Waking up from REALITY to CHASE MY DREAMS!!
Hi This is the first time in doing a diary so excuse me if it not to perfect. I currently work full time and have a strong passion for Poker. Where I can read magazines on what's happening in the Poker world on the tube or at home, I will. I also watch a lot of Poker events via youtube as well as reading various books (at the minute reading 'super systems 2' by Doyle Brunson...long book - but great!! When I'm not working, I like to squeeze what time I have playing in STT, MTT and ring games up NL2 and NL5 (3rd party site) As recently I have been drawn to Sky Poker. I love the almost family atmosphere it adopts where everybody helps everybody in improving their game. It's really inspired me to take it up another notch. I'm hoping to bump into other people have been or are in a similar situation to me who can best advise me on my journey. If anyone can recommend me a blog/diary to read to take TRUE INSPIRATION from, point me in that direction. I'll be happy to do so. Right now, being a Poker Professional does not wet my appetite. I have a good job which pays well but my passion for Poker wants me to play more study more and be a successful. I understand it may not bring MILLIONS (or will it...) but if I was able to be rewarded of investing my time to the game I love, the game I have grown to love over the past couple years, I won't complain. Goals ===== - to play in a major poker event and TAKE IT DOWN (so gutted I missed SPT Birmingham) - grind online 2-3 times a week for a few hours on 2-3 tables - par take in low buy in tournaments on Sky Poker - play through my bad beats online and post my bad beats as well as my wins to be guided on how to improve - PLAY GOOD POKER. if this can be done well,being rewarded shouldn't be too far off Bankroll ====== I currently have £30 as a recreational player (including my free £10 - thanks Sky Poker). I intend on grinding on the small tables and where possible if my bankroll allows it, enter some tournaments. Mission Statement from 'tahtrizzle' ========================== I have made it my duty to focus on my diary as much as my poker game in aiding me to achieve my winning goals. WIN or LOSE, I will remain positive. The poker gods are with me...I want the community to be with me to Off topic...I'm soooooo gutted I missed the SPT in Birmingham. I feel as though I'm playing some good poker at present and would of loved to be involved Don't wanna miss out the next one. Thanks for reading...believe in me |

Good luck with it all. Not sure how experienced you are so just be careful not to try and run before you can walk.

Hey
Good luck to you.
There is many various diaries on the forum, just have a look about and see what interests you.
The £10 free token you have can be used across any MTT. You can get deepstack ones for as little as a pound, or £2 bounty hunters.
If you have any interesting hands post them up in your diary or in the poker clinic section and people will leave excellent feedback to help you improve.
Most importantly have fun and dont take it to serioussly.
All the best
The one important factor is-----Enjoy it .
Good luck x
your small stack all in will lose to larger stack everytime
you will never hit a gut shot but you will always lose to one on the river
and when you hit the dogs b*****ks on the flop everyone will fold/but when someone else hits it by, shear luck you will have a hand to keep you intrested ,leave now mate
However you don't have to pile cash into your account, and you say you have a good job that pays well. So notionally your bankroll is probably higher than £30. I'm not trying to patronise here at all, I'm only saying incase you lose a few stacks and get disheartened. There will be swings.
If cash is your preferred game I'd not start on DYMs, they play very differently and require a very different mindset.
Whatever you do, good luck with it.
I think this should show up ok...
So this was my hand of the evening. Nothing to spectactular. Was a bit of a calling station on this hand but was aware that could of been beaten by a Diamond higher than my 8.
Just glad hand posted for now.
As for the hand history, just copy and paste it into the comments box and when you post it, it will revert back to the table and not all the hyperlink stuff.
Hope that helps, and gl on the tables.
Should of bet for value on the Turn (unless he wanted to rep the King)
Thanks though
what a great result too.
also, this happened just before I went on my DYM challenge last year,and at the time along with JohnConners
challenge,was my inspiration, so thank you.
totally agree...great way to build a BR.

ps; oh yeah,went from 9 tables to 15/18 by the end.(21 being my max)
(practise makes perfect...lol)
when the new re-sizable tables arrive ,ha ha, going to have a go at trying to play 40 with-in a month. lol
Never ever be checking that 86 flush, other hands will pay you off and Ad will pay to call.
All you need to know about 4nl is when you make a hand that is very likely to be leading at that time bet bet bet
hope not though as i'd really enjoy the challenge of testing myself playing that many tables.
even if it was for just 1 day. lol
