    In Response to Re: **** SEPTEMBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD ****:
    After my hols ive played for 2 days now, and showing an initial profit over mon/tues of £157.21. No longer feel a cash donk and been playing a lot of nl40/50 as well as hu sngs. Had one nice pot yesterday 3 way of £180 and my pocket aces stood up!! Also lost a buyin at nl40 to scotty77 when i flopped trip jacks and hit my fh on the turn, playing it coyly till the river when I put a value bet in to take the pot down then SLAM, scotty chucks all his chips in, the card that made my fh gave him quad 5s, sick ! Gonna play less turbo dyms as these are a big leak and I now dont think they are worth the effort because of the rake. My cash for points target is still 10k, as it brings a tidy bonus and perks in, but JJ rightly pointed out focus should be on profits rather than rakeback.

    Ok spun another 55 odd quid profit, would have been more if dohhhh/jj hadnt cajoled me into playing those hyper donking sng thingys. Total profit for the month £213.31. Havent played anywhere near the normal sng volume that I normally would but its early days yet.

    I don't usually tell bad beat stories but this one's quite good.

    I manage to get 80% of some guy's stack in with AA v KK on a 623 board, for him to spike a King on the turn.  The very next hand I get 55 and UTG min raises.  I haven't had time to top back up to 100bb, and I decided that I didn't have a big enough stack to make a call profitable, and not a small enough stack to make a shove profitable, so I folded.  I would have flopped a set and rivered a full house.  Damn King on the turn.

    Session Profit: -£7.31

    September Profit: -£14.00

    I had a go of the new Sit n Dohh today, played 1, won 1 (and it was against Doh actually), so was about a fiver up from that. Then I did about 3 hours of 2 tabling 10NL and grrrr why do I always make a profit then towards the end on my session, I loosen up (sometimes just for like 30 seconds) and it always seems to be just long enough to lose a big chunk of my profit. So managed to turn a profit of about £10 into a loss of about £11 :)

    (But only £6 down for the day, thanks to Doh)

    BR 1st September: £226.83

    BR 7th September: £219.81

    Profit: -£7.02

    Played in spells all day today and spent alot of time just watching tables and making notes etc.

    Days play started bad with me making stupid calls etc to go about £200 down at one point but after just targeting certain players and leaving tables once they had gone i turned my initial loss into a good profit for the day.

    Didnt play any tourneys today only played cash.

    Days profit +£327.91

    Months running total at present +£2025.23

    Hours played in first week of month = 67 ( feels like 267 lol )

    Good luck. early finish for me off to kip now.

    Just a thought here.... I don't wanna rain on your parade but you've made 375 points and in your first month you get £5 per 75 points which means you've earned £25 worth of bonus and your BR is only £24. Thus at the moment, you are a losing player at 4NL, you are down and have actually lost more at the cash tables that you deposited on the site... only through the Sky bonuses are you not bust.

    hmmm let me get back to you on that one, there is some maths here that will prove that statement in correct it has to do with how much i have earned this month, when i started taking my poker seriously, however you are correct i have lost more then i started with back in august

    In August i deposited big for recreational purposes, and after playing STT's out of my bank roll i lost so much of it, but i netted 184 points.
    i had done something stupid and gambled it away on the roulette wheel and lost my whole lot, but then £5 randomly appeared on the 1st, this was obviously one of the £5 i had earned playing on the tables, anyways, i decided to take my poker game seriously and improve, so from the 1st i have played and earned 191 points
    which is only £10 worth of bonus' 
    So since the 1st of september taking out any bonus' i earned this month i am still £9 in profit
    Which means that from when i started to build my bank roll, i have been a winning player?

    Ok but your profit so far is £19 and you've had £25 of bonuses.

    I'm not having a go. But after the first month you won't get these bonuses any more (except very low Cash 4 Points at 4NL) and at that rate, it won't take long to go bust. I only point this out because looking at a few of your hands from the clinic, I think you need to tighten up your opening range and play much more straight forward...bet your big hands, check/fold when you don't hit.

