I've gone back to my original plan of grinding the MTTs on 888 after a brief stint on the cash tables. A family bereavement made me realise I've gotta do what I enjoy... and I certainly prefer MTT to cash.
My motivation to play is high, unfortunately my motivation to come on here (or anywhere else) and talk about it just isn't there. I like knowing that people are following my progress... but meh.
So there likely won't be regular updates....
I have my volume at a good level - around 20-30 or more tournaments per day, which will get me up to around 4,000 by the end of the year - comfortably inside the top 30 on sharkscope, and profit wise things are slow but steady... I'm still not sure if freerolls are included in the count, so have to try and figure that out as soon as I can.
....I'm bored of BankrollMob. Wish I could make it interesting somehow.

Yout85. Thank you for this update. My condolences on your family bereavement. Just an observation, while doing the things you love is important, don't forget about the people who are important as well. I have a friend whose mother died recently, and his outstanding comment was, I didn't spend enough time with her as I was busy doing what I wanted to!

nice to see that some progress has in poker playing , and certainly if you proceeded to write a report you'll get great support here , you have a good plan to play poker though freeroll is for beginners like me , I see that you do not need to because you have a large sum of money at the end of the year

This is my graph for the year so far (attached)... just under half of the total tournaments played have been in the last 3 days, and I intend to keep up that volume, or even raise it as I'll be able to start adding more rebuys as my bankroll grows.
I have 5 2nd places in amongst these results, and just one 1st, so could have been so much better.
