March 2006 was my worst month in terms of profit, only making about £200 for the month.
I know i wasnt playing well and i lost count of the number of late stages i made it in multis before crashing out between 8th and 20th and missing any substancial money.
Overall i knew my luck was even for the month but i just wasnt getting it in the right places for the big money pay offs.

April has started well. April 1st i won a 1% share in Laddies , a racehorse that ladbrokes have bought and as a promotion are giving away shares in. The horse runs on the flat from July to September this year then it gets sold and any cash made is split between shareholders. Its supposed to be worth about £1000 on paper, but its something different and i look forward to following it.

I took a small knock on the 9th April when i finished 2nd in a win only sixpac for a WSOP seat but i only took the positives away and the heads up never got going as 3rd hand it was 88 vs JJ so all chips went in.

I also won a VIP trip to the Newmarket 200 Guineas and to see my horse in training which should be fun at start of May.

Then finally i got what had been a long time coming, a decent cash win in a multi. 3rd/88 runners in a $530 buy in (sub qualfied for $60) for $5500 on ladbrokes. Normally i would be very disappointed not to get 1st or 2nd but the cash was still good and i was the weakest stack when we went 3 handed so wasnt the worst way to finish 3rd.

Anyway i look forward to posting updates as they happen in future as this blog will give me an output for any good or bad happenings.

The only other thing i want to put in this blog are my monthly earnings since i kept records from Nov 2004, i wasnt sure whether to include them but if i put them in then im being truthful to myself and when i have a bad month in future ill kick myself up the ass more to better it. These figures are in approximate in pounds.
