Thanks man I'm glad someone is thanks for posting anyway letting me know I like posting it keeps me motivated even if no one else is posting. But it's nice to have someone post once in a while

So pretty boring day tbh! Started off going downwards and ended up like $2 up for the day so not to bad! Breakeven days are fine.Just gotta face the fact that you won't always do well in this game I suppose haha.

But are bankroll is growing at least. Slowly but steadily I'm happy with what I have achieved so far as I have never been able to stick to BR management very well but this time I have been strict and have ended up doing pretty well I think that was a large part of why I always went busto :L haha

Hoping to take a shot at the next level in a few days if I can get my bankroll up a bit more maybe play 1 table $3.50 and one table $1.50, although today I have been adding in a third table here and there sometimes which I think went okay and didn't make me lose focus too much :L

So guys didn't get to post yesterday as my internet went out at the end of my session, luckily not during :L haha Well yesterday started of terribly and was down about 13 buyins or so at one stage then I started playing the 0.76 hypers three tabling and had a nice wee run at them and ended up profiting like $30 for the day total and also done alright playing in them today. The only problem with them is though is that I a basically earning little to no VPPs. But i suppose profit is better than VPPs. Also if I am going to be playing lots of these I will definatley reach my target of 2000 SnGs as they are so quick and I am 3 tabling:

Pokerstars BR: $140.14 (highest its been)

This months graph:

So today was a bad enough day, lost about $10 or so which isn't so good :/
Definatley think I will make it for the sit and gos, should destroy it, might up it till 2250 at least! Yeah I'm gonna do that, I've been putting in good volume when playing these small buy in satties :/
The VPPs are impossible to get playing these though which is unfortunate but as long as I can stay silver star I don't mind

Pokerstars BR: $130

Graph:

So dropped like another $10 today :/ Not so happy. Been pretty tired lately which I think has something to do with some of my bad plays maybe! But hey we are still up for the month and with bonuses up like $40 for the whole challenge. Tomorrow is another day and I have a stellar reward coming my way soon definatley get it by the end of the week. Also haven't been playing the standard hypers, I've been playing the satties so these haven't been counting towards the sng leaderboard. I will have to get on that and try and make the leaderboard for the month.

The Variance is real :'( Or I'm just bad.
The day before yesterday went badly, yesterday went badly and today went badly. When will I get out of this down swing?
The only positive is I had £2.50 on Argentina to win on penalties last night so decided to put the profits into my poker account $20 into pokerstars and $10 into FT.
I really need some better luck

Hopefully tomorrow is a good day

Pokerstars BR: $110
Fulltilt Br: $17

Pokerstars Graph:

So was actually doing pretty well today at the start final tabled like a 70 man on Fulltilt and ended up like 6th for like $6 lol. But then I decided to play roulette (stupid idea I know) and lost my whole FT bankroll. Fulltilt has pretty bad MTTs IMO during the week days so im just going to delete it and play on stars full time so I don't tilt of my bankroll in the casino :L haha

Pokerstars BR: $115

Haha went mad and stuck $15 on red to get my $15 back that I lost and won! Now to delete Fulltilt for good :L haha Money back into stars :L

Pokerstars BR: $132.07

So it really has been a rough couple of days. The last 400 games or so have been a downhill stretch, I put in good volume today, over 100 games and am down $15.

I really think I need to start and out more time into studying as I'm really not analysing my game at all. I watched a video today and have been reading through a few of the forums on here which I am going to do after I type up this post. Maybe reply with my opinion on a few hands or something. Before tomorrows session I will have a look at my games in pokertracker and see if I can identify any leaks in my game.

I've been really demotivated due to my results lately and started thinking that I'm a losing player and theres no point in playing. Although today reading some posts about variance etc has got me motivated again. Even the best players can go through 1000's of games losing especially when playing hypers where the variance is high. I may not be the best player but I believe if I can study hard and work on my game I can become a winning player. Hopefully tomorrows a better day. I'm on pace for my goal of 2250 games. VPP goal is'nt looking so good as I'm playing satties :L

Pokerstars BR: $110

Looks like I've done better than I thought the last couple of days haha Played in 3 MM events today min cashed in one and one I got majorly sucked out on twice and the other was either my bad play or just not hitting cards, nothing I could do :/ but sure it was fun playing in some of the bigger buy in events

I also unlocked a VIP bonus today worth $10 which is nice and used my fpps to play a sattie and won got another 11 from that. I'm gonna use all my fpps for those because I think I can make more from them than buying the 1000 fpp $10 bonus, I can play four of the satties for that and only have to win one to get $11 :L Not going to be playing tomorrow as I will have no internet and am visiting my GF in hospital all day!

