    Jenny was a great idea for september, just hope I can post a profit this month again playing low stakes, which can be a real grind. GL all.

    Read last months thread and its a great read so I'm in.  I had previously worked up to NL10 but withdrew some cash so having to start back at NL4

    Starting Bankroll = £79.07
    Monthly taget = 5figs like Lol_Raise but will settle with 5-10BI's
    NL4 - 4-6 tables.
    C4P target = 500  (will try for 1000 but this is a lot at NL4 so will see how I get on)

    Will have to start tomorrow night as NL4 will be crazt tonight so gonna stay out the way.

    Good luck everyone.

    Yep ok I'm in again.

    Will be embarrassing if I don't get something going this month tho, 1.25k is the "realistic" target. If I get there early I'll try not to sak the rest of the month off, but prob will.

    Hasn't started great, been sat at the PC for 45 minutes and haven't played a hand.

    Good Luck all.

    edit - will also be monitoring my sports betting this month too, which i normally just merge with my poker wins/losses. I'll use this thread to do so. 
  • edited October 2011
    Starting bankroll - £101.30 (should have £5 cfp to go onto that)

    Target - put 20% on the bankroll, 500 points, & play at least 2 Monday night DTD's.
  • edited October 2011
    Ain't played for about 5 days which feels like years lol but once an hour in like never been away. Not too many massive losing hands just 4 all around 22bb range and a few decent winning ones but frustrating losing ones like flopping 2 pair in BB against a player who limps AQ hits top pair but catches up on turn.... Small overall loss bu just flesh wound compared to what it can be like.

    Start BR - £290.54

    Session - -£5.54

    Current BR - £285.20

    Points - 41
  • edited October 2011
    Starting BR - £21.67.
    No specific money target, just make as much progress as possible in the DYMs.
    C4P Target - 2000pts.
  • edited October 2011
    i'm in again with this
    last month it helped me focus i think and as a result i had a decent month and broke 1000 points for the first time at nl4! anothe month like that and i should be moving on up to nl8!
    doubt i'll be able to put the time in this month as it is a busy work month, but we'll see
    hope to start tonight if i get back in time for the 8pm start of the "biggest stack on a nl4 table" challenge.

    good luck to all

    Count me in again guys.

    Quite enjoyed the winding down feel of typing out my badbeats etc at the end of the day

    It sort of exercises any demons :)

    Good luck all for another month of grind :)
  • edited October 2011
    Ok goals for this month are.

    40k C4P.
    To win a main event MTT on Sky
    To win a roller tournie

    I also have 3 live tournies this month (DTD300, GUKPT Coventry and the SPT 6Maz at DTD) and  would like to cashx in at least one of these.

    But yeah my main goal for this month is the huge C4P target.  In November there are 2 GUKPTs running (Blackpool 1k£ and Grand Final London 2.5k£) and unless I hit that figure I won't be able to play both which I really really want to.  So gonna be a big month for me this month and hope I can get some serious sessions in.

    Good luck all :)

     Going to be joining in this month. Returned to SKY middle of Sept and enjoyed reading last months thread. As a few have said I find this type of thing a great way to maintain concentration and focus. Going to be playing mainly cash at 50nl and will also be trying my luck at a few MTT's.
     Main targets for the month are to show a profit of £500 on the cash tables, and a profit of any kind on the MTT's. Not very good at MTT's but do enjoy them and believe it is only a matter of time until I crack one. Have a great October everyone and may the poker gods be with you.

     Not the best start to the month. Played the main event, didn't rebuy or add on and finished just out the money in 47th, taking 2 bountys for a total loss of £5.
     Played on Mastercash 9 and lost £88.

     Cash Profit = -£88
     MTT Profit  = -£5

    Funny day, had a bad session earlier tonight, was down about $150ish, 27 on 2 tourneys rest on cash, i was going to call it a night......

    ...but before i logged off i scoured the tables for some unknown reason and seen 3-4 tables with really bad fish seeing flop 40-49%......

    ...to cut a long story short i fought back my deficit and as a bonus i made profit....

    so far +65.34

    Moral of the story look for easy money before you log off lol

    Gl all for October

    A better start to this month than i had to last month.

    Played 4 different sessions of £100nl today then a few mastercash tables tonight. no Mtts today.

    Session 1 early hours of this morning played 4-5 tables, all pretty standard stuff = +£202.55
    Session 2 this morning same again standard stuff = +£132.29
    Session 3 afternoon. The dreaded badbeats started to hit me but managed to pull it around towards the end for another winning session of only £58.77 but after the beats i had it felt like alot more :)
    Session 4 at around 6pm all went ok with all my hands holding up but no really big ones among them = +£137.52

    Last visit to the tables today was on a few mastercash tables and the badbeat demons were out in force lol,
    not too much damage though for a loss of -£97.27

    Total profit so far this month = +£433.86

    Will be going on the tables again soon but busy watching yoyo hopefully winning the 8kbh first and will put any p/l off those on tomorrows update

    Good luck all.

    I liked this thread last month so I will participate again.

    As I mentioned before, I play for fun, so I will only play games I enjoy, which are PLO/PLO8 MTTs with the odd NLHE deepstack thrown in (mostly forum DTD). I still want to improve as a player and remain a winning player, so my goal for the month is to turn a profit, and I would like to have a good showing in OHL2.

    I got off to a pretty good start today. I played just about every PLO MTT as well as 3 PLO8 tourneys. I played 9 PLO bounty hunters, won 3, got some bounties in 3 and busted 3 empty-handed. I didn't cash 2 £1.10 PLO8s but finished runner-up in a £3.30 mtt for my best PLO8 score in a while. In the evening I played the 3 £20gtd PLO mtts and cashed 2 as runner-up. The last one was the craziest I have ever seen. People were potting and shoving left and right and I was somewhat lucky to get 2 or 3 double-ups and just stay out of the way until the others had knocked each other out. I started heads-up about 12-1 dog, got it back to even but the lost to a typical Omaha hand where I was ahead with a straight without redraws and was outtrawn to a bigger straight.

    Overall 6 cashes out of 15 played for a profit of £23.18, and right now I'm in the top 20 of the MTT league. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

    well a fairly decent start on nl4 - up £6.11
    was trying for a lot more given the challenge this evening but didn't get the situations.
    once i even "folded" aces after a disconnection which was not nice!

    Played 55 hypers yest, pretty poor volume for me. Bit of cash too and ended up playing nl4 on IRs challenge.

    Managed to double up but got bored (I do easily) so cashed out with around £6 profit. Steady start to the month £90 quid profit soo far. Cash for points 287.

    10k is easily achievable this month(my personal target is 16-20k). One thing I would say about the hypers is that they start up mid morning for an hour, then go dead over lunchtime and start getting busy again mid-late afternoon. Havent figured why the traffic aint there but when I used to play turbocharged there was a game pretty much all day.

    Also got egged into a sports bet by jj aka dohhhhhh. If Chelsea and Barca win today, I win a tidy sum for 6 correct selections. I have permed them down to 4 folds, so hopefully at least one of the two wins it will be a steady profit.
     
    Also a nice side bet where jj said everton would win the merseyside derby, I took pool for £5. He then wanted double or quits, I offered it to him on Spuds vs Gooners but for some insane reason he took wolves to beat newcastle !  Easy money .....

    Another good session mainly defined by one mahoosive hand with Aces where I scooped 150bb's via two players. Rest was pretty cagey stuff, never getting my opponants to have a hand when I did but overall anything positive is great.

    Start BR - £290.54

    Session - £14.64

    Current BR - £314.76

    Points - 119
