And after one of the worst runs ever and despite losing all my chips in last hand of timed tourney all is good amd my luck finally changed in £5.75 BH - about 40 players
just done another session on NL10 or Nl4 - think ive broke my record today as i have been playing 3-4 tables for bout 9 hours after not seleeping the night before - Got through the 1k pts barrier
Don,t really like setting targets , but have always wanted to go to Vegas so i,m now thinking if i can turn this into 1k, I,m off to Vegas this year, (around world series time so i can meet up with the other sky regs on here who will be there and support some in the ME)- I know it might cost a little more but i,ve got a little bit of savings i can take out for some spending money So back to it and good session all in alll after bad start and aprt from 1 mistake where i folded AJ on ajack high board when i misclicked

I would always contribute to your diary but I sometimes forget the shed even exists and therefore forget your diary. I'll try and make an effort to post more regularly from now on. Good luck with the challenge Sir!
edit: see? it's not even called the shed anymore. I sux.
Cheers for the messages folks . I,m hoping this will give me an even bigger incentive to keep the diary going and get the volume in to get over the 1k mark
I,m going to start with a quick cash session when the happy hour starts then going to stretch my BR slightly and play the £10 60 minute timed tournament on Tele, Never played a £10 one before . Its always been £5 or £3 for 15 or 30 minutes so should be interesting - EDIT - Its only a fiver at 7.10pm
After spotting a new Omaha challenge in poker chat sction by JockBMW i decided to give it a go , although probably not a good time as there were a few regs at the lower limits as its only just started today
well done lad give me a few tips u reckon the dym r worth it m8 but u gotta play 10 pounds and 20 pounds 2 c the difference let me know m8 thx ebbwlad Posted by ebbwlad
I havent played any for a while due to the cash champ promo. The only reason i played a cpl yesterday was because there is another challenge on PLO DYM,s in poker chat section ( by Jock BMW)
I,d say it depends what your record is like in DYM,s and how many you have played . I,d try and beat the £5 DYM,s first over a consistent period. i very rarerly play £10 and above games due to BR , but when i do especially in DYM,s i tend to to use sharkscope and select the games i want to play in as you could find yourself up against 5 regs
Another tip would be to read John Connors blog on DYM,s. I presume its still there and gives a good guide from a constant winner at this format on how best to maximise your chances
Of course it also depends how many tables your playing at once. There was a diary in poker chat by "Devonfish" who spent months grinding the low stakes DYM,s and was very succesful at it . He,d be better qualified than me to give you advice on DYM,s
Decided to play an MTT for a change - so late regd for the £400gtd - £2 rebuy - Took a rebuy and addon for £6.40 but as we are now on brk i made it to the FT albeit in 5th place - although was from 130 runners so cant complain - will upadte when finished
EDIT : Update and happy days
Thought i was done for when down to to 3 and my q8s vs 10 8 off got rivered by a str8 AIPF, but held on
BR £722.49 PTS 1200 - hopeully thats enought pts for 30th (not seen any oppos on)
Cudda cost me a seat in the £55 BH - felt ike it could be another good night )
EDIT - STILL IN - wrong game - get in - SSTILL in 13th of 18 paying 12 seats - 12th from 16 9th from 15 and a pot goin on - i won it - 8th from 14 - on bubble - just got to sit out iand playing another £50 game in a week -
dbld up early and then this - lost my head thought i could bluff him
Decided to have a quick go on the Omaha challenge in GPC by playing 4 micro DY,ms togethor amd hoping to win all 4 EDIT : only played 1 due to tables not filling up quickily enough)
A dissapointing night after a cpl of MTT,s - Last game was £3 rebuy - no rebuys - no add ons and with 3 left had half the chips and still came 3rd - will post esults and add up tommorow
I did win a seat into Thursday nights mini BH for a post on the showthread so might have to satelite into the main as well.
Found myself sat nxt to chrisdboy on a £10 BH - I went out on aces - His dbld up but glad to see it . He,d just been a bad beat away from the Biggie - 10k jacpot for winning main and min - won mini - 2nd in the main - had some bd bt5s as well - lost k 10 vs Q 10 for JP . I,ll never moan about a bad beat again

good to see this has been moved. I was guilty of forgetting you had it in the other section and didn't read it too often but always caught up on it when I remembered.
good luck with the rest of it and for when you tackle cash again
Alrite mate just seen the diary very impressive to start from 40 quid and get the bankroll you have now, I did a similar thing when I started on sky only depositing 50!
