    a long session this time and 3 tables
    probably too long - ended up £3.12 so balance up £22.69 overall.
    would have been alot better if I could get past people who think top pair ace kicker is the nuts when I have an overpair and they hit trips/2 pair on river. way it goes!

    Oh, does anyone else have a nemesis at the tables? the past couple of weeks this guy has always got there at the river. today on the turn i had the nut straight and he goes allin. the way he 's played it he has trips so a no brainer call. the river pairs another card for his full house. he just can't seem to miss against me at the moment! will be trying to avoid him for a while!!

    good luck

    In answer to your nemesis question i would say yes mate.

    ME = i am my own nemesis at times lol always doing stupid things v the wrong people and end up beating myself :)

    But in all seriousness i think 90% of players find certain types of player awkward if it dosnt fit in with there own style of play and like you already said its just as easy to find a different table if so and if it is just a question of them getting lucky v you all the time you should carry on playing them because luck only lasts so long.

    But remember mate that if there is value at the same table as your nemesis its always better to stay there and just avoid playing v him while trying to isolate the value.

    Good luck.

    Bad day at black rock

    Only played small stakes cash for a short time in the afternoon and lost £31.38

    Played the main and mini + thews@10 MTTs with no joy in any and even forgot to take my rebuy in my fav MTT of the week Thews@10 which put me on a right downer :(

    Went on £100nl and £200nl for about 2 hours late night-early morning and apart from 1 hand where i remember hitting a set of 9s v t/p with fl/dr all in on flop only to see the flush hit river for £270 pot, i carnt remember any other times where i hit a hand. Had plenty flops where i had massive draws but never hit a thing and betting your draws can become expensive if your not hitting :(  loss= £378.12

    Like i have said before though sessions like this happen alot and although they are frustrating you just have to take them on the chin and remember tomorrows another day :)

    Cash games on day = -£409.50
    MTTs on day = -£36.30

    Total loss on day = -£445.80

    Monthly running total = +£5659.22

    Good luck all (dave)

    Proper grinding session last night, 2 major pots over 20bb's AK 3bet pre hit K high flop face donkbet and call happy days I raise it up BIG get flat turn blank I shove as stack is less than pot and amazingly they fold which was pretty sick, also finally binked a set and got paid the max. 1 losing 20bb pot AJ v 68 they called flop bet wiv 2nd pair and improved standard. Mainly though just a case of lots of little pots going against me. Reached 1000 points so gonna take break till 1st Oct, down on month but still playing well just need a little more run good.

    Start BR - £344.76

    Session - -£3.46

    End BR - £290.54

    Points - 1019

    good luck

    In Response to Re: **** SEPTEMBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD **** : Pretty good day today. Played the DTD. First one I got it all in on the turn with QQ, villain rivers flush. Second one I river K high flush, villain has the ace. Min-cashed the totty, standard flip AQ vs 88, so not all bad. Also played 1 Omaha bounty hunter. Had 22 runners, I took it down with 5 or 6 bounties for a nice little profit. Last hand opponent turned nut straight, I filled up on river, oppo couldn't get away. Balance today: +£15.10 Balance MTD: +£76.67

    Didn't play yesterday as I just didn't feel like it.

    Played the mini main and 2 £20gtd PLOs. Completely card dead in mini, played like 5 hands during first hour, made a stand last hand before break with A5, villain called with J9s and made his straight. Finished runner-up in both PLOs. First one was very short at start of heads-up and villain was running like god, quads 3-handed and then again heads-up. Second one was a good battle, but with blinds going up we just got it in with 2 mediocre hands and I lost. Still, so far this month I'm cashing exactly 50% of the £20gdts, I just need to improve my heads-up.

    Balance today: +£3.20
    Balance mtd: +£79.87

    decided to play again after posting last night as realised would be difficult to play over next 2 days for any length of time. wanted to get the 25 points or so which I thought the previuos session would have yielded!
    couldn't get going at all, strange how a 15 minute break changed my fortunes. ended up 8p!!!!

    so balance up £36.49
    points total 1002

    good luck

    After bragging a little about my cash percentage yesterday I didn't cash either of the 2 £20 gtd PLOs today. First one was bbv, all in on flop with set against 2 pair, lost to runner runner flush. Second one play was 4-handed, 3 cash, I was second low stack. Big stack hat bet pot on flop and turn, short stack had called all in. I had 2 pair and nfs on double-flushing board. I figured big stack was either trying to bully the short stacks or had me beat, but if I hit I would get a lot of chips and have a good chance to win and even if big stack holds I finish third and cash due to stacks. Of course short stack binks the wrong flush, big stack has a set and I go out in 4th. I'm quite upset both with my luck and because I could have easily folded on the flop as I only had middle pair + nfd at that point.

    Balance today: -£11.00

    The 1 x £100nl table i stayed on in the early hours proved to be a waste of time.
    2 very bad players on it but just couldnt hit a thing v them and ended up costing me £172.88.

    Been out all day today so havnt played any cash and just managed to get back in time to play the bounty hunter main and mini but after only 2 hands i got disconnected and couldnt get back on the site for about 30mins or so.

    When i did get back on my chips had almost halfed and first hand back i got dealt ak suited all in v a guy with k4 only to see the 4 hit the river (area 51 here i come :) ) and that was about the same time as my aq was losing to q9 in the mini (sigh).

    Site seemed to be really playing up for me running slow and discoing etc so decided to come off for a while then.

