Current bank roll £164.84
Bad day at the tables lol Started out playing Hu games was doing really well won first 4/5 in a row, then hut a bad spell.
Had a shot at a £2 hu game, lost the first one, won the second one.
Entered the 10:05 BH, Flopped 2 pair with A 10, guy had called with an obscure 2 cards, and hut his open ender on the flop, after calling 2 pot size bets flop and turn lol
And lost a bit playing cash.
I just played 4 tables cash, was a really good session. I had a read at Doh's guide for 2p-4p tables, while i do a lot of that stuff was an interesting read and has helped out. I really don't know if I am a "winning" cash player at this level. On another thead it was getting discussed about not moving up levels until you "beat" the one you are playing. I don't have any hard and fast records for 2p-4p i would say over all i probably have a slight edge/ profit from playing at this level. Was quite interesting in Doh's artcile about playing a pocket pair, when you are 3 bet, i'll post up a good example of pocket 10s facing a 3 bet below.
When i was playing today, the only big pot i lost was J hi flush over Queen High flush ill post that up 2.
After i posted last night, i went on to lose a few more quid to CraigCU and ina couple of HU games, I was tired and shouldn't have been playing.
Current Bankroll, £177.27
I've been really happy with how i've done this week. I was playing a bit yesterday when i wasn't in the right mood for it. It's weird i knew i wasn't in the best frame of mind for it, but i still done it. I played 1 table at cash ok, but the other table was actually playing bad.
Today, I had a really good time of it and would say i was playing well getting maximum value from my good hands, and folding in the right spots.
I'm really glad I started up this diary, and do feel i am improving at poker all the time. There is still heeps i need to learn, and in poker it's a matter of constantly learning/ developing, i'm just happy it's going in the right direction.
PLEASE CHANGE YOUR CURRENT BANKROLL AT THE TOP OF THE THREAD ty
His call is ok here imo mate, he already had 20p in so he is only calling 32p extra knowing if he hits he has a very good chance of getting the lot
Current bank roll, £181.12

Amazing whats the chances 3 lots of sets on 1 board!!
This is my exit hand from the Orfordable game, previous to this i was sitting with 13plus k, i raised, some1 jammed with AQ I had AK, and AQ won!
Just played cash today, and 1 Hu game.
When i started playing Cash, within an hour i was down 2.5 buy ins! I was playing ok on 2 tables, and the other 2 i did'nt play well at all making hero calls with a 56 (pair of sixes) and another similiar hand against players i thought were bluffing haha i was wrong.
Lost quite a big hand to with Pocket Qs, on a 9 3 2 rainbow flop. There was already a player all in for about 60p, other opponet put in a min bet (i shoved) they had pocket 9s!! The worst of it was was i had a note on this player saying "bets monsters really small", i should have just checked called and it would have saved me some money.
I managed to grind these losses back, and ended up in profit for today.
Current Bankroll £195.84 so close to break £200

I was thinking once i get to £220-£230, i might play a bit of 10nl, this would help me get to £300 a lot quicker.
If i lose a buy in at 10nl, then i wouldn't reload until I had built up again. If i was to lose £10 so bet it, but there is the potential there to spin up the money a lot quicker.
I would still be playing 4nl as well.
i personally wouldn't mix the two myself as the tables that matter would be the nl10 tables.

Hi Mate,
I played a bit of 10nl tonight, i ended up pretty much breaking even,
My Bank roll is £211.03
I'll maybe wait till i get to £300 before i really get stuck into 10nl, I'm happy the way it's going at 4nl at the moment. Like i can easily 4 table 4nl, and seem to be doing all right at the moment. I can't really afford to multi table 10nl at the moment, incase i had a bad run.
it will just be a case of slowly slowly catch a monkey. I don't know if it is possible, but after I get to £300 my next target is going to be £1000. That will be an epic journey! I'm sure i will achieve £300, but it will be a lot harder to get to £1000. The good thing is my game has improved heeps over the last 2 months, if i keep it up maybe i could achieve £1000, but like i said it would be a collossal task.
Before i posted up a thread talking about MTT's i was going to give them a go. During that time I done nothing, it's not because i was unlucky, just because i was playing them totally wrong.
I did ok in one a week past on saturday i came 7th out of 400 plus runners. But when i was doing the "MTT challenge" thread on here, i was finding that i was generally winning at other areas but losing money by the barrell playing MTT's. Tho doing that thread has helped improve my game at MTTs. Generally play tight earlier on, try and go for maximum value when you have a hand, and loosen up later on when the blinds are bigger.
The reason you turned £50 into 3 grand is cause you have skill and a brilliant game! I'm a long way off that.
I might try playing satelites for the bigger tournies to see if i can get that alusive bink!
I seen your name when i started playing on sky, prob on the tv channel, well your name is kinda memorable haha Did you cash in some money, take a break then come back on the site with your £50?
Wheels came off the cart a bit today lol
Played really bad earlier, went a bit spewy.
Then hand just there my set of 6s were beat by a turned set of 7s! But that my friends is poker:D
Mixing cash stakes is fine and a good idea, it's something Ryan said I should do ages ago, it's much better to play a 20NL table full of bad players than a 30NL full of the best playyers on the site (unlikely to happen) just because your BR says you can play 30NL... table selection FTW.
You'll probably have to play different stakes at higher levels if you wanna multi-table anyway, not many levels are like 4NL where there's always like 20 tables running. Also gets you in the habit of not thinking about X number of pounds and just thinking X number of big blinds which is all that matters in cash.
CF is the only line for your hand here imo.
