Kin game!
Momentum crushing session yest.
Half way through the MTT session I found a leak in the water tank which is just behind the 'grind station'. So had to complete that part of the grind with plumbers working around me.
Not ideal. Predictably, no scores.
On to PLO at night, and things didn't get much better.
Down 5 buyins within an hour. I've never flopped top set so often. Never lost with top set so often either!
Started to pull it back though, and a couple of hours later was well up for the session, until this hand and a few others within the space of 10 mins at the very end destroyed the grind and I ended 4 buyins down
Hopefully they aren't all in 430xbb pots though
Back tomorrow if I can face it!
I apologise on behalf of City for Saturdays failings
The idea is to update daily p/l totals here, hoping it will help me focus more as the competition with Donald did at the beginning of this 'journey'.
A word on England cricket...

Keep well old bean!
I see going back to posting session reports here under new circumstances as abit of a challenge, recently I've been wimping out of playing above 4nl and playing half heartedly in the sessions I do play, with inevitably poor results.
Really couldn't argue with swapping Lyth out for Hales at his home ground.
Only worry is can he exert control if needed?
Shame that put in Kerrigan too soon last time round.
I remember the last Trent Bridge ashes test well, Jimmy was brilliant but I think Cook overbowled him and k-nackered him for the later games.
Would like to see a swing specialist in there for Trent Bridge but keeping Wood makes sense if fit.
Hayles for Lyth would have made sense but then I guess we also need to give people a chance to get established and find a solid partner for Cook and he looked good against NZ.
In terms of a poker challenge, have you tried the spin up tables? 20nl plays soft quite a lot of the time and the action comes fast and furious. Obviously high variance - I am currently up but very early days. I believe AJS is offering £1k to anyone who can make a profit over 100,000 hands. Ready made for a diary name change - Spin and Dooohh.
The opponent always strikes me as an 'enthusiastic' player.
He plays in a way that's quite different from most at the lower stakes in that he likes to get involved a lot but often in aggressive ways.
Normally bluff catching in these games is just pointless. It's not going to work.
But against this guy it's really tempting to call down sometimes.
The only actual note I've made is he flatted an open whilst in the sb with K7s. The BB squeezed off a 45xbb stack, and this guy backraise shoved and got it all in.
So once the flop checks through I think it's highly unlikely anyone has a single Kx. Both players would imo bet Kx hands, player 1 as the pre flop raiser, and player 2 having seen the pre flop raiser check.
I've flopped well and decide to lead out on what appears to be a blank turn. I expect I just win the pot sometimes and if called I have decent equity, the aggressive lead and potentially some decent showdown value too.
Big brick otr.
I don't see any point in betting here, I just get called (or raised) by almost every hand that beats me and fold out 100% of hands that don't.
I plan to check and probably call depending on his bet sizing, expecting him to bet only a value range of KK/99 and Quads, and potentially have enough missed flush draws to make the call profitable (even though I block some).
His bet sizing is really big, pretty much representing the polarized range that I assigned him when I considered what he may bet on the river given the action/board texture.
I decided to go through with my plan and make the call.
Anyone have any thoughts on it?
The big problem (and it's my own fault for being lazy) is I don't have any specific notes on how or even if this guy bluffs post flop.
All I have is a 'feel' for his game, and it 'felt' like he could have some bluffs here.
But who knows

@jordz
Yes I believe the high stakes player rosiedog09 (?) is the Lancashire and England cricketer Simon Kerrigan.
I think it's a big handicap for him and any other potential England cricketer to be playing in division 2 of the county championship nowardays. The standard seems much worse, and the jump from there to test cricket is huge.
Hopefully Lancs complete their promotion and he can return to div 1.
That or sign for YCCC to cover for when Adil is a full time England player nxt year

gl all grindingggg today.
Yo Dohhhhhhh,
Pleased to hear about the change of lifestyle, well done you, & I hope you keep it up.
You are not the first to face those demons, & won't be the last.
I quit alcohol when I was 21, & it made my life immeasurably better. And I'm not on any high horse here, I've smoked most of my life which is arguably even worse.
Good luck, seriously.
Good to see the diary back mate.
Might be joining you at 4nl soon, go easy on me
Thoughts on the new season? Got many bets on? I can't wait to get shunted by the Skybet special every Saturday, fml.
I hope he has AQ in that hand for ultimate pwnage.
Fair play to you on the booze front, that's a great effort. Keep it up.
All the best on and off the tables
@ Bonk. haha. I shA t myself when I read your comment. Rushed to zoom in on the picture before realising. vwp.
Doesn't seem to make any difference at all tho. yawwwwwn.
Even more pleased to see you've managed to pull yourself out of that unhealthy situation.
I wouldn't surprised if you're soon posting your best results in years. Good luck.
Good to have you posting too
