I reached over £2,000 today. So I have made over £2K in just under 2 weeks as a 'person who is playing poker for money for a bit'.
Yesterday I played the most hours since I started by a long stretch and it was a pretty frustrating day. I started up but then was down to about £1,700 at worst - a loss of £190, I kept winning some back, then losing it back again and repeating this process. However I made it all back and then some to put me nearly £100 up for yesterday. In contrast today I played for about 6 minutes and made about £65, lol.
I think yesterday was a good indication of the new discipline I have and the benefits of being comfortably rolled for the level you are playing at. Not once was I tempted to move up to regain losses more quickly; I simply accepted it as variance and played on, taking a break whenever I felt like my A game was slipping. It paid off. This is sensible poker. I feel like I am a decent player when I'm playing my A game but too often in the past I have succumbed to tilt and implemented E game which although works for my mate Ed, is not a winner for me.
Why didn't I play this sensibly starting a few years ago? I would be loaded by now... possibly.
I treated myself to a new PS3 game today - Pure, its a quad bike racer with crazy tricks and is good fun. Luckily for me with my 'job' I have plenty of free time to play it. I really hope I can continue this success, the sky is the limit! Good luck at the tables!

Good to hear it's going well mate but even better to hear the mention of E game.
P.S Watch this space for a st.andrew's reunion event, it's on my to do list!
Very good mate, you're firsttough frustrating day and you didn't tilt - things are looking good! Roughly how many hours are you playing a day? How many tables? What stakes? x
When I was playing just 1-2 hours a day I was having better results than the last few days where I have played over 5 hours! Playing $100NL 6 max and usually 3 tabling it's how I feel most comfortable and also I can't fit more than 4 on my screen anyway cos I don't like the tiny mini tables so I have to make do with the overlap :-(
update?
Good work Iron Monk. Nice one in getting the role up over 2k. So have you been job hunting or are you making the transition to a poker fish?
