    Still fighting back, although it is becoming clear that I must lose a couple of buy ins at the beginning of every session to really test my un-getting-stuck-ness. The earlier fire has been put out to: -762.14

    In Response to Re: **** SEPTEMBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD **** : Uneventful week so far. Played the DTD and my usual mix of PLO and PLO8 MTTs, min-cashed about half of them, but with the low number of runners that sometimes doesn't even double the buy-in. Total balance Monday-Thursday: -£0.20 Month to date balance: -£21.64

    Took a few days off then slowly got back into it with my usual mix of PLO and PLO8 mtts with the odd deep stack thrown in. Ran/played bad until today, when I nursed my buyin + addon to 4th place in the new £1000 gtd Omaha rebuy tourney for a cool £121.05 score (about 25% of my bankroll). Last hand the river gave my opponent the nut straight to beat my flopped straight or it could have been even better, but that's poker :)

    Balance since last update: +£95.80
    Month to date balance: +£74.16

    Had violent swings in profit since my last update, went back to break even at one stage until the last two days which have been very lucrative.

    Now played over 500 hyper hu sngs, and showing roi of 5%. I recogn you need to play at least 2000 before you can say whether you have beaten them.

    Total profit for the month £347. Cash for points 4.1K.

    Don't think you should blame them, without that £80 cash earlier in the month you'd be close to breakeven if anything keep at it ;).

    Well not really cos im winnin say £30 on the cash tables and spewin most if not all playin TOO many mtt's . really i know i should maybe limit myself to just 1 mtt of a night and solely concentrate on cash cos obv then my profit should go steadily upwards.
    As players were tellin Thedon_90 , if ya make more profit at mtt's then play mostly those , so maybe the reverse would work alot better for myself, tho he is now makin money playin cash at the mo

    Alright update for Thursday.

    Really annoyed with myself, didn't pace the boozing and found myself sat on 200nl before 7pm.

    Classic sign that I've hit it too hard.

    Did ok though, won 80 quid on that table, but inevitably it was all downhill from there.

    Played the BH, and bust without winning a hand, standard.

    The site was really playing up though, and instead of just calling it a night, I decided if I could only 1 table, I'd 1 table 100nl, deep.

    Proceeded to put 200 quid in, after calling a 4b out of position with pocket 3's, and c/raising all in on a 5 6 8 flop. lol

    NH YOYO. again.

    Really annoying, because it's my first losing day for like 6 weeks, and totally needless, and entirely my own fault. 

    Obv tilted and ordered a chinese too. fml.

    Total for month = +226.50

    Points 1337

    Takeaways - 28.78

    Got a standard knocking about from LOL_Raise on the cash tables but luckily played a lot better against the right people.  Still cutting into the losses.  Unstuck the horrendous cash losses I had in the first week or so in the month but still without a decent MTT cash.  Haven't played a DYM all month which is very odd for me but I was inclined to concentrate on the cash tables in September as I have neglected my cash game over the summer.

    At one stage was down £150 for the day, clawed it all back with some soft hyper games last night and made a small profit for the day. Total profit for the month £361. Cash for points 4.6k, will need to motor now to ensure continued priority status. The ability to pull a "sickie" will help!

    Just got around to posting yesterdays score now because got flu and couldnt be bothered

    Started early morning on 6 x 100nl tables and in the space of about 15mins i went 4 buyins up then back to level and ended up winning £224.44 on session.

    Played on low stakes for the rest of the day (badley lol) but still managed to make another £34.97

    Played the main and the mini on the night but in all honesty shouldnt have bothered because the flu was really starting to kick in by then and i ended up just doing stupids things in both tournys just to get some sleep and went out of both within 2 hands of each other.

    Cash on day =+£259.43

    MTTs on day =-£19.87

    Profit on day =+£239.56

    My monthly running total = +£5119.26

    well im not gonna post mine just yet, a few disagreed hands got played and i lost a BI last night, and another i had AA, with 8 9 10 board, guy calls my all in with K 9 and hits the king on the river losing me yet another BI, seriously thinking that cash games arent all that worth it at the lower levels, but ive started to make notes of all the people making bad calls against me and getting paid off so i can start searching for them in future :) if they are willing to put there stack in on MPGK then i definately wanna be up against them from now on

    Had some more wild swings on the hypers then hit gold and won 100 quid in a short space of time on the 20 quidders. Total profit now £437. Cash for points 4.9k. 11 days to make the holy grail......

    One thing I have learnt this month is my most profitable game is hu sngs, should never have lost focus and tried other things like dyms. My cash game has however improved from being a donk to a semi donk, so at least some progress there.

    Had a break of 3 days just to loosen me up playing MTTs and unfortunatly came back to much of the same. 4 major hands going against me, AA facing a limp and 4x, I 3bet get flatted b/c J104 flop allin they have 10's.... Next, limp I make it 4x get a min3bet behind so I stick in a chunky 4bet which just gets flatted amazingly, flop I shove for pot bet on J103 flop get snapped off by J10 lolz.... also a guy who has done it once before with nowt open shoves for 53 bb's I snap with AQ they have J10 and catch up....and lastly a set gets beat up by a flush that always hits for 84 bb's. Managed to claw back 1/2 a BI just now but overall variance still taking it's toll, another day I could have been £30-40 up easily...

    Start BR - £344.76

    Session - -£24.38

    Current BR - £287.49

    Hands - 7360
