2 mtts played, 1st one nothing, 2nd won i came 5th with 3 bounties, Lost a massive hand at the FT, AK > KQ and 10J, Flop JJ lol
Total Spend £22, Winnings, £47.25, Profit, £25.25
The MTT games above, i've played about 12 games, so far i'm down about £50, not been able to win crucial flips and a good dose of being card dead lol
Feb was quite a swingy month, lots of highs and a lot of lows, but overall quite profitable.
I heatered in hyper sit and gos, at one point my ROI in them was 20%, i don't even want to look at what it is now, cause the last weak has been a lot of run bad with the HU hypers.
I've played quite a lot of HU Cash, some on here but mostly else where. Love playing HU cash, it's one of the best forms of poker, imo. Played quite a lot of regs on the other site at 20nl HU cash, it was pretty funny after a week most of them wouldn't play me. It wasn't to bad playing reg's some were quite decent, others not so.
On sky this month i played a mixture of 10nl and 20nl cash 6 max. Both were profitable.
Don't know if i'll be playing as much poker this month as last month.
The biggest thing that has changed in the last few months is that before i used to play for fun, just i enjoyed it.
I suppose more recently, the last 3/4 months it has been more to make a bit of money, still really enjoying it though.
One thing i'm pretty bad with is tilting and being spewy, that's one thing i'll need to get sorted.
Best part of my game, i would say HU Sit and gos/ Cash and 6 max cash.
Weakest part of my game, probably MTT's. Don't get me wrong i'm alrite at MTT's just sometimes it's hard to stay focussed for so long.
Someone told me it would be a good idea, was amazed at how bad i had played a few hands!
Was pretty fun though seeing how i played.
Might record another cash session tonight.
This is quite an interesting hand from lastnight; what would do on the turn? Smooth call or jam? It's versus a good regular. If we jam we lose value from their flush draws and just take it down there and then most times. If we smooth call in position, we can let them bluff the river when they miss. If the club comes in it's pretty yucky. What do you think the best line is?
Call/ship any river.
Don't know what is best, smooth calling or shipping? I suppose smooth calling is slightly better.
WHATS WRONG WITH FLAT
We get stacks off 22/TT anyway......
idc what comes otr, he doesn't fold a set.
Probably is 1 of the 2 hands, but in position, with a favourable pot/stack ratio (due to correct flop line) just no need to fold out any random stuff he might have.
It's too easy to play.
Not been playing much the last week, hardly played any 6 max cash at all.
I was playing a few HU sit and gos last night about 11 and through in a sat for the 12:30 £750 BH. I ended qualifying for £2, got off 2 a peach of a start was getting the hands, at the FT i had 40% of the chips in play 6 handed, there were 4 really short stacks at the table. Blew up big style to end up going out 4th!
These are my stats from the 20 £11 bh games to date (£220 total spend)
Total games 11*, Total Spend £144, winnings £126.01, Profit -£18*
*Includes 1 £33 BH. I've also qualified for this Thursday's BH through a freeroll.
I made a HU cash video and a really good HU cash player had a look at it for me. Was amazing hearing his views on hands, like when to check and when to bet, these types of things and just his all round knowledge of the game. He spotted quite a few leaks as well. I was amazed watching the video back how bad i played in certain spots.
WIth HU hypers i've been on a bit of a downswing recently, have been running really bad. Feel like i've been playing well enough, but had a good amount of bad beats, as well as losinga lot of flips, 40/60s, and 70, 30s.
This is a graph of my HU sit and gos ( />£3) to date this year.
At a bit of a cross roads with poker.
I need to have a hard look at why i play the game.
When i started it was just about fun, and while it still is fun i need to decide if i want to take it more seriously to take it to the next level.
It's hard to explain but i'm sure some others might have been here before.
It's been suggested i stop making withdrawels and just let bankroll build up.
That's what i'm going to be doing, and over the next couple of months i'll spend more time learning which is something i've really neglected to date. If i do the right things it should show in results in the future.
I don't need to change anything, but it's worth going for it. At the very least over the next few months i'll learn a lot. If something doesn't work out, then there's no harm in trying.
I don't normally do this, but these are some short term goals
It will prob take about 2/3 months for number 1. Number 2 could be a lot longer, but 1 bink and that would 1 and 2 be sorted:)
Total games 13*, Total Spend £187, winnings £194, Profit +7
*11 £11 MTTs, 2 £33 games.
Almost finished!
I could do, but don't need to with draw just now, so am just going to let BR grow and see where it goes.
It's the best way to grow as a player and move up the levels.
Nothings set in stone, i'll look at stuff every month.
I don't just play for money, like tonight i played 2 MTT's, £3 total buy in on here, and a £8 deepstack elsewhere just for a bit of fun.
Lost £30 quid in 20 minutes. No1 was folding to my crazy raises, and i ran a set into a straight lol
Don't play when drinking!
haha nice 1 Dave lol
Only 1 Larsson:)
Have been having a think about it, i'm going to stop posting in this diary for the time being, i might start it up again in a couple of months time.
I'm going to be doing my rambling else where for a while on a different forum:)
It's been fun, thanks for reading, and good luck all at the tables:D
Just a quick update now that's me finished my 20 £11 MTT's, or £220 spend on MTT's
I ended up playing 14 £11 games and 2 x £33 Main events.
Total games 16*, Total Spend £220, winnings £251, Profit +31.
It was good fun and i ended up getting into a lot of these games through Satelites, one of the main events was through one of the freeroll games during the double guarantee week.
For the next few weeks i'm going to be concentrating on MTT's, i've hardly played any cash at all in the last couple of weeks. I'm also going to be playing more Sats for the main events, something that people kept advising me to do ages ago when i first started this. Tbh, was never really a fan of satelites, but now i think they are quite decent!
I'm going to start this diary up again once my Sharkscope shows a profit of 2k.
