blinds at 25/50 Im on the button and pick up KK and 3x it, he is the big blind and re raises to 350 so i call. flop comes 9 4 2, theres 725 in the pot and i have around 1000 chips left he puts in a small raise of 200 and i jam on him. he folds, and spend the rest of the game telling everyone how much money ive lost quoting my sharkscope stats (which by the way i dont care about as im open and honest about them anyway and if people are seeing them and thinking im a bad player well i guess thats a good thing as i have improved alot since then) he also tells me how much of a donkey/fish i am. well 5/6 hands later i knock him out of the game AQ vs QJ aipf. after that though we played a few more times and the abuse ofcourse continued and i think it threw me of my game a little, i was trying to get one over on him to shut him up rather than concentrating on my own game which has been very good over the last few days and it affected my results a little. lesson learnt (although he didnt cash in any of the games either so justice was done)
I try and be chatty and friendly to everyone i sit at a table with and im sure the people i play with regularly will agree with that, but when people like him are sat at the table with me i cant help but give them abit of stick back, i just hate people that are rude and arrogant with little reason to be so.
anyway to my results and like i said another plus day not as much as id of liked but its another step in the right direction.
yesterdays results werent so good, but going through the historys of the games im struggling to see what i could of done different in most of my out hands, i played 10 games and lost 7, 5 of my outs i believe were geniune coolers, with 2x full house vs quads, 2 x sets vs rivered flushes (where the moeny went in on the flop) and 1 flopped top 2 pair vs bottom set, the two pair one i may have been ableto get away with vs a reg, but it was someone that i have played a few times and often goes all in with mid pair and worse. the other two game were quite standard bubbles when i got abit short and had to start shoving wider ranges and ran into better hands, it happens and ill move on
But until then im going to go have some dinner then come back tomnight ready to win 1 of the 3 DTD games, im not fussy which.
Had an awful day at work today due to my boss' boss being a bit of a moron over what can be described as the pettiest of things (one of the things was we have a phone with caller recognition and when he phones up his name pops up on the phone, so when i answered it i said "hello mark, how are you" to which i recieved a foul mouthed rant at how he had asked my boss to remove his name from the phone and that i should be answering the phone in a specific way each time, comepletely pathetic and unreasonable) then a couple more incidents happened which resulted in me spending an extra 3/4 hours at ork trying to fix a fairly serious situation tht quite frankly i shouldnt have been dealing with but people in positions above me werent there so instead of skirking responsibilty i rung them to let them know what was happening and procedded to deal with it as best as i could while doing my actual job along side. this brought on another foul mouthed rant.
So tommorow the job hunt starts, i enjoy my job and most the people i work with, but to o what i do with mostly no recognition isnt rewarding in any other way than being payed (which ofcourse is the most important thing and im very grateful for it) but ive been there 6 years now and a new challange is definitely needed. so tikay if your readin this and want to put in a good word ill pm you a copy of my CV i figure if you can have richard orford present a show on poker you can just about give the job to anyone
was very hit and miss yesterday but after an overall good week leading up to it a -£15 days wasnt going to be anythign to tilt me or effect me in ways that it may have done before i played 34 Dym wining 17 and losing 17. had abit of a hard time playing my big pocket pairs, every time i got QQ and id raise 3/4x id still end up with 2/3 callers and the flop would come AKx and then id struggle to figure out where i was (although in this spot id say im probably behind 90% of the time) and then my KK and AA weere coming up agaisnt straight draws flush draws or both and i think i let myself think they had those hands to many times and got paranoid and folded after investing alot into the pots, althought the times i did decided to go with it they had the straight/flush in question, but thats just poker sometimes. i also played tjr mini turbo BH but that flopped completely despite getting off to a very good start and getting a very early triple up to around 9k chips (although i got no head prizes for this).

I'm reading Bro, I'm-a-reading.
I mean, if Orford can, anyone can, right?
PS - Congrats on 100 Posts.
since my nice satelittle win a couple of days ago ive only managed to play 13 games but won 9 of them for a tidy profit, gradually getting towards the 50 BI's for £5.50 dyms, still not to sure about moving completely up to them so will probably go back down to 2 tables at first and see how it goes to start, maybe play some £3.30 along side them.
Looking to get a lot more game in second half of the month as i have a bit more spare time and a better work schedule, and who knows i might even be able to break through the £300 barrier
played a couple of bonuty hunters again and had poor results with only 1 head from 2 games, but made up for it in some HUSNG's which i tend to have fairly good results in.
but the dym results were much improved
edit.. i meant to say i did this by playnig russian roulettes
With only 1 days left of the current promo i have given up on the freerolls, instead my aim for tommorow is to reach 3000 points, a massive task but as the family are away, and ive got nothing planned except watching football im going to give it a good shot, by my workings out i need to play 133 £3.30 dyms or 81 £5 dyms so im probably going to move up and play the £5 games tomorow. may even throw in some hyper HU games as i do pretty well in them and they are alot quicker.
yesterdays £3.30 results and end of month profit.
Marchs goals, have a very busy month again this month, including a week away up to sunderland to visit some family (which will also include playing the forum DTD game in newcastle looking forward to meeting some of you) so im not going to get any where near the amount of games i did this month in so im going to set myself a more conservative target of 250 games this month but with aroud half of these being at the £5 level instead of the £3 level, im very confident that if needed i can go back down to the £3 games and build up my roll again should it take a dent, so i want to give myself a decent run of games in the £5 level to get to play people and take notes on them, allow for vairence etc to see whether i can make a profit at the £5 level or whether i need to work on my game some more before this is realistic, so with my br at £256 before the C4P bnous, im gonna say that i'll play £5 game but if i drop to £200 then ill move back down to the £3 games until im back to 250. so not allowing myself to drop below 40 BI's. hopefully this wont be the case but its best plan for the worst.
wish you all the best of luck for march! see you at the tables

I finished the session with only 1 loss from my last ten games which helped me to end the day in profit, i believe this is the ast time ive ever had 3 profitable days in a row, and to do it just after moving up stakes feels good.
i Somehow managed to reg for a £3.30 DYM at some point during the day although how i have no idea must have been a series of misclicks, however i went on to csh in it, then used the winnings of the game to enter a 2.30 BH in which i went out first hand, with.. you guessed it AA AIPF vs JJ, not to fussed about it, although i really do want to start working on my MTT game and doing better in these, its not my poker priority at the moment, i think that will come when i finally get my sharkscope back into the green

Well done Bus Bloke.
Love the way you are patiently increasing your bankroll in those DYM's.
As you may know, I've been doing the same thing for 18 months now, & it's the most fun I've ever had in poker.
Every night I begin full of hope & optimism, & some days it goes well, others days, not so much. It seems impossible to have a nice, smooth, upward graph, but if we do the right things, it does, gradually, relentlessly head north. Or that's the theory......
Next stop £400, woo-woo.
