ONE TIME!.....another diary.

robbie1992 · June 2013

Yeah im getting to critical lately I think, just frustrated at how im running. Erm not massively different but there a lot of fishs that arnt regs, more flat calling and passive play, hardly no 4 betting light. People are playing a looser range from positions I think aswell. The regs are decent players. Just because its 10nl doesn't mean everyones a bad player, they might only feel comfortable here or are multitabling huge amounts. Thanks Benc, I wouldn't sit at your table either, unfortunately we have to play each other though due to the low numbers lol , u gonna stay playing cash when the promo is over or go back to heads up games?

Played in morning was meant to play 5 hours only played 3 hours was getting frustrated and hit a few bad beats so I decided to leave and come back in hour or two. I was about 4 byins up in first 40 mins and after I went card dead I felt a lot of pressure not to muck things up, it put me off my game a lot, struggled to deal with that and started playing nerverously and making silly calls really. Don't no why that happened. Finished 1 BYin up after bad beats for good size pots

BTW! this talk about people not entering the code ....I think its ridiculous they don't enter the code, its a competition so everyone wants to compete with each other. If it doesn't make a difference then just enter the code? in my opinion sky should of set a deadline to enter, maybe end of 1st day. They should also show the points. This would be better, as like I said its a competition so lets no where we stand and compete.

I think standard, put him on QQ OR JJ. should I flat call the raise and let one card come off or is this better to just get my money in ahead, I think this is better but is the other way an option?

This really surprised me , opponent was tight passive, so was abit surprised to see this, exact same hand the happened yesterday.

Also I unfortunately realised , If I get a bad beat like here I don't just lose £10, if I win ill have that £10 plus I win his money which is another £10. So really I have to win 2 all ins to equal out the bad beat. I wished I didn't realise this lol

robbie1992 · June 2013

What a disaster of a session in afternoon. Maybe the hours caught up with me. Felt so tired was making loose calls wasn't adapting and got about a million cold decks as usual.

I played 2 half hours when I was going to play 5, I won 2 hands over £3 and lost 12 over £3

Lost £40 in the session, so gutted I cant even explain. Was really playing well thoughout the week and never really got rewarded for it. I play bad and lose 4 byins ...just seems cruel.

Not even sure if Ill play tomorrow, today iv played 5 hours the least of the week so I don't think im going to catch anyone above me. If I played and lose the rest of my profit for the week aswell tomorrow id actually cry lol

Another **** day. it makes me sick you can play 4 tables and hit F all. and when I do everyone folds. Ruined all my hard work throughout the week this last day. down to £262, I need to loose 35 more to make it even for the week, I think that's definatly possiable. Would be an achievement to get back to that, would mean iv lost 10 byins in 2 days after not having a losing day for the 5 previous days. Im sure I can do it.

GELDY · June 2013

Hi Robbie

your overshove technique is a high variance play

You are happy doing it fairly wide

so you will take some big hits

short run that is not a problem if that is how you want to play

but you do need to evaluate if more hands that beat you are calling than those behind in the longer term

if so

then maybe tighten your range or reduce the size of the bet

calcalfold · June 2013

I had intended not to post on this thread again, but I just had to.

I quote

" it makes me sick you can play 4 tables and hit F all."

Perhaps, then, it would be a sensible idea not to ship it all in at a small pot when you hit the aforementioned F all.

Just being able to get paid off when you hit is only a fraction of a winning players armoury. Not sp//ing off when you miss is equally, if not even more, important.

I am sure you will find reason do disagree with me, or just revet you your normal abusive self, but the above hands imo are just awful play, nothing more nothing less.

Hm true , this should of been a raise no point shoving, maybe it was frustration. Usually my over shove is for value. What do I do if he keeps leading out, and I don't hit , should I just wait or what?

The fact you cannot, again, find a logical angle to rebuke my point must only serve to highlight that my point was in fact correct.

What will arguing with u achieve? It's pointless. I like ur comments it makes me more determined to improve keep them coming...

FCHD · June 2013

You need to listen to calcalfold. He is speaking sense. Some of the play is questionable at best, and if it makes you sick when you don't hit, why do you continue to play the same way?

A 10-buy-in swing over 2 days is pretty standard for cash, don't take it to heart quite so much and don't worry about how a single day up/down affects your bankroll.

robbie1992 · June 2013

Listen to cal when his come on my diary to me rude again saying I will go busto, i think that's so sad and i classy. I would never do that to another player out of respect and gentlemanly conduct, it's not nice.

Yeah I agree it's bad play that's why I posted it just for comments of help. Na Im not but its so dissapointed to finish the week and promo like this, gonna play tonight then tommorow a day off.

hhyftrftdr · June 2013

It's ok to fold AK if you completely whiff the flop and are led into. Or call his bet, in position, and re-asses on the turn. Shoving there looks exactly like the hand you have, so a pretty simple call for 99 imo.

lol The 3 hands you posted up, i don't know how you are ever going bust in any of them.