I feel like over the last three days I've put in really good volume tbh! Just over half way through the month hopefully we can maybe reach $200 by the end of the month, who knows. Gonna take some shots at the $3.50 when I get to like $170.

I love playing the satties though. I can 6 table them with ease and it doesnt effect my game as its basically just shove/fold play.

Pokerstars BR: $150.11

Had everything in bold typed up for yesterdays post and internet cut out so thought I'd post it tonight

Today wasn't bad to me either, decided to join 888 for the $20 bonus or something and you start with $2 cash and I played some zoom or whatever its called over there. Ended up joining a $500 GTD for $2.50 and finishing in 7th not bad picked up $26 or around it so I've requested a withdrawal and gonna transfer it to pokerstars as soon as possible which will help with moving up stakes

Also played like a half an hour session and am up $5 Heading of now and will continue the grind tomorrow. No point in putting up a graph tonight as I haven't played barely any games :L

Pokerstars BR: $155.10
888: $26.77 (transfer Asap)

888 has a casino and I don't want that roulette problem coming back haha

So had a decent day yesterday with a deep run in MM event 43 but made a stupid mistake and ended up cashing for like $8. Today so far I'm down like $17. Not running well at all, think I make take a break today, don't know if I'll play anymore. Ahead of the pace for my games played for the month goal although will be cutting it tight top reach silverstar again.

Really want to move up to the $3.50s soon but want to wait to my BR is over $200, it should have been but I've ran bad today ahwell :/

Heres the graph:


Pokerstars BR: $180

Day 38:

So havent done an update in a while. I've put in quite a lot of games since my last update but got now where, its been breakeven. I just bust out of MM 99 in around 1500th place and I had a more than average stack. I was sitting in 500th position or so and everyone folded to me in the SB with K3s. Blinds where pretty high and there was around 17,000 chips in dead money to pick up. I raise all in and get called by KTo unfortunatley. Probably should have just folded that hand but I will have to learn from my mistakes. Still a profit on that non the less. Probably broke around even in MM with a few min cashes in 3 events I think. Think I played 7 or so. Hopefully I'll pick up a ticket for the all in shootout and maybe pick up a bit of a bonus there

I should reach my volume goal for the month, I am currently on 2,002 games and want to reach 2250.

VPP I have no chance of reaching 1000 VPPS but I hit silverstar again today which is good atleast I'll continue to earn 1.5fpp/vpp. Thats a goal for next month for me is to save all fpps earned for a while untill I can purchase something worth some value. Might save up for the $75 bonus. To keep me motivated towards this goal I am going to start keeping track of my fpps in this thread If yous can advise me on something better to spend them on then fire away.

So I'm going to try and squeeze some more money out of the month. I hope to atleast be over $200 by the end

Pokerstars BR: $183

So haven't played much the last two days as I'm playing badly. Think I'm burnt out a bit gonna take a break and not play much the next two days and then try and kick off August positively hopefully try and bunk a tourney or something to end the summer with some luck :L gonna study my ass off the next two days! Got some books I might make a thread in the book forum to find out which ones I should read :L but for tonight in gonna watch Rounders never watched it before and apparently it's the best poker movie there is so I'm gonna watch it now

Gl all

Br: $160

Yeah so there has been some major tilt the last couple of days and I'm not happy about it. Spewed away some good money. This month I need to change my attitude and put in the hours studying to try and improve my game and move up stakes. Took a break yesterday and didn't play much. Today I feel focused and am ready to put in a good morning session. First hour on the big $3.30 sats and then $1.50s after.

July graph:
This month ended ****!!

My goals for august are as follows.

[ ] - 1000 VPPs (no exceptions this month, it is very doable for me if I put in the hours.)
