Cash Game Poker/Holdem Manager

I've decided to try my hand at cash, since I've got the PokerSwat Training Site. Along with this, I decided to invest in a tool called Holdem Manager. I've used pokertracker2 before, and trialled pokertracker3 but Holdem manager just blows pokertracker out of the water.

Not only do you get an integrated hud, but you get a serious of reports and built in filters along with some articles all designed to show you how to improve your game.
You can get HoldemManager for free, but if you are losing cash player, I would suggest you buy the product. It will save you money in the long run. There is also a two week trial.

I have also made a couple of videos of my 6 max cash games played on stars. I've posted these on pokerswat and ems. I got some good feedback on the first video, and have posted the 2nd video for which I am awaiting feedback. I have had some feedback on pokerswat on the 2nd video. SInce I got the Pokerswat training courtesy of boylepoker, I have to give them monthly feedback, which I have done. They particular liek one of my suggestions, so hopefully this will come off.

I've also started posting in the ring game section on ems, and I do have a few leaks (they're more more like running tapes), which need plugged. I have been given some good advice, and its just a case of paying attention to the advise I've been given, and I can turn into a profitable cash game player. There have been a few people who have been helping me. Its really amazing what this little ems community does for each other.

I currently have set myself two separate goals on two different ipoker sites:
First 1 is on BoylePoker and all I want to do is to break even and still earn enough player points to retain my vip points. I also want to do this by playing mainly cash games.
The other is to turn $30 into $300 in 10 weeks on bluesquare (not including the first deposit bonus).

I also managed to qualify for the virgin poker festival in newcastle and I luckboxed the final hand.
We were down to three players, with a short stack who had at most 2 big blinds left. He shoved , the sb called and I called in the big blind. The flop came down A rag 2 and I have 72.
The turn is a 10 and the small blind raises. I hate this, as I just like to have a co-operative check down, so I shove all-in with my bottom pair and to my surprise am snap called with the SB holding JT. Oops, I've just lost my heads-up chip lead I think, but the river is a 7 giving me two pair, which means I win the tournament without needing to go heads-up.

I also have a bap going on stakeashark, and I really must get around to finishing it. Either this, or abandon it and ship the stakers money back. This is getting to be an increasingly attractive option, as I really have not been concentrating on it.
