31 days- diary of the grind

    its all over now. cant say im not glad to see the back of it. its been a rollercoaster. not sure what to say just now about it all.

    at the tables i had a good day at nl4. won just under 15 buyins. not too shabby.

    i think i limped towards the finish line, and i think i got there in the end up. i had been keeping an eye on 2nd and 3rd place to see how much or little as the case was of what they were playing. i had been keeping an eye on haidyboy in 2nd since i reclaimed the top spot a few days back and i hadnt seen him at the tables at all. i thought the danger might have came from king2600 today but i never seen them about either other than lunchtime. til confirmation is released in the morning im taking nothing for granted.

    so heres my final total for the month

    c4p: 15 055

    it is roughly what i thought it would take to be at the top at the start of the month. i thought min 14k maybe 16k would be the winning mark just because 16k was another level up on the payout tier for c4p.

    time to kick back and not think about poker for a few hours, im a little gutted my flashy c4p widget has returned to the plain version now its a new month:(

    Massive well done to you TinTin. I still reckon you will finish 1st in the Kings but regardless of where you finish, this has been an absolutely amazing effort. A great display of dedication and discipline to keep soldiering on no matter how hard it got. I'm sure you're gonna come away this month with a very nice profit and very likely the bragging rights of knowing you won the Kings of Cash without each touching 20NL. Very well played mate. Paul

    thanks mate. we will see in the morning if i got there.

    too many ups and downs to note but im glad i never went higher than nl10 and i will still walk away with a decent result for my efforts

    Congrats Tin.  Haidy ain't played for a few days.  The poor guy hit the wall.  I certainly know that feeling.

    Do you think we will get any sort of promo this month?

    Been along month, make sure you treat yourself!

    thanks, i wondered what happened to him.

    i had an email from the priority about something they are running this month, same kinda thing but just for priority members, dont know if you received it or not but look out. its not something i will be taking up as i play too low.

    dont know about treating myself, probably put some towards the kids xmas

    Its been a hard grinding month for a lot of people, welldone tintin on finishing on top.

  • edited November 2012
    Well done on finishing top, great effort.
  • edited November 2012
    so the final table has been released and i hung on to top spot. it came as a little bit of a suprise as only a week ago i had gave up mentally and was only thinking about finishing 3rd at best.

    it was a really long tough month and im sure a few others felt the same. thanks for all the messages of congrats and i would like to a say well done to all the others who pushed themselves and cashed also in this promotion. it certainly wasnt easy

    would love to say i had a winning month before bonuses but i didnt. i had my worst month in the last 18 months when it came to running bad.

    i had a bad start to the month trying to play too many tables which cost me more than i would have liked. mounted a few recovries to get towards break even but each time i goty within sight it slipped backwards again.

    not too sure the exact figure but it wasnt a big loss overall. the bonus n c4p turned it into a decent payday for the stakes i played

    i had to stick a little extra in because of the start i made. i deposited some around the 8th or 9th. this was mainly because my roll got way too skinny to maintain 12 tables and i never had much behind to top up should i lose a couple of buyins more than i already had. in the end i never touched my contingency it was just there to help ride out some of the ups and downs and help me play without too much fear of busting.
