    Good to have the Dohary back!
    I enjoy reading ALL the diaries. I prob should be studying my poker leaks but hey-ho!  Also, it's good to read about poker and the person writing the diary.  FWIW I only know Doh is partial to poker, pepperoni pizza & pints? There's gotta be a bit more.........e.g.

    Morning.

    Didn't end up writing the preperation blog/post thing yest, that'll prob be one for nxt time I play.

    I didn't prepare very well, I never do really on Sundays, or even Saturdays. They seem to have a different feel to them than playing on weekdays. I rarely do very well. Fridays are okay....

    It's weird. 

    Think there's just more distractions.

    Anyway just spent yest mostly Rsing around, watching sport, talking about sport etc. Donked about in some of skys afternoon speed tournys, they ended like this.....

    JIMMYRED2420001£70 + 20 League Points
    windamon02£42 + 16 League Points
    teleman803£28 + 12 League Points
    DOHHHHHHH048 League Points

    And this......

    martin291650001£48 + 10 League Points
    bigoss02£28.80 + 8 League Points
    Kerrnal03£19.20 + 6 League Points
    DOHHHHHHH044 League Points

    Fittingly had just watched WHU win away at cardiff. I'm forever finishing on bubbles :(

    Then I played Lambo HU in his comp, I had to let him win as a thank you for running it. In all honesty though, I think he's a £3 HU sng player. If he was in my 10's 20's HU sngs that I grind most days, I would probably avoid him.

    Dunno if that's a compliment to him, or an insult to my regular pponents.

    Or both.

    There's a link to the games on Youtube somewhere above ^^^ Messy diaries ftw.

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

    Anyway after messing all day, the sport on TV dried up, n I was intoxicated enough to tackle some hypers and play for more than 3 pounds at once :)

    Given that it was a Sunday, I had bubbled 2 MTT's, & had my bum kicked out of the forum comp, I was pleased to put in a small winning session.

    DOHHHHHHH  41$3  $23  16%$109  -N/ASkyPoker<1Day SNG Onlyx



    Graph


    You can see the day was going from bad to worse until it turned round mid session.

    Not alot to say, just standard really, lose alot, win it back.

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

    1 thing I am gonna do today that I never do with hypers is look through hand histories.

    Watched the games with Lambo back twice, once last night when mortal & once this morning. On both occasions 1 play leaped out at me for being bad.

    Normally I wouldn't even look/think about that sort of thing, it was only the size of a 2nd c bet on the turn when I was bluffing, and I bet 180 into 300, when I think it would be better to bet 130 or 140.

    Small details, but I bet theres loads of them, which if I can address will deffo improve the ROI.

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

    Bak to kip now, try and sleep this hangover off, then gonna tackle the HH's.

    Next poker session on Wednesday, if anyones around and wants a fun series of HU sng games, post on here.

    Well done to Rory Mac btw!

    I like this diary and read all entries. Just one small request; please set you Sharkscope to show results in UK pounds, it seems a bit silly giving us your results in a diferent currency!

  • DOHHHHHHHDOHHHHHHH
    edited March 2012
    hmmm prob with changing the currency is that all my notes on players from the last 6 months I've been playing HU sngs are in $$$

    For example a typical note would be....

    "10 Hyp Feb12' Down 750, 1k games"

    that 750 is $$$$$

    So if I start doing it differently I'll have to either make a longer note, or skope every1 n change them all.

    Maybe could just change settings when I'm doing a write up then change it back. I'll see nxt time :P

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

    Poker fail, best of 31, r u mad?

    7 possibly? 9 at a push.....

    Not 31 tho!!!!

    Sort it Wed afto between 4-6ish!

    OK, fair enough. It only takes a few seconds to switch it to UK£ then back to US$, not a big job when you're posting results for consumption by the British public.

    I had 14 days off from sky, and i played some HU hypers on pokerstars

    Estonians are annoyingly difficult to play. I got a profit of 400 dollar and then lost the lot in a day

    swingaments, but if i play better, and learn from you, i know i can beat them

    Great diary sir

    Pod are you playing more cautiously then when you have 10-20 BIs cos you don't wanna go bust? Cos most people say you should play with a nice healthy bankroll so you don't have to play scared but it seems playing scared (to a point) is what's keeping you going.

    i think you are absolutely right paul, i play real tight when i play with 10/12 bins (not dude tight ob, but still ubber tight, last week in first4 days playing 4 tables i didnt have all my chips in the middle once without having the cold stone nutz. then thurs friday and sat i have a blinder, 200 up on nl20, 400 quid up on nl30, 150 up on nl50 .
    sat afternoon i sit down and play 4/6 tables of nl30 like a complete peni, sunday lunch time i do it again. sunday night im thinking maybe its down to too many tables and play 1 nl100 to tighten my game back up and again idiot play isnt the word!! yest another 2 bins down at nl30.
    decided to not go for my c4pts target now as i think it wasnt helping and laying off poker till the weekend. dont know what else to do bud.

