As regular readers of this blog will hopefully recall, at the beginning of October i withdrew the majority of my bankroll leaving myself just $50 (and starting a new HM database) and the attitude "no more of my money is ever going into poker". I set myself a disciplined 10 buy-in rule and have gone from there.
My progress so far: (since the beginning of October)
+$115.38 table winnings
+ $10 bonus
+$50 FPP bonus'
-$3.30 torny buy-in (Much Hoole old boys torny)
I have won at the tables for the last seven days which has really rocketed me through the NL$10 boundary ($100-$250). Especially tonight's awesome run good which saw me profit 4.5 buy-ins ($45) and also Sundays bit luck:
On Sunday i was down about a buy-in all day and getting annoyed with yo-yo-ing around the -$10 mark when i managed to take down a 3 way monster pot. (thanks to ROSH for watching,commenting)
Here are my stats from this month, 4 winning days/6-losers/7 winners. I think this alone shows how poker can be down to mindset/tilt etc.
Under my rules i can move upto NL$25 when my bankroll hits $250 however i am going to be conservative and hold back slightly. If you noticed on my cashier screen i am about 75% of the way through earning a $50 milestone bonus which in turn will give me enough FPP's to cash in another $25 bonus. So i intend to stick with NL$10 until i earn those bonus' and hopefully run at least equal which will give me more of a cushion when i move up.
Full support to all those in the civil service (UK) on strike today.

Good work mate, keep it up..!!
