[Closed] A Day At The Aquarium

Blog on hold as i withdrew my money last night after the fireworks went off.

Great start

Ok after Pokerstars spoiled my fun iv decided to continue with the blog. I don't fancy depositing with PS or FT till things have cooled down so me and a friend decided to take advantage of Party Pokers deposit bonus and attack the NL10. We both deposited 60£ which worked out at 98$ as our starting bankroll. My friend is playing the FR SS games while I'm playing the 6max.

Started last night and I will post the results later on.

Targets we have set is to play enough hands to clear the bonus, which looks to be around 35k-40k hands over the next month.

Back soon with day 1s results!

Anyone know why these numbers aren't exactly right? Not a big deal just curious.

how many tables are you playing per session?

It can vary mate as some of the time im watching Videos or playing Fulltilt, 2-6 usually.

Imo dont play and watch videos at same time because most people cant take notes from the videos and the players tendecies in same time.I wish you the best of luck

hey there, looking forward to following your blog in the future. Might I suggest after the first week you maybe consider posting a graph every 3 days rather than every 1 day? would save you some time, and its also a bit nicer to read stories about sessions rather than view lots of lines

oh i didnt consider this either.i would do the same thing ♠_grin:

I know where your coming from but i can easily handle a video and 2 tables mate, when i step to 6 i chuck the videos and put on my poker face

I'll be posting daily graphs for now to track my progress, i understand it may seem like a bore for readers but it is for my own good as this is the only place i will be recording my results. After the first month things will change and will be adding myself some targets for the future.

Day 4 Results = HEATER!

So far so good, few errors again today that i must review in more detail later on. Poker Gods were certainly with me today ♠_biggrin:

Need to step up the volume if i am going to unlock the full bonus, the weekend is near so should be able to get in some decent hours.

Bad day at the office today, played badly and also lost 2 huge hands, flush over flush and KK v AA, knew he had it but couldn't fold, i like paying people off

Will post graph in the morning, need some shut eye!

Day 5 results...

Much worse than it looks as my final hand was a 20odd$ pot i lost, i snap-closed the table and PokerTracker hasnt recorded the result, school boy error!!

All Time Graph...

Also not showing my actual results which is annoying, not sure if there is any way to edit this. Is going to be a pain as my graphs will never add up with my bankroll from now on

Set myself a mini target to average a profit of 10$ a day, which will equal $300 for the first 30 days + the $100bonus should see us with a Bankroll of $500. Well thats the target, must improve on yesterdays disaster if this is going to happen!!

Starting Bankroll: $97.79

Day 5 Results: -$20.84

New Bankroll: $161.53

Good progress, Burgeo. Will keep an eye (even though you are from north of the Watford Gap )

it will be very interesting to post some hands

Hahaha, cheers Tim!

Heres a few of the key hands from the weekend, will post the graphs in the morning.
