    Frequent reader, first time posting - the updates on your BR are just immense, every time I see this thread there seems to have been another big jump up #DuckMode

    You must be in at a fairly large buy in level for cash, like NL50 or higher... how do you find the standard at that level relative to the bigger buy in tournaments (£20+) that you regularly play?  Allowing for the fact that it looks like either discipline is easy pickings at the moment :)

    Hey Luv,
    I'm not sure really... but I play one table at a time, occassionally two, never three... I need maximum concentration!
    At the moment I don't work mondays so I generally play a fair bit from around 8am - 5pm Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays (unless I'm doing something obv!). I very rarely play in the evening or night, just the odd occassion when I'm home alone. I can't teach if I've been playing poker at night or don't go to bed fairly early, as poker and teaching both take alot of brain power so I don't like to play too late, plus I also teach 2 or 3 nights a week!
    I finish early Thursday and Friday at the moment so get to play for a few hours from about 3pm those days...
    It all depends on my work timetable.

    Tighten up Pickle...we need you on that leaderboard! :)

    Hey Shakey,
    Thankyou very much for your message! Loving #DuckMode haha!! I've been very fortunate these last two months :) I think having a real bankroll has really helped and not depositing and withdrawing willy nilly.
    I play 50nl and yesterday it was a Mastercash table so I sat with £100. I'm more comfortable there than the lower levels I don't know why...it could just be a mental thing. When I did the Mastercash spin up challenge I kept failing the first two levels...I just couldn't crack it, but once I got to 50nl I was more comfortable and completed the challenge in one go :)
    It's the same with tourneys, I can really struggle with £3.30 and £5.75 BHs but am very confident at £11 and £22. I'm most confident at £11 DYMs and find £22 ones a real challenge. I think it's all just what you're used to.

    Thanks for stopping by :D

    Hi Chris,
    Yep I started with £50 on 1st April :) I mainly play MTTs. At the beginning I played more DYMs because they are safer and when my BR dips down a bit I play a few DYMs to try and get it back up. Bounty hunter MTTs are my usual game though. I play some cash, but I'm not as confident on the cash tables yet. I really wanted to go from £50 to £250 in April but I got really lucky and got up to almost £800 and May has been amazing so far too :D 
    Good luck to you!!
    Ducky

    A four day hiatus from the blog can only mean one thing...
    A "Ducky Downswing"!!! :*( and there was me thinking I was invincible...

    I've been down, and I've been downer, and I've been quite a bit down, and I've been downerer still...but currently I'm just down.
    Played ALOTLOTLOT of cash...what a beast to try and tame! Things started unravelling slightly on thursday and I decided no Ducky cash this weekend. Then like a poisoned apple from Snow White up pops "50% extra PP happpppy weekend" and I just couldn't stop shoving that juicy apple into my mouth! So many $$$PPs...but a dented BR.

    I've met some really lovely players the last few days. RyanC7 who is always cheery even though I seem to have the run-good switch on when I'm in a hand against him. CEGOW who always says NH Ducky...when I erm have a nice hand! SR23 who said he was really enjoying my diary and last but not least Bossman91 who also said he was enjoying my diary and remained a true gent even after I stacked him with a massively questionnable hand that lucked out on the river (2h4h).

    Anyway gonna play a bit more cash today as it's still Happy Dayzzz

    The damage (with quite a big recovery...)

    Wow, a Ducky downswing, didn't see that coming....

    Loving the cheeriness despite the recent losses, a few people (me very much included) could do with facing the adversities of variance with the same sunny disposition you display. Don't go chasing those reward points toooo hard, I've been there myself and have ended up barely covering my losses with the extra £££ I 'd earned through grinding.

    Quick Q:- How and when did you get into online poker and how would you say you have improved yourself as a player?? I'm guessing you've watched a lot of the televised Highstakes poker back in the good old days cos some of your moves are straight out of the Dwan, Elezra, Ivey handbooks. (That's a compliment btw ;) ).
