Thanks for the pep talk.

Money I've withdrawn is money I've made. It counts towards my target. If I go broke because I'm withdrawing, tough titties for me. But at least I have some extra cash this Christmas thanks to poker, so it's all been worth it whatever happens from here.

Without cash outs, I'm at around £650 with ten days of the month left... well, probably five or six days of poker but that can't be helped. I've already earned my minimum amount required to do this, so I see no reason to be negative about my long term prospects. I can play a lot better than am I doing, so why should I be concerned? I expect improvement.
