Almost there fly Four more times like the last one and you are done. There is plenty of time for it, but it is the wrong time of the year for playing poker You will have hard time squeezing sessions in as the time goes.

Two weeks left. Wrap it up as they say and dont get stressed about it. No one will say you failed. You have managed to double your money already, which is a That of course if you are squeezing some game in to reach your target. If you are stress free, go for even more than 500

Well here s an update again...
I did not have much time to spent at the tables but had some nice sessions. One session in particular was very profitable for me as I won +/- 35 eur in +/- half an hour as my pocket pairs hit on the flop twice.

Well thx for all the support but ....
I think it s time to come with my feet back on the ground... lost almost 40 euro in less than 1 hour today at the 0.15/0.25 eur tables
Was not my day as I had AQs and hit a double pair on the flop, opponent raised , I reraised and he went all in and he had pocket Q preflop allin with KK beaten by A2 as he hit a str AA got beaten by 88 and he hit a set....
had to stop playing as I noticed I got a little irritated and played more aggressive as I used to ... so decided to stop playing for today

Well I play a couple of hours a week.
It depends on my situation, sometimes severall hours a week, sometmes zero in a week. As I am married and a father of 2 kids I have also othere things to spent my time on.
The purpose of this was just to see if I could play profitable on the long term and I set myself a goal of 500 eur by the end of the year. (I started with 200) In the Summer months I did almost not play for +/- 2 months. I think my strenght is dicipline and patience and some statistical knowledge.

Well it has been a long run already , even if we take out the 2 months you are talking about, so you have proved yourself. And if you didnt have the commitments you could do better. Distractions with family with kids come out of nowhere
hey thefly, the most important thing in online poker is to end profitable if you're a regular player and not really how big is the amount but I hope in 2017 you'll end with some serious amount of cash as we all BRM members aim in our online poker journeys...
dude is quite a good result but if you play at higher rates then the result would have been much more .... although there is in this, and negative - at higher rates mainly played by people who are well playing poker and therefore your task is complicated

It is a double up. So the result was good and you werent that far from your goal. If you had the free time you would have reached it probably and even more. And yes you can say that playing poker, can be profitable for you
