    rubbish day. lost some flips. tilted. played badly. down about £500, might play again later tonight if i can be bothered.

    total for month ~ +£500
  • edited September 2011
    decided to have another short session
    wish i hadn't bothered!
    down £6.57 after losing to better straights and people who can't let go of suited cards
    so a promising start is now a loss of £3.74

    tomorrows another day and hopefully I can catch a break.

    oh by the way, does any one else experience the (correct) folding of rubbish which would have flopped a FH or straight. that happened to me tonight about half a dozen times, a couple of which those still in the hand went crazy! annoying that is even though folding them was correct

    Day 7 starts with me feeling ill, entered a £5 MTT, and was doing exceptional, was jumping between chip leader and 2nd, but then with 16 people to go i manage to make a stupid call getting myself into trouble with only 2-4k chips left, i pushed with top pair on the flop only to find out that my opponent had 2 pair, oh well i figured out what i need to work on, then in a £3 DYM i had a guy insulting me for calling an all in, when i had he straight flush draw, leaving me 800 chips as i miss both, and then he insults me again as i push, he thought he was better off with his A 10o, i had 88, my 8's held against him but another guy randomly joined in the all in with A 6 and hit 666, so that was the end of that :( i got a headache and its making it difficult for me to concentrate, will probably carry on when i wake up
    So i wake up and i decide to try my luck on another MTT BH, i start off well, but everytime i had a hand like K 10, or A Q, i would raise 3x BB and be pushed all in, so i tried to wait out for a better opportunity rather then a coin flip, and it did not pay off, i got knocked out around 13th i think, after that gave Sit n DOHHHH a go and managed to win so i won back the money from the MTT and decided i wasnt gonna do any more MTTs until my bank roll is over 100
    Oh wow my worst day yet, My set of 10's gets beaten by a flush losing me a buy in, and i didnt folllow my own advice of moving off the table if i lose like that maybe i should but then my 3 of a kind 8's lost to a full house so lost another BI (difference between set and 3 of a kind = set is if your holding pocket pair to make the set, 3 of a kind is where your holding 1 of em and 2 of em appear on the board


    Starting BR £5.00

    Br 1st September: £20.22

    Br 2nd September: £20.80
    Br 3rd September: £25.99
    Br 4th September: £27.62
    Br 5th September: £30.12
    Br 6th September: £37.02
    Br 7th September: £24.09

    Profit: £19.09

    Played all levels today from 20nl up to 300nl depending where the value was and left each table as soon as it went dead.
    Got unlucky a few times early doors but it all started going right soon after and by about 5pm i was over £400 up on cash.

    Bit slow when i started playing cash again tonight but hitting set v set and qq v jj soon changed that.

    My favourite hand of the day had to be when i raised pre to £4 on 100nl to isolate the table fish with JQ. flop came down 10 6 2 rainbow and i cont bet £7 which he calls. turn comes down 9 giving me up and down draw and i bet £16 which he calls again, river 8 and i have nuts and bet out £25 hoping to see the raise from his pocket 7s which came ))  i go all in and calls and shows 77 lol . . . . . . . dosnt happen often but it always feels better when you fish the fish )))

    Played a few tournys tonight aswell and won one of them but only a small cash cos only 61 runners.

    Profit on day +655.32

    My months running total +£1697.32


    Now off to the tables again for me to make a start on wednesdays score ))

    You ever thought maybe some people can not go out ?

    Each to there own i say as long as its not hurting no-one why worry about it
  • edited September 2011

    After my hols ive played for 2 days now, and showing an initial profit over mon/tues of £157.21. No longer feel a cash donk and been playing a lot of nl40/50 as well as hu sngs. Had one nice pot yesterday 3 way of £180 and my pocket aces stood up!!

    Also lost a buyin at nl40 to scotty77 when i flopped trip jacks and hit my fh on the turn, playing it coyly till the river when I put a value bet in to take the pot down then SLAM, scotty chucks all his chips in, the card that made my fh gave him quad 5s, sick !

    Gonna play less turbo dyms as these are a big leak and I now dont think they are worth the effort because of the rake.

    My cash for points target is still 10k, as it brings a tidy bonus and perks in, but JJ rightly pointed out focus should be on profits rather than rakeback.

    Oh my god! lol. I know BRM isn't something you can be too tight on if you deposit £5 and wanna spin it up but putting 20% of your bankroll into 1 MTT is just asking to go bust!

    Haven't posted for a few days, been on a bad run and tilting with poker a bit so been a bit down with it until last night.

    Last time I recorded my results I was +£99. I then played £110 of tournies on Sunday with not a single cash so went -£11.

    Wasn't going well again last night, KK into AA twice knocked me out of 2 trnys, AK vs AA when shortish stacked knocked me out of another was left with just the TSP. Got a decent stack and was then joined on my table by sam1986 and Hurst05, pretty tough table, luckily there was 1 guy that was trying to steal 2 or 3 times every cycle of the table so every now and then I would 3bet him with air and he would fold (I had a very nitty image) so that kept my stack up.

    Eventually finished 2nd after having 3/4 of the chips in play with 3 players left (Don't put people all in with 8 high when they have flopped a set).

    Won £220 for my troubles, I had played £102 of tournies/little bit of a loss on cash so £118 up.

    Total Monthly profit/loss - +£107

    Hopefully this will kick start my month and I can start making some decent money again (I aim/average £800 a month)
  • edited September 2011

    a short 2 hour or so session and what a difference a nights sleep makes
    up £10.36 on the 2 tables - this time either I'm hitting or they are missing! the complete opposite to yesterday.
    such is poker!
    total now up £6.62!

    Smaller session than normal but still more variance to report. Managed to get AK v AA twice which resulted in most of losses and also JJ against A4 that called for gutshot on turn, standard. Was actually up slightly at one stage but had to plow on and enevitably finish on loss :).
