This - BR = £8.29
Hopefully when you wake up this morning (Hangover Cure in Hand:) you will be delighted with this session.
Well done - Keep it up.
well played mate,
more of the same today,
YOU CAN DO IT.

Yeah grantorino, dev explained to me why it should be a fold.......think hands like that were the reason I wasn't doing very well in the dyms.
Plan for today is prob some more HU, maybe some 4nl and some freerolls. I wish there were more mtts on here for a 1 quid BI........I miss mtts!!
First of all I need food then a SSS (****,shower,shave).......feeling rather delicate!
The HU is going quite well.....although not sure what a good ROI is for these???
So far today I have played 11..... W8 L3
So total HU since I started yesterday......Played 40....W26 L14. Is this an acceptable ROI or should I be looking to improve??
Due to a poor 4nl session I'm down slightly today.
BR = £6.68
Gonna chill and play the freeroll then play some more HU later. No more 4nl unless my BR improves
Two more things......
1. Yeah I hope I do build up the roll.
2. If I do then I WILL NOT see you HU if I can help it..........I read your diary and can see that you are one to avoid!!
Keep up the good work with your diary.....I'm one of those who reads them but rarely posts
There are a few winning regs in those games, work out who they are asap then avoid them.
jst a quick note to say good luck
nl4 can be very boring if you don't multi table - agree with you there
Bit of a delay in the update as I haven't been on.
Have mainly been playing the £1HU still, although I have been playing the £1.10 DS and 4nl (which I will no longer be playing).
Saturday night was the last time I played, I found it really hard to get a winning streak going, was constantly W1 L1 etc......until around 9pm. At this stage I think the alcohol must have taken hold of some players as I noticed some of the oppos play becoming crazier and I finally managed to win more than I was losing.
So, I ended the evening Played 38......W22 L16. Total so far for HU is P78 W48 L30
My BR could be better if I had lost at 4nl and the mtts that I am playing. I intend to keep playing the £1.10 DS though as it wont break the bank.....plus I enjoy it.
BR = £8.73
I won't be playing much (if at all) this week due to having a really busy week at work. However I am in the syndicate freeroll tonight so there is a chance of making some money there.
Thats me done for the week most likely tooooooo busy!
Run good all
Well I'm back on the tables after a few days off due to a BUSY week at work!!
In fact I'm still very tired and wasn't really in the mood, which is why I'm stopping for the night. Gonna drink beer, chill and watch TV (seeing as I forked out for it!).
I played (if you can call it that) the £1.10 DS........a few hands in and I donked off 3/4 of my stack, not the best start but I managed to build it back up to an 11k stack with blinds at 150/300. Then I donked it off again, rusty and tired.....not a good combo! Must have played that tourney 5 times recently and not a sniff of a cash.
HU (£1 speed)..........played 10 matches tonight, again not really up for it but I did fair better in these winning 7 and losing 3. So thats a total of P88 W55 L33 since I started playing them, gonna stick with them for while. I quite enjoy them but they don't give me the same buzz as an MTT.......hoping to build up enough of a roll to start playing more of them.
BR = £11.13
Not sure how much I will be playing over the weekend but am def not playing next week as I am off work and going away.........much needed break from work and probs poker tbh.....OOOOOOOSH!
How much can I expect to pay to have a fuel filter replaced?? I have bought the part and had a go myself, but without ramps I couldn't gain enough access to do it. I am going away on Monday afternoon so I need my local garage to do it as an emergency on monday morning......rough figure??
Pokerwise, I'm about to play some more HU as well as the £1.10 DS (need to finally cash in this!!!!). Will update later.
The £1.10 DS went the usual way and the HU matches were frustratingly poor too. I can't put my finger on what went wrong tonight, there were a few players who were decent and deserved to win, fair play to them. But in others I felt I had a big edge.........however the edge means nothing if you get your chips in the middle as a big fav then get outdrawn.
I knew I was due a session like this but I guess I was hoping it would come when my roll could handle it better. Ah well, tis poker............In all honesty though, when I sit down and think about it I kick myself and I wonder how I ended up here. I used to think I was an ok player, I mean surely in the 3 years I have been playing it hasn't just been luck?? Can a poor player be lucky for 3 years?? Am I actually poo at poker and my luck has ran out??.......this all runs through my head....not good!
Anyway, tonight:
£1.10 DS .....same old story
HU: P28 W13 L15
Total: P116 W68 L48
BR: £6.63
SIGH!!!..............remember the good old days when poker seemed easy!! lol
look what GaryQQQ is doing atm,...all from nothing.
so i'm sure you can build your b/roll up again mate even from £6.
myself I would stick in another £30-£40 and build from there,with no pressure on me,playing dym's.
£1 & £2 to start then £3 when b/roll gets to £100.
whatever you do,just think positive and play positive,easier said than done though,i know.
you CAN do it.i know you can

You have played for 3 years successfully and got a nice new tv!
The stuff you are talking about is variance, and we all feel like that when it's not going right. In fact its one of the most common comments on the thread, people being down about their lossess,
I think you started initially with very little and spun it up to a good amount? Why don't you just do the same, deposit 80-100 quid and start afresh. Clearly you are a good player, and in the grand scheme of things from what you have said you have not actually lost anything from poker given what you initially started with.
HU games can be very swingy, and despite our best play we are not always going to win these.
You are a good player, but playing with 5-10 pound in your account will not allow for optimum play.
Good luck
I honestly feel I can beat these £1 HU games though and I hope get to around £30 mark and start playing some £2.30 BH's alongside these....thats the plan anyway!
Keep it going with your cash game m8, enjoying your diary.
I just think dym's are the best way to build as the variance is low,but then I would,as I've played so many,haven't I. lol
if you can spin that £6 up great,if not put in £50 or so then when you get it up to £100 draw it out,as I did,then you are back playing with 'free money' and a good starting b/roll again.

IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!.............I'm broke lol
Went on a bad run in the HU matches and could not recover
I am away all next week so won't be depositing until I get back. Prob will only be sticking £50 on but not 100% sure what games I will be playing.........keeping BRM in mind what does anybody suggest I play??
Will still be keeping this thread going to try and keep myself focussed (and so people can see just how BAD I have become......the idea is to improve but I have become worse, a lot worse!).
So, back next week £50 what do I play????
The £1 deep stack games are pretty soft. Maybe a few £2 b/h 2
The £1, HU games with a 1500 starting stack, i think that's what you were playing?, will give you a good edge aswell. I just play the turbos, but theres a lot more play in the bigger stack 1s.
If you are going 2 play cash, 2 table 4nl, be patient, pick your spots, and bet your hands big.
You could also do a Garyqqq, and spin up your free points.
Good luck!
Will prob continue with the HU too........this week off will do me good though, fresh start, pressure off. Should be easier to play with £50 rather than £5. If I blow the £50 I will seriously consider whether I want to ply poker anymore lol
