ok after crashing out of the 50k with AK vs AA (stupid overcommitment by me preflop but just wasnt in the mood to play really) i switched off early last night.

Final profit for April was £3106 which im happy with after 2 very flat months previous.
Also not included above is a 1% ownership in Laddies racehorse supposed to be worth about $2000 (cash will be included in my profits later in the year when they sell laddies). Last of all ive won a VIP trip to Newmarket this weekend to watch the 2000guineas, as i missed out on the Cheltenham Gold Cup this year that should be good for a laugh.

Target for May would be to make same £3000 to keep a bit of consistency going. I must put more effort into my games, sometimes i just play automatically and dont respect the cash ive invested in a game however big or small. Definitely need to up the number of wsop sub qualifiers i play also as ill be gutted if i dont make it there this year. Got a 10 way play off on May 7 for a seat so fingers crossed for that one.

The only thing i am worried about is my enjoyment of the game, despite a good month i still found myself not really getting into some games on some days last month and this ultimately is the most important thing to me. April was the first month i played a lot of cash games and allowed myself 1-2£k bankroll which i was quite prepared to lose just to experiment in whether i want to play more cash than stts and tournaments. I ended up winning about £1000 on cash in the end which is ok and at first i was enjoying the change but lately the enjoyment of cash games was just not there. In March i played stts and kept a record which in the end was similar profit to the cash games in April but again the enjoyment factor was just not good enough despite good results. Im still not sure what ill play in the way of stts or cash this month, just see where my mood takes me on the day. I look forward to seeing if my rakeback this week is more than usual after all the cash games last month (that rakeback will go into Mays kitty) , hopefully it will be a nice surprise but we will see. Also must avoid hitting the casino and blowing cash which i have done twice this year already which have knocked my profits by a significant figure which i wont mention.