    Sorry I replied before I saw yours. Ok fair enough, yeah ok you're up on your original investment then lol.

    It just seemed weird that you'd got £25 of bonus and had a BR of £24, just thought I'd warn you.

    no its perfectly fine :) im glad that you would warn me at something like this, and when you pointed it out i also thought to myself hmmmmmm thats interesting, and then thats when i thought about it a bit more xP

    like if you look at sharkscope, it will say i am $100 down, so whats that about £70?
    this is what happens when you play £10 HU with a bankroll of £100 lol, then i managed to get my money back playing roulette and so thought was easy till i lost every penny :(, never again, ill stick to a game of skill over the game of luck anyday :)

    and my aim is eventually get good enough so that the money i lost wont really matter, and i know ive improved alot this month, i used to deposit and then lose it all within a week playing out of my bankroll, and chasing bonus' which is very bad xP

    In Response to Re: **** SEPTEMBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD **** : Uneventful day today. Played the usual few Omaha MTTs and a deep stack (hand that crippeled me saw my KK lose to A9s late in first hour). Finished runner-up in one PLO8 tourney and that £16.50 win covered all my buy-ins. Also made it through today's survivor. Balance today: +£0.10 Balance month: -£21.44
    Posted by Giant811
    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

    Had a truly horrible session of 10NL tonight. My biggest losing session since I started playing cash a few months ago. Lost about 4 BIs...£45.14 to be exact. I think a little bit of this can be put down to bad play but I don't think I did TOO much wrong, but I've never lost 4BIs in a session yet after a few months of cash tabling so I guess it was bound to come. Think I'll take a step down to 8NL til I get my roll back up to the £200 mark.

    BR 1st September: £226.83

    BR 8th September: £174.67

    Profit: -£52.16!

    Wow Day 9 and my headache just isnt going away, my car insurance just ran out, and since im moving to Northern Ireland in 2-3 weeks theres no point taking out any insurance till the move, which gives me plenty more time to play on the tables, 

    Todays 2 main hands consist of QQ, both occassions, the first one i got a called for 3/4 of the pot, but he soon gave up on the turn netting me 50p
    and the second QQ again i had the over pair :) this time just had 3 callers of 20p but nobody calling after the flop netting me 60p, almost £1 up for the day so prety happy with the outome and got work later so probs wont have too much time over the next few days... I wished i had called it a day now, i went on to one of the tables, and had my over pair demolished by trips, and then my trips demolished by a flush, starting to feel the frustration burning :(
    After a small break i moved table and a guy with £8 was sitting with us, wasnt a hand i would normally play but was in the BB and got a free look at the cards, 2 chances to hit my open ender, a raise of 10p i figured the pot odds were in my favour, also the implied odds were there since he had all that cash by his name, a 2 appears on the turn no help to me but gave him 2-2-2 he was holding K-2, so with 3 of a kind he checks it to me, i get a free look at the next card wherei hit my straight :) happy days, he then raises me, i re raise, he re reraises, i re re reraise him all in, he calls and i get my money back that i just lost :) +50p profit lol

    Another losing day.

    Played one table of £100nl and lost exactly £105 due to me trying to bully a very tight player off a pot when once he calls my flop bet i should know he has a monster and shut down so yet again mybad lol

    Think it was hurst05 who said on this thread that some players on site might aswell be playing with their cards face up and he is definatly right about that so when you pay these players off you only have yourself to blame :(

    Off for a night out in newcastle tonight so wont be on again today.

    Running total = +£123.82

    Very best of luck to everyone.

    Felt like a long session but only 270 hands, got a few decent spots, a few coolers and one spot where I suspect I could have got a daddy pot against a different villain but it's still some sort of profit which is better than losing lolz.

    Session - £5.38

    Current BR - £305.52

    Total hands - 4570
