Yeah just seen, I sure can edit either of those posts I just made though :-/
Yeah I can't edit the above, guess it needs further tweaking.

There is no better feeling than rocking up in a city for the first time, with nowhere to stay and everything new - so liberating.

Week 1 (Jan 1st - 5th)
Hours Played:
33
SNGs:
+$1550
MTTs:
-$1650
Satellites:
+$9600
VPPs:
3250 (+1000 bonus through promotion)
Approx rakeback:
$200
Milestone rewards:
$50
Top 3 Results:
1. $10,400 Aussie Millions seat
2. $1022 - 1st $27 Turbo KO
3. $700 Satellite Seat
A look at January Goals
180 hours playing poker - Falling slightly short
Study 15 minutes+ before each session - Fail, but did this 3/4 sessions
Look at daily results only on a 2 day delay - Fail, aim is now to not look mid-session at any point
Go for 14 runs - Went for 3 so on track
450 minutes exercise (on top of running) - About 30 mins, a bit behind
Record a song - Have started to put up some sound proofing in office but that's about it
Obviously can't be too unhappy with the first (near) week with the satellite bink, but unfortunately I didn't make any real money.

Day Nine - Thurs 9th Jan
Put in a tiny online session as I woke up early enough to do so in which I ~broke even, then jetted to Nottingham for GPS. Dusted off 1st bullet without doing too much wrong but wasn't on my A-game all day.
I made a really bad double barrel vs some joker SB vs BTN where I had 3b pre. One of the problems with the bet was that it gave me a really good price on a call when he jammed turn. Afterwards, I felt like my call was really spewy, but I've made myself feel better fiddling around with stove as even including some of the strong hands I didn't expect him to play this way, I still had enough equity to call.

Genuinely wasn't sure what to raise to on the river here vs an unknown. He insta snapped so I guess I went too small

Ice Cold - Brrrrr -

Not playing today (Friday) as I am going to see a couple of old Uni mates. Hopefully I can make Day Two last longer than a few minutes even though I'm going back with sub-20bbs.

If I check this thread? You betcha!
Mr Malik's was more of an 'excellent' Indian compared to the thousands of average/good Indian restaurants you usually go to.

You made any plans for Aus yet? Is it all business or are you going to turn it into a holiday?
Cracking country and the crown casino poker room is amazing.

Day Ten - Friday 10th Jan
A day off going to see a couple of mates from Uni. That was really nice. It's funny how with certain people you can not see them for years but when you do it's just like old times. One of them is now a teacher in South Korea so obviously isn't in the country often, and I just find it difficult with poker + the family to get time to jet to Coventry to see my other mate. Hopefully won't leave it too long this time though
Day Eleven - Sat 11th Jan
After being not so happy with my play on Day One, I was super happy with how I played throughout Day Two. I managed to turn my bowl of rice into a top 10 stack heading into Day Three. Obviously it wasn't all skill, I had some fortune along the way, I won a couple of nice pots with KK and won a flip not far from the bubble with 88 v AK. It was nice chatting to Ceri Rees who was on my left throughout the day, as well as JP Kelly on my right. Me & JP sort of started out with poker at the same time (we were discussing whether we were deemed old school players yet?!) and was good to catch up with him a bit, although he was nursing a hangover so I tried not to bug him with incessant chatter too much!