You posted up hands like this before, and you are doing the same thing yet again.

calcalfold · June 2013

Robbie,

I actually posted the above to test a theorem.

I dont know why, but the nice guy in me is going to offer help again to you.

I wanted to test your mental stabilty.

You may have some good ability you may not. I dont really know and will not pretent to know otherwise.

However, as an aside to the above, if you get angry at a couple of remarks from myself on this thread, I imagine you are also having some difficulty controlling your rage at the tables.

I admit I dont really like you, and no doubt you dont really like me, just a persoanlity clash. But in fairness I can relate to the determination you have to improve.

So I would suggest the next work you make is not in playing cards, but mental discipline.

All the best

Come on m8, give the guy a break. You are spot on with your thoughts on the hands but you could word it better.

The countdown to busto tick tock remark, along with others are obviously going to wind him up. As for the bolded part, why? You just seem to love winding him up and that is slightly out of order.

robbie1992 · June 2013

It's fine wallet Iv said to the guy not to post on my diary but he must have nothing else to do so let him enjoy himself. I love when he has to tell me what a nice guy he is lol tbh I'm gonna copy his busto comment and everytime I'm achieved somthig or am dissapointed ill quote it as motivation.

Anyway lets nt give him the attention he wants I wrote a diary for pure poker talk not arguments, thanks for everyone else's thoughts. Can you say a better method to play the hands, as I can't really work with " I would never busy there". Say thought process and what I should be thinking next time the situation arises.

calcalfold · June 2013

Waller I understand your perspective.

However i dont go for the airy fairy sugar coated words approach.

I just say it how I see it, I undertsand it might seem abrupt. But if I posted some hand histories the last thing I would want is people to come along and try not to hurt my feelings.

If I play bad I want to be told plain and simple. Far more effective. Of course some people are far more open to constructive and logical criticism than others........

Plus of course some people dont even understand when they are told plain and simple, wrapping it up in sweet nothings would be a complete waste of time.

With regards to the bolded part, if you want to be along term winning player, you need mental stability in order to cope with variance. I see that as a perfectly acceptable point to make.

If op wants, there is a fully functioning ignore feature at his disposal.

You talk a lot of sense and I agree with 90% of what you say. Just don't agree with some of the stuff you have written, like telling him you hope he goes bust......harsh.

robbie should take the majority of your advice on board though because I would not like to see him or anybody go bust.

calcalfold · June 2013

Yea fair play, totally agree

I was just annoyed when I said that, and I probably shouldnt have

I retract that remark.

Just my opinion on the hands above..

Hand 1: When that oppo minraises turn we are only getting called by better when we jam, may seem tight but i find a fold to the minraise on the turn what are we beating in his min raising range on the turn? he would flat with a draw after checking, so the check minraise should set the alarm bells off.

Hand 2: Argument for folding the turn, i know our hand looks pretty but even if we get there we could be up against fh/ better flush.

Hand 3: Would of played the same, when we isolate this specific player the flop is looking good for us ul.

Hand 4: Don't mind the jam vs this oppo, although it's very close he can definetly turn up with worse.

Hand 5: Turn card should slow us right down, i know the flop is a monster but this is like the nut worse turn so we should be looking to try get to the river cheaply not just shovelling our money in as we are only being called by trips, boats and bigger flush draws at a push here and our equity against all them hands is not very good.

Had an awful start to the day myself, i'm brutal with myself about each hand and it helps when i get back to the tables, gl if your playing tonight.

Listen to cal when his come on my diary to me rude again saying I will go busto, i think that's so sad and i classy. I would never do that to another player out of respect and gentlemanly conduct, it's not nice. Yeah I agree it's bad play that's why I posted it just for comments of help. Na Im not but its so dissapointed to finish the week and promo like this, gonna play tonight then tommorow a day off.

The last time Calc tried to help you, you ended up insulting him.

Again today, he was offering you feedback on your hands, and you started off again.

If you don't want people to comment on your hands don't post them.

robbie1992 · June 2013

cheers benc, iv forgot the hands but ill look on previous page tomorrow and take your advice in.

You seem to be doing good tonight so well done. Iv enjoyed playing with you this week, been an interesting battle and I was impressed with your play. You still up for hand history review some time this month?

Larsson why u talking silly, I cant even be bothered to state what iv already said. Ill press ignore for cal when I finish this anyways. Look how benc wrote his comment. Explain it well nothing rude, then told me how his doing.....that's all I want. Theres a way of talking to people, if you don't have the right approach in life no one will respect you or listen to you, no matter how much you no.

