Got lucky early on, but once I accumulated chips I was pretty confident I'd grab one of the seats.

Virgin Festival
Only a small win, but nice to get it so soon after starting with the MTTs again. Decided to put in a concerted effort to win a seat at this festival after seeing the PL lads chasing the seats. Leg 1 won, final leg at the weekend.

July
A bit of a rambling post as it must have been well over a month now since I seriously dabbled with the poker. Whilst I haven't missed it, as between the holiday and house move my mind and time has been elsewhere, I am really looking forward to getting immersed in the game again. This is unlikely to happen for a couple of months yet, as my poker play usually goes quiet during the summer, but come Sep/Oct I'll be back pursuing my 2007 goals, and maybe some others.
The only problem is that 7 months into the year and it looks like I am unlikely to deliver on all of my goals. Primarily this is because I just don't have as much time as I would like to spend on the game so it was inevitable that these would slip. In all honesty I am lucky to be where I am on each of the goals given how little I have played.
I still want to hit my goal of building the laddies $10 to $2k and think this is still on track for later this year. If I remember rightly I have got about $500 to go on that goal. On the SNG front then I still need to start on the $30 buy-ins so getting up to the $50 buy-ins is more of a realistic goal for the end of the year.
The other problem I am going to face is taking money out of my bankroll. I've blew the budget on the house move and won't dip into my equities for the other stuff we still need to buy. I'm probably going to need to take some money out and I'm unlikely to deposit a big sum; I'm too tight and would probably go back to building up the bankroll from a low level again.
What I'm tempted to do is leave $500 in laddies and then 4/6 table the $50 buy-ins which I was hammering before I stepped up to the $100s. Any profits from the cash games would then be ploughed into MTTs and satellites to bigger buy-in events to try and make a relatively big score. Regular grinding profits from the cash games aren't going to make much of a difference for me but a big score in an MTT could be put to good use and should certainly improve my MTT play. Still not sure what to do but I do like the idea of trying the higher buy-in events.
The only poker I have been dabbling with since I got back on broadband about a week ago is $5 HU SNGs. Now these are something I have never really bothered with before but I have really got into them. I think this is largely a facet of them being quick, I single table so I am more focussed, and [most importantly] I have been running good. Played about 20 so far and currently gone 8 wins in a row. Nice bit of variance but even so a great result. Will go through 100 of these before deciding on whether to step up levels. Definitely another aspect of my game to focus on.
I did play an MTT last night and didn't fair too well. Only managed to get to 15th from 36 runners when my AT all-in PF lucked out on the river against TT.
Glad to be [almost] back.
