The goal: to play 300 $3.50 18 man sngs before Tuesday 18th September 2012.

This gives me the experience of a working poker week with a solid plan. The chance to move up to the $7 sngs if I run well. I can only handle about 6 tables at once without it becoming slightly detrimental so this is why I will be playing 50 a day.

Currently I have 83 buy ins for the $3.50s. Will update through the week.

Played 17 today so far. Made a really bad decision so I'm taking a break for an hour or so. $3.07 profit at the moment so doing good. Happy I made the decision to do this challenge.

Ok. I've played 29 games so far. I'm only 4 tabling. Adding one in when I lose or just playing 4 till they're out. I prefer teh second approach however I'm going to have to add in some more tables next time I play. Need to go eat properly and work out so I'm not entirely sure I'm going to get the 50 done today but I'm incredibly happy with what I've done so far. I was a little unprepared for the first day but I'll make up for it over the next few days if I don't finish 50 today.

29 games. $57.80 profit.

A little extra note. This challenge is all about increasing my volume and I have increased my volume already so I'm still happy with my progress today.

So started the day attempting to 9 table again. This session confirmed indeed that I do suck at 9 tabling

I've moved it back down to 6 which I handle really well to try and increase the volume. I crush 4 but it's just not enough.

First update for day2.
12 for -$24.94 (****in 9 tables) :P

Turbo 18 mans. Running so bad today. I can't win a flip at the moment so giving it a break either for the rest of the day or at least for an hour or two until I get that "i can't win a flip" attitude out of my mentality.

Tonight I have an event I can't really not go to so unfortunately I might not be able to complete the 50 quota.

Holy ****. I just won a "flip" haha 99 vs AK vs AK. I guess it's slightly better as they both lost 2 outs

I decided to stop this challenge. I'm really rough at the moment and I don't want to play while illl.My coach should be giving me my first lesson at some point this week so I'm postponing this until after a review of my 200 or so games. Thanks for tye rail. See you next challenge.
