Played a 3 £11 MTTs at the weekend. (bad br management) Didn't do anything. Crazy bingo poker (Friday Saturday night late on).
Won £7.80 in a £50 timed. And won £7 in a speed BH. Also finished 3rd today in£150 BH and a couple of heads for £8.74
Due to the 4k freeroll triple thingy promotion ive been playing a bit more cash to get some PP's as I don't play high volume MTT's (or cash) I seem to get more point playing cash 10p/20p.
Trying to get 1000 points to qualify for the 1st one. Currently got 160.
The cash has been up and down. Was £86 profit after 3 session but then lost 3 £20 buy ins in my next 2 sessions. Rivered a straight on a paired board and ran into the full house, and the same player raised me after I 3bet KK pre on a 967 board I shoved over his cbet (very agro player) and he showed 55. 8 on the river. Standard.
Lost £11.72 as well today.
So in total after playing fri and sat night plus sunday daytime and today I am a MAAAAAAAASIVE £4.82 up.
£420.96
Entered the £150 bh. Finished nowhere but got 2 heads so it only cost £1.04p
£300 bh. Ran very well, played well. Got it in behind a couple of times but with good equity (had open ended straight plus nut fl draw and KQ spades vs AK off on a K high board with 2 spades- hit fl).
Managed to take it down. Finished 1st for £61.27 and took 5 heads for £25.71.
Total profit for tourney £81.23
Happy days. First take down since the start of the diary.
br £502.19
WELL PLAYED SHAUN..
NOW GET ON A RUN
Again, thanks for the diary railing mate. Nice to know somebody is reading it.
no worries,
I'm sure many more do pop in for a read but don't always post.
anyway, don't you worry about that, just concentrate on doing the right things on the poker tables, and I'm sure you will be fine.
good luck mate,
dev
Me raising the flop does make it likely I've got a better hand than you but that's not surprising because at the moment you have 9-high. I'd prefer to check to the aggressor (me), let me bet, and then raise, cos then you can get me to fold all the hands I'd cbet like AQ/AJ/AT/QJ/QT/Q9 to name a few.
just keep at it and good luck on the tables.
In other news donked off some money on the cash tables but won most of it back. Gonna post a few hands and see what people think of my play. I'll update my bankroll later as i've got C4P to take out but also gonna take some money out for holiday at end of Feb
I'm up to 258 points this month so far, so hopefully on course for the 4k freeroll.
Over played my hands a bit????
Ok. So I've adapted my BR.
After 6 cash sessions at 10/20p I am £20.71 down. (not bad considering I just left a table £45 up!!! so was £65 down at one point!!) Plus a BH buying for $5.75 with no joy.
I got £7.21 C4P
However I've withdrawn some money to pay for a holiday so currently my BR stands at £271.56
With a balance of £75.73 profit since I started my diary. Not including the C4P as they were part earned before I started my diary, however I will include these in future.
Well. Been playing cash 10p/20p (or 20NL. Is that what the kids call it these days???) Very up and down. I lose £10-£20 then win it back and do it again!! I think I might post a session or some typical hands in the clinic to see if I can spot my weakness'.
Even though it blew my BR management I entered the Main and Mini tonight. Was running really well in both. Got short stacked in the mini and exited with A10s vs AKo after we both flopped an Ace. But took 4 heads for a little profit and a 68th place finish.
The Main I took a horrendous beat (see BBV) AQo vs AQo for 74th. but again I took heads (3) which gave me some profit.
So really I shouldn't have entered the Main as it was over 10% of my current BR but luckily I got the heads to cover myself.
BR currently £286.31 so still going in the right direction and got 441 C4P to boot.
Entered the £150 BH and busted early. Currently in the £300BH 19/40 with a 4k stack. (will update later just bored lol)
BR £296.15 C4P 543
Only took 1 head so total profit £21.90
Shout out to mrsduck. Im pretty sure she took the £500BH down. I railed her till final 2 where she had a chip lead of about 5/6:1
In my opinion you played very well. Patient at first, let the game play, picked your spots and took it down (I think lol)
Well done
£313.80 c4p 551
This put me on tilt a bit and I entered the £500 BH with a buy in of £22 (silly boy) got it in good but didn't last long!!!
DYM's on the other hand have been my friend (a bit). Including my results in my previous post I have now played 15 DYM's in total and cashed in 10. Although 2 of the ones I didn't cash in were £3.30. The rest were at the £5.50 level. So this has absorbed the damage done by me being a moron!!
DYM wise I am going to try keep track of games/profit as I do like the points boost it gives for the 4k freeroll.
13 x £5.50 = £71.5 + 2 x £3.30= £6.60 Total buy ins £78.10 So 10 £10 victories is £100. Therefore £21.9 profit from DYM's.
BR £299.84 C4P 615
Just really didn't want to bubble!!
I enjoyed watching you too
Just a little update 3/4 cashed £5.50 DYM's in a mini session.
DYM total 13 from 19.
BR £307.84 C4P 635
Brings my DYM stats to 18/25
BR £324.84 C4P 665
Just a quick update to keep track of my DYM's.
Played 5 cashed 2/5
Due to Jac35's advice (whilst not wanting to upset Tikay, man of his age and all that lol) I will refer too C4P as RP. Also 1 less character to type
BR £317.34

