plus this happens
£250 BH (£2.30) 6pm
£100 DS (£2.20) 7.15pm
£100 DS (£1.10) 7.45pm
£500 BH (£2.30) 8pm
Plus all the freerolls, the odd dym and sat. So as you can see, a bad night hurts!!
BUT.....I enjoy playing them
I am capable of winning, have won, any of these mtt's. The problem is that my measly roll is struggling to handle the variance involved. I tried cash, didn't enjoy it (plus I was poor) and dyms bore me to sleep!!!!
Played the usual mtts without success apart from a couple of heads. I got very unlucky in the mid stages of the £500 BH after a 20bb stack open shoved with AQ......I'm sitting there with kings and re-shove, happy days until he rivers the straight and I'm left with a 20bb stack myself instead of a top 5 stack with 60 left
Played a few dyms....W3 L2
I even played cash for a bit and came away a quid up.
Br has taken another hit though.....again. Think I will cut down the amount of mtts I play and up the dyms and maybe even cash. No poker tomorrow as I'm going to the battle cruiser for a mate's birthday.
BR = £13.51
Totally genuine question, I have not been following,
No withdrawls along the way??
Nope none along the way just no wins due to a lack of poker ability.
I played my usual mtts, the 2 deepys and the £250 £500 BH's alongside some £3 dyms. So, how did things go? Well I got off to a bad start, busting in the first level of the BH's to coolers (set over set and top 2 v set) and I never got going in the 7.15 deepy. But...............
I won the 7.45 deepy. My first win in months!!
waller025800001£32.42
Even the dyms went quite well! I did lose £3 earlier on in an all in sat for the roller (I had to have one go) but not too bothered about it now.
BR = £46.64
So almost back to starting br after falling to a critically low level. Still not sure if I have the roll to handle the variance involved in mtts but I'm gonna keep trying. Hopefully the dyms on the side will help (if I can keep up with my recent improvement in that format)
Im pleased youve gone down the MTT route tbh. Yes its high variance. Yes its not really working with a BR. But its what youre best at and most importantly its what you enjoy - and if you are playing poker and not enjoying it why bother? Im exactly the same.
Nice bink mate. Stick to the small tournaments... they are decent. Are you playing any of the £2.20 or £3.30 or £1.10 turbos/rebuys with like a £30 or £50 gtd in the afternoon? They only get about 12 players running usually and are very good mini tournaments to help a BR.
This is the tournie i went out of yesterday in 12th place just after the bubble burst. Is my fave one of the deepstacks, probably cause its only a pound to enter lol
Good to see your back up to almost ur starting stack.
Nice feeling getting 1st, and the start of a bit of run good for sure.
Yeah I'm gonna stick with mtts purely because I enjoy them. I'm not playing any of the afternoon mtts because of work, the first one I play is normally the £250 BH at 6pm. I'm hoping the dyms will help pay for a lot of the mtts I play too so I can TRY and avoid going broke.
Wd on winning another mtt yourself mate.

Just played the DTDs and only ran deep in DTD 2 eventually busting when I open shoved 9bb with A10 and ran into Aces on the bb.......another enjoyable night though. The DTD is VERY hard to win!!!
DTD 1.
Lost a big pot blind v blind AK<AA then busted my last 5bb A10<K10

DTD 2.
got my last 9bb in the middle in pretty bad shape!! A10<AA

DTD 3.
Exit hand posted below. Thoughts appreciated.

Have three hands to post tonight where I would appreciate some feedback.
Hand 1.
Exit hand from DTD 3. By the time the action is round to me I'm pretty sure that one of them may have flopped the flush, but given the fact I may still be ahead plus I can house up or hit another 6 (I think i'm getting the odds????) was my call correct????

Hand 2.
Oppo here is a good player (mostly :P). Unlikely to spew off here with one pair. Could have a missed draw, could have nothing but a lot more likely to be strong. Hate the way I played my hand. Did discuss it afterwards when I said "you had better than one pair?" and they assured me they did......but they would say that. I'm confident I was beat here though simply due to my history with that player. I think I should have got the lot in or folded the turn???? Thoughts here please!!!

Hand 3.
Oppo here is another well known competent player. We both have big stacks and it's still very early on. But should I have gone bust?? When they flat the 4 bet and then the flop bet something didn't feel right....I'm pretty sure they wouldn't play AJ like this and I think they would most likely have given up with AK. I smelt a rat and I didn't want to clash with another big stack so early on. Should I have gone bust here.....even though my gut feeling was telling me something was wrong???

I would have prob got the lot in against 2 randoms in the above hands. Should I have still gone for it given my reads on the oppo's?? Am I a total nit???? lol
BR = £41.14
Played 2 £3 dyms and lost them both by losing 2 70/30's.......not ideal!! Also played a 20 runner BH and finished 7th with 2 heads, happy with my play in that one.
Now I have a dilemma on my hands. I have sat into the main event tonight so I should really buy into the mini (gotta be in it to win it) but it's obv way outside of my br!! Will prob buy in though as it is a BH so there is a chance of at least getting some head prizes, besides pigs might fly and I could scoop the jackpot!!! hahaha

Have lost a tenner today but I will stick to a couple more dyms as I have lost the previous 2 whilst making the correct play (I think). Full update at the end of the night.
GOING BAD!!!!! If you don't get a good start in that turbo you can kiss it goodbye.....I kissed it lol!!
Elsewhere??? Also bad!!!
Back to critical status.....update later
One of those nights, played bad, ran worse, testicles bruised!!!
Playing with a br any less than 3 figures is rather hard! You can't apply any form of brm and the beats hurt. Tried to pay for any mtts I played with the dyms tonight but everything that could go wrong.......did go wrong! Didn't enjoy this evening truth be told haha.
There is obv something wrong with my game, if you can't beat the micros then you can't beat anything. Back to the drawing board!!!
Gonna watch a film and go to bed..........dejected!!!
BR = £12.99......even the br seems a bit of a p*** take, £12.99 please.....keep the change!
Hey Ryan
A lot of time in the low stakes it's hard becase you play a hand well, and someone has called with junk and gets there. That's my initial impression anyway after playing quite a few more mtts recently. This is especially true in B/h ers.
I know people say you want those players, but when there is so many, it soon all adds up.
It's hard but i would say don't focus too much on bankroll, get the fun back into the game. If you are not enjoying it, it's not worth it.
Stay focussed, and good luck.
hang in there u can do it drop to 50p dym for the time being.

The HU battle was one of the best I have had with both of us on the ropes at some stage but I got the hands when it mattered, and actually got a bit fortunate to bust him. So, that's 2 mtt wins this week......none for months then 2 in a week!
I also played the other £150 BH alongside this one and busted out 2 off the money, very annoyingly. I open shoved my 12bb with AJ in the cut off, looked up by A6 in the big blind.......6 on the river and out I go
