(2) Day 4 - 6

Day 4 - Aiming to play a fair few, only managed a reasonable, but ultimately dissapointing, 31. This 4000 target is going to be a bit tough, I'm not giving up yet though.

Spent an hour or so giving someone tuition, railing their game and giving them pointers so that's my excuse for not playing more. I didn't mind doing it, teaching is a great way to hone your own game. I got just as much out of it as I hope the pupil did.

Day 4 Result :  +$367.5  (+$3191.3 total)
ROI - 42.9%

That's why I love STT, 50 buy-ins is an ample bankroll to take on the turbo tournaments, I've made over that in my first 4 days. Cheesy

124 down, the quest is 3.1% complete but 3.3% of my time has gone. Will have to make it up somewhere if I'm going to win through.

Day 5 - My confidence is sky high at the mo. Cool Haven't had a losing day yet. Although I'm happy about this, I'm concerned that I might be percieved as just using this thread to boast about my winnings. That isn't the intention at all. I would be happy to report of a losing day, just as soon as one comes along. Until then however......

Day 5 Results : +$309 (+$3500.3 total)
ROI - 42.6%

Only played 13 as I was working late and didn't start the online sesh till 6am. 200 looks unlikely before blonde bash, but I'll try to get as close to it as possible.
Played 137 in total, another 3,863 to go. Piece of piss, bring em on.

Meanwhile I'd like to wish all you fellow STT crusaders the best of luck Cheesy
(I don't really believe in luck, but I wish you well)

Day 6 - I find the age old poker cliche "it's a marathon, not a sprint" applicable to this 4 month mission I'm on. That's why I'm not bothered that I only played 21 STT today. If I spent the first few weeks playing 45 a night I might burn out. I'm starting off at a comfortable pace and can pick it up later on if I like.

Don't forget to stop and smell the roses every so often fellas.
 
Easy to lose sight of, I'm trying to bear this in mind. Thanks for the reminder Wardonkey. No doubt they'll be plenty rose smelling going on at Blondebash. Days 7 and 8 I'll be taking off for obvious reasons. Will be back on Day 9 to give you another update. Enjoy yourselves this weekend everybody!
