Break...

This isn't working while we're having the extension done. I've only managed to play 625 hands this month. Therefore this challenge is on hold until I can actually live at home again and start playing some poker.

2nd Month Complete

My plan was to play a lot more this month but that hasn't happened. We are having an extension done and so I've had to move out to my girlfriends house and pokering doesn't go down too well over there! So overall I've played a pathetic 2.5k hands but have managed to win $278 so still on track. This month will probably be similar - the extension is going to take ages - but I'll try and sneak in the odd session.

Current Winnings = £423
Next Target = $450 by end Nov

1st Month complete

So, September is over, and with it the first month of the new challenge...

It all started well, I was winning a bit and it looked like this month's target of $100 would be easily surpassed. However, then things started going a bit wrong, and I had to start studying for an exam and so I have not played at all in the last 2 weeks. In the end I won a pretty unimpressive $145. Yes it hits the target but in early September I was about $300 up. Anyway, onwards and upwards!

Current Winnings = £145
Next Target = $250 by end Oct

New Challenge

So, it's been almost exactly a year since my last post, and poker-wise it has been a very poor year. I have been very unfocused, didn't play very much and probably broke pretty even. I'm very happy not to play very much, but if I am going to play at all then I may as well try and win some money, so I've come up with a new challenge.

For unspecified reasons I am probably going to have bills to pay of about $5k over the next month or two, and so the aim is to win back that amount over the next year. So, I have about $1k online and plan to turn that into $6k by next year. Here are monthly targets:

Sep 1100
Oct 1250
Nov 1450
Dec 1700
Jan 2000
Feb 2350
Mar 2750
Apr 3250
May 3800
Jun 4400
Jul 5100
Aug 6000

I will probably play mainly cash but we'll see how it goes. Fingers crossed...
