Mate, my blogs never keep going!
But I"ll do something about this one :D

Ok Dwayne, you asked for it!
Back at the start of the year I had some Resolutions...
--- Quote ---- Play more than 2 Nationals, and win one
--- End quote ---
ONGOING: Played the Main Events at both Nottingham for the S6 WCOAP, the APAT Masters and S7 Coventry. Blew up in Notts, made day 2 at Wembley and had the second-best hand in Coventry a hell of a lot. Missed opportunity at Wembley for sure, but never been anywhere near a position to make a FT, let alone win one.
--- Quote ---Win a medal at the WCOAP
--- End quote ---
EPIC FAIL: Made final two tables in both the Stud and the Razz without threatening a deep run. Ran horribly, played pretty average in some events, and had to share a house with the rest of the newly formed Team Gotham, watching them win bracelets and cash multiple times.
--- Quote ---Play 2 GPS Main Events
--- End quote ---
FAIL: I was hoping to play Southend next month, but my financial situation is such that this won"t happen. APAT is all I can muster at the moment.
--- Quote ---Get back to Vegas for the WSOP
--- End quote ---
FAIL: Same as above with the financial situation. Next year hopefully with some of Team Gotham.
--- Quote ---Actually make a FT in a large field Stars MTT, rank top 5% on Stars on OPR, and crack top 5,000 on the P5s ranking (basically volume dependent, sigh).
--- End quote ---
SUCCESS: Made 2/570 in a $5.50 Omania MTT on Stars. Tenuous claiming this as a large field, but I"ll take it!
SUCCESS: As of today I"m ranked in the top 4.53% of Stars players on OPR!
ONGOING: Still ranked in the 14000s on P5s. Not put a dent in that yet.
--- Quote ---Get a 4 figure cash online
--- End quote ---
ONGOING: The above Omania score was just under $800. Stars has been horrible for me and good scores. Had a couple of $500+ scores recently too, and given I"m beginning to enjoy playing online a bit more (part born out of necessity) I"d be disappointed if I didn"t bink 4 figures somewhere this year.
--- Quote ---Not take any money out of my online bankroll unless I win an absolute shedload.
--- End quote ---
FAIL: Yeah, aforementioned dodgy personal situation responsible for this. I"ve had a good 3 months which has been absolutely critical for me.
hi_am_chris:
The p5"s ranking def something I want to persue over the next 6 months, volume, motivation, job and seeing the missus get in the way :/ (hope the missus doesn"t read this :))
Also the four figure score eludes me, been close a lot but run really really bad when down to two tables :(
Side bet maybe on either of these if ur ever up for it? Added motivation to play is always good.
Never saw that comment before John ... Needless to say you we"re right :(
I still have a job really ;)

Intriguing proposition! What do you suggest?
I"m happy with it being some friendly rivalry, or perhaps a small prop - I"m not confident of having the time and/or inclination to put the required volume in! Especially as I"m now focusing on Omaha variants so there aren"t a great deal of tournaments that meet P5s criteria.
I cracked the top 14k yesterday though. 13,867th to be precise.
hi_am_chris:
Im outside the top 14000 at the mo, i really need to play more :\
I"ll have a think, i"m not confident either as i need to spend time in a gym in an evening and i work 9 5 all week but def up for some sort of prop :)
