PokerWolf1's 'Let poker pay for Christmas' thread!

[PokerWolf1]

Although I dip in and out of here everyday it's been a while since I have posted anything of worth so felt I owed the forum something back. After a really tough time recently in the personal life I now have lots of free time to play poker and am hoping to make it a great end to the year to make up for the last few months. If I can replicate the sort of success I had in my challenge at the start of the year I will be more than happy. The aim really is just to turn a profit. A decent profit. £1000 to be exact. I don't have the bankroll to play big stakes so like before I will be reducing variance by playing all games on Sky which are mainly bounty games. They will all be scheduled tournaments. Below is my current Sharkscope (which I hope I have embedded correctly!) £458 profit up by the final game - game 317. So to make it a nice round number I want that to read £1500 on 25th December. To make things a bit more interesting though I wanted to add some other milestones along the way - some easy, some hard and some probably unachievable. I hope to achieve these just because I feel like they will either make me a better player - or I should be doing it anyway.

Main Goal - £1500 (Currently £663)

1. Play 500 Games (Currently 174)

2. Win 15 tournaments (Currently 3)

3, Qualify for a live event (Not Achieved) 

4. Win 10 sats into an online event >£100 (Currently 0)

5. Have an ROI of >15% (Currently 18.8%)

6. Get my ability on Sharkscope to >80 (Currently 72)

7. Make top 10% of the field >12% (Currently 16.1%)

I will be editing this post to keep the challenge up to date and reply to the thread to update how I've done daily. Thanks for anyone that takes an interest in this and good luck me!

So first day at it was fairly uneventful. A few deep runs was countered by a horrendous allin misclick by me in the mini-roller as one of the Scottish equalizers against Germany started to ruin my football accumulator (It went down in the end anyway). Anyway, this is what happened in a nutshell. Buy in - Game type - Cash - finish (if relevant) 5.75 - ko - £10.85 - 9th 3.3 - timed - £6.43 - 7th 5.75 - ko - £0 5.75 - ko - £7.45 - 12th 3.3 - timed - £0 5.75 - ko - £1.88 5.5 - plo - £0 5.5 - ko - £0 5.5 - timed - £23.37 - 3rd 5.5 - hilo - £0 2.3 - ko - £0.75 10 paid in the one I finished 12th. Lost AK to 99, AQ to 44, K10 to Q8 and A8 to 55 pretty much in a row and went from 4th stack to out just like that. Need to learn to flip better.... Sharkscope is taking its sweet time to update (Does it wait until tournaments are over to add them?) Either way as of today the stats SHOULD be something like: Main Goal - £1500 up (Currently £456) 1. Play 500 games (Currently 11) 2. Win 15 tournaments (Currently 0) 3. Qualify for a live event (Not Achieved) 4. Win 10 sats into an online event >£100 (Currently 0) 5. Have an ROI >15% - Currently 18.9% 6. Get my ability on Sharkscope to >80 - Currently 73 7. Make the top 10% of the field >12% - Currently 16.6% Hopefully Sharkscope will reflect that when it has added the missing tournaments.
