Not played this week, been a bit utw, but I may play a mini-session after tonight's England v Fiji World Cup opener, & again tomorrow & Sunday.
So, before I get in a muddle with my numbers, I'd best post the numbers from last week. Variance was in fine form, let me tell you. What a fickle lady she is. Some "best" & "worst" sessions last week. Just when you think you've cracked the game, along comes Dame Fickle, smoking a pipe.
So, all in all, not a good week. As of c-o-b Thursday, I was heading for 60% of games won, & some very respectable profits, but the wheels came off over Friday, Saturday, &, especially, Sunday. No idea how I lost 5 of 6 @ £11 on Sunday, but then I have no idea how I did so stunningly well on Wednesday & Thursday.
In the end, I was pleased to escape with a profit, albeit a small one.
The bankroll stands at £2,161.39, & the battle to hold above £2,200 continues.
Loved every minute of it though.
Might pop in later this evening for an hour or two, & again over the weekend.
Hope you're ok Mr K, wonder why you consider variance to be a lady? (I see variance as a mean grumpy old man!) Enjoy the game, hopefully see you at the tables later Mother xxxx Posted by Amarie
Barely played last week, just 22 games, of which I managed to win just 11.
This week? Don't ask, am getting beaten up left right & centre, Monday in particular, winning just 10 from 26. Ugh. Run bad, play bad, bad bad, bleurgh. Enjoying the struggle though, there is something quite satisfying when it is all uphill & into the wind.
Anyway, the reason I posted today was to give a bit of encouragement to a special mate of mine, "mmmchips".
This guy is the greatest, & might just be the most witty, & to see him toy with the trolls, in particular the resident PLO8 troll, is incred.
Right now, he can't win a race to save his life, bear after beat is getting inflicted on him, but he takes it all like a grown up should.
I was AWOL on Friday & Saturday, but I think I'll have a session tonight & try & repair a bit of the damage.
As it stands (this week, 4 sessions) I am.....
P113, W57, L56 (a shade over 50%) for a loss of around £53.
Be a miracle to get out of that hole, but if I can reduce the deficit, I'll feel better. It's Double Points too, so I may pick up some extra Rewards Money. Every little helps.......
Pretty consistent, then, with 55% being break even, I lost money at every level.
No excuses, one of those weeks. I only won 10 from 26 on Monday, & dropped £47.50, so it was all about damage limitation, & we pulled a bit back, with the last 2 days both being small winners. Hit the hat trick last night (Monday) getting this week off to a much better start, winning 63% for £15.80 profit.
Enjoying it immensely at the moment, despite a few weeks bad numbers, & the long term graph remains steadily positive.
It's a real challenge to not have the occasional bad session though, where a week's numbers gets destroyed by one bad session.
Im not saying the standard is great but there is no doubt its tough to win at these and there certainly are some good players. Im available for coaching should you want any Tikay, lmao....only kidding.
Do you think you should take more chances early on perhaps? Is it high priority to get the chips from a weaker player before someone else does?
Im not qualified to give you proper advice but I wonder do you ammend you approach depending on your opponent?

No further evidence, M'Lord.

Chin up Mr mmm, it'll turn soon enough.
I'd better post last week's numbers, before I get in a muddle.
Nothing much, just three small sessions, but it all has to be recorded.
Week ending 20th September 2015
£5.50, P18, W10, L8
£11, P4, W2, L2
Total, P22, W12, = 54.5%
Loss on week = £1.70
Bankroll £2,160.69
If those numbers look poor, wait till you see this week's........
Swap yours for mine this week.
Or....at least she used to, until I bought her one daffodil for mothers day instead of a bunch of them
My ears are still ringing now from that clip round the ear
Thanks guys.

Belated update of last week's truly horrible numbers to follow.
Think I have to be pleased, in a weird way, I was £58 in the hole after the first day, & ended up £34 down, so at least there was a mini recovery.
Just 5 games ran at £11 last week on the 5 nights I played. Maybe just as well, might have lost even more......
£3.30, P81, W43, win rate = 53%
£5.50, P 57, W30, win rate = 53%
£11, P5, W2, win rate = 40%
TOTAL, P143, W75, win rate = 52%
LOSS ON WEEK = £34.71
Pretty consistent, then, with 55% being break even, I lost money at every level.
No excuses, one of those weeks. I only won 10 from 26 on Monday, & dropped £47.50, so it was all about damage limitation, & we pulled a bit back, with the last 2 days both being small winners.

Well done Vespa, good luck in the new job.
