    Watch your pockets in Barcelona!

    Saw City get beat in Dortmund a couple of years ago. Amazing stadium! That stand behind the goal is huuuuge.

    Hey mate – I just realised I was sitting to your direct right on a cash table at DTD one night last week for a couple of hours. It’s a pity I didn’t figure it out until now. We were never involved in any big pots together, so no hard feelings ;)

     

    Good luck with your trials.

    That was a great gane to catch Timmy.  The little genius at it again.

    Were you over for birthday/stag?  How was it for going out?  I'm bust organising a stag do and had thought about Barcelona.  How did you get footy tickets?


  • edited March 2015
    Hi all im back well I was back Monday bout 6.00pm but its took me till now to recover and im still not 100% lol.
    Barcelona was amazing would defiantly recommend it it wasn't anyone's bday or stag we try and have a lads footy trip once a year last year was Dortmund. So relaxed out there in barca so many nice small bars no locals hassle you to come in which I like they've also got 4 amazing nite clubs which are near the beach and a really big casino which had 2 floors and a nice size poker room with cash and tourneys running. We went to the nou camp to look round the museum which was nice but then went to watch barca the next day which was amazing 6-1 and a Messi hat trick we also see Neymar walking outside the stadium with no minder taking photo's. Overall was a really nice break and I defiantly could see myself going out there next year for a nice poker trip and watch Barca again.
    Now back to reality and ready to Grind.

    Hi all
    so 1st 2days have been nice and solid very happy with it.
    Dym's have gone very smooth mainly just grinded £11-£22 games as £55 games not been running much. Had a go at the main and mini + sat for main and £3k BH. Main went really well Matt bates told me to get this in I think maybe 16 players left I limp from sb with 88 with 12-15bb BATES shoves bb with maybe over 30bb top5 stack at the time he shows A6 I SNAP..... Flop A ** turn 8 blank river. We made the FT 2nd in chips I think only 1 short stack 10mins in stacks were so even I find JJ UTG I min with 15 bigs BB jams with QQ I call no J down to 1 BB out 2 hands later. Min cashed the Mini and no seats for SATS. Feel good 2day thou to record a FT so just gonna grind dyms 2day and 2nite but weve got the Vegas Freeroll 2morrow and then a big sunday with the Roller and Sunday Million.
    Good luck with your grinds 2day people.

    Well done on your recent final tables they was always around the corner, and for your next trick you going to win one?? 
    Barcelona is an amazing place! Everything about it I would highly recommend it for a very good weekend away. I noticed you mentioned about not being hassled by any locals Tim.......

    I can vaguely remember a couple of locals really hassling you and getting you to part with some cash??.....

    I believe we got the tickets from viagogo donttelmum

    Hi Kgee great being on your table last night hope to see you soon on the 5.50s.

    Timmy how do you cope with bad swings. I did really well at 5.50 dyms a while back then hit a very bad run. i dropped to 3.30s and really going well at them but everytime i try and step up its goes wrong again.

    Is it because i only try one or two then if i lose them i move back to 3s. Should i try like 10 in a row or something.

    Loving the diary as dyms are the main game i play to. Dunno if you remember but i played with you on a couple of table when i was completing the DYM challenge.

    Hi all hope everyone had a good weekend?
    So 2 + days of dym and my 1st losing session on them this month yesterday.
    Saturday I had the vegas freeroll sadly no cash or in the Main but managed another FT 2nd of the week coming 3rd in the Mini. Yesterday i know it could be a good big + day or a big - day as i was gonna be playing the Roller and the Sunday Million as it was there Anniversary for that tourney $9m Guarantee. Chilled out watching the footy while playing some SATS on Laptop massive win for Man U loved that i used some of my VVP's on stars for 20player sng 4 got seats i came 5th bad times so had to buy in for $215 started at 6.30 3 hours in losted half my stack with JJ vs KK and couldn't really recover. Played a few SATS for Roller bricked everyone and a couple for other BH tourneys but managed to min cash straight after bubble Ak 15 bigs ran into KK flop K high but was happy to get 1st cash in Roller for a while.
    My plan for this week is to grind Dym's very hard i want to earn 12k points by next week. Loads of big HU players are playing big volume so don't think ive got a chance for vegas seat but i want the points so will still grind hard anyway.

    Hi stuarty117 so many Dym players but your name does ring a bell. Hope your well ?
    Kgee was round mine the other month for abit of coaching and he asked bout dealing with
    downswings.
    Yeah im not gonna lie don't like losing but its gonna happen and it will happen a lot so we have to deal with it well. 
    My advice is always simple as long as i feel im playing well im always in a good place if i lose a few i will reduce the amount of tables im playing. if i do feel im tilting abit i will have a break punish myself by doing some sit ups lol or just go and have a word with the family for a bit then when im ready get back to it. As u see i started staking Kgee and i gave him a £1k roll and hes grinding the £5 games + some £2-£11 tourneys so his roll is never under pressure because hes got so many buyins and im coaching him lol. I think u should defiantly play bout 10 when u take the step up anyone can lose up to 2-5 and it not being there fault. Soz if my advice is abit simple but i hope it helps abit.

    Hi timmy

    Sounds like good advice. I was playing 4 tables but now i only play 2 and my winrate has increased alot. 

    Is 100 Buyins too nitty. I have been thinking of giving it a good go perhaps from september and move up the stakes and not withdraw.
  • edited March 2015
    Yeah 100 buyins is pretty nitty for part time playe but Kgee is just get used to be playing under me at the min hes doing well at £5's by the end of the year be nice to see him playing £20's.
    Yeah write down some bankroll rules and move up and down when u have to.

    hi stu, sorry to jump in, from a completely selfish point of view, no dont move to the £5's its really hard and they will crush you ;)

    from a realistic point of view you've defiantly got more than good enough game to make a very good profit at the £5 level and probably at higher levels, if your going to stick with playing 2 tables then i think 100 BI's is to nitty 50 should be more than plenty, and you definitely need to give yourself between a 10-20 game  start before moving back down to the £3's although im very confident you wont have to :)

    Hi all so 2 - days on Dym's Tuesday's session kind of knocked abit of confidence out of me grinded hard but couldn't squeeze a profit out of them. Last nite finished bout 30th in the main. Last nite kgee the only horse I have at the minute had a quality result last nite taking down the Mini he hasn't had the chance to play loads this month but still on course for a nice month. The plan this weekend for me and Kgee was to go and play the tourney in Newcastle with all the Sky players but sadly we cant make it now were both gutted. I hope they have amazing weekend and hopefully there is many more to come.

My tourneys managed a FT of the Priority Freeroll coming 6th for £126 and also played few events in the stars micro millions but sadly no cash. Gonna grind hard 2day while watching the EPT live stream and then gonna watch Lambert on twitch.

    Enjoying this diary; keep up the fine work. Very solid March indeed. Oh, and (thin brag) thanks for railing me in the VLV Leaerboard FT a couple of weeks ago. At least I think it was you. I was off my face.
