My Personal 2013 Challenge with updates

[chelseaboy]

Thanks Mike, today I am going to try and 8 table and use cascade... I have been thinking about it for a few days and the more people I talk to tell me that in order to increase my volume and play more tables I need to get used to either cascade or stack. I could tile if I had a bigger monitor but then the HUD is so tiny it does get confusing at times.

In my first post I stated that I had no intention of turning this into a diary, but its clear that this is exactly what it is... I will post later on a bit about myself, poker history etc.

I tend to tile and stack (not sure if this is ideal or not) But i use this when im playing different types of games. Say you can stack your 18 mans together and your 27 mans together etc.

Do you not find that when stacking the tables that they can change just when your about to click and then get caught out folding or raising on the wrong table? Might just be me! :S

So the end of week 1 report...

The good news is that its ended in a profit, the bad is that it isnt much of a profit, but I cant dwell on that because it very easily could of been a 100+ losing week if I didnt come second in the 180man. Anyway today I decided to persevere with cascading the tables and found that 8 tables was very do able and after a set or two felt comfortable. With this being said I have played quite a few games today.

Games Played: 225

Profit: $13.76

I tried to copy a picture of the graph but I wasnt sure how so ive attached it for those who want to see.

Managed to spin what I had left back up to 10bbs so still here!

[rfgqqabc]

Keep it up man, coaching seems to be going well for you. Multitabling is all practice, you'll get there if you keep trying and pushing.

[chelseaboy]

Thanks, somehow managed to nurse the small stack, still have 10bbs on another break.

179/204

need to find 2-3 double ups!!

Gone in 184th

Jammed early pos with AJ and ran into 10 10

ahh well... seems a waste of 5+ hours but profit is profit I suppose!!

I had a positive day yesterday, I didnt get much volume in because I had lots of work to do and I had the Big 5.50 running for 5 hours+ but the small amount I did play had some good results.

Games Played: 242
Profit: $51.05

I think daily updates could get a bit long winded, for now I will carry on but I think soon I will just post a weekly report. Unless people like the daily updates.

I didnt really know much about the Battle of the Planets on stars but I am determined to make the Mars leaderboard at some point this year
