    Hi buddy glad your enjoying the diary. When i was 18-22 i was deposting and cashing out so never had a proper bankroll back then but since then i've always had a decent bankroll by grinding through the years.

    Timmy great to see you still thundering on....

    Question -: How do you find the patience to play the same games over and over? I have tried to play games I am profitable at over and over but often find I get drawn to games where I have a smaller edge or am -EV 


    If you wernt doing this for a living would you be playing different games?

    Hmmm i would say the main reason i stick just to mainly dym's is I find I get my best results when I focus on just 1 format and yeah when i wasnt full time I was playing most formats of poker

    DTM run good.  I tried and failed and then Timmy came to my rescue.  Absolutely delighted to be going back, last year was such a blast.  Can't thank Timmy enough and will defo return the favour.

    Nice steady results Timmy!

    I did notice the flights were on average about £100 up on last year but not a big deal as you say with Sky giving us the £1k.

    Yeah mate, flights booked, some $$'s put aside and my father is coming along as my +1. My partner has been on a lot of trips with me but she hates flying and has kindly offered to watch our 2 crazy dogs and hold the fort down here. My dad has never been on a poker trip though and never been to Vegas or the USA, although he does play poker every night on stars so it should be a great experience for him.

    Looking forward to this one and the 10k starting stack in the event isn't too bad compared to others :)

    Hope the tables are being good to you!

Would usually play the Saturday day 1 but as im a big Man u FAN were going to play 2morrow's day1 so I can watch us win the FA CUP so if we make it through day 2 is sunday and day3 Monday. Couple of losing days on Dym's so need to get them winning days back.

    Hi all. So I went and played the WPT Friday at DTD tourney didnt go well didnt play very well and abit of run bad out after 3  hours which isnt good but we learn from it and move on to the next one. The actually winner qualifed for 1c and got £140k sick story thats why we love these big tourneys. Results online still been up and down so cant get the month from being ok to a good month so will grind through the week and then have the weekend off time for a few drinks saturday and sunday nice little warm up for vegas.

    Enjoyed the Fa Cup Saturday what a goal to win it. GG Van Gaal weirdly enjoyed the time youve been manger maybe for the wrong reasons but you left with a Trophy and a nice pay off enjoy your retirement Sir. Never been a fan of Jose's bad losing antics but the blokes a winner and pretty sure hes going to bring some superstars with him so should be some exciting times ahead cant wait for the next prem season.

    watched you play a lot and great to see a pro write a diary!   I think that having a 15-20k profit is a VERY decent wage.  People need to remember that is tax free, so if earning 20k net that is like a regular 30-35k job which is better than average 27 year old!   PLUS........  that wage plus your doing a job you LOVE = priceless. Run well and look forward to reading the progres
    Posted by Nuggy962
    I know this was posted a while ago, but I had to wade in to correct this piece of complete nonsense. 20k is not equivalent to a 30-35k regular job. 20k is equivalent to a 22.25k regular job. Income tax is 0% for below £11,000 and 20% for £11,000 to £43,000.
