big hands, big bets
I used to play only 3 tables at NL4 and probably played a mixture of TAG and LAG but if I were to do it now I would 6 table minimum and just put in a huge amount of volume
Then I played the HU final with Donk... Donk managed to fail to register twice in a row lol, so I ended up playing 2 randommers and I beat both of them games. Then I finally got set up with Donk, started well and then I started to play like a complete fish, bluffed too much and donked off losing 5 - 2
So my hypers for the night were 4 wins and 5 losses @ £3.15 so I made a loss of £4.35, bit annoying but oh well. On the bright side, I still got my £7.07 of C4P to come on Friday so at least that's paid for my donkfest, and it has boosted my C4P for this month.

Cheers for all the recent replies. Not sure what I'll do yet, I'll let ya know next time I play a session whether I decide to up the tables or not. Still gotta get round to recording a session too, by the way is anyone actually interesting in watching it if I do???
PianoPlaya, I'm sticking to a rule of moving up at 50BIs and I'll step back down if I go to 40BIs at that new level.

Looking in good shape to win at least another BI from C4P this month too.
Quote specially for Doh...
Camels were all right in the Jesus times an' that ,but we don't need 'em any more, we've moved on!

What's the best floor of a building to throw a cat from? (if you were so inclined to do so)
Any floor as long as it's above the 7th. Apparently cats like many other small animals have a non-fatal terminal velocity (for cats it's about 60mph). Once they relax, they orientate themselves, spread out and parachute to the floor like a squirrel.
There is evidence of a cat thrown out of a Cessna aircraft at 800feet that survived
A humans terminal velocity is 120mph btw.
...well I thought it was interesting.
I'm off to Nottingham in a few hours for the £50 SPT side event and general drinking and banter, so won't be doing any online pokering tonight. I always get really excited about every SPT, partly because I just enjoy playing live so much more than online, and also just because it's nice to meet up with all the people I talk to online.
I've received my C4P today so that's almost another 2 BIs banked

The quote I've picked for today, I was telling someone it the other day and as I was telling them I realised just how great a quote it is so thought I'd share. I'm not sure who said it mind...
"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in"
People would do good to remember the point of this
So below is my graph since I started playing cash again on 3rd August.
Right, now I'm off to get a session in!
EDIT: The graph above now includes my session last night on 9th Sept.
Well the poker side went a bit rubbish, played the Friday night side event which had a pretty fast structure and I just didn't get any hands or walked into bigger hands. I lasted about 1hr 30mins but only got properly involved with 2 hands.
First hand (this is about 15 mins in), it gets minraised then GoldenB 3bets, I flat call with AK, then the girl next to me shoves, GoldenB reshoves and I think 'right AK aint good anymore lol', and they turn over AA and KK, so dodged a bullet there.
Table was full of people limp/calling with rubbish, so it goes limp, limp, I only have 20BB so shove AQ... again it goes, shove, and reshove lol... I think oh god what's going on here! I think I'm completely dead, find out I'm pretty lucky to be against 99 and JJ but can't hit the board.
But apart from that, was a really good night, I always enjoy meeting up with all the Sky people and having a drink. I experienced my first ever Tighty SnG as well which was crazy to say the least. All in all though, didn't cost too much and was a really good night.
================================================================================
While the SPT weekend was great, my early exit did leave me hungry for more poker so I got in a cash session tonight. It was my first ever time playing 7tables tonight, thought I'd give it a go because I know I can keep up with the speed required just wanted to see how I coped with the overlap. Think it went pretty well to be fair, could probably go up to 8-9 and still be ok, but gonna take it one step at a time, wait til I'm comfortable before I go crazy.
Session went ok, lost a few small pots JUST before standing from all my tables which always feels annoying but still finished with £3.29 profit. So can't complain too much as this is now my 6th winning session in a row. Slow and steady but really happy to see my BR going in the right direction for once.

I've nearly caught up to you in terms of £ profit, so just need to catch up with you, then you play about 11,000 hands and break even, then we'll be about even for win-rate lol.
Stats...
Hands: 4,055
Profit: £50.93
Win Rate: 31.40bb/100
The run good continues mainly thanks to these two donations from the same person...

I know people like to call off light but T high!! Send them my way
Names left in next time please lol... only joking
Will probably stick up another graph in a week or so. Broke the 200 poker points mark at 4NL wooo lol, reckon I can grind that up to at least get a BI or two in C4P.

I had free entry to the DTD games, felt really confident and was really focussed. Was really crushing it in DTD 1 + 2. DTD 2 I 3bet jammed 66 into AA to leave me pretty short (about 5xBB), so shoved next hand KJ into TT and couldn't bink.
DTD 1 went the best, was crushing from the very start, the highest point in chip count was 38k when I was 13/23, then I min-raised K9 5handed, 1 caller, I c-bet K9x flop, villian raises, I jam, he snaps with KQ... runner runner straight
On the upside, I earned a few poker points for free and made £3.15 for the min-cash, Freerolling can never be bad.

It's a great feeling to see my BR going in the right direction, and I still think I'm looking good to meet my target of having £400 for 8NL before the end of October.
So as I was playing on JoinMe and didn't want it to lag for the viewers, I stuck to 3 tables, so decided to play 2 x 8NL and 1 x 4NL. I would have done 3 x 8NL but there was a massive lack of 8 NL tables running. I made a small loss on my 4NL table of £2.24 but I made £12.02 profit on my 2 x 8NL tables, so a total profit this evening of £9.78 and yes that is now 8 winning sessions back to back. Momentum FTW!

Maybe we can figure out some other way of measuring results or something. Gaining on you in terms of profit now, who cares that I've put about 10 times more volume in than you to get it! lol.
Some of you may have already seen when I posted on FB but I've recently replaced real cigarettes for electric ones that a lad in work told me about. They're much cheaper than real ones, they're obviously miles better for you, you can smoke them indoors or anywhere, and they're so similar to real ones. Ok I know it's not ideal still being addicted to something, but I'd rather swap a deadly, expensive addiction, for a cheaper, much healthier one, then I can cut back on this.
My mate in work told me a promotional code for this which changed the cost from £50 to £12 which is ridic cheap for the stuff, 5 cartridges (100 cigarettes worth) chargers and case. If anyone wants to know the site and promotional code then feel free to PM me. Would definitely recommend them to any smoker. I've only had it for 2 days now, but haven't had a real one since then and there's genuinely not even a tiny bit of me that has wanted one the entire time.
Good luck with your challenge by the way. I notice you say ASAP though, try not to rush it, it'll come when it comes, all ya can do is make the right decisions and wait for the money to come to you.

So I've finally overtaken Splashies in terms of profit now, and things are looking good to meet my target of having the £500 for 50BIs @ 10NL by the end of October. The next target after that is having £1000 which is 50BIs @ 20NL by around January 2013.
Good luck with ya next session.
