Trying to make this as short as possible for reasons in last post.
This time last years quote
"Next year i will treat poker as a job more than ever. YIP
Would be an easy cop out but to beat 2010 is 1st target YIP. Ideally above £50,000 is 2nd and main target NOPE.
Expect a vegas trip in June and a return to St Maaten early December YIP. 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. NOPE "
Final figure for 2011 came in at +£33,952
Best months were definitely when i was chasing rake/race or promotion which enduced me to put in more hours. Can tire me out but if im on 8-10hours a day at some point usually the games are good (even if they are bad for a long period too!)
Had a terrible vegas and its possible i might not go back this year, with all the sports stuff on in the summer. I would b surprised if i didnt go for 7-14days though. As above again:

Havent been able to experiment fully on games yet cos of personal stuff but got a very good idea of what my plan of attack is for 2012.

Dec Final Figs
Just when i thought i was getting over that cold the damn thing moved into my sinuses and ive had as smacking a headache as ive had for years thats lasted 3 days on and off :( Basically havent been able to play since Wednesday which has been mega frustrating and ultra boring . I really hope im over the worse of it now but it seems to come back late in the night every night so guess ill find out later :((
Anyways enough moaning, at least its making me crave playing in a big way when i am better. Final figures clocked in at a healthy £1,867 for December. I havent cleared any bonuses this month and obv ran opposite to November so im happy with that figure. Also raked out $5,000 on primary site, unsure about others but nothing big. Theres plenty of promotions about in January so im hoping to clear my head and really basically just play as much as i can.

Tiresome Profitable Play
Frustrating few days away from the tables but ive had such a good time in Oct/Nov and Dec up to 25th that i just see this cold i picked up as bad variance i was due.
I really wanted to use this last week of the year for experimenting on the poker and trying different stuff but ive only been able to play a few hours (if that) before just wanting to fall asleep or my headache comes back 10fold. That said ive been in profit nearly every session, nothing big just steady steady and im now sitting on +£1,498.
Havent drank since the 23rd and havent wanted to either but im quite a bit better today so will probably hit the pub tommorrow evening for a session. Games are good right now but ive stopped for a long break and doubt ill go back on tonight.

Happy Xmas
Had a complete week off exactly from poker before playing last night. Think its the first xmas eve ive stayed sober since i was in my teens and it paid off for a few hundred quid anyway although i didnt play as much as i could have done. What i did play seemed very weak so i guess theres a lot of recreational players about so i might try a session or 2 this evening as well. Was planning an all dayer booze up Mon but have woken with a bit of sore throat and cough so have to see how that develops :(
Happy Xmas to all readers !

Come Undone
Same stuff as yesterday barring the recovery at end. Dropped another $2,100 getting coolered and outdrawn again and running $1,000 below ev again. Think im done with this promotion and the game for a few days at least.
Since 6th December ive raked over $4,300 for approx £450 loss b4 rakeback and promos. Almost exactly $2,000 below ev. Looking back at November i was pretty much the reverse ev so its not a moan i just wanted to summarize it on here to clear my head before moving on.
Theres still a chance ill play later if i dont decide to go out, but assume not unless updated below. This promotions done my head in the last few days and tested me to the full mentally at a time when it was already a mighty slog. Anyways its been worth it i guess. Sitting on +£534 now for December, time to chill out then make better table selection as i wont be just going for max rake.
