    Played quite a bit for me this weekend. Really up and down.

    Played well Sat pm, nearly 3 BI's up.

    Played the £2.20 deepstack Saturday night. Got an early double up with a set of queens, then hit top 2 pair with AK against a bluffer and the lot went in. Unfortunately he had bottom set and I was out within 30 minutes. Switched to cash, didn't play my best and lost a BI.

    Lost another BI+ Sun pm and was starting to get a bit p'd off.

    Down £1.33 for the two days.

    So played the Fantasy football freeroll and binked it for £55. Happier now. :o)

    Account at £197.60 - nearly doubled for October.

    778 points.

    In Response to Re: *****OCTOBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD***** : More runbad. First £20gtd PLO first hand I run 3rd nuts into 2nd nuts house over house, second one I make it to heads-up and don't hit a single flop slowly bleeding chips away, only 5 runners so not even a cash. Made a decent run in the now only £500gtd PLO making the most of the few times I hit anything, but I'm not a magician, I can't make cashes out of thin air. Only 41 runners, so who knows how long this tourney will be around. Hope numbers were artificially low due to SPT, but they have been falling every week. Played the FLOPS event which had everything I hate: hold'em, quick structure, rebuys. Managed to hang around for a while with my initial buy-in, but there never was a chance of me cashing. Didn't quite go 0-fer as I had a min-cash in a £5.50 PLO8. I really hope I hit my usual Saturday form as I'm not used to 2 consecutive losing days and I don't like it one bit. 1 cash out of 6, daily balance -£23.10, MTD balance +£201.88.

    Weekend sucked big time. Due to FLOPS I played way too much hold'em with predictable results. It started with the Scary Rebuy yesterday, the worst structured tournament I have ever played in my life. In the deepstack I actually got a fair number of hands, I just ended up losing all but one of them. I made a decent run in the deepstack tonight, but then ran TT into QQ with about 20 left, no binkage for me. So no cash and no prize in FLOPS for me, I don't plan on paying for another hold'em tournament in long long time. If I qualify for league freerolls etc I'm going to play, but other than that I'm going to stick with Omaha. No boring shove-fests there.

    Somewhere inbetween I won a small PLO8 mtt, but drop in a bucket comes to mind.

    1 cash out of 8, weekend balance -£24.30, MTD balance +£177.58.

    In Response to Re: *****OCTOBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD***** : 23 or so buy ins wouldn't leave you too comfortable if you get a shaky start. You made excellent profit with what you have been doing, why not keep it up for now? If it ain't broke and all that... I didn't really track my profit this month; think I had about 120 or so in account after withdrawing 100/wk or thereabouts in September. Decided not to withdraw anything this month to grow BR and up over 400 now playing weekends only. Tightened up some of my leaks and have become a lot more patient and disciplined, which shows in MTT results. Still make the odd poor decision about whether or not to continue in a hand but normally my instincts/inner nit save me before I bust out. My attitude to bubbling in DYMs is quite indifferent now (obviously I want to win but I don't stress when I don't win the high blinds lottery that is the bubble). Not sure if I should open my shoving/calling range on bubble when stacks are close in size, it's my next area for improvement. PS: Anyone know if sky auto-reg me for UKOPS super sat? Won entry last night and no contact since.

    Can add in a "free" spot in UKOPS £40k event next Saturday worth £220 - overall a good weekend and a good month profit wise. (Won spot in UKOPS from Super Satellite after winning free spot in Super Sat on disastermind.)

    Going to use 50 quid from bet with Carlo to freeroll the Primo or a similar MTT next weekend and if I do as well in that as I did in Super Sat will be happy days.

    Bit of an aside but one of the best things to come from weekend's play was to finally do an MTT with top players on the site involved and do well. I could really see the aggression (especially SimUK) and far less mistakes in the play. Looking forward to doing same next weekend as having consistently done well in the low buy in MTTs I was interested to play against high stakes players.

    have enjoyed reading this thread this month so thought id contribute for a change.

    total for the month was +£1217.56

    took a few shots at 100nl which didnt really work out...one hand really stood out v a huge fish where i got in deep with AA v naked flush draw and lost :(  100nl psychologically beats me at the moment and i keep convincing myself that people are always making a move on me so will probably leave it for a little while.

    overall a good month but cost myself a lot by playing when stressed out with work stuff which im normally better at handling. 

    5000 cash for points which is about normal for me so +£100 there too

    Still running bad, one min-cash in a bounty hunter and twice bubbled when someone slow-played a cooler. Fml.

    1 cash out of 4, daily balance -£11.40, final October balance +£166.18.

    Overall October was an excellent month, but unfortunately I ended the month on a serious downswing, losing about £80 from my peak profit. Here are some stats:

    NLH:

    Played 17, cashed 2, won 1 (heads-up vs Rich), profit -£46.28, ROI -86%.

    Clearly I need to stop playing hold'em, and I will.


    PLO:

    Played 118, cashed 54, won 25, profit +£171.66, ROI +41%.

    Very happy with my PLO performance, especially my improvement heads-up, as I won 25 while finishing runner-up only 12 times. (As I'm only counting cashes there could be some instances where I finished 2nd but didn't cash.)


    PLO8:

    Played 53, cashed 22, won 8, profit +£40.80, ROI +33%.

    Happy with this as well, but still not 100% sure where I am as I had a big winning month in August and a big losing month in September. I hope I can stay firmly in profit going forward.


    With regards to side goals I didn't manage to qualify for UKOPS #2 (I will try again tomorrow, but there won't be too many sats running after I come home from work) and I haven't had any impressive results in OHL yet.

    My immediate concern is breaking out of my slump, and once that happens I'm confident I will show a profit in the November Profit Challenge again.

    NL4/NL8

    Total +£104
    C4P 1710

    All round a good month, cash went ok, DYM seems to be improving and I won a seat to the UKOPS main event )
    So a good deep run there and I will be very happy.

    Going to be concentrating on playing NL4/NL8/NL10 next month and see if I can move up to NL20 by December.

    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.

    Finished the month with a bit of a florish (by my standards).

    Had a short 2 table first session at nl8, finished up £1.39. Just a little taster ready for next month.

    Played DTD, finished 2nd in the cheapstack for a profit over the 3 tourneys of £19.31.

    Account at £218.30

    Profit for the month at the end of play £117.

    Comfortably made 500 points, but due to events away from the game only managed the one DTD.

    Thats my best months profit yet!

    Month started brilliantly which let me jump into NL20 a LOT sooner than I had planned but due to bad luck and probably some bad play I couldn't break through that barrier of around £500 to be comfortable but overall very happy with how it went after the previous month finishing down. Decided to plow on with NL10 next month till I have at least £500.

    Start BR - £290.54

    Finish BR - £414.52

    Total Profit - £123.98

    Points - 1465

    Ok this is what I wrote at the start of te month

    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.

    I missed the 40k C4P.  Got 24k.
    I did not win a main event.  Think I final tabled 1 or 2.
    I did win a Thursday roller for 1.8k :)
    I did not cash in any of the above live tournies.  I did however comes 2nd in a 50£ Turbo at Luton for 690 and did a 1st in the Sky 50£ sidey at SPT for 1.4 so a good month in terms of that.

    Up for the month 3.3k on Sky.  Plus 1k C4P and 1k TSP bonus.
    Up 2.3k live from tournies/cash.
    Down 900 on other sites that I play MTTs on tho :(

    So yeah a good month from me
