Long hard struggle today. Not much went right most of the day and after raking $447 i was over $700 down, and over $400 down on the allin evs. I guess i had to expect a day like this soon as ive run so well the last 10 days but at least i havent given up the ghost yet. Just hope i sleep better tonight then last night :(
Still on other site trying to recover but also trying to shut and get off to bed.
OK im done this is getting silly if i dnt stop now. Got a nice chunk back off table fish so was worth it though.
On day -£278 (Very happy, this could have benn £500-£1,000 easily)
On Month +£1,522

Day 1/26 (Well Maybe)
Im still playing as i write this. Def done over 10 hours now and trying to shut but a couple of ok 2/4hi lo games are keeping me on the hook. Managed to rake the $400 target on a site in about 9 hours. Would have been less but i mixed in a bit of another site when the games seemed good.
Profit was +£100 after a couple of hours. -£300 after 4 hours which it stayed around for the next few hours. I clawed it back though and even went up over £300 not too long ago but went back to level all of 20mins ago.
+£160 in running now but could swing big either way although one table is absolutely terrible.
ideal just hit lovely river for a $1000 pot :) = +£545 in running :)) i wnna go bed though
bed awaits was on last round on 1 table and took a little. other table broke but i took of couple of pots heads up before matey left. +£632 on the day and sit at +£1,800 for the month and year.
Points to note:
$422 rake on main site.
main games of .5/1 and 1/2 plo +$760 but more than double ev
loss on same site on hi lo games of $470

Day Off
In preparation for the long slog of 26 days ($400+ a day rake) im attempting from tommorrow i havent played today. I did play for a few hours yesterday though and again ran golden. Best pot was playing more than double stack on 1/2$ plo holding 7,8,9,J vs A,A,7,8 on a 6,9,10. turn = 8 = ship that $840 pot :)
Profit sits on £1,168 including some rakeback received today. If i do stick to my plan i wouldnt be surprised if i blog most days just to keep me sane.

1st 2011 Slip Up
Only played about 20 mins new years day for a £40 loss which i cancelled out yesterday with a standard hour session making about £80. Then came the drunken attack. If u have followed this blog of late you would know im trying to stick to no higher than 1/2$ plo and 2/4$ hi lo with mayb the odd 2/4plo really bad table in there occasionly. Well i broke that when i loaded up a 5/10 hi lo last night. Fortunately i ran my $400 up to $1,400. I then proceeded to lose back to $300 at which point i loaded up to $1000. Deep stacked players were playing bad enough to justify it although i guess there was a bit of tilt and arrogance in there too. Luckily i hit some hands though and escaped with about £700 profit :)
Still dont expect to play huge volume until 5th from which the plan is to rake >$400 a day for 25 days. We shall see if i stick to this as it involves 8-10 hours on my current tables but will maybe be a good test for me. Havent had any rakeback yet but know i didnt play much on the sites that pay out at start of month so not expecting a great boost there today or tommorrow.

2010 Review
Final profit of £30,310.
A few notes:
Target at start of year was to make at least £50,000 = fail.
Worst year ever in terms of profit as a professional.
One of, if not the most, the toughest challenges in poker is to move back down stake levels.
Personally a very good year, and im still very happy with the above profit (tax free).
Finished on a high with a good idea of where i stand in the game and what i will target next year.
Next year i will treat poker as a job more than ever.
Would be an easy cop out but to beat 2010 is 1st target. Ideally above £50,000 is 2nd and main target.
Expect a vegas trip in June and a return to St Maaten early December. Would be nice to win a package for something but i struggle more than ever to motivate myself to play satellites and im not sure how to fix that.
