Nice to see I've somehow climbed 2 places to 108th by not playing-now that's run good...
GL to everyone today-looking forward to the Vegas Main semi.
Phil
PS-please don't leave the forum for long, Jac-forum relies on you and about 20 others to continue, and it is the main USP Sky have. I've always found the likes of 2 plus 2 just too big and impersonal. This forum is nice and cosy-except for the occasional needless argument (where perhaps all sides could be a little more tolerant)
1. To achieve top 20 by end of month on Aussie's "best player"- (currently 420th)-up 8 places to 102
2. To win 4 tracked MTTs-won 2
3. To final table 10 tracked MTTs-3
4. To FT 2 Main or Mini-1
5. To end the month in profit-looking hopeful

1. It's too cold, and the water's freezing;
2. Place is full of Londoners, I'm staying in-I'm sure I just saw somebody under 50 years old;
3. It's too cold, and there's no-one here
Happy bunch here-much like a forum of poker players
GL to all today
Phil
I've had that many folds today, thinking of changing my name to Origami
1. To achieve top 20 by end of month on Aussie's "best player"- (currently 420th)-up 1 place to 53
2. To win 4 tracked MTTs-won 3
3. To final table 10 tracked MTTs-6
4. To FT 2 Main or Mini-1
5. To end the month in profit-looking hopeful
I'm currently still running better than normal/expected-hope that continues until the end of the month, so can put some spending money aside for July...

The Strip is one road. On it lie hotels like nowhere else. The Palazzo/Venetian is the 2nd largest in the world. On the same street stand the MGM Grand and the City Center Aria-that's the 3rd and 4th largest hotels in the world. Just those 3 hotels have more than 20,000 rooms between them. You read that right-Twenty Thousand.
It doesn't end there. The Wynn, Mandalay Bay and Luxor are all in the top 10, and there are at least 10 more in the top 50, as well as various just off Strip (such as the Rio). Most are truly luxurious-i have stayed at the MGM, Wynn, Flamingo Hilton, Monte Carlo and New York New York-all have been luxurious, but the Palazzo is EVEN more plush-their "standard" rooms are nicer than most hotel's best room. Look them up online-they are that nice.
I am not much of a gambler, but standing close to a Craps table is genuinely exciting at the right time of day. The other unforgettable experience is just before the start of the last of the Day 1's at the Main Event-you can feel the tension in the air. I love that place.
Good luck at the tables
Phil
We've been the poor relations for too long for me to gloat about (finally) finishing above you. Like most Spuds, I really don't like Arsenal, but have always found their fans (disappointingly) likeable. However, I do feel that many Arsenal fans are being too mean to M Wenger-frankly, with your current team, he is doing well to be pushing for top 4.
There needs to be a massive overhaul of players at your club-there is currently an unhealthy mixture of substandard recent signings, people on the way down after good careers, some who never quite fulfilled their potential, and some good players who seem to want to leave. The 1 bright spot is that 1 of those "leaving" players may well bring in enough money to overhaul your squad a la Bale. In addition, suspect that both clubs will get funds for a Right Back who looks great going forward, but cannot use their pace to get them out of trouble positionally forever
I hope that your health improves quicker than your team, mind. Hope we can go to Vegas together some time
Take care-oh, and COYS
Phil
Yesterday was a better day, although to borrow a quote from the Teekster, felt like I was staying on past beaten horses. A 2nd and an 8th saw some improvement. So:-
1. To achieve top 20 by end of month on Aussie's "best player"- (currently 420th)-up 14 places to 40
2. To win 4 tracked MTTs-won 3
3. To final table 10 tracked MTTs-7
4. To FT 2 Main or Mini-1
5. To end the month in profit-looking hopeful
I'm currently still running better than normal/expected-if this continues I MIGHT be in with a chance of beating my best ever "best player" position of 7th...
Phil
Looking like you will cruise towards the initial goals you set!
Good luck beating your best ever 'best player' position.
Regarding your challenge in general...
I think this is a brilliant way to help focus our play. You had the rough day the day before but can easily see that for the month as a whole things are going well. Sometimes the rough days can give us a skewed impression of how things are going but the challenge keeps things in perspective.
I tend to have a good few days and then a really bad one, at which point I often throw the toys out of the pram and forget I had the good few days previously. I may pinch the idea and set some goals for between now and when the VLV live games kick off in July if you have no objections.
Best of luck with the rest of this.
The best thing about these for me is the fear of failure. Concentrates my mind!
Name and shame them please.
Cheers Phil,
I will start one in the next few days as I don't think it will get in the road of this one. I will just basically be tagging a few goals onto my diary. Doubt I will be doing Aussie's leaderboard thing either as I play different tourneys. May just set some profit goals etc.
Completely agree on the 'fear of failure' thing too
i went to see if you feature in any of the leagues and wasn't surprised to see that you do. several times. if you use the "Find" page you'll see.
the one that you really must look at is the Cash %. this is for 2017 to date to illustrate who has the best cash percentage of games played. check down the list until you see your alias.
then there's the one that shows....
ps. excellent stuff.

pps. oh, and you are currently 81st best player, one of the top 50 win% players and your points per game is in the top 50.
ppps. i'm envious.
i am one of your 6 followers phil.
