So last night I was really up for playing MTT's, but I didn't last long in anyof them. I played pretty bad.
I won quite a good bit at cash, and at 3am I thought I would give some HU Cash a go. I watched 1 guy play for abit and thought I would have a go at 50/1. It was going ok, then I had the best hand to the river and ended up losing about £70 in total.
It was pretty bad lol I should have just stopped playing when I was up. I won't be doing that again for a long time!
It didn't really bother me losing, it's just part of the game.
I know that might sound a bit strange, but I rekcon it taught me an important lesson!
Had a really good session tonight, ended up £70 quid up on a 10nl master cash table.
I also won the Orfie League for November with a score of 4, which im really pleased with and well done to longman for coming second.
Ended up coming 2nd in DTD 1 tonight, was really glad just to make a FT, I've been running pretty bad in MTTs over the last week.
I was running deep in DTD 2 as well, was itm, then I got HU in the 1st game, and lost focus of the other game, I thought I was seeing the hands, and was doing ok, by the time I was knocked out of DTD1 I had 4 bb in the other game, must have just blinded down, didn't think I had missed any hands tho lol
Every1 seems, for the most part, to play cash or mtts. I play both, mostly cash I would say.
Don't know if I should try and focus on 1 over the other, or just keep playing both.
Not to sure which i'm best at now, probably as good at both I would say.
All the regs with diaries, Jac35, DYMs, some cash mtts, Craigcu, cash, Chickenmelt, mtts, dohh, hu sit and gos, mtts, gazza, mostly mtts with some cash, f_ivan, cash, the don, mtts and some cash, tommy d, everything, lambert180, cash.
Most players seem to focus on 1 variance of the game over another,
Thoughts everyone, is it better to concentrate on one area, or just have a mix of everthing?
As you're probably the most regular NL10 poster I thought I'd have a flick through your diary - really impressive turnaround on the MTT front and certainly an inspiration for those of us trying to improve at a similar level of buyin.
Am I right in saying you are mostly regging the £2.30 BI bounty hunters and micro stakes deepies rather than looking at bigger BI or sats more regularly - and do you still mix these in with cash when multi-tabling or do you very much stick to one format at any time?
Good luck with the continued improvement... would obviously love to see you jump up to NL20 and take away one more of the better players from NL10!
I don't play that many BH'ers, a lot of the time it's just a lottery, and really difficult to get a good run in them. I play the odd one for a bit of fun, i'm happy if I make a slight profit.
Most of the volume in MTT's is from low stake deepstack games. I don't play many sats or bigger buy in tournies, even though I probably should!

This! Should be looking to sat into most Mains Henrik....you never know what you might bink....
If you enjoy cash and MTT's then just play both innit. I splash about in cash occasionally but MTT's will always be my bread and butter. I do enjoy a nice cash grind though.
I suppose it depends... in a single session I would expect that the looser player would be the one that would secure the big spin up... but then I'd also expect them to have more big losing sessions as well, which may mean that tight could well make more money over a larger sample?
That said, as one of the biggest nits, I do look on very enviously when I see people sat with 500BB, 1,000BB, or even larger stacks!
Decided not to make any withdrawels, till I had built it up a good bit, hopefully when c4p go into morrow, 1k profit for the month will be more than achievable.
I suppose it's depends on the table you are playing on. I definatly change how I play depending on table dynamics. It seems most 10nl regs are TAG, in fact I can't think of 1 that isn't! I wonder if they make much money. Posted by LARSON7
There are a small number of more LAG players, but I suppose at this level it is to be expected most players are just focussing on doing the basics (which lends itself more to TAG) and the creativity increases exponentially as you progress through the levels...
That's some pretty impressive bankroll building - what sort of quantity (time x tables x level) are you now playing to rock those sorts of profit?
This is the schedule Monday 09/12/2013 Bounty Hunter £33 £10,000 £20,000 Tuesday 10/12/2013 Turbo Open £11 £5,000 £10,000 Wednesday 11/12/2013 Rebuy Open £11 £6,000 £12,000 Thursday 12/12/2013 Sky Sports Bounty Hunter £33 £12,000 £25,000 Friday 13/12/2013 Bounty Hunter £33 £10,000 £20,000 Saturday 14/12/2013 Bounty Hunter £33 £10,000 £20,000 Sunday 15/12/2013 Primo £55 £15,000 £30, I want to play every game, except the wed rebuy Posted by LARSON7
Plan for mains next week,
Play Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Fri,Sat and Sunday.
The 24 Charity Grind Starts on Saturday aswell for 24 hours from 11am. So far over £400 has been raised, the vast majority of which is from sky forum members, which is absolutely fantastic, thanks a lot to everyone on the community, still a week to go!
For the mains, it's not something I've ever done before but i'm going to have 50%-60% in myself with the remaining % going to others. Would be nice to get a big score this week!
The above schedule is not fixed yet, i'll post up the games i'm definatly playing by tomorrow night.
Paul, i'm not playing the re-buy because I prefer freezeouts, wouldn't be to sure of best strategy for the rebuy.
I'm going to play the mains on Mon, Tues, Thus and Friday.
Would be sweet to get a really big score this week, my A games going to be on, bit of run good and bobs your uncle fan ny' s your aunt! Come on run good:D
Have the 24 hour cash grind on Saturday so decded not to play the main that night.
If I do well during the week, I will also play the primo. Probably won't be playing much cash this week.
I don't think I can ever fold here, maybe I can? And just hope some1 gets knocked out

This was my fave hand from last night, against a total maniac.

Better to play a mixture of everything or better to focus on one area?
Paul who is the DTD pro?
Hopefully I will be beating higher levels soon, time will tell!
Wonder what makes more money, loose or tight, loose I guess?

Been a really good week my roll has increased just under 40%, c4p helped too!

Well done on winning orfie on Friday oustandting result!
One time this week, ah got a feelin!
Today was a funny day!
I qualified for the Primo for £6, ended up going out about 100th, 2 pair KQ, on a 23Q, K board, all in on turn, opponent had a set GG!
I also played the primo freeroll, ended up 7th out of 660, out on the stone cold bubble.
A guy got runner runner flush, and he would have been knocked out by the other player in the hand. But hey ho
