Hand History #931916099 (21:07 29/07/2015)
Busted main with a poor call - had dwindled chips playing a few too many marginals too strongly and missing everything and then either running into hands or getting pushed off pots too easily.
Hit AA and AKs in consecutive UTG+1, UTG hands but only got minimal action for a small recovery before the rot set back in.
Down to £2k ish and manage to get a turn all-in air bluff through and then a few hands later called a shove on a AsJs8sx board with KQs. Their A9 meant I was drawing only to spades and tens the 9 was gn gg. Opponent had been very active and hitting everything and also shown bluffs but probably still the wrong spot.
Mini was just a standard AQ < AK (well not so standard deep enough not to have called my stack off with AQ just wasn't feeling it tonight.
1st hand of the night was AQ too - on the button - UTG+1 minraises I 3bet around pot and they jam on me.Maybe if I had gambled there things could have been different but I figures as this was a main and not a 2.30 speed BH I was unlikely to be in good shape and wished I had called with position and not left myself open.
Jumped back on a spinup table to claw myself back over the £200 mark which had been achieved earlier in the day so all is not bad (unless you are an aussie cricket fan)
Hi Shaki the run has ended. Won 8th then hit my 1st bad session at 50nl down just under £30 which is naughty as I am supposed to sticking to a 5BI stop loss. Some bad beats which are inevitable especially when in 60/40 ahead alot its easy to face a run of 40's winning. Also took a big dint with a set losing to flush post flop.
The 20nl session at lunch was tough too, 1st losing session there for a while (stopped a run of 10 wins actually).
So dipped well back below the £200.
Took a break and came back and made some ground back up.
This happened which was nice, kind of killed the action on the table though...

Sure it wasnt funny for the opponent - this was another hand where I was intending to check the sit out next BB box and the betting buttons popped up at the wrong (turns out to be right) time. Suited twos are clearly the nuts.

I was called and was amazed to find myself ahead of a 56 that I dont think even had a gutshot. My T high survived the sweat on the river.
However too early in the week to sit down and work it out - never really understood rake on cash - at least it's all transparent in my usual SNGs. Perhaps I should take note now that I am becoming a cash grinder?
AJS also seems to think the spinup game is unbeatable with this rake.
Early days on my latest flirtation with cash - started better than any previous attempt though.
Always a good read Phantom, all the best at the tables.
Clocked up another £3 from a rewards FR yesterday. Was comfortably above avg stack for most of the game until the blinds started to bite and on about avg @10BB. Shoved 44 into AQ for a big loss and then gg gn shortly after on another flip.
Saw a couple of familiar names at tables but unfortunately I was on phone so no chat.
I saw that Tikay notes profit/game - so I thought I would tweak my spreadsheet and see what does it best for me.
Turns out I need to concentrate on PLO dyms as the £3.30 variety is worth £2.70 a game!
Ok so some of you nit-picky statistical maths genii may disagree based on the sample size of 1 but if I ever see another one regging I am going for it.
More generally the best game I have played more than 10 of on this challenge is £1 6max SNGs which are coming it at £1.09/game pretty handy that. Sustainable I doubt it but I reckon on those I can avg over 50p/game on a long run.
Next best is PLO8 £3.30 dyms at 36p/game
Full table below...
Felt a bit of a degen today. Was in "town" (Preston is actually a city and has been since 2002 but still cant get used to saying city and preston in the same sentence. Hopefully next year it will be a Premiership fixture
Anyway had half an hour to kill after dropping an item in a jewellers and being asked to leave it with them for 30 mins (bad planning making that the last stop). So I drop in for a frappe latte and while on my smartphone in my leather chair I decide to pop up a spin up table on my phone to try and make it a free one. Ran golden to be fair and so Boom £12 up when finished.
Now the only other time I have played poker in a public place was when Mrs P was poorly in hospital in Leeds and I started a little diary challenge based on SNGs as a bit of a release from the many stresses of the days. At least one person must have liked the diary or felt sorry for me because I was granted a free seat in a monthly 6max put on for forum contributors. Only trouble was I was visiting Mrs P and on my way back on the M62 when it started.
Nothing for it but to stop off at a motorway services, buy a coffee and play on my laptop via the wifi.
I suppose with smartphones playing in public is a lot easier although it's not something I plan to make a habit of.
Another £4 in the FR today which means I have taken £13.05 already in rewards this week.
Overall though still down for the week - but time to recover and those lovely points for the weekend.
I was mooching about last night and saw someone sat at the £1/£2 SU table with almost 900 quid.....quite the spin up from a crisp £20 note.
I have got into the £30's a few times and either stood or took a dent first.
Week 10 results and the overall Totals
Points chasing. Happy in a way that I met a target I set of 1000 pts with all the extra promotions on for SNGs and cash seemed a good time to go for it. Hopefully contribute something to Saints premiership promotion too.
edit:Saints are getting crushed so no joy there
However didn't follow my good advice on the points should not get in the way of good BRM etc.
For most of the past 2 weeks my BR has been hovering between 200 and 150. For most of the promotion over the weekend it has really steady between 180 and 160. Then one bad session on Sunday and it was oops down /> £50 and only getting a quarter of that back in c4p.
For all the talk about spinups being unbeatable I have got to say that turbo dyms must be more so. 10% rake and very quick games with s/stack. I knew they would be high variance so took a risk and it didn't pay off.
Couple of mini sessions were my own doing though - one were I rushed to load 3 tables straight away instead of playing my way in and lost all 3 spending the rest of then night getting it back. The second was on sunday when I was tired and not playing right. One time I seemed to just drift off not concentrating for a couple of mins and had almost blinded out on 2 tables. Variance was against probably more on balance than it was for, but 5 games there were entirely my own doing.
So the recovery starts today!
No £5 entries for a while and back to the more modest target of 100 pts to get the £2.30 and stay qualified for any premiership rewards.