Just wondering why you dont play any higher games with your roll you could easily play NL20-50 cash and bigger buy in tournaments like the main events?
I also managed to get some royal mail shares, they've almost doubled in value now if youhavent checked? Best investment ive made in a while!!
Ended up playing a cpl of hours last night after waking up and couldn,t sleep
Played 2 x NL10 and 1 x 8NL Wasnt to bad but finished off a buy in down. Got some good notes made but still felt at times i was playing better players than myself and din,t feel that confident. Having said that i do think i play better when i,ve been playing a while with the same players. I started to play more player dependant than just the same old thing or ABC. There was a cpl of hands i wanted to post but should have done it last night as i,m struggling to find them.
This one below was the biggest losing pot of the session which i,m not sure i could have got away from. He was new to the table and and i was readless, but the speed of his bets did get me thinking he had an overpair as well. If he,d been bluffing with AK or AQ maybe he would have taken a little longer to think it through. Or are we going bust all the time here ?
@ Craiccu12 I noticed you made the made the step up and seem to be going ok from your diary . Hopefully won,t see you around to often as i need to improve on my table selection as well instead off just jumping into games. GL with it m8
@Tintin cheers m8. I,ll hopefully get some tips of your diary as i know you,ve been playing sthe same levels as myself for quite a while now and still crushing them
@ Bighawk. thx. i knew that question would be asked sooner or later as i have been playing well within my role and am a nit when it comes to BRM but at least i,ll never go skint. If i ever got down to say around 1k i,d have to have a serious look at my game and wonder "is it worth carrying on". With the cash i,m just not ready to play at higher stakes as i,m simply not good enough and with the tourneys i find it difficult paying £30 or £50 into a game when i know i can satelite in for a fraction of the cost. Plus my record in £50 Bh,s is pretty awful. I,ll always be a BR nit but i could probably do with playing a few more tourneys at above £5 level. (Having said that i,m playing 2 now - both freerolls -lol)
I,ve been playing these freerolls for over a week and haven,t had a cash yet and just bust in one as i write this. They are the 60 min timed ones. Will be playing for at least a cpl of hours tonight so will update later
Thx again for the messages
EDIT : Finally - After about 15 attempts w/o a cash in the 60 min timed freerolls got a small cash for 80p. Just a shame i lost a cpl of big pots in last 6 minutes but still it brks the run of losses
Hi MP33 SO NICE TO SEE YOU MOVED ONTO POKER CHAT,ABOUT TIME MY FRIEND,:):):)XXXX Posted by paige55
Cheers Paige. I,m not normally supersticious but think it might have cursed my results
Got off to a nightmare start tonight and i can,t even blame it on bad luck. just bad play all round ( still in the £2.40 sat)
EDIT : Can,t seem to copy and paste under the results at the botton of post but got knocked out of the £2.40 satelite so think its time for a brk while i watch MOTD. got a cpl of quid back on the games below but will start a fresh ina bit (Just witnessed a gr8 comeback by someone in the £3 DYM - from 68 chips to about 5k)
EDIT : Came back after watching MOTD and started by playing 3 cash tables at NL8 . At one point i was up on all 3 and the tables but i ended up losing most the one where i was just over 1 buy in up and i should have left as the table emptied and i ended up HU against a guy with about half a buy in. I played a cpl of hands and was about to leave the table when i noticed he,d been constantly slating my play in the chat box. Its normally water offa ducks back to me but on this occasion i decided to carry on and try take his remaining stack. Big mistake. Lost about 3 - 4buy ins against him. I did get in all in with AA vs A 10 and AQ vs KJ for stacks but he managed to outdraw me each time. HU is not a strong point of mine and i will certainly learn from this mistake not to let anything in the chat affect me again. Luckily the other games went well and despite this i managed to finsish in profit for the session and got back some of the £30 i lost in 1st session I,ve just realised i,m only 13 points off 300 so may as well carry on for 300 for entry to the freeroll tommrow night for a PS4
= - £11.93 (inc the 80p from freerolls)
EDIT - Now 6.20am and carried on playing on Nl10 and had a dabble on Nl20 where i was a cpl of buy ins down until i hit a nut flush on the river and the other guy had hit the king high flush . also had quads twice tonight but still finished £9 down although looking back it could have been a lot worse. Can,t even fir all the results on as i played acpl of £3 DYM,s and 1 or 2 £2 tourneys) Need to start getting some black figures on the board tho
