Nostalgia!
Oh and the NES and SNES....classic gaming. Everything was better in 2d.
Actually, for anyone that is interested, here is a screen shot of my spreadsheet, if it interests you, then PM me and I'll send you a copy. For most people (non OCD maniacs), it's probably a bit too much lol, but the offers there.

The new job is really good though, I can see now why it pays better than all my previous jobs... because they're working me like a dog lol. I've never been so busy in all my life and stressed about having so many things to do. Gonna be sorting it out in work soon for them to give me a laptop, then I can do some work at home... and when I aint working at home, I can use it as a second monitor to play more tables lol!
Take care and run lucky

So last night I 6tabled 8NL for 3 hours, it was pretty annoying to be kicked off all tables during the outage, and even more annoying that when I got back, loads of player hadn't got back so really struggled to get full tables going at 8NL. In the end I lost £6.55, sucks to lose another session but apart from a few spots, I'm pretty happy with how I played, just got in a few bad spots like KK v AA aipf.
Results feel bad at the mo, but I know it looks worse cos I'm losing at a level which is twice the stakes I was recently winning at, so I aint too worried.
Only one hand I was really annoyed about where I completely stationed the river, I had the nut straight and had been betting flop and turn, then villian donk overshoved the river when the flush draw came in, I called like a complete fish and obv he had the nut flush.

So yeah I withdrew after cashing at SPT Cardiff and this is the same roll. It's not exactly gone far since then but I'm happy to just be playing for free basically. I was up to about £350 (if I remember rightly) after doing well at HU Hypers, but then went on a horrible dowswing and lost about £150 at them.
So after a brutal start, I was really not feeling good about things, and then, as is the way with poker, it changed in the blink of an eye, and I went from being about 2 BIs down to being about 3 BIs up in the space of 5-10 mins lol. In the end I was £24.35 up which I'm well happy with.

It was my best (profit-wise) session at 8NL so far, and not just saying this but definitely my best session for a long time in terms of how I played IMO. Obviously I'll post some hands and people may disagree, but there was no spewing tonight at all, no loose calls, think I played really well. Made a profit of £33.33 in all, so a good end to the month and a few extra points for my September C4P.

Bit annoyed that I just missed out on the 1k points threshold but it's only worth like £2 more and it'll take quite alot more time for me to get the extra 27 points at 8NL, don't think it's worth chasing it. My C4P is gonna push my over the £300 mark which is a nice feeling.
Will probably post up more about it tomorrow, but I'm gonna be making a real effort to get into the top 20 cash players for the low tier in the October promotion. Also, I'm aiming to reach the £500 mark by the end of October, so getting in tons of volume for this promotion should make it much more acheivable.
Just looking through my September Goals post and I started the month on £177 and aimed to be around £250 by the end of the month, so I've smashed that
However, I never got round to recording a session for Youtube... will definitely do that during October.
I'll finish the month off with graph, some ups and downs, but definitely going in the right direction
Wish me Luck!
=============================================================================
October Targets
1. Record one of my grinds and stick it on Youtube (like I said I would in September).
2. Do my best to try to scrape into the top 20 for the lower tier of the Kings of Cash promotion.
3. Get into the 5k Freeroll for the Kings of Cash promotion.
=============================================================================
I'm not counting this as a proper goal, as I think setting financial targets in poker is a bad idea, but my 'aim' is to have increased my BR to £500 by the end of October, so I have 50 BIs to start playing 10NL.
I earn around 6 poker points per hour, per table at 8NL, so 6tabling, I'm earning 36 points per hour. I probably play around 18 days of the month, for an average of 2.5hrs so that would give me 1620 points. I'll call it around 1800 points because virtually every single session I play is during the 11pm-midnight happy hour.
Saying it like that has just reduced my chances of getting in the top 20 to near zero lol... but I'm not one to shirk a challenge. I think I can grind like crazy to get maybe 3-4k, and cross my fingers lol, but if nothing else, the increased volume will improve my chances of getting to the £500 mark.
I'm at work at the mo, and have the website bookmarked so I'll post it up later, but basically it's a site where you input your session results and it will give you graphs on loads of different things. You can do graphs based on specific stakes or specific games (if you play NLHE and PLO) and loads of different things. And you can get tons of stats like your average win rate, per hour, per session, your average session length etc. KKrippler told me about it recently and I've found it really useful just for creating graphs.

As Dohhhhh tells me all the time, it's all about momentum, and I've got it going again. Made a profit of £4.15 so that's now 4 winning sessions in a row and a good start to October
Only a small one, but every little helps, and I've now broken the £100 profit mark.

I've as good as written off any hopes of getting in the top 20 by playing 8NL after my calcs in my previous post and seeing how much some are grinding, and how little I've done in the first two days. It was always gonna be very hard for me playing 8NL and the amount I'm limited to playing due to work , so I was gonna have to be full on sicko from start to finish so just 2 days lost is probably too much.. I also still want to have a girlfriend by the end of October lol.
To be honest, I think alot of people will go mental for the first week or two but get bored/burnt out/whatever and not do half as much in the 2nd half of the month.
Quote of the Day
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
Very up and down, won some very big pots, and lost some very big pots, sigh at getting it in with KK v AA again, but the more I play, I just think it's completely standard now. I don't mean that in a negative way, just that I know it will happen sometimes so no point worrying about it. Finished with £13.52 profit, and I got my £7.78 C4P paid today too.
