Played a bit of cash, 4 tables never really got going at any of them, I lost a buy in early doors Queens vrs Aces Pre lol never really picked up from there i played reasonable well, wasn't making any stupid decisions
Saturday 6th April HU Games, played 3 won 3 = £2.85. Cash = -£7.81 BHunter = -£2.20
that 88 i would just call the turn again because if you know they will fold a big bet when the flush comes you can still steal the pot plus they might have on Ahigh or a weaker pair.
Some guys from higher levels dropped in for a bit of "fun" shoving every hand pretty much haha I limped in with Kings, it was raised, i reraised, haha the guy went all in i call and he won with like 5 7 lol He had like 40 quid at a 2p 4p table lol
Played a few hus games against rancid as well, good times
It's been quite a turbulent time since starting this lol
The day I started this i was tilting and spewed a lot over the next while, in the time I have been doing this my b/roll has fluctuated between £90 and £120 a lot!
My current bankroll is £136.77
I've been doing a lot better since i said i was just going to play for fun and not worry about winning or losing.
I know what my "leaks" are, and silly enough a lot of the time i am making the same mistakes, must cut this out haha
I've learned that MTT's are not my strongest point, I've struggled in the longest while to get a score in any of these so in the last while I have lost a lot playing these.
HU SnG's, for some reason since i've started playing these theres quite a lot of wins, overall i win more from these compared to whats lost. I'm going to focus on playing quite afew of these. Benc told me after i played him I would be able to beat the £5 games, but im just gonna stick to £1 games at the moment lol I would be gutted losing 4 fiver games ina row lol
Cash, when i posted up about going to just start playing for "fun" i was getting a bit annoyed by just grinding p-4p cash, and often the lack of dynamic at a table. I've started playing some 8 nl, 10nl, 20nl and 30nl. I know i don't have the bank roll for it, but i'm quite happy doing this. One thing i started doing at 2p-4p to practice was sitting down with the minimum, £1.20, and seeing how much i could spin this up to, quite often i could get this up to £4. People say you should sit down with 100BB which i totally understand, you want to get maximum value when you get your win. A bit different, at higher level tables i will sit down with less than 100 BB, focus try and a play well and spin this up. And if i'm goin to lose an all in, i'm mitigating my losses.
lol nothing to apologise for Craig it was a very nice hand indeed, i would have done exactly the same with your stack. Nice hand.

Calais
£14.41
Played a BH tonight, out early doors, played quite a few HU games, and prob only won about 50% or just over this. Quite disapointed with this, cause yesterday i won like 80% of them!
Bankroll is Now, £168.59.
I have been playing a bit of 8 nl and 10nl, i'm wondering with this amount on bankroll if it's a good idea or not. If i'm playing one table chances are i'm not really going to lose unless it's a bad beat. I'll see how it goes over the next week.

no it's not,is the answer mate, you have a b/roll that doesn't give you any room for loss. if u lose 2 or 3 buy-ins at nl4 no worries,if u lose the same at nl10 what then? stick to nl 4 get to £200-£250,then think again.
