Done ok over last few weeks but am not playing as much as i,d like - I,ve got 409 pts so far this month and used to get over 1k every month. I know i can make 1500-2k pts at least if i put the work in and thats the idea for October -
Money wise i,d just like to be in profit but want to get better and the only way is to put the time in so i,m just going to make sure i get over 500 this month 1st
Sounds easy and is to alot of ppl but as its mainly to get me playing and keeping an eye on results more
I thought i,d post it in the Shed as there are enough in GPC and not to fussed how many ppl read it. I suppose its for my own benefit which might sound a bit selfish but something i need to do to improve my game i feel although any comments welcome off course
I,ll update evry cpl of days on progress and types of games which will be a mix of everything low stakes for now and see how it goes
Pts - 409 ( 24/09/2012 )
BR - £40
Cheers
Paul
Played the happy hour at PLO which was pretty dissapointing, after a cpl of basic errors, yet still doing well elsewhere with the $5 and £10 PLO DYM,s - played 3 won 3 today
Decided to have a litle brk after a pretty shocking session in which i,ve never got so many good hands in such a short space of time but lost on them all - will update roll tomorow
EDIT : A bit of damage limitation after half an hour playing 1 x NL4

After losing out in the velocity thought i,d carry on trying to learn to play 5 tables at cash with mixed results. Also noticed the cash promo , but don,t think i,ve got the hours for it
PTS 350
and lost more shortly after although cant be dissapointed as it was just bad bts and no cards
Need to do some adding up but had a quick sesh during the happy hour
Despite 2 losing sessions and 1 winning one only £5.43 down which means i,ve pretty level on cash as i also played the £200 GTD Velocity. Want to get some pts now for the FR in Feb and maybe try and get in the top 40 of the lower tier for Cash Champ promo ( so will have another session when the happy hour starts)
BR £460.74
couldn,t resist another little cash session as i thought i was playing ok : (finding it hard to get action on the PLO tables (which was my target at the beginning of the month) so had to stick with the holem taables but worked out well )

Not far off another milestone (reaching £500 ). I won,t be rushing it but will mainly be concentrating on cash for the nxt 10 days or so due to the present cash promo. I also think this is where my game needs the most improvement . I,ve beaten NL4 for long enough and its only now im starting to feel comfortable at NL10 playing 2-4 tables.
I,ve been reading back through my diary and compared (greghogg and wacko spring to mind) to others i,ve not set any records or been on any heaters but it has been consistant and thats alll i,m looking for really. I,ve tilted once which cost me £91 but its once to many and i,m still very wary of it.
I was thinking about setting a cash target after getting through £500 ( if i get through it) , but decided instead to set myself a target of keeping this diary going for 1 year. We are already nearly a third of the way through and although i do play on other sites occasionly this is my main and favourite site and so far the diary it has done what i hoped it would do - Its kept me motivated and shown how sensible i can be with my BR and most of all i,ve actually enjoyed writing it and keeping a close eye on results.
SO heres to another 248 days
EDIT : Just caught the end of the happy hour but i,m going to have to review my table selection as there were so many regs on the NL10 tables - a lot who are chasing the top spots in the cash promo
DAY 110 (12.43am) - If its after midnight from now on i,m counting it as the next day

Played the happy hour again on 4 x NL10 and was doing well until the end where i lost a cpl of quid but finished about evens and clocked up a few more pts :
Just signed up for the following 4 games to take a brk from the cash. Hopefully i,ll cash in one
Instead of playing it like a satelite from there on in , i played it like a normal MTT showing with A7 on d getting called by 99 which held up. Lesson learnt. I should have just held back a bit as i stilll had over 10 bigs and in a satelite you can go lower depending on how many are left and stack sizes.
I might treat myself anyway and buy directly in, but we,ll see

Both PLO .In the $8 dollar one i min cashed from about 7k ppl for $19 and for the $4 which took forever manged a 4th from 292 for $132 but after having 70% of the chips with 4 to go it ended up a bit dissapointing - went in in front as well each time but there are so many more variants in PLO. Perhaps i should have sat out a bit more and settled for 2nd or 3rd. Really htought i,d win it but its still profit i guess
BR (need to do some adding up first, but not changed much)
Need some pts in the nxt few days as last time i looked iwas 29th on the cash promo leaderboard and am aiming for a top 20 finish and i didn,t play on Sky yesterday due to the games in above post
Just caught the 6pm happy hour but could only 3 tables due to a problem with my screen resolution :
EDIT :
491.52 - 1.66 -31.30 + 24.00 + 1.82 = 32.96 - 25.82 = -£7.14 ( just glad i had that result yesterday)

not sure about whether to tae a brk - just had these 2 hands but i,m getting it in good so maybe i,ll play on
It was standard for me on the flop to get it in =drspite beeing behind
Even tho they happened at the same time this when to test your tilt skillls or lack of them
£483.38 - becaus of the cash losses it made the daily profit £44 and lost £7 today in a long cash session
today - 483.38 +44- £7 - 5,50

I,ve changed the title of the thread
Don,t really like setting targets , but have always wanted to go to Vegas so i,m now thinking if i can turn this into 1k, I,m off to Vegas this year, (around world series time so i can meet up with the other sky regs on here who will be there and support some in the ME)- I know it might cost a little more but i,ve got a little bit of savings i can take out for some spending money
So back to it and good session all in alll after bad start and aprt from 1 mistake where i folded AJ on ajack high board when i misclicked

Cheers for the messages folks . I,m hoping this will give me an even bigger incentive to keep the diary going and get the volume in to get over the 1k mark
I,m going to start with a quick cash session when the happy hour starts then going to stretch my BR slightly and play the £10 60 minute timed tournament on Tele, Never played a £10 one before . Its always been £5 or £3 for 15 or 30 minutes so should be interesting - EDIT - Its only a fiver at 7.10pm
EDIT :
Re -EDIT - Wish it was a 310 Timed tourney now instead of a£5 one - Got 1 hand shown on TV but after that i got 2 bat bts but manged to get it back
After spotting a new Omaha challenge in poker chat sction by JockBMW i decided to give it a go , although probably not a good time as there were a few regs at the lower limits as its only just started today
Finishing for the night - Not in the mood anymore aprt from the £200 FR which i started - Up to 15th but still afew hundred left
