I played exactly 100 games tonight, so I need 66 to reach supernova. Ran like God tonight and played pretty well as well to average $30 a game and bring home $3k. Looking forward to having a nice rest from poker as soon as I can get my 5stars by my empty space where somebody interesting would put a picture.

166 games to go...
If my maths are(is) correct, I need 166 games raking $5 each to reach supernova...that should be very possible and I hope to get as close as I can tomorrow. Also, I had a lovely $100 bonus come through from stars for cashing in two turbo takedowns in a row which I had no idea would happen, the site just goes up in my estimations all the time!!
Started off tonight winning 8 in row, then was back to evens, before ending up $1780 up from 101 games...think quite a few regs are away on holidays at the minute as lobbies are easier to come by and the games seem a little softer. Wondering how much money I've left behind at the tables all the times I've won a bit at the start at then gone to bed without playing a decent volume.
I'm nackered all the time atm but I hope supernova will be worth it.

Getting closer to supernova!!
The other day I needed 13k vpps and it was looking difficult/ nearly impossible to achieve...from now I need 7.3k vpps and it should definitely be made now!
Somehow, playing 4 tables at once hasn't broken me, and since the last post I have made around $1.9k, including having the worst spell of my life earlier where I lost 8 in a row despite getting it in good or flipping around 16 times overall in that particular spell! Losing 9 flips in a row and 14/15 + 2 overpairs v underpairs would have caused me to ridic tilt before but I hope I have a bit of new found maturity and confidence that things will turn around now so can control the tilt better. The night only finished with a small loss so that's not too bad!
Right I'm nackered and hoping to hit the sales in a few hours time...merry xmas everyone!

Late dash for supernova...!
As some of you may know, from late November and early December I started becoming aware that reaching supernova was a possibility, and at the start of December I needed 30k vpps to reach the target! I haven't been able to play every night and at one point thought I wasn't going to bother as it may cost me a fortune trying to get it, but now with around a week to go, I need just under 13k vpps, which is definitely possible! The only problem is the fact that I'm probs going to have to put in a 5hour shift on xmas day!!
I've managed to make 2k vpps tonight 3/4 tabling for a few hours and then ending the evening one tabling for a bit so repeat this 6.5 times and I will be there! I think I need to play around 520 games to reach the target which is seeming pretty difficult atm!
Touch wood I think I'm playing some of my best stuff now, and despite a monstrous >$2k downswing in one ridic 24hours running the worst I have probably ever run (apart from in that dream everyone has where the car is coming straight for you but you can't move), I have managed to bring home a few k a month, but I can't post much more as I've decided to carry on playing to get some more vpps!!
Run well, xxx

Stats Available!!
I've unblocked my SharkScope as I was curious as to how it was looking. I thought I might as well let people check it out...I'll probably be blocking it again in a couple of days so check it out whilst you can!

Meh iphones lol!
Ok, so I don't know how to use iphones properly yet! :-( here is the post intended to accompany the last post!
Apparently I don't know how to copy and paste into blogger from hotmail so I am writing it again..ffs!
Obv have to say wp to keys first of all who destroyed another live tournament, quite a nice name and story to drop into other conversations, and I loved showing off the receipt from the two bottles of Dom Perignon we enjoyed to anybody within 10 metres!! Congrats mate. (If you ever want some heads up lessons I can lend a hand ;-) )...quite funny really how balla the time in Estonia would have been if I wasn't "scared", but the butterfly effect might have meant Keys didn't cash so I don't suppose I was missed! Could be tempted if I'm invited to the PCA!
On a personal level I just completed my first month as a poker pro and it was a huge learning curve! Of course, as always, there is a direct correlation between winning and enjoyment, but touch wood I have been a lot better at handling swings recently and though the start of the month was tricky things have picked up since! I now rarely get joined by regs so have easier games as a result, and I think I'm earning the resepct of other heades up pros! I have had a few requests to pair up with people in 4mans, one of which I accepted in Padgenuts, a big heads up winner and person who has a similar feel for the game style rather than mainly mathematical which has been succesful. We have only had one session at the 4mans but started on fire, winning 6-0 but then both ran so so bad to lose the last two and called it a day! This has good promise I hope and I might hit supernova which is 41k fpps away! I hope to pair up with a reg in the daytimes as well to mix in 4mans with heads ups.
The first month was tough to start with but I managed to pull in £3k which I'm pleased about...that was helped by shipping $1075 in Sunday Million sats from the fpps I've earnt...I hope that can be a good rakeback from the FPP's I make on the way to supernova. I look forward to increasing my poker associate base and making friends with Americans always has value in terms of greater access to Vegas!
The one good thing about this long post is that all my posts are like this but I now blog less regularly you only have to disregard it once or twice a month!
Cheers lads,
