I have just completed the first 7 days of my "latest project", and the results are..... okay. I'm happy, but not delighted...
Attached is my graph for the last 7 days, which for some reason doesn't include one particular tournament (mixed team $1) which I have placed 2nd and 1st in the last 2 days... for $19 and $30ish... so profit is around $50 down on actual...
As well as the mixed tourney, I've also placed 1st in another tourney and 2nd 3 other times. Those 2nd places are the reason I'm not delighted... Felt I deserved to win all 3, which would have added $100 or so to my profit.
In total there are 177 tournaments that pokerprolabs has tracked... I don't know how many it's missing.
Of those 177 I have:
Cashed in 36 (20.34%) Average ROI of 127.59% Average Buy In of $0.66 Average Profit of $0.84
Buy in is low mainly because I'm throwing a lot of the $0.01 step one tournaments in to boost my numbers... ITM is lower than it could be, as I'm registering in every freeroll possible, and just sitting out all but the decent ones.
Of the 177 tournaments, 93 have been in the last 3 days, and 84 in the first 4... so my volume is increasing nicely, and I feel comfortable multi-tabling up to 9 or so with no trouble.
I'm also sitting in 41st in a leaderboard thing, where the top 27 play for a $3,000 WSOP Package... so that could be a nice bonus.
I have earned around 1,200 points, and have reached level 48... almost able to add the $3,000 level 50 freeroll.
Ummmmmm... guess that's pretty much it.
Please feel free to ask any questions you like... and if anyone fancies watching me play, I'm happy to figure out something there too.

That is one nice giraffe 888poker is a very nice room to play on. Keep doing your magic on the table and be sure to keep us updated. I definitely like to see other mobbits success stories.
Over the missed win opportunities don't beat yourself up too much. No player can win every time. As long as you learn from your mistakes and avoid them in the future you should be good.
Good Luck on the tables Hope you get that WSOP package

Haha... the reason I'm annoyed about them is because I didn't make any mistakes
Seems like a stupid thing to say, but it's a very good and simple piece of advice:

I believe you are doing good so far. The main result you are looking is going upwards with low draw downs You will always have these, no matter how good you are playing. Luck, donks and other reasons, result to this. Keep it steady.

Mixed day so far... one 1st place of around $40 has guaranteed me profit for the day, but 2 decent sized bubble knock outs against the odds have cost me between $18 at least and up to $150 at most.

You are having very good results in your first week of your challenge and i am sure that with your skill and a bit of luck that you will do it for sure.
I still have an account on 888 but no BR and i wanted to deposit the other day but their exchange rate was a little bit over 35% so i did not i will wait the rate to go down a bit.
So i wont see you on the table but hope to read you here to follow your progress.

"Don't make mistakes"
I'm sure you do mistakes, even if they are small or if you don't see them and you get your money in good when it matters. Simply because we all do... ^^
By that I mean, a "mistake" could be as little as a bet size. Often when you have the best hand you want your opponent to call you with a worse hand so you don't be too hard on the flop, which is standard obviously. But then he does and hits his 2 pair on the turn, check raises you and now you're forced to fold or risk losing your whole stack.
