Decided to play a little alongside the Orfordable tonight but after a quick buzz and early quick profit I'll call it a night, only losing hand AQs R, M3bet by shorty I shove they have KK lol.
Start BR - £290.54
Session - £13.21
Current BR - £414.52
Points - 1447
1 cash out of 6, daily balance -£23.10, MTD balance +£201.88.
not a bad night until i decided to open a third table and got done by a couple of hands including QJ v my KK who stayed in for the straight
nevermind still up £7.57 for the night and £48.91 on the month.
points now 917
good luck
When I get my cash for points it will be pretty much have me breaking even. I had a shocking downswing on hypers and think I played too many of them, variance hasnt helped either. A lot of my poker performance is down to tempramant, ive bought the mental game of poker and aim to work on many aspects of my game in the coming months.
The saviour has been cash with a couple of very profitable sessions and me finally learning how to three table! I'll be focusing on cash more in November with a few hyper sessions to mix things up. Ive also decided that nl40 is a good place to start with not as many regs and the same cash for points on offer.
MTT performance is also on the way up, had a 11th place and 20th in ME's for october, showing a profit overall. Im waiting to crack my final table duck and cash big. Please let it be the 20k UKOPS BH on monday !
Cash session started with a few coolers at NL8 and finished break even.
+£120 ish
C4P 1560
Couple of BI's down, most of the damage done by marginal hands like AA and KK, with just a small contribution from JJ.
Session loss £8.37
Account £143.93
points 675

But yeah, never nice. I've been grinding DYMs recently. Had one the other day, I'm chip leader, small stack (still has just under 2k) raises pre, I stick him all in with KK, he calls with 22 and flops the 2 lol. Halves my stack, I bubble shortly after.
But seriously this week i'm down £40 on DYMs (normally profitable just having a bad streak) but i'm up £140 on cash.
I really do find NL20 and 30 easier, so maybe my playstyle's just suited against the opponents at this level?
As a purely recreational player i'm very happy with this return.
Be lucky.
In quiet a bit of profit tonight lol. Sat with 200 on a 10p/20p nl HU table and 113 on another 20nl hu table.
Best month by far for me since I started playing.
MTTs +£1400ish
STTs(DYMs) +£100ish
Cash NL20,30 and 50. £350ish
1694 points, so gonna get £15 C4P
NL4/NL8 is soul destroying and should only be played as an introduction to poker for a newbie to get used to things like position and starting hand selection. If you are still playing nl4/8 after 12 months grinding there either is something wrong with your game or you just wanna play for fun and risk the minimum.
Well played.
More rubbish, when you play cash it should all be about big blinds, even thinking about the amounts in play it shows you clearly don't have very good bankroll management as you are seeing the money in terms of actual currency you can go and spend and therefore it could influence the decisions you make which is terrible when playing.
Soul destroying....., it is just a level you need to progress through to get to the next one, some people might take longer to do that but not everyone is the same so hence get there at different stages and if you don't and just stay there does it really matter, it's their busniess what they play and if it's purely for fun that's fine too.
I didn't really track my profit this month; think I had about 120 or so in account after withdrawing 100/wk or thereabouts in September. Decided not to withdraw anything this month to grow BR and up over 400 now playing weekends only.
Tightened up some of my leaks and have become a lot more patient and disciplined, which shows in MTT results. Still make the odd poor decision about whether or not to continue in a hand but normally my instincts/inner nit save me before I bust out. My attitude to bubbling in DYMs is quite indifferent now (obviously I want to win but I don't stress when I don't win the high blinds lottery that is the bubble). Not sure if I should open my shoving/calling range on bubble when stacks are close in size, it's my next area for improvement.
PS: Anyone know if sky auto-reg me for UKOPS super sat? Won entry last night and no contact since.
Ah well - 3 sessions
first - down £4.42 - couldn't hit flop
2nd - up £5.86 - got lucky once with FH beating flus on river
3rd - £0.03 up! after being £5 up and then losing to better kicker with trips and straight flush to my FH. rechecked and actually down £2.92
overall up for month £47.31
points 1014
good luck
He will also know that you only bet when you have a hand on the flop, so when you bet and he has nothing he can fold and save chips knowing you're somewhat strong.
PS: If you mean you were just card dead, that can happen but shouldn't be an issue in cash where blinds are static.
GJ getting +1k points, that's another £15 on its way.
just one of those sessions
which level do you play? I should be up to nl8 next week.
Thanks.It is nice getting those cash 4 points. It has been this thread and last month's that have focused me.
If they 3 bet you constantly on flop you have to make a stand some time. Either check raise sometimes when you hit flop (and sometimes with air) so they have no idea what you're holding or else 4 bet shove to show you won't wilt to any pressure.
