Beating the Unbeatable - A Quest
i have been toying with the idea of starting a diary for a while now and ive finally talked myself into it. theres a few reasons behind my decision to do this.
some may ask why now, well i have free time again thru the lack of work. ive had a couple fall thru at last min in recent weeks and with nothing on the horizon at the moment i need something to focus on inbetween job searching.
im not in this to move up the levels, well not just now anyway as theres a few things stopping me from feeling entirely comfortable at the minute. these mainly being the money values involved playing higher and the lack of a semi competent pc system. i want to rectify the 2nd issue before dealing with the 1st.
ive been successful in the past at nl4 and i want to continue that trend thru this.
im going to be redepositing £100 of previous months winnings some time today to start me off. i will start playing once it becomes the month of june. i am not setting any profit targets over any time period as i feel that puts too much pressure. i just want to build on what ive done before and hopefully be able to cream some off to invest in a decent machine at some point before tackling the nxt step up the poker ladder.
because im used to playing alot the only real target im setting is to hit the 4000 point mark thru c4p, ive done it before and it wasnt easy but this figure may change as the month goes to nearer 3500.
i will try to update my progress on a day by day basis.
i know some will say "oh no not another micro stakes diary" but its more about self motivation for me.
anyway heres to running good and to whoever reads gl at the tables to you

Plz pm me your timesheet so i dnt have to play you lol.
on a good note this diary i think will be the best for low stake players to read, our man here has knows this level inside and out and i hope that, this reflects in this diary.
@don90 thanks for your kind words. i'll be on a lot but between 2am-10am i wont be making many appearences lol. should sky run their happy hours this bank holiday weekend then i will be on more than normally
i,m confident you will do well,
gl,

Excellent. Good luck Mr Tin.
Today's useless fact. I'm sure that back in the day there used to be a TV Series about a clever dog, called Tin Tin.
Good luck with the Diary, and at the tables.
cue massive run bad !
Maybe post some value hands and just show how easy it is )
Go for it TINTIN,having come up against you quite a few times i know you beat this level comfortably i will look forward to your updates.
im not sure how this diary will progress, im not one for posting too many hands but if i play something bizzare i will certainly dig it out and believe me ive played a few.
IDCU you make some valid points, theres day where break even can be a good result and even days where a marginal loss is as good as a win. im going to be honest about results and hopefully be more honest about my own play. ive opened myself up to be shot down if things go wrong.
ive done this before privatley where most months i start at £50 and spin it up but because ive started this i wanted a little leeway br wise to not be under too much pressure. i could actually do with bumping into my favourite fish in the nxt few days (rancid, you know who he is lol)
anyways roll on midnight
wont divulge names but they are quite infamous. ive been sat at the tables with the stacks of the 6 players combined pushing £150

i think the longest ive played with only a toilet stop or going to get a drink is about 6 hours
ive always been a nightowl so find it hard dozing off at nights, this has been the case long before i started playing poker. even when i was working and starting at 6am i was still awake gone midnight

Looking forward to this TINTIN, this might be just what Don needs.
