Ya man as they say, or in this case Ya woman
That is a better choice by far It is one of the places i always wanted to visit. I like casinos, i like slots, but Las Vegas is not among these places.
Wise choice i believe and i think you will have more fun there.

Naaaaah, what kind of a wedding for a poker player would be if it takes place in Jamaica and not Las Vegas??? If u ask me,if Las Vegas is out of the option, i would pick a place that means a lot to me, get a priest there and have my wedding, no guest, nobody, just my girl me and the pope, and have a wedding party after, for all the relatives and friends. But it must be with a woman that is also a poker player, but in my case i have to get married out side of my country, coz there are not a lot women poker players here and we decide over a poker hand if we get hitched or not, saw that in Srg. Bilko the movie, and i like that very much

Ok. Now there is a dramatic change of venue! The curious cat in me is wondering why the change. Maybe you can share that with us IQA please? At least in future when your newly married partner gets asked about the wedding and getting married with a question like, "so, you got married! Jamaica?" They can reply, "no, she married me of her own free will!" LOL, groan.

Bump!
Current Bankroll is £335 withdrawn and £40 on sites. Was over £300 down in at start of march so quite the turnaround.
England messing up cost me about £85 and I am just slightly off atm, just missing big cashes and just missing out on bets by a goal or a corner here or there.
Hoping to deposit on GDFplay and try and grind up there.
And have a bet on Mcilroy in the masters (top 8 pay).
Damosk, the reason for the change of venue is I adore Jamaica and want to go back there. And although more expensive flights and hotel, it will be a lot cheaper as all inclusive,
Looking at a total of £8500 for the whole wedding, have £850 saved so far

Well it looks like it's Butlins in Skegness for you then No seriously well done so far IQA and i'm sure you will reach your goal with time to spare.
As long as I know (from your post) you just play MTT. Do you ever try cash game ? I think luck factor in cash game less than MTT . I wish you could collect prize as much as possible, schedule not change ? 2017? Good luck

Yes, I play cash too, but mainly zoom. I think I do ok at zoom, but as with everything else I tend to break even and then my profit comes from bonus etc.
I only play cash to clear challenges, such as the stars one that is ongoing atm and occasionally on 888.

You have taught me loads already just from that first session.
I have a free £52 bankroll on bet365 now too after I took advantage of their free bet offer yesterday.
And 888 BR is up to $36 (I am keeping proper records of my play on 888 so I know which profit is from betting, zoom and mtt's)
------------ It definitely is paying off Yout85
This evening I had a £10 win on sky, a dollar on 888, £1.32 in a nothing FR on party and the big one, finished top 4 in the sky freeroll that pays 4 seats to the vegas semi.
I think the biggest change is because I am a lot surer of when to push I am playing better around the bubble than before. Also not getting committed with average hands nearly as often.

That's great to hear ice! Nothing quite like instant results
Just remember not to fear the bubble... keep adjusting your push fold ranges, don't be afraid to raise then fold to a reraise... but also don't be afraid to reshove a reraise when you have the goods.

Yeah it is.
I think with raises, I have always raised, then when I get reraised I go all in (if it is good enough for a raise its good enough for a shove) and I have been clearly wrong in this

IQA.... It's good to see you are progressing in your bankroll and overall play. I find that one of the most important considerations is not to be committed with average hands. It is a psychological thing to 'let them go' but time after time we find ourselves clinging on, sometimes when we know we are beat. The option to fold though , while not something we should always do, is a really strong move.
and we decide over a
