There is no better feeling than rocking up in a city for the first time, with nowhere to stay and everything new - so liberating.

I hope you do this James - if nothing else, it will definitely help motivate you, having to out yourself after a bad day is a tremendous incentive, and keeping a long-term log of progress helps immensely.

I've been doing a similar thing (though on a much smaller scale than you) Next Door since September, & I update it there daily, without fail, win or lose. It gets a LOT of views. Think I've recorded my progress there daily now over around 1,500 DYM games in a 3 month period, & it has helped me more than I could have ever imagined. In fact, I'd have done it here, but I'd have been mocked somewhat for my small-ball nittiness, & the hardcore boys would have had a ball with me. You'll be just fine though. Good luck James, look forward to following your progress.

Incidentally, if it helps (it does help me) I report daily & then monthly on.....

Daily Volume

Games Won v Games Lost, which I call "Game-Count".

Daily Profit/Loss, colour coded in Blue/Red.

Average profit/loss per game (daily)

I also repeat all those "month to date".


I include my Reward Points (rakeback) daily, too.

Thanks Tikay! Yeah I'm hoping I'll get similar benefits out of it, mainly just want it to prevent me from slacking too hard. I'll set-up some kind of template for sure, haven't quite worked that out yet.

What sort of music do you write?

What are your fitness goals?

Good luck mate

I write hip-hop music (or at least I used to!) Not so good with the beats, just the lyrics and vocals.

Planning to run my local 10k at the beginning of April so need to be ready for that. No real goals other than to maintain a good level of fitness and perhaps gain a little definition muscle wise.

Best of luck James, doubt I've managed more than 120 hours in a month ever!

Yeah I've definitely aimed for the high side here. I churned out the odd 120-150 hour month last year, but seems ok to shoot high when I'm at my most motivated.

Definitely look forward to this.

Cheesy, I was worried you might thought I was a bit of a prat after my bust out in fairly standard spot in that Big Game!

Good luck.

Yes, the news is the PokerStars are absolute jokers at sticking to deadlines they set themselves. I must have checked that thread twice a day for the last 3 months hoping to see something!


Thanks to everyone for the good luck wishes etc!

Day One - Jan 1st

Didn't play, but did go for my first run of the year. Unfortunately my iphone running app and my music didn't want to work together so it was insanely tilting.


Day Two - Jan 2nd

Just logged my first session, clocking in at about 8.5 hours. Managed a little bink on my first day in a $27 Turbo KO.

I think I'll stick to posting weekly results/stats otherwise I'll be faffing too much. I'm not about my "not looking at results for 2 days" is going to work with the blog; and today I inadvertently clicked on the cashier to take a peek at Stellar rewards, so sigh at failing that one already. Perhaps just not looking at results at any point mid-session is more realistic.

Was good to put in a solid grind for my first day. Was definitely a little rusty, and wasn't a fan of having more than 14 tables. I tried out 888.com and Party today but I just cannot multitable with 888, I time out so frequently. I'm still deciding whether giving Party another spin is worth it or not.

Will try and post up a hand every day. Could go with a few comic ones I played, but this was the most important one of the day and was a pretty nice hold.

Ran like God in 18-mans on top of $27 bink so had a decent day, despite nothing beyond a min-cash in all my $30+ MTTs.

Is there a figure you need to live on whilst you play poker as a living? Do you ever feel pressure to earn X amount?

You earned a decent wedge last year do you set financial goals?

thanks in advance.
