Sunday update time and it's a small loss for the second week running and tbh I am not surprised not been giving some of the games my full attention and getting involved in some pretty bad games in the spin ups on the plus side Friday and Saturday entry into the main event courtesy of the nightly free roll. Friday I lasted five minutes but last night was better finishing about 35th with 3 bounties and I felt I played ok I might post a few hands later. On the home front fathers day my favourite already got a bottle of glayva off the youngest two to come :-) but it made me think of my dad and it was a wee bit of a shock when I realised it was three years since he popped off sad times. Opening balance £383.77 Closing balance £356.70 Thinking about trying a bit of cash I play the spin ups but I am under no illusion that normal cash is different and I am not sure whether to start at 2p 4p or 5p 10p does anybody have any advice that would help gl all and be good Posted by weecheez1
Rake feels like a killer at 4NL but the games are all kinds of soft and very beatable for someone of your abilities. 10NL at the wrong time can actually feel tough: 4-5 so-so to pretty decent regs and a fair amount of aggression/3-betting IP etc. but at other times it's a breeze. Table selection is your friend. 8NL can be fun/profitable, too.
Ooh, perhaps capped games could be more your thing - a kind of bridge between spin ups and deeper cash games. Decision making is easier, you can go on massive tears and the players seem splashier and make tons of mistakes. Be prepared, though, that big blobs of run bad can really hack into your bankroll. Best of luck, whatever you decide.

Thanks SR23 that's good advice I am a bit of a bankroll nit and I don't want to get into a chasing situation the capped games could be the way to go I was thinking about putting a certain amount in and if it goes then its time for a box set or a couple of hours watching twitch streams thanks again for taking the time to answer gl

Back to mtts way out of my comfort zone on cash tables bad starting hands,bet sizing all over the place and just not believing recepie for disaster
Well had a wee try at cash and found myself coming up a bit short I felt that it was slow but that could of been down to only playing one table or being used to spin ups but I dropped it and just bounced around playing whatever took my fancy. Been a good week for a gamble with a line each day on royal Ascot just clearing my bets the first two days and small losses the last three magnificent beasts and I think ITV done a really good job covering it
On the home front we are looking for a break away for the good lady's birthday priced log cabins and the one she liked came in at £1850 for the week I nearly followed through, we could go all inclusive for a fortnight for the same money her birthday is at end of July so we have left it a bit late but we will sort something. The youngest daughter had her prom got a lovely picture of the two of us before she left On health to go for some sort of scan thingy on the stump they think there might be a bit of the stitch stuck in the wound the consultant said they would need to open it back up if that was the case. I don't think the filters would let me write down my answer

Cheers Wee - lets hope we are not on the same table ( unless its's the final one!) - I would hate for either of us to take the other out...
I have been in training and have read everything that Tikay has ever written about poker so am expecting an easy win tonight ..... clearly that means you can only finish second!
In Response to Re: Cheezy bountys all round : Cheers Marky - will you be playing tonight? Be gentle to Wee and myself! Posted by bearace
Nah bearace I won't be playing tonight. Been taking care of things away from the tables over the last few weeks before the Vegas trip. Will get back to the poker properly when I get back.

That pair of sixes you called with was the turning point - I felt you were going to be in trouble. Anyway well played Wee you lasted a lot longer than I did.

Thanks bear looking back I think it was a fold pre even though I was in front but had a good buzz and it was a good experience
Quiet week much the same as last week with the mtt results up on the spin ups. I am needing something to focus my attention. Gave the plo8 bhs a rest and played the mini a few times so I think I will play the sats for the main and just win the jackpot seeing as how all the big guns are away to Vegas (not jealous in the slightest :-) )very best of luck everyone
Had night off last night and had film night with good lady cheezy horrors being the order of the day and a few stellas forgot how much of a kick they have and on top of tablets not my best idea my head feels like someone is squeezing my brain

Hope you both have a deep run!
