Yesterday was my worst day on DoNs so far on the challenge - down 12bi. After 13 games I had managed to lose 11bi which was not fun - played 33 games overall and bubbled 17. This kind of set me on tilt but I'll live with it.

Starting to post more and more hands for evaluation, which should improve my ROI.

This week I won't be working a lot, so I'm aiming to play a load of games, especially in the weekend. Grinding on Lock atm is very frustrating as they seem to have srs problems with their servers, so when this is down I will be grinding on Ongame. Guess it was a good idea after all to split bankrolls.

Had my mind set on playing the miniFTOPS ME today, got back from work pretty tired and managed to get my 2 step 3 tickets to two step 4 tickets. Unfortunately donked out from both - so down $150 tonight lol. I am surprising myself by how easy I took that loss (obviously it's an MTT so I'll be out of the money most of the time), but I basically have less than that money in my bank haha.

The don grind will continue from tommorow atm it's not going bad. Im playing on Lock, so decided to only put in $100 as I dont mind losing that. Started off playing the $3s, to build a roll for the $6s.

Just now my profit on Lock is : ~ $130. So, Im now playing the $6s - have around 270 games to play.

Funny observation from today: Ft withdrawal to Skrill took about a minute(or less.)
Lock Skrill withdrawal will take around a month or so.....

But we'll get to that later on I guess

Completed my Lock poker deal, overall I feel like I wasted a lot of time on FTP around xmas, and had to rush these last few days. Today especially was pretty tough - played around 10hours, mostly C+ game and also running bad didnt help. Lost around $50 today which was not fun but it's not too bad.

Overall profit: $155

Now withdrawal time, wondering how long it will take for the money to get to my account. Im not expecting it in any less than 30 days.