Anyway I took that critism on board and was very up for tonight game. Had a few points to prove I felt. Played the best iv played this weekend, was solid in my positions got max value for almost every hands. Must have been about 4 byins up I think even though I lost about 1 and half early on I didn't tilt. Like I said some points to prove. Ended up making a terriable call on flop when shoved into with gutshot/K high flush draw for £30 pot, I need to stop these mistakes, as im winning a fair few hands, im just losing too many aswell. Finished 1.6 byins up.

Also played my longest hours today, 10 hours, as I wanted to know I could do no more for the promo, iv given it everything this week I can do no more !

Balance: £276

Day: -£14

Hey robbie yeah might if seemed so with like 600-700bb stacks but was still down for the day, and yeah just pm me whenever we can sort out something will be doing a big review of wins and losses over next couple of days as it's my first real go at multitabling cash for long hours so loads of leaks will no doubt need to be fixed, would reccomend you do the same. Having shared the tables with you for alot of hours the last few days i'm sure technically you are more than capable of being succesfull, you just need to get to grips with your mindset and build your roll so your comfortable losing a few buyins. Well done on whatever bonus you get, have worked hard for it.

robbie1992 · June 2013

Yes dev definatly a day off, I earned the same c4p this week as I did last month lol maybe just play some cash at night. Will be a challenge to play as many hours with no promo. I did enjoy this promo alot hopefully by the next one ill have more tables, be a better player and be tilt free!..... I did say hopefully . U coming back to cash dev? Didnt see u this week.

Same that's my first time doing cash that long and with more tables so definatly leaks there. You 2 will no the answer to this, how do u fit any more tables then 4 , I got no more room on my screen for 5 or more?

Okay benc ill on u in the week some time, wel done on ur bonus too, top 5 must be nice

Decided to have a non poker day today to recover from the effort I put in last week. Basically had the laziest day possiable, see a few people and walked the dog that was about it , didn't even go for the jog I had planned. Did make a phone call to look in to more options in starting my own group for a medical condition in my community but havnt got a call back yet so fingers crossed everything goes to plan there. Also great news!!! tim Sherwood has commented saying gareth bale is 100% staying at Tottenham next season....please don't be lying

Pokerwise last week was my biggest week in a long time. It was a success for me as I played more table then before(4), played more hours then iv ever played (at least 6 a day), Didn't tilt until Saturday and sunday morning, felt I played solid for most the week aswell, forgetting Saturday and a small lose sunday morning, every session I played I come out at least with a small profit which seeing how things were going previous was a great achievement. Also my 7th place finish was a success for me as I aimed for top 20, my birthday is 7/7 and I have "lucky number 7" tattooed on my wrist so I should of known all along where I would finish. If kidwiz reads this could you reveal how much you played as I didn't see u last day and thought I had a chance of finishing above you, just want to know how far away I might have been, thanks.

I aim to keep playing a lot this week, but also studying a lot and doing hand reviews. Im also going to try and fit in a review session with "Benc" as a different form of learning as I rate his play highly. Will get back to the study book and taking notes on duececracked videos aswell. I did lose too many pots I shouldn't have to that's definatly something to improve on. The fact I did tilt for that one day is a sign I don't have things under full control and will keep trying methods out to help and I will go over some topics in "the mental game of poker". Hope I can feel as motivated this week to play seeing as there is no promo.

I only made £50 from cash games was £100 up going into the weekend, but had disaster Saturday and a bad sunday morning so £50 is more then I had before I started playing so im happy. £80 for my 7th placed finish makes it £130 for the week. I started my balance at the start of the week at £227, so increased my b/r by 55% I think. Still abit short of my initial £400 deposit but its a step in the right direction.....I certaintly wouldn't mind another £130 win next week.

Balance : £356.49

LARSON7 · June 2013

That's nice it motivates you!

Like something out of Hook, tick tock

Well done on the promo, a very nice boost to your bankroll. Good to see it is going in the right direction.

What kind of stuff do you read, or watch to help you at cash games? Do you spend quite a lot of your time studying?

robbie1992 · June 2013

every cloud has a silver lining...

And thankyou yes it boosted the Br hopefully it will keep going in the right direction.

I watch videos from a site called duececracked and I used to read loads of books. Harringtons cash game books are good, super system, gus Hansen book has a lot of thought process of an aggressive player so its something different. Also got a heads up book but havnt read a page of it yet, heads up varience scares me too much lol I tried to spend a while reading notes and going over and over it until it feels permentaly in my mind.

What do you do to improve?

LARSON7 · June 2013

Not really read any books, i probably wouldn't pick up to much from that.

When i started playing, was probably due to seeing it on the tv, really liked the programmes on channel 4. Learnt a bit from watching TV.

I really improved when i stumbled upon the forum and started getting involved in the community. The poker clinic has been really good in helping me improve/ learn on things. It's so true what they say, 5 minutes to learn the game a life time to master. Poker really is like an onion, you think you have gotten to grips with it then you peel back another layer, and so on.
