winner: Dr_F sent me a email saying he couldnt play the ukpc due to work so sky was happy for the seat to be passed to someone else so he asked me and we aggreed on 50% spilt so very happy to take that offer. So thank you to DR F.
