ty m8.
just been reading your post up,couldn't really decide what to say about the AQ hand.
think u just got unlucky tbh.
anyway,keep plugging away mate.i'm sure you will get there in the end.
best wishes

at least you got the thought you did nothing wrong,and would prob do the same again.
just stings a bit losing that amount though.
dev
the reason i have such a big b/roll for the £3 & £5 games is quite simple....
i've earnt it.
i've put in the hours & hours of practise,learnt how to play 15 tables and more importantly learnt how to beat these DYM games.
i did withdraw £500 2 months ago,and gave it to my nephew,for his future 18th birthday,so my b/roll after that was just over £500.
that made me feel quite good.
as to holidays.they don't really interest me tbh.as i'm single,what would be the point.
xmas is coming and i usually have around 2 weeks off work then.
i'll continue grinding and hopefully building my b/roll,and when i feel the time is right,i might eventually drop the £3's and move up to the £11's to go with the £5's.
well that's the long term goal anyway.
hope that explains.

not sure about the Exmouth sun mate,plenty of rain that's for sure. lol

ty for the post.
yes for me poker is purely a hobby,atm.but thankfully a winning one.
i wouldn't be playing if i was losing money,that's for sure.
obviously it is different for you,as you have said,using poker winnings as income.
must be quite tough when you get on a downswing i'd imagine.
as for myself,i have withdrawn £1300 out from my sky poker account in total.with that money i bought myself a 2nd 27" monitor and an i7 pc earlier this year,plus a few other odds n ends.
so it hasn't all been just about building my b/roll.
the fact is i actually enjoy the challenge of building my roll,and trying to work my way up through the levels,and continually test myself, and as long as that continues,i'll carry on grinding,day after day.
as to the 15 tabling,i now find it as easy as someone else that might be playing 6 tables,for example.
i have played 18 on a number of occasions and even had 21 going on one session.
in fact i had cut it down to 9 whilst in the process of moving up to the £5's,but got a bit bored,so am now playing more like 12 again, most sessions.
as to the possibility of me getting stale.it's not going to happen.
as long as my body allows me to keep on playing and my mind stays strong,i'll carry on.
best wishes

2nd £5 winning session in a row.must be some kinda record for me. lol
also,1st time i've played more £5 games than £3 games in a session for a long time,which i think shows my confidence is slowly growing playing them.
not getting to carried away though,as i know only to well just how quickly things can change.but it's progress...
at long last!!!
night all

ok session,didn't run well or play well really,so happy only losing 80p.
happy with the extra c4p i'm getting now i've increased the number of £5 games i'm playing.
playing 12 tables,which is just about right for me,atm.
back for another session later.
good luck all.

managed to break even with the £5's tonight,which although isn't great,is acceptable.
the good old £3's ensured the win,which is why i am reluctant to drop them completely atm.
played 15 tables tonight,which could be 3 to many only time will tell.
happy with how the c4p are now increasing.

bit disappointing losing last 2 £5 games on the bubble,but another small win.
good old £3's keep me moving forwards,again.
loving the extra c4p the £5's are bringing me.
up around £350 so far this month,so very happy with my progress,
still looking to improve my figures for the £5's but it's been a massive effort just getting here,so one small step at a time.

b/roll has only gone up by £19.90 for some reason,don't know why.
anyway,got off to a horrible start tonight,but somehow managed to grind out the win,which is pleasing.
nice to see the £5's out-doing the £3's ,for a change.
played 15 tables again tonight,still not sure if i should go back to playing 12.as long as i'm winning i guess it doesn't really matter to much.
only 3 more c4p days left this month,so with a strong finish should end up around the 5500 mark,which would be nice and worth around another £100 to come.
happy days.

nice short session.
changed thread title to spice things up and give me motivation.
i think 5k is easily achievable,just going to have to be patient.
my plan is to carry on playing £3's & £5's until i reach 2k then will consider moving up to the £11's.
back later.

Nice going !
Good luck
didn't think anyone was reading any more. lol
really happy with how it's turned out this month.playing the £5's at long last is now just like playing the £3's,
and of course giving extra c4p too.
i'm not sure of the exact returns for both but i'm sure the £3's are well ahead but i'm sure the £5's are giving me a small profit.guessing it's probably something like 75% from the £3's & 25% from the £5's,atm.
i think next month i will keep a detailed record and then i will have a better idea,even though it is a bit of a job keeping track.
this month,i make it i have won £350 from play with another £100 from c4p to come,which is my best month so far.next month should be interesting to see if it continues,i think.
it's been a long road getting to where i am now with the £5's,but i think at long last i think we are there.
it's all thanks to john connor and his blog,and i am most grateful to him for that.
i had a refresher read through it earlier today,and i found it interesting just how much more information he gave,than i remember.
best wishes,

Was just wondering - When do you think the best time of day it is to play your DYM,s - Do you find it easier in the monings evenings etc?