    Ive just been on 3-4 £100nl tables before typing this and made £87.02 so am going to call it a day now.

    Cash games on day = -£85.86
    MTTs on day = -£36.30 (quite expensive for playing 2 hands in each lol)

    Total loss on day = -£122.16

    Monthly running total = +£5683.49

    Forgot about/neglected and couldn't face this thread lately. But as the nightmare that was September is now over, I might as well give a quick summary.

    So I've played 3 times this week, 1 proper session inbetween 2 indifferent ones.

    Last Saturday I had a nightmare. Got really wound up, played and ran bad in the hypers and lost £175. My biggest losing session for 3 months.

    --------------

    I normally do well in the session after a blow up. It re-focuses my mind and I go back to being a br nit and trying to get my pennies back! Tuesday was my most satisfying day of poker for a long time.

    Was +120 in mtts, + 90 @ HU sngs, and +80 playing abit of 30nl. Not spectacular, but a good all round day.

    -----------

    Yesterday I followed up with a steady 92 quid day. Hardly played, couldn't find the motivation.

    ----------

    This week -175 + 290 + 92 + 30 C4P.... = 237

    Total for month = + 757.06

    Points - 3151

    ---------------------------

    Not bad in the end, considering I went a week without playing @ the start of the month. But not good either. It cudda been alot worse. Need a big month nxt month. Going for 2k. And really gonna try hard to go deep in an MTT. 

    Also, loving that October starts on a Saturday!! And it's the first new month since the HU Hypers have been brought in, so who knows what cud happen. I could make 4k C4P!!!! ;)

    GL all, and good thread!.

    Had a night off on Wednesday to see Peter Kay.

    An 18th place finish in Thursday's BH Main event and 24th in the BH mini, ensured Tuesday to Thursday produced a profit of £39.02

    September Profit + £1584.61

    September Points = 3,196

    As a side issue, with one day remaining I am currently 32nd in the MTT league, (was 35th 3 days ago), it's an outside chance, but today, as I have been doing for the last week or so, I will be trying to move into the top 30, which means playing as many MTT's as possible, so bankroll management goes out the window today!

    Hey Debs just wondering how do you get so many points as often I see you only play 1-2 tables at a time ?
  • edited September 2011
    Dont think i will be playing tonight so will post up my final months totals now.

    Total poker profit in september = +£5683.49
    Total cash 4 points 12,263 = +£350

    Total profit all inc = +£6033.49

    Month started slow for me but picked up again towards the middle before slowing again near the end, all in all im happy with the profit from september but one thing i will try and do more of next month is to try and grind cash4points alot more as im sure if i put the time in i could be getting at least double what i got this month and poss alot more as long as it didnt make my profit suffer.

    Good luck to everyone who has been posting on this thread and like Dohhh said in his post it has been a good one.

    Cheers. rentisdue (dave)

    Ok thats it for the month, havent had a great week due to personal reasons (which I wont go into) its amazing how your frame of mind can affect your poker play.

    Had a minor recovery today, to finish below my peak level of profit at £630, also managed 10k poker points which produces £330 (including 25% bonus for priority club) so thats a total profit of £960.

    I should be pleased with this but know it could have easily have been more than a grand, next month im setting a target of 1.5k profit and cash for points of at least 16k.

    Unfortunately I couldn't finish the month on a high. Played 1 £20gtd and the £1000gtd PLO as well as a £3.30 PLO8. Finished third in the PLO8, but got no cards at all in the other 2. I went out half-way through level 5 in the £1000gtd winning a total of 1 hand for 90 chips. Didn't bother to rebuy. One of these days.

    Balance today: -£4.70
    Final September balance: +£64.17

    Some stats:

    PLO

    MTT: Played 50, cashed 20, profit £94.82, ROI 41%
    STT: 1, 0, -£1.05, -100%
    Freerolls: +£9.60

    PLO total: +£103.37

    PLO8

    MTT: 31, 7, -£29.70, -31%
    STT: 2, 0, -£4.35, -100%

    PLO8 total: -£34.05

    NLHE

    MTT: 17, 3, -£7.66, -22%
    Satellites/Survivour: -£1
    Cash: -£1.49

    NLHE total: -£10.15


    The most puzzling number is the PLO8 result. Last month I made almost £85 with an ROI of 70% and this month I'm losing pretty big. For now I'll blame it on variance and assume my true skill is somewhere in the middle.

    Overall I'm happy I had a winning month (3 for 3 on SkyPoker, wiiiiiii). I'm happy with my cash rate, but too often I just min-cash. If I can turn some of those 2nd and 3rd finishes into victories I will be in great shape. I play for fun and not to make money, but winning is half the fun.

    I myself havnt played alot this month and have prob played more today than any other day this month.

    Well its quite early in the morning and im going to post my profit for this month on sky.

    I'm not going to give a breakdown weekly cos im tired and can't be asked to work it out but i came second in bounty hunter monday night for £900 ish and i just won the friday rebuy for £1682 along with £180 profit from the £1k gtd omaha.

    In cash games i played NLHE50 this month breaking even in that maybe a loss of 50 im not sure.

    so lets say £2500ish having lost some mtt's along the course of the month.

    I did win £1,500 on another network this month nt sure if it counts in this challenge but thought id add it anyway.

    Very pleased with my performance and play, definitely my best month in poker. Been taking the game seriously for around 18 months.
