In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" *Shot taking disaster & ROI challenge update* : Maybe we should play some games, I've tried everything else Posted by DOHHHHHHH
LOL I suck at HU so wouldn't play higher than £2.10 : ) even £3.15s a bit scary in those games!
Had my worst month ever so far @ HU sngs, lack of focus/too much ale @ times & also shocking game selection & shot taking fail.....
Was approaching a $1,000 downswing after sunday. It wasn't really bothering me though, which is good in some ways (well rolled) but bad in others....
It's worrying that I could lose so many buy ins & not really flinch, it was like I didn't really care that much.
So decided to re-think the game plan. Got my strategy clear in my head before the session & focus on every game 100%. Also decided to game select better. Still think I got an edge on all but 2/3 of the hyper regs, but I avoided some of them looking for softer games until I can get out of this hole.
It started well yest, am really determined to get even before Jan ends. even if that means a few small sober sessions
yests sesh (includes few time mtt's n FT of a small velo')
Thanks for the update mate. Just over 150 games to go, will not be happy if i dont hit it now. Your worst month would have to involve me, JINX. No cheating btw, playing £2 games with a 50% ROI. Good luck mate, the end is in sight. Need to decide if i should stick with these next moth or move onto another game. Would be a bit dumb to move with 10% ROI.
170 games in a day? serious? will be sick if you do it. Still unsure what will be a good sample size, dont think 1000 games is big enough. Good luck JJ.
Well the Saturday drinking session (1pm-5.30am on Sunday) took a whole 3 nights to get over. I could have forced myself to play yest but I fancied a pint about as much as I fancied playing a deepstack!
eurgh!
3 day poker/booze detox & I'm up early today raring to go! New month new optimism & all that.
----------------------------------------
The good news for nutter/gazza/iso24donk etc is I'm planning on shooting @ higher games again in Feb.
The bad news (4 them) is that I'm really going to 'try' and improve my 'table' selection when I do so.
Even if I was an established HU shark I'd prob avoid these guys day in day out in favour of softer games where my edge would be bigger. So when trying to move up and test the water, diving in against these players was/is just brainless.
Lesson learnt.
Febuary targets
- Be disciplined early in the month and consolodate the positive end to Jan by playing the games I know I can beat.
- Look to start shooting @ higher games mid month.
- Focus alot more on game/table selection.
- Pay more attention to the lobby looking for softer £25/30/40 games @ turbo/reg speed format rather than just ploughing through the whole night auto-reg'ing hypers.
- Update this thread after every session, not just when I win :P
- Post hands on this thread & take hand id's mid session to review at later date. (something I never normally do)
Thanks for the updates throughout the month. Not sure what to do this month, with coxy about to move upto the £10 games and the fact i cant win a race to save my life, I will have today off to have a think. I do like these, the freedom to play for half hour then walk away is great, cant do it with cash or mtt. Would like to play mtt for a month but untill sync breaks come in its gotta be a no. Its a hollow victory tbh, not happy with the way i ran towards the end of the month. Think i will prob stick with these but might move down to the £5 games. Good luck this month esp taking shots, do it after 5/6 tins not 10.
Part of my (not so super)stition when playing hypers is the forum has to be on GPC & minimized, and I have to go to filter to chat only, and then back to mini.
I am still tilted, and still losing! Tweet me for B O 3! Part of my (not so super)stition when playing hypers is the forum has to be on GPC & minimized, and I have to go to filter to chat only, and then back to mini. Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Man things don't seem to be going too well. You think it's just run bad leading onto tilt after losing loads? Or bad play leading to tilt? How many games has it been going on for? Like are you in loss over the last 100 games?
If you're still around in about 10 mins, I'll take you in a best of 3, £3.15s. see if I can gift you a tenner.

Wow, nice one JJ, that's one way to get yourself way above break even after a few low stake losses. Guess you don't need a best of 3 with me anymore lol. At least it means I can stick to the easy opposition.
i know it is mate :-). just playin. think i might stop the nl20 thing in the day, its good as i play on my main computer and can have 6/8 tables open so i can get some volume in. then in the evening i got the lappy and sit with the wife watch telly etc and will only play 1or2 tables of 30 or 50. but swings at 20s seem worse (shouldnt be). when you having another home game?
idcu, are you around today for that fun best of 3/5???? If so post up here we'll play about 4ish. If anyone else wants a mess about game @ micros post up this afto plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Posted by DOHHHHHHH

50 ish games to go, running real bad at the min.
Think i will need to win 40 of the next 50 games to keep my ROI in dble figures.
Still unsure what will be a good sample size, dont think 1000 games is big enough.
Good luck JJ.

I don't normally (ever) post mid session, but If I don't I'm prob gonna quit, or tilt.
Having an absolute nightmare, my last few games are below (lost tonnes before these)
Gonna have 10 mins off and come back & hopefully break even for the day.
Az ya can see I've been quite disciplined so far, but losing every single game!
Anyone want a fun game? Best of 3/5/7/9 @ £1 hypers or something to de-tilt me?
Post up we'll get something going.
Until then.....
