    Off tables now and -£538.67 down on the session which puts todays total at -£359.38 mybad

    In all honesty apart from 1 or 2 badbeats i would say almost all of my losses in my last session were due to my own bad play.

    Be back on again after a cuppa and a bite to eat though so onwards and upwards :)

    Another tricky session, amazingly only had one losing pot over 20 bb's and plenty of decent winning ones above the 20 bb mark but once again the little pots add up and I break even. I guess I'd ratehr this than doing £20-30 in a couple of sessions.

    Start BR = £344.76

    Session = -£0.98

    End BR = £341.04

    forgot to update this yesterday

    Don90 Starting balance for September - £71.81

    Yesterday for me was pretty weird i went through a spell where i could have taken  a whole deck and lost. The i went through a spell i needd 2 cards v a whole deck.

    Anyways i played mostly NL4 but did get 4 HU matches in for the Irishrover challenge. I lost 3/4 winning just the third game at 55p and then losing the 4th game at £1.05. I could moan that i ran like a donkey but i didnt exactly play well either.


    Anyways

    Startin Balance: £71.81

    Closing Balance: £74.65

    Total Profit/Loss: +£2.84

    I was down £15 at one point so finnishing just £2 up is a massive bonus.

    In Response to Re: **** SEPTEMBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD ****:
    Disappointingly only managed one session of NLHE200 today (In other news, Deus Ex - Human Evolution is a great game). Also disappointed to only just make over break even.  Had the best table I've seen at this level in ages, lost a buyin to a bit of variance and ground it back. Current Monthly +/-   +3.83 Small acorns and all that.

    Played 2 x £100nl tables for about 90mins this afternoon and made a loss of £132.10. All due to one pinacle hand where i put the table fish all in on the turn with AQ on a 23JQ board for a extra £70 or so into a pot of about £80 only for him to snap call with 1010 and the miracle 2 outer 10 to hit the river lol  you gotta love em :)

    The only concerlation as i watched the £220 pot slide across to him was that i know when he looks at his balance later on he will think he is doing something right :)  but its all part of the game so i hope he enjoys my cash :)

    I wont be playing anymore today and will prob not be on again until the mastercash show tomorrow night when i think its my favourite double act of rich and tikay (love these guys).

    My monthly running total is +£11.14 at the moment.

    Very best of luck to everyone on here unless its v me ofc :)

Ran a set of 5s into ajs set of 10s and 2nd nut flush on turn holding 2 clubs v the nut flush holding 2 clubs :( both on 100nl also ran a str8 into a flush on 200nl but was saved by the fact it was v a very tight player and i folded with only £60 of my cash in pot before he showed.

    Played 4 tables tonight for about 2 and a half hours. Not a great night, down about £12 for the day, but still in SLIGHT profit for the month. Could have avoided my losses if not for 2 bad hands against 1 villian, both of which had pots around the £15 mark, but oh well...

    BR 1st September: £226.83

    BR 3rd September: £227.28

    Profit: 45p!

    Day 3 began at midnight when i should of been sleeping, i may have gone on a mini tilt from the actions of a certain player, but i moved from the table and came back calmer won all my money back plus more, will carry on tomorrow, after work if im not too tired.
    Got into work and manager says i can go home he wants me to work the night shift so all the time im driving home im thinking great im in the mood for some poker and wow what a day i have had, started off losing a few small hands, but then the big hand comes, i have flopped a set and im pushed all in by someone hoping to get lucky with the flush, somebody else calls the all in, and i manage to triple up nearly, wasted £2 of it a few hands later when i hit top pair, but managed to get away from the hand, he claims he flopped a set, so all i can do is believe him.came back for an hour, was 50p up, but then lost 49p to a 2 pair imo so thats another 1p added making it look like i am an item in a shop worth £25.99 lol, i really wished he would of just raised a penny less :(
    Starting BR £5.00

    Br 1st September: £20.22

    BR 2nd September: £20.80

    BR 3rd September: £25.99

    couldn't sleep.  played bad.  made a semi bluff that got called by a ridic hand and didn't get there. was in a -400£ hole at one point but due to set binking abilites I turned it round to only a 150£ loss.

    annoyed with myself tho.

