My challenge for this year Mtts only to turn 3.5k into 10k
My aim this year i have chose to play for a new team 4 players that live in the same town play homegames and used to go same pub n play poker as me we talk about poker hands etc all the time and i think its great to get feedback from these players as i would say they are the same level as me or better at me think it can only improve my game talking about hands etc
My goal is to turn my bankroll atm 3.5k into 10k by the end of the year
By doing this i am only going to play mtts as i think this is where i have an edge £11 buy ins or less unless i sattelite in via frenzys
I think i will do this as i am alot more disciplined now i dnt play cash hardly at all now i dnt take shots if i do play cash its on the tv shows when they have mastercash on for an hour
All my other team members of Team munky wish me luck hope u do aswell goodluck at the tables may see u on there

Of to a good start to the day in my new challenge
perspective is a wonderful thing, wasn't that long ago you couldn't beat nl4 )
keep the good work going
mentioned above don't let the variance get you down
Now you have started this you have to update it everyday - £350 into £1000 - same thing isn't it - all relative regarding BRM

cheers rancid may see u on some tables
GL fella. When you say uv improved are you really going over hh's and studying 'stuff'. Or has this improvement come from just playing more and winning. It seems that downswings tend to be inevitable in mtt's. How are you going to combat them?
It will be an interesting diary though but remember diaries have the good as well well as the bad. Do you feel able to show a bad run if it occurs and still maintain a level headed approach to your poker? This may be more difficult than you think but it may be a big breakthrough for you in your approach to poker and tilt. All the best.
So it's still relative regardless of the amount of £'s
Guess just play tons of volume @ £10 MTT's + do sats
like .03% BRM
sounds like a good idea

Hi prof i think the only way u can really learn is by playing when im not playing poker i watch 861 or other poker which i have recorded on sky plus i will post every night after my last mtt which will be around midnight i will post my downswings aswell as my wins this hasnt been a overnight sucess not being co cky but i knew i always had it in me to be a gd player ive been playing for 10 years and love the game and dedicated to the game willing to learn etc i think it helps me that i am single and live at home so i can fully concentrate on the game

The idea not to play above £11 mtts is not becuase i cant afford it its just to be disciplined to prove to myself i can do this and if i bink into a main event for a small amount well thats just a added bonus i have learnt the value of money when having no job so i wont make a mistake like i have in the past learn by ya mistakes
Im glad i lost £600 in the roullette last year best thing that coulda happened to me i have come back stronger as a person and that will never happen again it takes summit in life pain etc to come bk as a better person and i feel i have turned over a new leaf and i wanna do this for my dad n make him proud
Tikay said once its what u do that matters if u raise and they have say j 7 and they hit and u have ak U WANT THEM TO CALL WITH J 7 90 per cent of times u win here
when u go all in with the best hand and they get lucky i used to say what the heck how can u call there u soooooo lucky but now i see it as well i wanted them to call im miles ahead im just diferent mentally about the game and feel alot better for it
Forget the past we all make mistakes and throw away money because we all like a gamble.
Yeah make ya Dad proud.

Atm im winning about £150 a week but i have been on a heater i know its going to be a big step to make 5 figures but i sure will give it a go tbh in mtts i know variance is high but i dnt get frustrated in mtts pay ya money u know where u are u lose with aa u just lose ya buy in where as cash i get more frustrated if u lose with aa your talking a buy in so £50 on 50 nl where as like i say lose it in a mtt only lose ya £5.50 or whatever it is
I agree with bearlythere will be very hard to do as there not enuff mtts during the afternoon
It's easy saying you win £150 a week now, but play long enough and there WILL be periods where you go a month (or longer) without a single cash, if you play 100 tournies a month that is gonna be like £600+ (which is why I think your BRM plan is good).
MTTs as you know are pretty ridic soft on here so you will have no problem turning a profit, but 6.5k in 11 months is a tall order.
Look at this...

And I bet all of them have a few nice ME cashes to help with that.
EDIT: Make sure you update this properly!!! You started a Turbo DYM diary last year and it lasted about a week lol. If you're really gonna do this, and you do have new discipline, then knuckle down, be honest, and crack on!

Hi flashflush i withdraw every 2 weeks to pay for rent etc and other things if i wanna go out with m8es or if i wanna but stuff so every 2 weeks i withdraw £150 and that covers me for the 2 weeks i only pay £60 a fortnight rent so gives me £90 to spend on what i like a nite out or buy summit i like to keep my roll on here dont ask me why if i withdraw a lump sum i will start chasing to get it back probs lol
As i dont play an mtt till about 3.30 pm might by myself a bike or take up a new hobbie get bored during the afternoon saying that i been playing snooker lately down my local club but i wanna lose some weight so might get a bike or exercise bike or summit with my winnings

So summary of day 1
This is all i play pretty much apart from a few more £5.50 mtts and a few more £3.30 turbos but didnt play them tonight as concentrating on main n mini but was a good day with 4 cashes out of 6 mtts so im more then happy
Bankroll start of the day £3500
Balance now £3548.85 profit + £48.85
C4p 1238 = £12.38
hows the cash going for u still playing 50 nl and are u going for the cash champ promo ?
transfer to another site some monies and play MTT's
if your serious about doing this and nothing else, you'll need to spread your wings for the games u need
Not doing so would be silly
what other choice does he have to get the volume in each day
if you have not already IdCU, get a new pc - how many tables u play
PC being imo the most important thing in your job )
I understand there will be periods where he wont cash but given the volume Steve will HAVE to play to get the numbers he is after I think you should change month to week and with that the fields in the tournaments IDCU will be playing aren't that big so I dont think you should be experiencing such large variance on sky, if it was stars then fine as field sizes can be huge but not sky.
Steve - How many games have you been playing in an average week?
Good luck with diary and the challenge. I will follow with interest!
Matt
