Haha, sensational stuff! TDA is to thank for the reporting, wp sir!
Thanks Bobo, I wasn't being serious when I asked for a thread title change but let's leave it like this for now. Will set a challenge after this promo thing for when it can be changed back to what it was and not before.
I got ****ing molested today, thankfully it was only at 20nl but still absolutely rubbish. Woke up and was so motivated to succeed but it was just not my day
Month...
Rakeback (so far, might manage more than £1k after today's efforts)
Plus around £350 in rakeraces. Looking at approx £2600 total for September. Very much needed after that downswing, and gives me a head start as mentioned on where I need to be. Breakdown by stake...
Also managed to break into the top 6 with a nice gap on 7th in the CPT challenge...
Goals for October are to make this CPT package whilst still playing 50nl and 100nl where I can, and then to decide whether or not to play on Stars from 16th Oct onwards. Not setting monetary goals, but another month like this one and I'll be a happy chappy!
Hope everyone has a brilliant time at the EPT. I can get a flight from Glasgow - Malta for like £50, if I win the package I might just go from Glasgow to Malta on 20th Oct, love life at the EPT, **** off to the Dominican Republic for the CPT, then back to Scotland around 10th November a completely broken man.
Not bad for the fries guy at KFC...

Haha one can only dream!!!
Was gonna say wouldn't you rather order a brick but you had plenty of those during WCOOP...
Hahahahahahaha no.
Hellooooooo October! 7600 hands of 20nl, the rest at 50. Looking for hands just now but it's all boring stuff.
Buzzing!

Month so far. I didn't play any poker for 2 whole days and only managed around 6k hands today. Leaderboard hasn't updated but I think I'll still be in top 6 comfortably. Only ten days left, I'm getting sick of grinding and grinding and grinding, but it will be worth it when it's over I suppose!
Had a very heavy weekend and I'm feeling utterly minging just now. I spent around 3 hours with my face in the toilet early Saturday morning. Never again!
best of luck to a legend btw

Thanks mate, appreciate it. Running a lot better and the effort I put in lately will hopefully show between now and the end of the year!
Thailand's not my thing, never know what you might find out there...
No poker today, been helping my older brother clear out his flat for selling it. On the plus side I now have a new pool cue, an N64 and a whiteboard.
The top 6 qualify, top 7 were the only ones who realistically still had a chance and the dude in 5th place last night has apparently unfortunately gone busto, so looking good for it!

Solid idea BM but the package is unfortunately not transferrable/exchangeable/sellable! Plus I wouldn't like to stake a friend of a friend as I wouldn't wanna get myself scammed by an unknown as I'm the kinda guy that'd spend £400 on flights to Belarus to **** his mum up over a £50 debt.
I've been suuuuper busy with IRL stuff since returning to Scotland, not bad stuff, but busy stuff. Volume has sucked and I realised today that I was lacking motivation not because I'm playing so many hands, but I'm grinding 20nl (through choice) and I don't rly care about 20nl all that much. Obviously got great results so far 9 tabling speed to go with the volume, but 50 and above are where it's at for motivation. I played about 3700 hands at 20, started to tilt after a couple of coolers and then put in a session tonight at 50. Felt like I played well, particularly at 50. Will post a couple of hands...
Would rather be lucky than good!
Not sure about this spot, I expect us to be ahead a lot otf or at least have 6 outs. Sucks to get it in so bad!
Probs folding to a shove but his turn sizing was interesting and I nearly took the bait. Think it's wp vs this player though.
Dat 45 second timebank (I messed up sizing otf which impacted whole hand)
Couple of quick bluffcatchers...
Aaaaaaand that'll do! I will commit to upping my volume for the last 8 days of this challenge, but to also try and play some 50nl to keep me as motivated as possible. I've got big plans after this package has been won, just need to get there!
Got a quality joke for you all...