    Rubbish night last night. Only cashed in the open mini (about 12th I think), forgot to add-on in both my rebuy tournies. Sky really need a message that pops up asking if you want to add-on during the break as thats not the 1st time and really hindered my chances of doing any good.

    Last night - -£44
    Monthly profit/loss - +£159
  • edited September 2011
    Absolutely terrible day, think it was my worst day in terms of losses and play on the site, the continued spectacular bad beats are definitely affecting my mindset and I'm now matching the number of bad beats with some pretty poor play.

    Yesterdays loss was £107.75, giving a September balance of -£101.01

    Won't be playing the main events tonight, just don't have the confidence that I could win one race, never mind go deep in a 300+ player tourney.

    Testing the water with the 2.00pm £11 BH, which 10 minutes in, has me 56 of 62 players remaining.
  • edited September 2011
    and so the highly unlikely continues to be the probable...

    2.00pm BH, ultra aggressive player on the table, re-raises me pre flop, I have AQ, decide to shove my stack all in, he instant calls with J 10.

    I flop two pair (what are the chances of that), of course his four outer King promptly follows to give him the straight.

    Got to the stage where in races I am now calling the cards on the turn and river before I see them and invariably seeing against the odds, the one, two, three and four outer arrive

    Going out for a change of scenery, not enjoying this, though naturally I will be back!

    September loss - £107.26

    Well thought it was bad before but had a feeling the proper bad one was coming and this was it, plenty of badbeats, a good helping of coolers and a dash of walks with monsters and not getting paid when I hit.

    Session - -£21.97

    End BR - £319.07

    Been on and off the tables since 1am this morning with a little sleep inbetween ))

    Early hours i ran ok and made £217.25 on 50nl and 100nl

    Around breakfast time my bad play started to creep in again and i was making crazy calls again so after losing £121.48 i left to take a break before i did anymore damage.

    Just been on and off again for about 2 hours playing 40nl 50nl 100nl and 200nl and managed to make £187.33 even though im still playing like a donk. Gonna take a break now until later on when i might just play the tv tables for the lolzzz. Good fun on saturdays nights.

    Todays profit = +£283.10

    Running total on month =-£359.36 (at least its going back in right direction ) ))

    Good luck all.

    After making a nice little profit last month playing mostly PLO and PLO8 MTTs I'm now on a massive bad run. Cards are mostly dead and when I get something I get coolered. The latest 'highlight' was going out with quads against straight flush. To try to break the jinx I mixed in some NL4 cash and a couple STTs, but no luck there either. I'll try deep stack or 2 later, so if you see me just go all in as you're guaranteed to hit runner runner.

    At least my bank roll is still significantly higher than my initial deposit, but even so losing stinks.

    Balance so far this month: -£37.74
  • edited September 2011
    I don't really play too much consistently and never really set myself goals as I just play for fun.  But I'll see what I can do with my current bankroll.  Technically it's not my bankroll, it's just the balance in my account.

    On the 1st of the month it stood at £276.95.

    Just played a single cash session and one MTT until this afternoon.  Both -£.

    Sat at 4 x NL4 tables for 3 hours, one of them being a 10 seater £10 max buy in, and played while reading DOHHHHHHH's NL4 Guide:

    Another dissapointing session, really just not getting a break right now every good hand caught up by something, hitting sets/2pr/TPTK everyone folds to value bet, every cbet when I have air is being minraised or called. 440 hands played which is biggest so far in one go but had to stop and call it a day. Kind of amazing though as last month after a bad start I was  pretty much up a buy-in EVERY session, it was like I just expected it to happen but now it seems I'm getting a good kicking down and then gotta build up again. Have to admit it sucks being in limbo land completely secure for NL10 but a good way off starting NL20.
