Well recording my results definately hasnt gone as planned. The roll that was on Stars is no more. I got fed up with getting outdrawn or playing for 3+hours to take a 3 outer. So i took $100+ out and left it with $9 which is now up to $25 thanks to $1.20 SnG's. I think they are going to be where i keep playing on stars for a while as i can play 4 at a time and be extremely confident of turning a nice ROI.
I played £70 MTT at local casino last bank holiday and split 1st place for £1300. Played with 2 other mates and felt confident all weekend. Dont think i ever put all my stack in until FT. Got lucky twice vs same player:
Hand 1: AAs vs QQ vs 99 Flop Qxx all spades turn space river spade. So my ace of spades took that pot down and nearly trebled me up.
Hand 2: 3 handed 77 vs 22 Flop 27x - even though i went in ahead every time i ended up needing to get lucky. Was very good game and the same tournament is happening this weekend. Entry this time is £100 but the casino is adding £1000 so hopefully be reporting on a nice cash!
Im also currently trying to get more into cash as i will have a new job soon so think cash will suit best through the week. Its not going too bad.

Update
Since the last post i kinda gave up on my mission to get $100 tourny dollars playing the 2.2 sats. I went deep in the $3R but got KQ busted by KJ on a low flop dont understand why he called my all in on flop but Jack on turn killed me. I thought was going go far but went completely card dead final 3 tables but always next time.
Played 10 3.40 18man SNG's last night and cashed in 2 of them one was a win for a loss of about $10. I have about 4 hand histories where i put my money in ahead. Think i may play few more of these as with a little more luck think they could be little profitable.
Seem to be getting fed up of tournies at the min so deposited $50 onto FullTilt intending to play cash. That hasnt really happened as i have only played 100 hands and used 1/3 the money on SNG's or sats to bigger tournies with no luck so far. I really enjoy the FullTilt software and the amount of options to qualify for their larger tournies. The pot button they have is also a god send and seems to really help my play/aggression.
As we speak have just won 55 tournie dollars on stars in the $6 1st round qualifier. If i do manage to hit 100 then i will set out a list of tournaments and play in them with the intention to turn a small profit for the $$. Also still in the 35k $5R without having a rebuy or add on i have 5k after the break. I didnt feel like adding on as my table has been very tight hasnt been many rebuys so wont be at a huge disadvantage till the table breaks.

Tonights play.
After my post last night i went away and played my first 2.20 Sat and cashed for 11 tournament dollars.
Today has been a completely different story either i play like a donk or i get my money in with the best of it and get screwed over on the river.
So far my Balance stands at $225.04 I figured that if i post how much my roll is at then it may make me think more about each tournament im playing in.
Tonight i also found the funniest blog ive ever read. Take a look http://www.snowmanspokerblog.com/index.html but make sure you start from day 1 some of the early material had me in stitches.
Balance = 225.04
TD's = 0.00

New Bloggerment
Well here goes can’t say I have ever done one of these before but I have read my fair few and need an interesting way to track my results etc.
I’m currently playing online at Pokerstars as it’s the only site I have any sort of roll on. I mainly enjoy playing Mtt's but am considering trying to move up the small stakes cash slowly as when I get in the mood I enjoy cash.
I’ve had some good results since I deposited a small amount onto Pokerstars would of liked to of been a little higher in the results but will keep plugging away. Last night played the $3 rebuys 25k Guarantee and finished the break on 7k after not getting many hands during rebuys. Managed to steer clear of any races until down to last 40ish where I found myself pushing A5 in early position only to run into Aces. Flush draw and gutshot on turn but no help on river so down to 9K chips.
Didn’t look back from here until 15 left when pushing with 1010 vs AJ first card out a jack. I hadn’t been this far with blinds this high for a while and will admit I was scared at times to steal in position and thus my 1.3mill stack dwindled to down 550k when I eventually pushed.
I have had rolls on sites in the past and find myself playing too many tournaments for no reason what so ever. I hope by writing this blog I will post HH's and tourney results etc even if it is just copied from officalpokerankings.com
My first goal is going to be to gain 100 tournament $$ by playing the 2.20 sats for the Hundred Grand. I have had a little success in the few I have played in so I am aiming to only play in these until I have reached my target maybe throwing in the odd $3+ as I enjoy the fact you can go far even if you haven’t had much luck early on.
Comments very welcome as this is my first attempt at this so all will be taken onboard.
