Look at it from your oppo's view. He's 3bet out of an 18bb stack. Do I really wanna call here with my 33/Q10o/910s/A8? Knowing full well a shove is coming on the flop.
It narrows your range down so much to essentially premium holdings. Squeeze jam leaves you with a fairly wide range and thus could get potentially looked up quite light.
Not been a good day really, havnt put a lot of volumne in this week
Played really well for the afternoon session, played 100 minutes and was 4 buy ins up, which I was happy with. Went and ate by bbq, come back at about 19:15 played to play for about 2 /3 hours as needed a shower after the jog. Ended up stacking off in a situation which I hate, iv lost a stack before this week in this way and its so annoying, I don't no how else I can play the hand tho.....ill post below. Then lost a stack when I 3bet QQ from the sb, villan flatted on 2 9 10 two spade board, he c/r money went in on flop, he had AJs , turn a Q , river a spade, why did the Q have to come on the turn to make me think I was safe
So end of day im +2 buy ins up, didn't play enough and annoyed and played lost 2 stack and thought i cbb playing for long to win it back. That's not a good attitude and if i cbb to play long session to win it back, i shouldn't play at all. Get my £45 for my c4p tomorrow so balance should have a new digit at the start soon!!!
BTW how should i go about withdrawing my initial £400, i plan and am happy to play at 10nl for at least end of august i think, as i want to just keep winning and try to consistently play 5 tables. should i withdraw £100 everytime i get over 600 until its payed back, or wait until iv got a bigger BR and withdraw from that, what your advice because i don't know.
BR: £570
Day : + 2 buy ins (£20)
Cant even remember most of the hands, but finished off stacking off with a bluff , I might post it, I think it was a good play but against too loose an opponent. Never mind, my bluffs seem to be working a high % of the time so I reckon there mostly +ev.
Might Grind some more tonight, I see I was 30th yesterday in that promo (now 36th) and thinking maybe to put effort in today and tomorrow to get top 20 which is £50, ill see how I feel. Cant play much sunday anyways as its my 21st so maybe I should just leave it.
Dissapointed I finished 1 buy in up for a 4h 45mins session, but if I can turn my bad starts into +1buy in days and keep winning 5+ buy ins on my good days im sure my BR will grow.
Balance: £626.57
Today: +1 buy in (£10) + C4P (£45)
Doing really well!
From your 400, now up up over 600, very nice going

Only small pot but it got me confussed, I have no reads as villain has just sat down. Should I of re raised to try and get it in on the flop, I just thought the board is too dry for that, and not a lot worse will get in on the flop, maybe a slowplayed AKor AQ. Hence why the turn is a bad card, I really don't see what I can beat on the turn .
Hand 2 - Hate his tiny 3betm then his minbet. If he took this exact line I'd raise his minbet alot smaller than you did and if he ships, I think we definitely have to fold. His line is embarassingly face up strong.
Hand 3 - Nah you shouldn't 3bet the flop, you'll more often than not end up getting it in behind or/and folding out everything you beat. Flat is good, but I'd be calling the turn too. Can't see him calling on the button with AA or JJ so we're only scared of him holding the two case 7s or AJ (doubt he's ever clicking back the flop with QT).
Meh I dunno, I'm probably playing really bad atm, but I don't see the point of calling the flop if we're gonna fold a turn that has basically helped none of his hands.
The thing is tho, its a fairly dry flop, why would u raise sets/2 pair here? it doesn't make no sense to so maybe he did do it with a weak hands, like KQ,KJ, Q10, AQ. wished you could see after the hand just to be sure lol might of been mastercash table, if it is ill email it to 861.
Such a BS day, run so bad, then at the end I tilted off a stack really with a call I didn't want to make but was just fed up. Really annoying as I havnt tilted in ages, but today was just too much. I care if I lose but if its normal situations fine, but when its just stupid cards and silly things happening its hard too take.
So played about 4 hours today and lost 1 1/2 buy ins, what an absolute waste of time.
Today is a reality check that I need to keep working at my game, I havnt for a while and today I just felt mentally I was struggling.
This site is really annoying me, I understand where people are coming from when the forum is filled with people moaning. I played 2 tables without seeing hand history because it wasn't working. All 4 tables had problems with the notes aswell, it was coming out when I was writing. Its things like this that you will never get on another site. No wonder today was so quiet, seems like the promo isn't working and people are playing on other sites a lot.
Wont play tomorrow as im turning 21 so have a enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone, GL on the tables.
Day : - 1.5 buy ins (-£15)
Balance: £611.09
Well it depends how you define not working.
Sky surely realise that the memberbase will not increase by much until the software improves.
With regard the promo, I think there is a lot of volume being put in by some. I dare say they would not have done the promo again if the last one did not make them some decent money.
Just as an aside. When the software improves, there could well be an influx of good players that realise how soft Sky is. Perhaps it will be at the detriment to a lot of us existing winning regs. Food for thought.
