That said, good luck to every1 taking part in the cash promo!
Played 4 hu games, won 3 lost 1.
Cash; prob still playing 2 many hands. And calling raises out of position. I had tighetned right up, then seem to have loosened up again. I;m gonna start playing tighter again. Seemed to just creep in again
Played way to much haha
I was up at cash 2 buy ins, then i was down, and in the end over all from cash i was about over 1 buyin up over all. Started off playing really snug then seemed to loosen up (again). Then went back to to playing tightish.
Played a hand the rake on it was 7.5%, never knew it was that high!
Hu Games, played 3 won 2. Cash is actually now seeming a lot harder than at any other time i have played lol prob psychological
Overall, i do win at cash, but not a massive amount. ANd have had a bit of a downswing recently.
I seem to be better at the HU Games, would it be better just to focus on one instead of doing both?
The biggest way i lose money, is from playing MTT's.
The thing i win most at is hu games. Might start concentrating on these to build up a good amount of money.
Build up 2 £2, then £5.
I am starting to just check most rivers myself if I am in position and a very scary card comes which you could say is odd for someone who is aggressive. but that doesn't mean I never bluff lol.
keep up with your sit n gos
Apart from this hand i broke even today, but still it is a brutal spell right now.
Not playing bad, but a lot of bad beats, a lot more so than "bad beats" i would have put on someone else. In fact i n the last 2 weeks, i've maybe only given 1 person a bad beat where i got a full house on river against their flopped straight. Had another hand 2nd nuts over nuts, where i lost a buy in.
I'm still in profit and whatever, but i might withdraw 100 quid again cause such a bad run is serioussly annoying!
I decided to play some HU sngs yesterday for the first time in ages, not a proper session just had an hour to fill.
I started on pokerstars, and swiftly lost 5/5.
Won the next 2, then lost 3 more.
Moved over to sky and played 2x £5 hypers. Lost both.
Decided to try some turbos.
Played 3, lost 3.
2/14 overall
Brutal
Play those HU's tomorrow Henrik? We can't both lose!
Was trying to make larson feel abit better about HU sng runbad.
Does read like a diary post of my own though!! lool.
sorry shud have quoted sum1.
I was kinda annoyed and loaded up a a Hu Game, and won easily, guy called me down with K high when i had the nuts. Loved that he wanted a rematch! Won that.
Won the next 3 against 3 randoms, then lost 6th game, 2 pair versus turned flush.
So kinda puts yesterday back to evens (at hu's).
It was just so annoying yesterday, i got it in good atleast 3 times out of 5, and was rivered each time. But thats poker!
Apologies for the "negative" posts but yeah kinda was annoying the last couple of days.
Not that at matters at all, i just play for fun, not a brilliant player, prob not a total fish either. I just enjoy the game. I guess with a lot of people who play poker sometimes when it doesn't go all your way it can be a bit annoying.
brixxws27 /> anyone can go all in any hand ya know get a life
Then they won it with this hand:

Nice work, keep it up.
Cheers mate, but down from last week. So wasn't that good a week at HU, but had a bit of a bad spell with em so not that bad in the grand scheme of things.
Still going to play a small amount of cash. See how it goes
Won a fiver at one table and tenner at another. If playing cash i'm going to stick at 2 tables just now, and build it back up again.
Before i was easily winning over 4 tables, (win 2 b/even on 1 maybe lose on 1), but the last week (or since they done that Cash Promo) i've had a terrible run at cash, lot of run bad maybe some bad play mixed in.
Oh, and my mum phoned me to tell me to put a fiver on some kid from BGT. She never bets apart from the Grandnational and BGT lol last time it was susan boyle, good record at 2nds!
Seen game of thrones today, the newest espisode. Don't know if any1 else watches it, but wasn't expecting that! Totally mental haha Just rubbish that's it finishing on monday when it's getting really good,
Today i've played 12 HU Games, won 7 lost 5.
During the week i played 1 £2 HU Game and ended up losing it.
Sometime this week i might start playing £2 games, and only £2 games. Bankroll is just under £220, so i have plenty for it, and i'll just see what happens.
Maybe try 100-200 games at £2, and if that works out, move up to £5 games.
I know that they can be swingy, and if i start playing higher games, just need to stay focussed and accept that losing is part of the game as well as winning.

I thought it was fathers day today, so ended up saying id take my dad out for dinner. lol
Ah well, get your presents in early.
Was going quite well today, won quite a load of HU Games.
Played some cash, ended up losin an all in at 10nl, AQ over a set. Quite happy how the hand played, could have folded to the shove, but looked a lot like a flush draw. Was the proverbial set nice hand!
Saying i won x and lost x every day, is a bit robotic.
I'll still post up interesting hands in the clinic, and mainly post anything interesting/ i've learned, good successes, whats going well or not so good.
Think it might be a good idea, as well, to not play as much and do a bit of studying, get a better understand of the game.
I'll keep you posted on the journey, albeit not as regulary.
Good luck and run good everyone!
that last hand i would have just made a call OTf although a raise is ok too but when the villain then does a shove, given that you are holding the Qd and the two other cards are the lowest of low cards all he can really be holding is a set.
I thought i'd post this hand up see what peoples views are on it. Opponent had pocket aces, due to the preflop action his hand is pretty disguised. It's against borinloner, who knows a good amount about poker. It was player specific i played it this way.
I check the flop for deception and to let borin bluff at it. It is a fine balance betting for value, or maximising value. If we think opponents going to fold, i don't mind the way this played out. Due to the hand opponent had i have missed out on value.
Would you just be betting here all the way to get it on on the river? Even if this means, most of opponents range, is folding to any bet?
Update
I just wrote a massive thread and when i submitted it said i needed to log in and it was deleted so i'll keep this short haha
I think it's time to rest this diary for a while, it has been a journey which i've really enjoyed. I've learned heeps thanks to the community, here and in the poker clinic. I'm really happy / confident with how my cash game/ hu games have came along, but as carlos says it's a never ending game, and i will continue to learn and improve!
I have withdrawn most of my bankroll from sky, leaving myself with £40 to play with. Really liked some of the threads, eg est's turn a small amount into a large amount. I've put £50 quid into another poker site, and the rest is in my account if i ever want to redeposit it.
I got a bit tired of cash, dunno if it was because of all the promos, or if it just losing interest in it for a while, but since the promos started a month ago, i've not felt it's been the same on the cash tables. I'm still going to be playing on sky, just less than before, and will continue to be involved in the community.
For the next while i'm going to focus on MTTs and try and improve at these and hopefully bink a couple of decent wins, that could turn £40 into a decent amount! I'll be playing mostly £2 games. I'll offset any losses at MTT's by playing a small amount of HU games or cash.
A lot of new diaries have emerged in the last couple of weeks and look forward to reading them.
I've enjoyed writing this diary, thank you for reading it, and good luck at the tables!
Have enjoyed reading your diary and wish you luck on your other site.
BTW....fully agree with you about the cash promo's, far too many of them..........change the record sky!
