so tilted its unreal.. nothing went right in first few games tonight, running so cold... down to 2 last games $20 buck 180 and 16.50 360  - managed to final table bubble the 180 with flopped straight flush draw v 2 pair for decent chip lead, and then after grinding short stack nearly whole tourny final table bubbled the 360 AK < 77 again for chip lead

Admitedly ran good in couple of spots along the way in these,  but gutted I've not made any decent money ... think I just about broke even on the night

balance:- 2296.06




try not to worry/get frustrated Tom - a downswing is inevitable at some point  - you still have a pretty sick ROI so far. just keep playing your game and it will all coming flying back

Played few games last night, near misses again unfortunately.. final table bubbled the 16.50 360 again and 13th or something in a 22 180... bit dissapointed in myself in the 360, as was in great position should of been more patient looking back, but was trying to apply pressure and accumualte... small profit on night

Balance - 2414.96

Prob wont be able to play till next week now as its my bday on Monday and seem to have lots going on

Played last night and had 1 deep run losing flip for top 4 just outside the bubble, lots of near misses at the moment unfortunatley.

I'll update the OP when I get a min but balance is ~2300

I've just had some bad news with my grandad passing away so I'll be heading up north for the funeral and to spend some time with my mum -  I dont know if I'll be able to play too much more before xmas which is when I was going to end the initial staking period.

I may be able to get another session or 2 in but not sure at the mo - Might be better to call the initial period over for sake of clarity, but I will go with what the stakers want to do. 

I'm dissapointed I wont be able to return more proft to the stakers - as it stands everyone has made 26% on their investment (based on $400 share of proft)  I was hoping for more than this tbh after a decent start but maybe that was unrealistic with my low volume -  A flip here or there makes all the difference but that is how it goes obv.

From my point of view I have really benefited from playing on the stake - and would like to thank al stakers again for 'investing'.  I go to vegas in January and get back approx 14th or somerhing - If people are happy then I would love to carry on with the arrangement up until end of March when the Mrs is due at which point I'll be giving poker a break. If people prefer to call it a day now then no worries. As I see it there are 3 options:

1. Leave balance as it is and continue as of Mid Jan
2. Divvy up profit, and start again with 1500 bankroll in mid Jan
3. Divvy the lot up and call it a day

If you can let me know what you would prefer, then I can sort out any transfers asap

Cheers

Tom

Just take some time off mate and I am more than happy to do whatever your preferred route would be when you feel ready to play again, now is not the time to worry about poker, much more important things in life right now.

sorry for your loss.

Really sorry to hear for your loss and as Dave says more important things in life than poker.

I would go for option 3 and then put up a new request when you know the full timings of when your available etc - im certain you will sell out very quickly.

Good luck with everything.

Cheers guys.

OK maybe thats the best thing to do - I'll divvy up the lot and reship and then think about another proposal when I know I can play again.

If people can just confirm their screen names to send to I will take care of it over the w/e
