another busy day - was over $500 at one point but took a beating in heads up SNGs so lost most of it.
did 7 10 player SNGS 3 $10+1 x12 (profit $47) 4 $20+2 SNGS 223x (profit $60)
heads up SNGS did 5 $10+1 and 5 $20+2 won 3 of the $10 ones but only one of the $20 ones. (loss $65)
Wasn't my fault - bad beats!
Also did a $10+1 30 player SNG - was chip leader at final table but lost a big pot with AK with an ace on board -so out on bubble. did a 2000 player $5 multi - went out just after bubble in about 180 for a $4 profit! sucks after 4 hours play - have to get to the final table on these things.
So - not doing anymore heads up SNGs - was doing them for player points really
Another 21 10 player SNGs to do - no more heads up for now - its good practise and lots of hands but not profitable really for me - with the rake have to win 7 or 8 out of 10 to make it worth it.
did 10 mile race this morning which went well - did 85 minutes so quite pleased with time.
Closing roll $442.

busy day
did another 12 10player SNGs today and 10 heads up SNGs - mixed results - should have finished better
10player results
(started great) $10+1 4 tournies x211 - then moved up to $20+2 - terrible 4tournies all bust back down to $10+1 4 tournies xxx2 - so the loss was (30+50+50+30-176) $16 - no disaster I suppose but dissappointing after great start. Bubbled quite a few times especially at the $20+2 ones and got my money in pretty good or at least a coin flip once short stacked so it could have been different - a bit unlucky.
Won 6 out of 10 heads up SNGs (2 out of 3 $20+2 4 out of 7 $10+1) - (40+40+80-77-66) $17 profit
Also did a $5 multi (500 players) came about 30th for $30.
Closing roll $415.

50 SNGs and 50 heads up
doing a little experiment to do 50 each of these before next Friday. I need to rack up player points to release another $100 bonus.
So far done 10 of each - $10+1 10p SNGS x2x2xxxx12 (was looking pretty bad until last 2 tournies) - $30 profit
$10+1 heads up SNGs won 5 lost 5 - $10 loss (rake is a killer on these)

Still here!
Sorry for lack of updates.
Since last blog I didn't really stick with system. Had about $66 as of last blog. Got fed up of the $1 SNGs and a bit drunk so did a $50 one. Lost that - practically bust - deposited another $100 and lost that pretty quick. Then deposited $50 (this was all last weekend) - got that up to about $70 - then last Saturday (Saturday before Easter) a friend invited me to his OH8 $1-3 NL cash game. So during the day that Saturday thought I better practise and did well with the $70, getting up to $250. The cash game itself was ok - I lost $140 but it was a lot worse at one point. Very difficult to play tight when each hand takes 5 minutes so I ended up playing too many hands. Anyway cleared the $100 deposit bonus online and currently about $330.
So - completely cheated on bankroll rules but got an online roll going now so hoepfully no more busts.
diet has been going well - under 190lbs now - got a 10 mile race tomorrow so that should help.

45 down 55 to go
Had to take 2 days off poker as cable was down. What a bore - no tv no internet. Was in bed at 1030 last night which is the earliest in years.
did another 8 of the $1 SNGs tonight. Poor start - was rusty from 2 days off and lost the first 3. did another 5 and got 221xx. ok i suppose - should have won at least 1 more of the heads ups. Also did some freeroll that got me 2 bucks!
overall from 45 games of $1+0.3 10p SNGs - 10 1sts 10 2nds - profit $41.50.
Closing roll $64.

First 20 $1 SNGs
done 20 of the 100 I said i'd do already. Good start 4 1sts and 5 2nds.
Back up to $38.
If I do 100 I should get over $100 and clear the ($100) deposit bonus with not much risk - kind of boring but enjoying them in a way. So realistic target for end of month is get over $100 and clear the deposit bonus which will give me $200 to start April.
($20k target still en route:))

still alive:)
sorry for lack of posts.
been playing a lot and never getting round to it.
Thanks for last comment Krosta - good to see you doing well:)
So..latest news - blown most of the $100 on Hollywood - down to about $20. Started off sticking to rules then entered a $20 tourney and a $10 tourney I couldn't afford - then tried to win it back with a$25 buy in in a cash game - lost that also.
So - i've got to go back to the $1 SNGs - am going to try and do 100 of them in the next two weeks to find out if profitable.
Also trying to work off the $100 deposit bonus.
So far ok 2nd in first two busted 3rd one.

New start on Hollywood Poker....
well I couldn't stand the $1 SNGS anymore - even winning one just didn't mean much so I treated myself to a $99 deposit. (going to play real good now - positively the last deposit I ever make!)
Same bankroll rules as before but can enter $5 tournies no matter what bankroll.
Going to do 10 NL SNGS (single table) 10 NL SNGS (30 player) 10 limit SNGs (10player) and rest of time in cash games (max of 2 buy ins to OH8 cash game per day - concentrate on NLHE) each week. will track results to see what best game is. Hollywood Poker has a 200% sign up bonus but I only have 30 days to release enough points.
So far
$5 10 player SNGS (NLHE) x3x (-6.5)
$5 30 player SNGS (NLHE) x2 (+30)
$5 10 player SNGS (limit) xx (-11)
cash games OH8 (-4) NLHE (even)
Closing roll $108

Sit n gos
Did 6 10p $1+.3 SNGs tonite got 1xxxx2 for $2.8 profit. Its alright I suppose - could've been better. Going to do 20 of them to find out if profitable and try and get good at them. OnGame network has a very good $1+.3 SNG with 10 minute levels - althought they charge for it with the 0.3 rake.
Very tired - off to bed with no Omaha hi-lo - I can't afford it now anyway.
Starting half marathon training tomorrow so going for a 3 mile run - will see how that goes
Closing roll $35.62

Finally back in business!
I've spent the last 3 days trying to deposit into online poker...I have 2 credit cards and 1 debit and they all appear to block poker sites. Also I have an Apple Mac so can only really play on Ongame Network.
Eventually managed to do $15 thru Neteller today - it wouldn't let me do more til I have sent in ID. I aint trying to launder money i just want to play poker! I think it must be all these stupid US laws.
So starting again today with $15.
Going to start by doing 10 $1+0.3 SNGs - only pay 1,2 aim is to place in 5
Still aiming for $20k by 1 June - just need to make 8% per day!!
