Won £20 in the milly hand FR, lost a big pot not long before the cash bubble so happy to cling on and ladder.
Won a bit more at cash.
Gave last weeks winnings plus a pound back to skybet.
Lost my last 5 PLO8 dyms, I made a couple of bad plays earlier in the day (lost one got away with one) risking too many chips too early, but the last 5 I don't think I did much wrong. Just one of those sessions where the run was bad when the blinds got high.
Ended up on £80.50 pretty much where I started the day. Points earned don't mean much as I am in that no-mans land between 230 and 500 points. I doubt if I will be around when the 998 milly hand drops today, so I will be hard pushed to make the 129 points to reach 500 and from past experience I wont make extra efforts to do that as it is likely to lose me value overall.

Many thanks for the kind words.
Not sure about my "discipline" as indiscipline has cost me plenty but definitely appreciate the effort to pop by and say hi and that you enjoy the read.
I follow your diary avidly on the rail and must say my humble little efforts pale into insignificance compared to your story.
GL for 2016 and best wishes to you and yours. Interesting times with the return of a lost fledgling to the family abode. Our two sons are away, possibly temporarily and we miss them dreadfully - yet also enjoy our new found independence.
Always best I find to wait until you are itching to play and not just play because it's there, or there are points to be gained etc. Certainly at my levels anyway, no sense it making it a "grind" when it is supposed to be entertainment with a hope but not expectation of financial returns.
Started the day with my worst spinup attempt since the penny challenge started, but got out just under 4BIs down.
As suspected I was not able to play on my laptop when the milly hand hit yesterday afternoon so I played a little 4nl cash on the phone. Single tabling and being clueless to hand id is a bit of a disadvantage to say the least, but at least I was in it with a chance of winning it. Didn't of course, did panic as just before the regs started to leave the table indicating the hand had dropped one player had shipped 100bbs from UTG and I had mucked my trash.
In the evening for a change I tried my luck at HU SNGs, up a little but a very small sample, funny how rematches are hard to come by when you win a game. Later on took a punt at the dym spinup challenge and completed levels 1-4.
That left me with a B/R of £86.78 which is a nice climb up from 1p in three weeks.
I have a £2.30 token to come as I didn't chase the 500 points, only 60 odd off the pace as well but chasing 500 would have been very high risk as it would probably have meant a bunch of £5 turbo dyms.
This morning completed Level 5 of the dym challenge so I will be looking to take a shot at the £10 game sometime soon.
5 a day looks an interesting prospect so I had better earn my 5 cash points before I forget.
Genuinely can't fathom the level of funds being thrown around at the top end of the Championship this season, I assume it is all a calculated gamble to be at the table for the first season of the even-more-mega-bucks Premier League season, but fear that those that many of those that miss out may be facing some different challenges next season...
lol @ the rest of the footy update
Good work on the spins... can't believe you'd bottle such an easy gamble at PLO20 yet have the heart of a true degenerate when it comes to the spin-up games. We need to get Mrs Duck to stop by and give you some bankroll management tips!
If it's good enough for larry it's good enough for me. I think I know someone who may be a little grumpier about only getting a point though.
Derby shots on target count was exactly zero.
@goldenballz - £9m in the bank but the transfer window has closed. After you beat us the fans were singing we are going up. Recent results have been poor and you have just sold your guaranteed source of goals. Is a 5 point gap safe enough to make that gamble? Maybe the finances are so bad you just had to take the money and that chance?
@shaki - certainly don't think I have cracked spinups, but for double points promos and a quick 5 points I'll take a punt now and again. If my "adjustments" work with some longer term positive results I'll post them. I should not have bought into 20nl PLO game at all.
Week 1 is CASH POINTS ONLY.
That's at least one player who will have a shorter stack than me then?
