Well here s an update
I played some sessions in the past weeks : won a little an climbed up towards 422 eur.
My last session was a little catastropic (played at 4 tables 0.15/0.25 eur) and lost about 45 eur in less than an half hour. double pair on the flop vs a set KK preflop vs AA hit a str on the turn , opponent hit his flush on the river pocket 8s make set on the rainbow flop, allin and opponent has AKs and makes a a flush
So I decided to quit playing for today , my bankroll is now 376 eur. Next time I ll play i will play back at the 0.05/0.10 eur tables till I get back to the 400

at the 0.15/0.25 eur tables I buy -in with minimum 12.5 eur
So if I loose an all-in there it cost me +/- 10 to 15 eur.
It is the same if I win my allin.
It s just a question of being unlucky as the statistics are against me.
double pair on the flop vs a set --> double pair on the flop is a reasonable good hand KK preflop vs AA --> the only starthand that is better than mine hit a str on the turn , opponent hit his flush on the river --> opponent was lucky pocket 8s make set on the rainbow flop, allin and opponent has AKs and makes a a flush --> opponent was very Lucky
So hope to do better next time
------------ Well played poker for about 1 hour today at the 0.05/0.10 eur tables.
Did win a little and ended with 385 eur.
Today I won with a preflop allin AA vs KK
It was a good session for me and I hope I can continu it next time
Cheers

You are a bit donw at the moment. You were almost there reaching your target. But you still have time to do this. Almost two months is plenty of time. Couple of lucky sessions and you are gonna hit the cash out button soon.
interesting to follow the upgrade of your poker profit ... of course always mistakes happen ... or just bad luck in the game and there is a loss ... but of course in this case, the main time to stop the game and relax a bit ... I do not always succeed

Good thing you are going upwards. But if you are playing once in every ten days, even with a profit of 10 each time, you wont make your goal. But it wont be a bad thing if you are close to it.. Still a good profit for the hours you have invested in.

Well played about 1 hour today at the same blinds tables.
had a good start but then lost a few hands. At the end I had 4 eur profit.
So my bankroll is now 359 eur.
Well I try to reach my target of 500 eur at the end of this year but I think it will be touch as I have not so much time to spend at the tables due to family issues.
Even if I am not gonne reach the 500 eur at the end of this year I am still happy with my results this far. Made a nice profit and avoided going tilt (only once) at the tables. Had the dicipline to stick to my bankrollrules and to leave the tables when it was not going my way.

There is no need to stress it to reach your target. You are not dependable on it. So play as much as you can to get a profit. Any profit you can get, is a good one. You are already up, no need to mess it while chasing the deadline of yours

Well received 3 SNG tickets of 2 eur and used them in heads up. I used to play SNG HU in the past and nowadays I only play it when I receive free tickets from Unibet. I prefer it over the 1-table (5 players), the only winning place is the first one ( big profit), second gets a bit more than the buy-in.
here is not much more than one month before the end of this year ... to achieve the desired result you probably need a little speed up your promotion? at 134 euros it's not a very big amount of money you can win it for a few minutes (of course it does take a risk and play the big bets) In any case, I wish you good luck in your order

That is another way making profit without the chance of losing anything. Hood result winning two out of three. A few more beans into the bag Even close to an extra christmas gift from poker tables

Well played again today and had a bad start...
lost 2 preflop allins
AA vs KK and a K on the flop
KK vs AK and an A on the flop
So was +/- 10 eur down, was thinking of leaving the tables but stayed and could gain my loss back
won a nice pot with my pocket 6, hit a 6 on the flop and won vs AK with an A on table. also won some nice pots with a str, flush lost preflop with AA vs 1010
But finally after +/- 1 hour of play enden at 360 eur , so made a profit of 9 eur
Good luck
