well on a high still from last night with a slightly sore head as enjoyed most of a bottle of jim beam along with the roller last night... nerves
very happy with how deep I went and would love to have got deeper, but a great achievement for me to get 14th I think anyway.
having got in I was saying to myself just play your game, last time I got in I had a bad run of cards but should have played better on my part.
cards where good too me last night, ill post a few hands here, hitting lots of sets which is always nice 44 especially good too me, dealt twice in a row, and set on the flop with each... miby the reason for my exit hand aswell
starting with, I should have shoved pre I think, I just called hoping too see a flop even though I knew if the bb shoved I was calling. and was lucky too hit here.
hada double up with KK not long after this too. then another pot with 100 vs 77 which held. having not played many hands came across this one here, which again I knew I should have folded but called it off.
then this one
then this was the killer I think but not the exit hand, I could've waited I suppose for something better or try too ladder a bit, but as I said 44 had been great too me so far so why not.......THIS IS WHY!!!

all in all a great night of poker and loved every minute of it, and hopefully get deep in some more tournaments soon.

I'd suggest to try and eliminate open limping from your game though...
noted. about the limpin
it is a leak im trying too fix.... but harder than it seems
2 sats
3 dtd.s
the main
the mini,
I cashed and got to FT in DTD 1 for
Chris_Mc06£17.82
also got in the main through an all in sat and won an all sat after do another £33 in the br.
br £490
points 397
sat at two tables of 20nl and left with about a £20 profit, had some nice hands which I got paid in a few but wp too waller, seemed too have good read on me and kept out of trouble. apart from one hand where he was unlucky but lost absolute minimum I think . wp waller02 enjoyed it at the tables
not sure that's a good thing but im fairly ABC on the cash table. ... I think
having done this though I've managed too achieve over the £500 mark on my BR.
so happy with that
gl all,
You played really well during the hour though, a right ballache!
Congrats on reaching the £500 mark, it's a great platform to really push on now and I'm sure you will go from strength to strength.
So had a fantastic month so far,
having built my roll too over £500, I'm very happy, I'm not going too withdraw this as I do not need too, I'm pretty stable financially wise, no debts, no house though either as I'm saving for a deposit for a mortgage, but my family and I have very little outgoings allowing me too save quite a bit monthly.
having built this BR I now find myself worried about losing it, just a month ago I was happy to be over £100, then £200, then the aim was to be over £300, now suddenly smashing my target I don't want too drop lower, I see my BR as having £4 because I don't want too drop below the £5oo mark...... this cant be good, I don't want too be scared of play or stop what I'm doing.
is this just me??????? anyone else been in this position????
I feel I'm playing reasonably well and having some positive feedback from some regs' on the site, which is great and boosts my own confidence, I seem too be worrying about a bit of run bad which is inevitable it is poker and it happens,
what steps do I take too overcome this.
thanks and gl everyone
i had a similar problem after a downswing a few months back. i dropped below a certain milestone that it had took me a while to reach. it was really bugging me so i deposited to take me back over the milestone insta snapped into a monster upswing and withdrew my deposit the next day, damage repaired.
you cannot take ownership of your roll in this way as it really hinders progress in a number of ways:
you decrease volume
change to a low variance style that may not work
downswings really affect you
when the inevitable downswing hits, forget your old bankroll: it's gone. just concentrate on growing like you did the last time you were at that figure.
if you defo cant get over the attachment to the £500 milestone then one practical step would be to withdraw say £150 and concentrate on grinding back to £500. you know how to grind a £350 roll. so prove to yourself you can do it again. if you want to move up a few levels then you can always reposit the £150 and you then have a nice £650 roll to attack the next stage of your devolopment.
the best thing is to try and let got of this irrational attachment to the £500 figure. dont worry about short-term fluctuations and focus on playing well and your overall trend.
good luck.
Thank you all for your advice,
I wont be opening another bank account though dagg, but is an idea for the future,
Thank you as well, teddy for taking the time to get back too me,
I think I'm going too play through and not get caught up in what I have, as long as I continue too play the way I have been I'm hoping too increase further,
I have withdrew most of my BR,
a few reasons for this,
we are saving for a mortgage, were going on holiday next month and would be nice for some extra spending money.
just incase things don't go as planned and lose it, want too take it easy for a while with the poker,
will still be playing, left myself with £40
I regged for a few tourneys tonight, a few all in sats,,,, fingers crossed, tomorrows main event and the fosp tourney
will still be posting on my diary, and the daily link hopefully, and just going too try and build what I have left in again over time.

withdrew my BR a few months back because the wife and I are saving for our own house ... finally a light at the end of the tunnel and found the home for us.
move in date is the 12th of December and hopefully get back too playing on a more regular basis from this date. miss the site and miss playing, seemed too be doing quite well until things happened, things have seemed too sort out for the best though and we will now have our own home which is ours a no one else's.
new chapter in our life and hopefully soon more sky poker !!!! just a bit tight at the minute
well hope you have all been well and running good and hope too be back myself for some games,
gl all!!!
and miby get the daily link back aswell... although not been very daily TBH
how have you all been?
starting now hopefully be back at the tables for a bit, going too deposit a small amount for now and see if I can build on that for the time being. starting with £10 going too play some STT'S and see how I get on.
any advice on which approach I should take would be fine and appreciated.
fairly confident in my game I will be staying clear of 3.30 and definitely 5.50 DYM's although would be my preferred choice of game. going too have a few just now and see how I go.
Great Grammar to ..... (too) lol

The final table of DTD1 I feel I should have got away immediately from hand which ended me
and tonight the FOSP tourney again a massive error and should've got away from that as well.
I feel im playing ok... surly I must be if im making it deep in mtts, or is it luck? I know where im going wrong most times but it seems hard too fix although it really shouldn't be.
im calling off hands when its pretty much a certainty im behind, but a little voice creeps in and says go for it. I feel I really should not be making these mistakes this late on in mtt's and is costing me greatly.
this hand was the dtd 1 FT. why did I do this? there was no need what so ever!!!
This one is from tonight in the FOSP game, again i feel i should be making the FT HERE BUT GO AND DO THIS?
WHY AM I DOING THIS LATE ON???
