    Hardly played again last few days

    When i started this diary i was playing 1 night a week live , maybe 2 , but been playing more and realised earlier i,m playing every night this week from Mon - Fiday and am currently in 3 leaugues, but once they finish i think i,ll have to cut it down a bit.

    Got a tip off one of the best tournament players on here and he says the biggest way he improved his game was to just play as many hands as possible , which obviously is not possible playing live, but i,ll try and strike a balance after the leugues i,m in have finished

    Might as well update a cpl of the live leaugues since i havent played online for a cpl of days

    Day 60 and i,m back online

    Only playing a FR PLO and a FLOPs PLO (27 players - 3rd for about £6 )

    Min cashed in FR for 68p but just enjoying playing

    It would be interesting to see my PLO record against NLHE as its much better although i rarely play it

    Does anyone know if you can do that on Sharkscope?

    Decided to go bk to NL4 tonight and maybe the odd satelite

    EDIT : didn,t quite go to plan

    After looking over thread it seems my best results are coming from PLO and as i won £7.50 on another site in a FR i noticed some $5 dollar PLO DYM,s so played them and ended up winning 8/10. Its just a shame you cant play for $10 at this format

    Did get to play 1 game on Sky

    Quite a different month to last month as you can tell by the pts earned. Playing again live tonight and with my local pub final on 12th December i need to make the top ten and i,m currently 9th but there are lot of ppl around me with similar pts so i will be there every Wednesday and Friday night for both games until the Final.

    I think were up to the 9th week tonight from 13 weeks in the Nuts leaugue and i,m currently 3rd so will continue to play every week until that finishes.

    After this i will playing a lot more online again

    Although its not quite the end of the month i still havent qualifies for the Luton SPT due to not playing enough satelites which was my main aim for this month. Still time and i,ll be going fo it over the weekend

    Slipped to 4th of 68 so need a result tonight (Nuts leauge)

    - £11 (for month)

    My only aim is to finish the month in profit, try some more Omaha games and keep enjoying it

    Probably won,t be going to mad for the Santas Freeroll on 23rd as i,ll doubt i,ll get 2k pts and will be away although an IPAD would be nice 

    Another aim is to make my local pub final on december 12th - Only 4 games left and i,m hanging on to last spot by the skin of my teeth in 10th . I finished 11th last time and don,t want a repeat.
    Also the Nuts league will finish this month so a top 3 would be gr8 to qualify for regionals although top ten qualify as well for some other regionals

    Just going through a little period to try and get motivated again. Tried a cpl of £5.50 SPT sats but both got canceled due to numbers

    Of to play in the Redtooth leaugue now and got another busy week playing live , but after my local pub final (if i make it) on December 12th , that will free up 2 more nights to play online. If i do really well on Wednesday i could secure my place then but i,m currently in 10th but theres only a few pts seperating 8th -12th

    Did a bit of reading of my 1 hand at atime earlier and thats going to my main aim for this month esp after getting a cpl more books from wynne1938 and just try and make some improvements for the new year

    Not posted in last few dasy as its hard when losing,

    But in 1st game tonight £5 +£1 pub game shudda won it when i was HU - I was about 8-1 up with my A9 vs 89 AIPF HU_ but I got hit by a river for a str8. then JJ got bt by Q 10 off AIPF and we eventually decided to split as we had about even  for £45 each (small brag i spose)
     
    Didn,t play the second game as i wanted a cpl of m8,s to reach the final and that split had just gtd my final place on Wednesday after 3 months which is effeftively a £50 buy in - 10 player STT for free

    Happy days are back and will update on pub final

    As for online - slwoly getting there - will update soon but enjoying live play as well

    Ps - Nuts leaugue on hold due to miss -undertsanding rules of qualification to regionals
    Redtooth - Plodding along

    (aslo on a Thursday night there is a site that runs a 10 euro game and win or lose you get 10 eruro to spend on sports - can,t be bad )

    EDIT : On a sadder note (1hr later) played a £5 DYM and although i cashed had to report 2 players for collusion. its only the 2nd time i,ve done it . but when it gets to the middle -latter stages and dwon to 5 , someone hitting a set on flop and FH on turn and checking all the way after the SB had put some money in and then neither of them playing a hand or making even a single bet against each other stunk of collusion, but i,ll update if hear anything back from CS)

    Day 77

    And still nothing to report online asi haven,t been playing. Played a cpl of small games ther other night w/o success, and can.t play tonight due to my local pub final - 10 players - Jst short of £500 in the pot so hopefully i can play as well as i did last Friday night and take it down

    Regarding the above post about collusion - i received a quite detailed email from Sky saying they had looked into it and won,t be taking it any further. The information they gave me was enough to suggest they had looked into it properly and i have to admit on this occasion it looks like i was wrong

    Ps - Will update BR soon but gotta go now and play this final

    Day - Don,t know - Pub  Final

    10 players - 8k chips - 15 min blinds and £20 for best hand of the night with the other table with ppl who finished 11 th =20th in leaugue and jolly good buffet

    Whats not to love

    1/ £200
    2/ £100
    3/ £50
    4/ 30
    5/20 

    +£20 for best hand over 2 tables

    Bad start by rasing to 350 OOP with A 9 on 1st hand and trying to get someone off by losing nearly 2k.

    I,d alredady told myself i was raising the 1st hand of the game even on 72 as i knew it would get a round of applause as i,m known for bluffing all the time even though i play differently on line. In the pub i,m raising everything and picking up blind steals all the time. Luckily tonight i had about 7th choice of seat number i chose 8 in a flash. I was at the right hand of the 2 tightest players on the table - result - and knew they were always easy blind steals and thats wher a lot of my chips were got as i went on to win it for and picked along quad 6,s on the way for best  hand- £220 - minus a few drinks and a V.good night

    +nephews and neices xmas comin up

    Cheers m8

    Seems like ages since ive played on here. Been playing a few $5 and $10 dollar PLO DYM,s elsewhere and have a good record after about 40 games (enough to suggest i should carry on with them and now as most of the leagues are finishing for xmas i should be able to play a bit more online)

    Also got "The mental game of poker on its way" and been reading 1 HAAT volume 2 quite a bit which should stand be in good stead for MTT,s in latter stages (if i get there)

    Anyway - just had half an hour back on the 5p action tables . Missed them and hope to play more soon
