Well, well, well.... it's been a while since I posted in here. As you can see on the previous page my life got pretty busy after my little boy was born. I've still been playing a bit here and there until I last week when I took up 888 poker on there free £12 offer for downloading their app (or something along that amount of ££'s).

4 weeks later and we've run our BR up to £113 by playing both NL and PLO @ 1c/2c, /4/c and a few shots on 0.05/0.10.

I'm going to Vegas at the weekend thanks to a surprise birthday gift so need some info on where and what to play in with a v.limted bankroll of around $1000 for the 4 days I'm there. Will update with more info this evening but if anyone has any info that would be great.

I wish!

I've made some good progress with my businesses IRL though and now have some time to devote to the felt both online and at the local donkaments.

I'm roughly £3.5k up in £10-£100 BI tourneys at the local casino but "invested" my money in a trip to Disneyland Paris - it yielded a wife and child so seems like a wise investment tbf.

I've decided to resurrect this diary for two reasons.

1: I've always thought i was "good enough" to be a winning player long term and I'm keen to see over what stakes I can play at profitabley.

2: It's always good to have something to keep a record of thoughts, results, mistakes, feedback and moans.


Today I installed Hold 'em Manager 2 for the first time, at long last I'll be able to easily keep track of whats going on!

There are loads of "Goals & Targets" threads on the net so I'm going to start with a fairly simple one. 888 gave me $10 free as I hadn't deposited for a while. Goal number 1 is to run it up to $100 playing micro stakes of $2nl (& $4nl when my BR hits $80) - It's something I've done many times before so here we go....

Ok so I decided to mess around getting on Pokerstars getting used to my new HUD in HM2 - I didn't play particularly badly but was perhaps a little looser than normal. Is losing 5xBI over 1500 hands within "variance" allowance for 1 3 hour session?

What happened to this diary? Just found it at the bottom of the pile and thought I would give it a read. Good stuff but feels like a half written book! Be good if it is continued!
