MY DEEPSTACK DIARY RAINMAN397

edited May 2014 in Poker Chat
Good afternoon all.
I have been playing deepstack for quite a while now and have improved my game, although i class myself as  a well below average player, who gets lucky now and again.
I work nights at nestles coffee factory but it is closing down and will be made redundant on may 23rd, so am going to try improve my game by doing  a diary and ask anyone interested to give me any advice how to improve my game.
Will be playing the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack most days and any low stakes deepstack in evening when have nights off.
I have been playing poker for 3 years now and have lost over £1500, so i am going to try and get that below  £1000  by end of year.
All the best

    Best of luck with this RM. Sorry to hear about your impending redundancy. Please don't play with more than you can comfortably lose.

    Here is a small deep stack guide I did ages ago. I am no expert, but there are a few tips on this thread.

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    Sorry to hear that Rainman. It's not a nice thing to happen as I know.

    Regards to your poker challenge this series of videos may be of help. It starts off very basic but it's a decent series if you have the time. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF5615BAC92B3CDFE

    Hi Rainman, 

    very sorry to hear about your redundancy.

    one thing i find very useful - I post hands where I wasn't sure what to do to my coach, who analyses them for me. 

    If you try to pick 1 hand per deepstack that you werent sure about, and post it on here, we as a community can help you to slowly reduce the number of times you arent sure what to do in a tournament. Dont worry about posting hands where you think you have completely messed up - they can often be the ones where you learn the most.

    GL with your diary and reaching your goal! maybe you can even earn a few ££ and reduce the financial strain of your redundancy.

    Sorry to hear about your job rainman, all the best with getting something else.

    I have played you quite a lot, and you have a good game.

    If you are playing in the evening, the 7:15 and 7:45 are fantastic games for £3.30 total. Also if you are playing in the evening decinatly worth while playing the freeroll.

    No doubt you will make your £500 by the end of the year.

    Good luck with the challenge!

     Hi Rainman, I want to wish you the very best of luck in finding work soon rainman. Try the £1.10 Deepsake at 7.45 as this will help your bankroll and if you cash then play your afternoon one which is your fav. Mind ive I have only been playing poker for a year so your have every right to ignore my advice lol. May lady luck be kind to you. 
       Patience is the biggest thing ive learnt on the deepstack ,hope this helps.  Yours truly56   p.s( Be lucky at the tables)
