Summer Spin Ups!

[Sack it off]

My official summer grind begins this weekend so I decided to create a thread which would pretty much blog my entire summer of poker.

I didn't want to create a proper blog or anything like that because I don't want to get into the realms of getting people to follow me and following others and generally trying to increase traffic.

It would be awesome if others could blog their own poker sessions this summer. Would be the perfect opportunity for you to write about any profit/volume challenges however you don't feel are worthy of an entire thread.
I must stress that personally this is not a bankroll challenge nor is it a volume challenge. I am doing this because I think it could be fun, and also I can use it to determine where I am most successful and where I lose. I hope to hell I don't publicly lose my net worth  

Commencing this weekend, I will be depositing on FTP, this will be around $900 - $1100. This is not my restricted bankroll, I may take money out of it and I may reload a couple of times, I am fully prepared to reload as that's pokerz.

I don't have a set aside live roll at the moment, however when I choose to play a tournament and I cash, I will just keep that as my live roll.
I will be updating in terms of profit rather than bankroll because my money is never in one place.

My dream is to some how bink enough money to afford this car:

I'm planning to buy a 1969 Mercedes 280SL regardless as an investment, however yet to find one I like. Off to Ipswich next weekend to view one.


The Ideal targets:
These targets are assuming I run incredible every single month however I like to aim high. I'm yet to work out how much profit I need to each but will decide as I go along.

This month (June) $10 - $30 MTTs on FTP. Also pllan to play some British Masters and GUKPT sides
Next month (July) Live in London for 3 - 4 weeks and grind the cash games at The Vic and Empire
August Have a few non poker related holidays and just general enjoying summer, aswell as a few exams. If all has gone swimmingly by this point I will play maybe bigger cash games online and bigger MTTs but not as much volume.
September: If everything has gone well I will fly over to Vegas for my 21st and to finish off the summer

So to begin:

Profit: $0

Hand of the Day:
N/A

Looks pretty good. Saved to Favourites.

Are you just restricting your first month of mtts to FTP?

Nice car. Good Luck

Narr not necessarily, If there is a good tournament on another site I will play it.

As I say there is also no BRM issues, If I see a $100 buy in I will play it, £500 Brit Masters I will play it, $1k monday has 3x overlay, I will play it

[mondatoo]

You where doing the cash staking thing with Jon Lundy yeah,what happened with that ?

Are you playing the Newcastle Gukpt sides ?

GLGL with this, get the lot.

[Sack it off]

Yeah I'll play a few GUKPT events.

It turned out I just didn't have the time for Jon Lundys stable, on top of uni and general social life I didn't have the time to commit to doing so many hands per month.
