some of my decisions were horrid yesterday hence the joke and april fools reference. i'd go behind claw it back then drop some more within minutes, twas a combo of things not beleiving bad calls bad beats all in an equal share.
i dont have the chat open much because im in mini view, but recently ive been opening it up after a big hand as theres always some comment floaing about. i have 1 player who refuses to play against me, fair enough, but likes to tell the full table why. this is everytime not just once or twice. i find it funny. i had another who was bad mouthing me the other night calling me an A**hole, i asked why that was the case and they replies because i was raising lol, they dont like bullies i had to lol and they soon shut up. too many of them like to find fault in others when they should spend the time re examing their own stuff but i doubt these people will change.
good luck
i wouldn't mind playing him again!
won £4.35
total -£4.67 this month
nl4 4 tables
Glad to be of help by donating £3.76 with my JJ v KK. Called your shove without realising it was you - think I might have folded if I'd been paying attention. WP.
£3.56 up tonight for a total of £16.71. 2 decent tables the rest were a struggle all night.
We all do it from time to time. I spent most of last month trying to keep calm after what felt like one beat after another.
I'm halfway through "The Mental Game of Poker" but can't say it's helped much! My missus thinks I'm mad when I sit here talking to the computer screen!
today was fairly simular with profits totaling £33.47 with my best table being £6.89 and the losses totaled £18.83 with my worst one of £4 so my total today was £14.64 today.
Total for month Cash -£6 MTT -£3
always kk or aa i'm afraid there,but i'm sure you know that anyway...
next time.

late update on last night. played early evening and done £10, not much to say about it tbh mostly my own fault. i watched the football and was planning on coming back to the tables but i didnt, other stuff got my attention on the tv. so end result was i was about £11 up on the day.
total so far: +£20.94
lost £27.00 in a day
Lost pocket aces 3 times to trips.
Lost full house over full house twice (both time they rivered the better full house.
i them went on tilt and lost all in with pair again 2 pairs & all in for flush draw & ace and never hit.
hoping i can run good soon
I dont keep any form of diary, i just look at my b/r at the end of each day.
i have played against most of the players on here, CRAIG.CU DEVONFISH 5 TINTIN, ETC
As i can only play one table at a time ( bad eyes, and slow brain ) my chat box is always open.
There are many players who just abuse the table, these are probably little boys hiding in their bedroom.
At the 2p/4p level, we are all recreational players, sometimes playing good other times not so good, or even downright stupidly. A case in point was i sat in on a 10p/10p table, i was on the B/B UTG raised 5x
there were 2 callers so i called as well, i had 7 8 of spades, my thinking was that UTG had AA/KK/AK
and the 2 other callers had a mixture of the same, so i had 2 live cards, the upshot was i won the hand,
and i got no end of abuse from everyone, ( how could i call in the first place ? )
my response, as it is with everyone i give a bad beat to is DO YOU NEED A HUG ?
I have no idea why but this seems to enflame them ( who would have thought it )
So no need to get upset when someone gives you abuse, just have your own NICE reply to them.
See you at the tables, i hope im on my game and can relieve you of some of your gains and increase my B/R
total so far: +£42.49
i did win £10 in the golden ticket promo but spent it on a football coupon so no need to keep track of it in here
Won £3.64 on Cash & £2.94 on tournaments
Total Profit for day £6.58
Had a look at my losing hands - happy that I've played most of them correctly - just variance.
Could list some but frankly it's boring & seems to be happening more & more frequently.
im hoping to get more to the hours im used to iun the nxt few days.
total so far: +£64.17

4.5 hrs later..
lost £25.97
down £30.64 this month.
worst session i've had for sges.
lost with KK v QQ
AK on a AK6 flop (opponent had 66 obviously)
you name it,i lost.
no worries,i know it happens.
i'll get over it.
only losing money won,so no biggie.
probably going to evaluate things over next day or so and see what comes up.
do i continue on this cash journey,or go back to playing dym's,...again?
(down £10.18 from playing all cash games this year).
i'm sure you guys have had similar sessions and know how it feels.
like i'm banging my head against a brick wall atm.
(well i know spinky does anyway.)
ul mate,might see you later lol

Its amazing what happens, and can happen in poker. From abad session comes a good session. No doubt the next time you sit down you will smash it.
Trust me mate you need to stick to playing cash, it might feel like your banging your head against the wall sometimes when it takes an age for your BR to grow but nobody is going to be a good winning cash player overnight and its only by putting time and effort into it that you will reap the rewards later.
I know it gets hard to take sometimes when the beats seem relentless and i know you will have heard this time and time again but alsong as you keep doing the right things at the right times v the right players YOU WILL WIN IN THE LONG RUN.
And in this game that is all that matters.
The other night i sat at 3 tables 100nl 50nl and 40nl and within about 45 mins i was down around £350 almost all of it due to me being unlucky on the river to 1 or 2 outers etc, if i had chose to give up at that point i would be ending on a losing note but i didnt and around 4 hours later i left the tables winning £260.
Badbeats and variance are a massive part of the game and losing runs can last days or even weeks sometimes but the facts remain the same that no matter how long the losing runs last if you keep playing the game right you will beat it.
Best of luck mate
Daz.

nice post as always mate,and very much appreciated.
had a complete day off y'day and feel better for it.
yes,it's all about the long run,hence my reason for switching to cash,but it's just so frustrating atm.
(i'll give an ex;played 1 hand perfect,had opponent on flush draw playing to get his stack.
i bet, bet again,leaving a £2.50 bet,all-in for him on turn,he called as i thought,and hits flush on river..18%
to win..crazy.)(about an £8/£9 swing on 1 street)
i'm also finding it difficult not just losing 4/5/6 buy-ins,etc (i'm well rolled for that) but the way that i'm losing them,which is the most frustrating thing.
also finding that these all-in hands are what really determines my sessions,and the difference between winning and losing them is everything,as the other night...mare lol proved.
yes,we need to win small pots too,to keep us 'ticking over.'
i'll keep on trying though Daz...not time to 'pull up' just yet.
anyway,
moan out the way...move on.
'grand national day' i usually manage to do ok, and either win a few bob or break even.
last year,i had 4th& the horse that came 2nd by a nose... each way glad to say,but that nose cost me quite a bit.
(my mum said 'oh well done'...don't you just luv 'em!!!) lol
good luck all
'be lucky'