DYM 20/28
Entered £150 and £300 BH. Took 1 head in £300 but finished nowhere. Took 2 heads in £150 and finished 5th. Unlucky really. Was very short stacked and got it in 3 way with A10 suited vs 98off (who I had covered so would have got head) and A7off. He hit his 7 and that was me! I made enough in the £150 to cover both tourneys with a couple of quid profit.
Played quite well in both BH's. Will be having a punt at the main and mini tonight.
My DYM strategy seem to be working quite well. I only needed luck a couple of time (QQ VS KK hit my Q. Won a couple of flips with AK.) However ive had a couple of flushes hit against me and ran into AA a few times when trying to steal, so overall so far its pretty balanced. Considering you have to win 55% to break even they are a bit of a false advertisement, however im at 75% at the minute. But it doesn't take many losses at first to really hurt your figures/profitability. I do enjoy them to a point. They can teach tricky stack size play, or give a good indication of what people shove/call with when short stacked. I don't think I could grind them for hours on end. I usually play short bursts 4/6/8 games or so.

DYM 24/32
Tried to satellite into 10k BH -£3.60, bought in after that.
Mini, played well buuuuut My fh ran into quads, when I got short stacked I got it in with top pair and flush draw got called by 2nd pair who hit trips on the turn grrrrrr. no heads.
The 10k went much better. Played really well. Built a nice stack up to 9k and took a couple of heads in the first couple of hours. Made a massive fold on the bubble (see poker clinic-lemme know what you think) and also made a big fold once we were in the money
The plan was to get to show down as cheap as possible as the 3 way pot was obviously dodgy.
When I needed a bit of luck I got it
I built on this and played some nice poker, also hit cards when I needed to.
I got very lucky when I called down to hit a 4flush to inflate my stack when I needed it.
Unfortunately my luck ran out when I raised the button with 88. Got shoved on from the bb and decided to call as I had around 20bb left. Ran into QQ for an 8th place finish with 2 heads. Nice bit of profit
£147.29 to be precise. So I have a 3rd and an 8th ME place in my glittering career lol.

Today is a new day though. My mind is back where it should be. Despite losing another dym this morning I am currently in the £150 bh with a few heads and 8/14. I will be in the £300 at 11.30am and update after.
One of the reasons I made this diary was to keep myself in check. Usually when I have a nice result (like Monday 8th in the main woop woop) I tend to donk some of it off after. True to form I did that last night. Never again though. I certainly wont touch a capped table again, nor think I can just sit at a dym and expect to cash.

*EDIT*
Squeezed 4 DYM'S in. cashed in 2. not great but breaks my losing streak (sort of )

Just out of interest, what would be considered a good ROI for dym's? Given the rake. Would any of the dym regs care to shar there stats? or roi? Im only 50 games in but currently running at 62% cashing. 7% profit. (I think that how it works)
Then in another dym in thought I was home n dry when it all went in pre my KJ vs A2 I hit my king on the flop but the ace on the river ensured the best hand pre won.
Overall today my stats are 3/5. Although it should have been 4/5 lol.

DYM 34/55
If you had 7% ROI on DYM's over a large sample size, given the rake, it would pretty impressive.
Just seen your diary, impressive jump in bankroll in the last week or so.
Is it mostly MTT's you play?