    Yo Pod-o-laaaaa.

    Blimey, a serious question? :S

    It's a good job that you're better at building bridges than you are bankrolls innit ;)

    Maybe this question would be better asked on Tommys or TK's threads, I'm tempted to just rub u down & ridicule you with poor gags and insults for 500 words. lololol.

    I'll have a go.....

    Whenever I've played you in the past (at cash), or seen the many hand histories you've posted I've always thought "wtf". You don't play "by the book", you seem to have your own style which is very deceptive and difficult to read. You also smash so many flops with so many strange hands in spots where 'the book' says you should never have those hands in the first place.....

    That's a good skill to have.....  :P

    I'm not saying you play bad in general, you just play alot different to most standard winning players at your/(my) old cash level. 

    I'm unsure how you should expect this 'style' of play to effect your swings.....

    I'd say you are quite risk averse, so I'd probably expect your swings to be lower than some of the more aggressive winning regs @ my old stakes, people like lnarinOO & pokerkinga will probably expect to have more severe short term downswings, but also a higher long term winrate......

    All the above has done really is rule out your playing style as a reason for having big swings. It must be something else.....


    Can you blame your bankroll management?? :S

    Well I dunno that either. 10-20 buy ins? I know you're probably prepared to reload if you drop in to the danger zone of <5 buy ins, but this is still too low imo, even with your playing style.

    It could be complacency when you build up your account balance to 20-30 buy ins maybe?

    1 thing I do, and I know alot of people do, is I only keep a set amount of money in my SP account at the start of every session.

    Currently it is £500, it used to be £600 when I was grinding nl30 for god knows how long.

    Anything above that gets withdrawn straight after a winning session, directly in to a poker bank account......

    This is your 'bankroll'.

    I think it's important not to merge your 'poker money' with any other money you have coming in, it just gets lost/mixed up, you lose direction, and you don't really know where you're at with it....

    So I'd suggest opening a seperate poker bank account, otherwise the only way to do this really is to keep it all in your SP account?

    Imo, building bankrolls is all about mindset, morale and momentum.

    This is why Donald struggles so much. His mindset is all wrong, his morale is always low, and therefore he cannot build any momentum. Doesn't matter how big an edge he has in his games if he cannot keep the 3 m's up!

    Anyway as you see your poker bank account grow, you'll get the feeling of being successful and building something good for yourself. Something that isn't a bridge ......

    It also allows you to keep maybe only 10 buy ins in your sky account at once? rather than your whole roll.....

    Even 8 might be better for you? or as low as 5? Knowing that you have 80% of your bankroll behind and can be loaded on to the site within a couple of clicks if need be.


    And coming back to your initial point about performing better when your roll is smaller, this might help.

    Each session will feel like a new start and you wont be allowed to become complacent. If you did, there'd be a real danger of busting your account (without busting your roll). 

    It might just sharpen your mind and make sure you're on 100% 'on it' each time you sit down to play a session.

    Morning HU sng'ers!

    For anyone who hasn't already, don't bother reading the above post (unless you're Pod). Tiz all a load of nonsense specific to ppl/plonkers who play better when they got smaller bankrolls :P 

    .....So just Pod then ........ ;)

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

    Poker day today !!!!  :)

    On my couple of days away from the tables, I haven't done much poker related stuff.

    I did go through my HH's from last session, and honestly couldn't find that many interesting spots at all. Just all standard stuff.

    Yesterday I had a stroke of luck. I was scanning through a poker site, and found some guy had posted a HU tutorial video, had a watch and it was really good. 

    I read the bio/blog of the guy who had uploaded it, he's a $300 HU hyperturbo pro, who's made over $150k at them.

    I posted speculatively, asking a couple of questions, and he replied offering to take a look at some of my videos and even maybe use them for future tutorial videos he might make.

    ^^^ 4 free :)

    I'm quite excited about it, & nervous! He might slate me  ( :s )

    So 2 main objectives today are to

    a) record 7/8 HU hyperturbos against different opponents, which I can look through tomorrow and pick a couple out to send.

    b) Creep back on to the bottom of the sng leaderboard for the first time since Jan 3rd! Think I'm $150ish off atm, $1k landslide mid Jan hasn't helped, but it will be good to be back!

    Fail & IDCU (n any1 else) I'm around for the comedy HU's from 1pm, although 3pm onwards more realistic :P

    glgl to any1 grinding today!.
