Lol here we go again!

It seems like everyone that has a diary is getting the lot. Therefore Im thinking I should bump this up, talk to myself some and moan it in!

So what have I been up to lately...

I joined the Goulden Empire not so long ago. As most of you know, Alex is one of my best friends, and I also LOVE MTTs more than anything else in poker. The opportunity Alex is giving me is amazing really. Access to very good coaching, a stable whos brains I can pick regularly and obviously staking.

Unfortunately its not been going too well up to now. I am in MU but its not alot so thats fine. Feel like Im playing really really well atm, there are a few leaks in my game I need to plug and a few things I need to learn but thats all good. Nobody is ever perfect!

I started on .FR today. Id heard the rumours but jesus christ... The players on there literally give you money hand over fist! There are a few good regs but I havent met many of them!

Day 1 has gone pretty well. Made 1 final already, came 4th in a Hyper Turbo for like 50e. Am currently 9/99 in the 6max club (15e), 3/134 in the big 2e and 56/787 in the big 5e with the big 10e just starting. The prizepools are pretty shit, but any half decent player has such a big edge on here it kinda doesnt matter. Im freerolling the day so hopefully something works out from here.

Will write more about non poker stuff when the sessions done, along with results

[tight4better]

Win ALL the bowls.

Much <3

14/16 in the 6 max club. Have average in the big 5e with 342 left and double average in the 10e, but 1k left in that.

Busted the big 2e in 15th, AQ<JJ for 14 bigs each. Pretty sigh

[jgcblack]

Nice, get the diary going!

We've gotta hold our end up for the diary club!


Glad about the staking, just one questions - what do you want this diary to achieve?

Get some wins tonight and then get out with the lads... no diary is complete without a bunch of degen/ drunken nights!

I dont know really. Its nice to look back and see how you got to where you are today. When Im loaded and playing 100/200 in vegas, itll be nice to be able to look back at when I was a broke grinder!

Busted the 6 max club in 14th. Reshipped ATo after a really aggro guy (bit spewy) ships 15 bigs, ran into QQ behind

That's what i feel, and I'll definitely attribute 95% of my improvement this year to my diary alone and the connections it has created.

It's worth knowing what you want out of it, in order to know where you're going.  Otherwise how can you measure how far along you are?

Set some goals mate and put them on here, either for a month/ 6/ a year... and have something to work towards.


There's some great mtt players on here, and picking their brains/ sweating/ playing vs even... will all help you soo much.
