Yeah. I can't complain much though as it pays the bills + decent career prospects.

23rd of June Update
Dropped $111.10 over 40 tournaments. This number is from pt4 so it will be slightly off if I one any bounties. Can't really remember since it was a pretty bad session.

That would put my bankroll at $118.14, give or take any bounties I won.

25th of June Update
Played 15 tournaments today with a few deep runs.

7th in $5 featherweight $500gtd 9 max for $20.80.

Gf came back from her Holiday so been spending time with her. Also been doing some stuff work, hopefully working towards a better job.

Got some free time tonight though to get some mtts in.

Cool thread man.

Good luck! I read all posts, and I like the format you use (mentioning all tournaments played).

Good luck bro!

Had some family stuff which meant poker just wasn't a sensible investment of my time. Thinks are ok now so I'm back at it.

Just on Stars just now. Balance is $50

Figured the thread could do with some details about myself. My name is Jamie. I am 28 and from Scotland. I stay about an hour away from Glasgow. In terms of poker I'm not that good, despite having played for 10 years. Good in pub games but in terms of online I've luck-boxed a few wins but nothing spectacular. Away from the felt I work in retail which pays the bills. It has the potential for good career prospects though which I am looking to aim for over the next year.


Me at works Oscars night. I won the peoples choice Oscar. "most likely to be send home from a works night out because he was to drunk"



Not really sure what goals I have for this thread in terms of poker. Hopefully run up a roll playing the micros. Life goals are different however. I currently have a small weight loss bet on with my mate. Who ever losses the biggest % of weight by December the 10th wins £100. At the start of the bet (10th of September) I weighted 13 and half stone. From what I can tell my ideal weight should be around 10 stone so if I can get anywhere close to that I will be happy. Its been easier than I though. I used to drink a ridiculous amount of fizzy juice and eat far too much junk food. So far I have stuck to water and managed to replace junk food with healthier options such as fruit and low fat biscuits. My last weight in I had managed to lose half a stone.

This is being made easier since we have a chef at work. Haven't had a microwave meal since starting.

Ham, stuffing and chicken


Garlic chicken and chips


Tomorrow is a huge day also in Scotland for football fans, as its the biggest football derby in the world. Hopefully its a good day for me.



My balance for both Stars and Party poker is $50 in each. Lets hope I run good in poker, sports betting and prop bets

So stuck a few bets on for tomorrow. Will update if they come in.

Balances
Stars - $50
Party - $100 Topped this up to $100

Starting now. Still to top up my party account to $100

Nice thread! Good luck man!

Changed the bankrolls again. $100 on Stars and $98.46 on Party.
Day 1 Graphs




Managed to sat into the Big $2.20, Bounty $2.20, Bubble rush $2.20 and also got a $5.50 ticket. Couldn't turn these into deep runs though.

Had some real life stuff get in the way.
Re-started with $37.50 on stars playing 9 man $0.50 games



Bankroll at $62.09

Going to add in $0.50 45 man games now

Added in some $0.50 45 man games which took my average tables open from 8 to 12. Missed to many spots. So I have changed how many 9 man games I have open at a time so I'm back at about 8 tables at a time open.

Not long in from work so made some dinner and the plan is to now play for the next 3-4 hours.


Also came across this on my discover Spotify playlist

Bankroll is upto $92.69

Currently playing $0.50 9, 45 and 90 mans.

Going to add in $0.50 180 mans when I hit $100.

Finished up $11.29 for my session today.

So the bankroll is upto $103.98

Can add in $0.50 180's into the mix now. Games going forward are $0.50 9/45/90/180. When I hit $112 I will play $1.50 9,45's and $0.50 90's and 180's

Going to play some overwatch now I think. Trying to get good at Widowmaker.

It's nice to see the graph moving in the right direction. Good luck in the 180s!

Thanks Arty!

I was just shy of the amount needed to play $1.50 9 mans so threw some in on my last session and ran well. Bankroll is now $132.19


Going to be playing :
$1.50 9
$1.00 90's
$0.50 45,180's.
Can also flick in some $0.55c mtt's

Overall graph


Bankroll is now up to $151.92

When I hit $200 I will add in the $1 90 man KO's and $1 180's and $1.50 45 mans

The above post should read $1.50 90 man Ko's

I've not long woke up and don't start work till 20:30 tonight so going to play some more games till then.

This is what my bankroll plan looks like. I'm sure the $3.50Rs are wrong. Not sure what roll I will need for them as a starting point.

Upto $181.66 now

Hey due, gl with the sng´s.
I would say that you gotta stay very aware about the rake structures in these games. The 18 man´s have much higher rake in comparasion to the 45 man´s for example ($0,18 vs $0,14), and the roi in 45 man´s is gonna be higher despite the variance imo. if I was playing those, I wouldn´t play any 18 man´s untill the $7 level, cause of rake. The best ones for you to play are the $1 45 man, $1 180 man, $1,50 45 man (turbo) and $1 90 man (turbo) imo, and some $1,10 timbeys. My next step would be the $2,50 and $3,50 45 man. Anyways, gl dude

Thanks for the advice!


Just noticed this is the wrong graph.

I'm up to $219.24. I won't be playing again till friday. Going to spend a few days with the girlfriend.

Been a while since I posted. Had a lot going on. When I last updated this I had hit $219 and wasn't far away from moving up to the $3.50 9 mans. Unfortunately my mum took not well before Christmas and ended up in hospital, from a combination of her not eating much and getting floored with a chest infection. Rather than taking a break from poker I continued to play during this and saw the roll drop to $150. I think I was playing just to take my mind of things.

Thankfully she recovered and is doing much better. She went from not eating anything to eating more than she has ever done. Putting the weight back on that she had lost.

I took all of January off to re-think things and started playing this a few days ago. Bankroll is now back up to $195



I also purchased the Raise Your Edge sit and go course. Learned a lot of good stuff from what I have seen so far so if I can correctly understand and apply it to my game my results should thank me.

Finished 21st in the $1.10 bb. KQ into JT, villain flops two pair and I miss the draw.

Graph is going back in the right direction though. Bankroll is at $239.77



One more good session and I will move up to $3.50 9 mans. So my game selection will look like :

9 man $3.50
18 man $1.50
45 man $1.50
90 man $1.00
90 man $1.50 KO
180 man $0.50
Mtts $1.10

Bankroll hit $265.14 this morning. Won my last game of the session while tilted to ****. My internet decided to play up on my pc while the other pc ran fine. Ended up playing on my mobile. Came back to 5bb left with 7 remaining in a 45 man.

I can now move up to $3.50 9 man games.

So the games list now looks like this:

9 man $3.50
18 man $1.50
45 man $1.50
90 man $1.00
90 man $1.50 KO
180 man $0.50
Mtts $1.10

I lost $70 in $1.50 9 man games. My itm % for these was much lower than it needed to be. I had been stacking my games during this time and figured that because of this I was missing a lot of stuff. I've since changed to having them tilled again and my itm % has increased and i'm now making money in them again.

The next goal for the bankroll is $315. Once I hit that I will add $3.50 18 mans to the mix.
