After the fishes have paid for dinner, treat the Family to dinner.
Treat yr self to a higher buy in tournay than normal from time to time, and use it to learn the difference between yr current level and the next level
If you want to do something wild, maybe some coaching/handreviewing. My to cents.

I would buy something nice and the rest I would keep as BR and take shots or move up in the limits.

Some good suggestions, thanks all!

Have decided to withdraw some to cover extra Christmas presents and a dinner out for the family and will set aside a roll of $700 to continue!

So now, what to play and where... The end game goal was to get back to the $2.50 180-man Turbo MTSNGs and I feel I will be comfortable playing those with a $700 bankroll, thus giving me 280 buyins.

As I have money on both Stars and partypoker - I will likely grind some $5.50 SNGs there too (127 buyins) although unlikely to grind those heavily and just continue with the 180s for most of my sessions!

That said - I will stream some of both tonight starting at 8pm (in just less than an hour)

OK guys, I've spoken with a few different players regarding the hand and the general consensus is that we must call here with JJ, not just because of the KO's at stake but mostly because if we call and win we have a massive stack, the table covered and a significant chance of taking down a 5-figure pay day.

We are calling the EP raiser all day and even the caller behind who could easily be calling with 88+ AJo + AJs which we are doing very well against. Obviously when he wakes up with Kings are chances are limited but it's important not to be just focusing on the outcome.

I'm happy with the decision and that I made it for the right reasons. Sometimes we just HAVE to play outside of our comfort zone!

EDIT: Here's the hand in question

Good that it was the right move, that takes the sting out of going out in that hand

Yes, I see that -- bear in mind that I know little about hold'em tournaments, and less about hold'em bounty tournaments.

Some Formula 1 owner once said, "To finish first, you must first finish".
I know for sure that I err on the side of prudence.

Tough to argue with your overall results.

Congrats on the nice score!

Yeah JJ is imo mandatory call especially in KO tournament. UTG range might also be somewhat capped when he shoves.

OK, think I've settled on a plan going forward for the challenge and just go with the 9mans on Party during the evening grind and just supplement 180s in the morning sessions.

Bankroll is at $666.22!

Been grinding less and less the last week but put in a stream and grind tonight which felt good.

Lost a few buyins in the SNGs but then finished 2nd in the party freeroll which awards me a free $109 ticket!

Add to that I also won a $150 ticket on Twitter for another tournament on GG Poker its been a very profitable week without much work!

Call by the stream on Sunday circa 2pm UK time for some high stakes action!

Happy Holidays to you all.

Very exciting times in our home this morning with Santa visiting leaving lots of presents to the children.

We also have guests staying until the 27th which is pretty cool also :)

Sorry that I haven't been active the last month but with working in retail the whole month of December is usually a write-off for me. Since last Monday I worked 58 hours in 5 days so I'm pretty drained and have had no time for anything other than work, eat and sleep.
