Need a bigger online profile.....

I haven't updated in six weeks, that's disgraceful and I do profusely apologise! I have little excuse except I've been playing a lot of multis so less free time and I've been playing lots of bingo and online slots in free time!

So what's happened?

March was my best profit month ever in the fifty 50s! I beat last April by $500 but it came right down to the wire, I lost a bit in the multis and only earned just over 100k vpps for the month which was a bit disappointing.

I've been doing more things with my life though which accounts for it. I've signed up with a personal trainer for 2 hour sessions a week and I had a four day break in March when Jen and I went to London to watch the swimming trials for the olympics and stayed with some friends down there which was a great time.

I've also decided I need to treat myself to something, this may sound arrogant but it's not meant to. Basically right now I'm making more money than I ever imagined I could and I feel I deserve some kind of treat and I'm not into cars so I've decided to buy two VIP memberships at Goodison for next season.
Gets me into every home match, 3 course meal, free bar, champagne on arrival, box seats and NO RESTRICTED VIEW! which every Everton fan will tell you is immense! Gonna be taking different friends with each week as well cos feel like I wanna treat my friends cos I'm nice like that.

Took my dad to the Arsenal game a couple of weeks ago and realised I definitely wanted to go ahead with it, and as a bonus I'm getting tickets to the Sunderland game on Monday and also FA Cup Semi final tickets!! woo.

What's been happening with poker this month? Played a lot of multis, I've actually won 6 or 7 so far in the past week but only one has been especially decent which was a $33 rebuy where I won for $3,200. I've started April up over $3,500 which is fantastic but I've actually started every month that well this year and January and February ended up just as small profit so can't get too excited just yet.

Regards VPPS, I'm well down on where I should be, currently heading for about 1.5-1.6m whilst my target was 2m. It's about $70k less in bonuses if I fall that far short so I have to decide if I can make that up by winning lots of multis, I had Sunday free this week so had a bash at the million. I won 5 seats for it! so got lots of Tournament Dollars. Finished about 500 places off cashing after AK lost to TT but I'd won three flips to get to that stage so can't complain really.

And the big news is that I've applied to become a team pokerstars online pro. It's unlikely I'll be accepted as I don't really post on the forums as I don't have time but I have this blog and my fb and twitter and the fact that I'm a serious grinder who also has some pretty decent multi skillz so you never know! Fingers crossed. Plus I'm prettier than most poker players so will look good for their publicity shots!

Yesterday was Jen's birthday, got her an iPad, she carries it round with her everywhere like a child with a blankie! quite sweet really!

Hope everyone is well, and please post lots of positive comments so pokerstars can see how utterly amazing I am :)
