Thanx for the comments, v much appreiciated
He cbets, ofc. And I call 55.
Not gonna get much money if I hit the draw obv but it helps.
Not just gonna pure setmine in 3b pots v a loose guy?
I can also spin the 5s into a bluff, this is my favourite past-time if a heart comes and he goes all shy.
Just because he doesn't have a pair, does AK have outs to your hand?
I also don't know wtf I was thinking so don't ask lol.
Cheers for the comments about me... I think.
Quick update from yesterday as prob gonna be off-line tonight and most of tomorrow.
Was a decent day overall.
Frustrating afternoon and early evening I just seemed to keep losing big flips. Like grinding away for a couple of hours and then 'the' big hand to put me in contention to go deep went against me.
Skys £9.60 sats, I must have failed in my last 25-30 attempts at those, including 4 pure bubbles.
Gonna keep the faith with them though, despite another 3 failed attempts yesterday. They're 1 in 12 I think, so runs of 30 without a win are prob quite common, I dunno.
Left it till the evening speeds to finally get a cash on the board, 2nd in the first £3r 100 gtd for about £35, then went on to take down the final comp of the night (again) to save the day and finish +£75ish on sky.
Last night, ran insanely good after going into the FT short, and everything went my way.
Couple of other minor cashes here and elsewhere but nowt to shout about.

Might play some tournys tomorrow from 4pm onwards, see if I can win something with a prize above £100 1 time!
Fred needs new title as im sure you gave up sit n gos ages ago, altho again way too late
Oh yeah why are some of your posts far toooo long, obv skipped those zzzz
Ofc it doesn't show rebuys or addons, and altho I very rarely rebuy in the speed comps, I always take the add on, so I spose it's $100-150 better than it should be.
Would be nice to get this to +$20k somehow by the end of the year.

Im sure playing some small mtts on stars as well as sky will allow you to get the returns your game deserves. I could give you 5 a day that are less than $5 that if you bink your br would get a massive boost. Now tell me $3 dont give you the shakes !
Tues report!
Not alot to report!
Decided to give the stars daytime mtts ago, as advised above ^
Only had a few dollars on there, so shipped $40 over from FTP and just registered up randomly between 1pm-3pm, 7-8 tournys total between $1-11.
Gotta admit I found it really difficult multi tabling mtts, I was always readless. I downloaded pokertracker to try and help with just very basic stats, but I had problems with it, apparently as soon as the pot was more than 6xbb, the potsize became invalid so it couldn't record the hand. ffs.
TECHNOLOGY !!! :@ :@ :@
Anyway the inevitable happened and I bust most of the mtts, some early, some mid-stages, and was left 2 tabling deep in the money in a $2r, 8k gtd, and a $3 6max fo, $4k gtd.
Now I could make the tables bigger, and focus properly on hands it got alot easier. My table in the 6max was purrrrrrfect, so many bad players chipped up, and the structure plays so deep too.
Ofc I totally ballsed it up, peeling pre v a massive russian fish, w/88.
He check/calls J63, and I check back A turn. He bombs the blank river.
I ask him if he will show if I fold.
He says no.
I asked, because previously someone had asked him to show, and he agreed, and showed pocket aces.
hmmmmmm
Just so curious, had to be AK or nothing!
CALL!! C'mon!!!!!
........
Pocket jacks
What a terrible call. Why did I do that. How do fish always own me?
Perfect table, deepstacked, position on a terrible player, and I do that.
Had some left but couldn't get going again, I'd 'gone'. Finished about 25th/1,250.
The $2r wasn't so bad on my part, more standard exit just losing flips and stuff. Again, 20th/1,500.
Those 2 were the only cashes, which gave me about $20 profit on my total outlay. Couple of close calls though, everyone knows where the money is in MTTs and I was pretty close to 'gettin it'.
-----------
Over to sky, and my 2 in 25 satellite misery continues.
It wasn't a pure bubble this time, but a very close call, and quite an unpleasent ending!!!!
Can't see stacks there, bar had 45k so was a fight between 3 of us for the 2nd spot. Hold here I have 20k v subs 9k and am a big favourite. mehhh nvm.
Min cashes in the velocity and the £2 speed rebuy meant it was a break even night on Sky. Couple of HU hyper wins helped too.
Thought I was on for back 2 back velocity freezeout wins, until this hand.
How on earth can 55 be favourite and hold here? It just seems so unfair that they can play so badly and have 54% equity v me in a huge pot here.
High v spot
50k @ 500/1k in the velo is like 1/4 of the chips with 10 left
Nvm, prob same again today. I did log off on Tuesday night saying f this, I've had enough of scratching around in MTTs when I could/should be playing cash.
Ofc I'm playing today, and cba to grind. Maybe later

If I don't it's gonna be my lowest points total in 3 yrs!
GL all playing today.
Ignore people(no names mentioned) who say your posts are too long. As long as they're interesting and entertaining, and they are, do what you do mate. I'm ultra impressed by those SS graphs. Isn't a positve gradient a joy to behold? It's shows what you can do in time.
TY for poker paradigm....it really was an eye opener though it is costing me at times through misreads or just plain losing to the poker gods whereas before i may just be saying "aaaah, he's got it!" Certainly, my post flop play is more considered now though "work to do in this area" is what i'd have written on a boy's report as a teacher in the past!
Got down to last 15 in mini open from over 320 last week and felt pleased with my post flop play though it seems my out hand(not believing the flush on flop of my opponent) was an error. I got str8 on turn and shoved short stacked. Sigh. At least i am putting more pressure on my opponents.
A question for you D. ....no silly answers now....What is your poker philosophy whilst playing? (not to win money!). I wonder whether fear comes into my game too often...

I really enjoy reading your 'stuff' D. You have such a good handle on the game from different perspectives. I only ask q's as it's good to get an honest, experienced opinion. Perhaps philosophy was the wrong word and mindset should have taken its place. There's a book by Matt Hilger i'm tempted to get unless you know a good article. (enjoyed the "Are you a gambler" article by the way...even printed it!).
Sent you a pm concerning that msn address...maybe problem with S or 5 in address.
The 'small' win pots probably help you to make moves that some of us cash-hungry guys wouldn't. I shall not mention 33 v QQ , bg stack v big stack in boogie Woogie league......oops, i did!! Enjoyed the game and gave me a chance to see some of your hidden showdowns for loads of notes...lol
Had killer hand in W's league yesterday...even managed to put it in clinic....i just love copy and paste now!!!!! What you think...putting his hand on soon so be quick...ha.
Good to see ya at the tables and if you come across some good vids for guys who still have their mojo for the game, post 'em eh? Hey sad to say, i'm even taping pointless now....
Hope your not playing today son?

Also got 2nd in one of the mtts, to end the day up £50 and 10 pence exactly!
Might be some kind of record for the turbo dyms! I doubt many people have gotten much more than 10 in a row @ those, the varience is crazy!
