Just finished a session of 2 tabling 50nl and started off playing very laggy and was quickly £80 down. Tightened up and then managed to end with a profit of £115 on the session.
Longest session yet at 490 hands (well to me that's long lol) and some really great variance, TPTK beaten by straight draw for 76bb's, a proper lolz one, AK beat by J10 on AQ4 flop yeah that was fun, oh and a fridge freezer AQ against AA where I cudn't fold. Clawed back a bit late on to only finish 1/2 a BI down which was very positive tbh. Start BR - £290.54
I liked this thread last month so I will participate again. As I mentioned before, I play for fun, so I will only play games I enjoy, which are PLO/PLO8 MTTs with the odd NLHE deepstack thrown in (mostly forum DTD). I still want to improve as a player and remain a winning player, so my goal for the month is to turn a profit, and I would like to have a good showing in OHL2. I got off to a pretty good start today. I played just about every PLO MTT as well as 3 PLO8 tourneys. I played 9 PLO bounty hunters, won 3, got some bounties in 3 and busted 3 empty-handed. I didn't cash 2 £1.10 PLO8s but finished runner-up in a £3.30 mtt for my best PLO8 score in a while. In the evening I played the 3 £20gtd PLO mtts and cashed 2 as runner-up. The last one was the craziest I have ever seen. People were potting and shoving left and right and I was somewhat lucky to get 2 or 3 double-ups and just stay out of the way until the others had knocked each other out. I started heads-up about 12-1 dog, got it back to even but the lost to a typical Omaha hand where I was ahead with a straight without redraws and was outtrawn to a bigger straight. Overall 6 cashes out of 15 played for a profit of £23.18, and right now I'm in the top 20 of the MTT league. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Posted by Giant811
After playing all day yesterday I took it easy today, maybe I shouldn't have. I min-cashed the PLO freeroll, bubbled a £1.10 PLO8, took down a PLO bountyhunter and won a £3.30 PLO8.
3 cashes out of 4 for a profit of £23.01 today, October balance £46,19. Bankroll is now over 3 times my initial deposit for the first time.
Succumbed to the temptation of the MTT. Played Primo, mini primo and mini roller for a total of £83. Didn't cash in any of them. Can say on the positive side that in Primo and mini primo I was ahead and all-in before the river on my exit hands. Really do thimk it is only a matter of time before I crack one of these. This is beginning to sound like a stuck record I am afraid. Played some 50nl and was able to post a profit of £53.
Just a quick update tonight cos watching primo late stages and scotty just went out in 7th as i type wp though m8 and nearly hit one of your goals for the month in first 2 days, no doubt will by the end though gl
Played quite alot today on cash and MTTs
Cash was all pretty standard stuff until my last session where the site seemed to be going 3 betting mad ! either they all read the same book or they all had AA few badbeats but mainly ok.
Primo i lasted about 7 hands when i decided to myself my 1010 was infront on the river on a 4568k board v a solid reg who prob bluffs there zero times (mybad). I seem to have these rushes of blood to the head from time to time
As rentisdue mentioned, I ran deep in the Primo and came 7th for 500 quid. Was a decent cash but obviously wanted to go further, but still happy with how I played thru the tournie especially from around the bubble to my exit.
Not happy with my performance in the roller. Think I came 15th or so but made some bad calls. My exit hand was standard tho and couldn't hvae done anything different with a sub25bb stack.
Cash has been going well too and am pleased with the decisions I'm making.
Total profit so far this month is 2.2k with a C4P figure of 4256.
Id like to do this on my mtt for the month, So i have a £75.00 bankroll for this - 5.50 for tonights 3 tournaments.I also won fri orfordable was that oct...SO as it stands £69.50 With 3 torns to run and hopefully if i cash well i will enter the primo this month that is my aim..

Operation run good hit a minor bump today. Doneted my buy-ins to the DTD, 2 decent finishes in the 40s and 20s, but no cashes. Only managed 2 min-cashes in a PLO BH and a £1.10 PLO8, didn't cash in a £3.30 PLO8 and a £20gtd PLO.
2 cashes out of 7, balance today -£11.31, month to date balance £+£34.88.
One hand on £100nl i raised AA in ep and got reraised behind from the table loon, i then made it 44bbs and he flats with 88 and hits 8 on flop (just lol) set minning for half his stack, you gotta love em
Had a number of very bad suckouts v me but its all just standard and will even out in the end so wont bother typing them.
Cash on day -£229.42
MTTs i played main and mini with a cash in main and about 5-6 heads i think.
played 2 sessions yesterday both cut short by internet problems. over all down £3.09 which could have been alot worse as I was down 2 buy ins at one point, but I was on a roll the second time and felt I could have recovered all the loss. Ah well! some REALLY BAD play by me sometimes and then I came across a guy who just didn't miss! overall was on about 6 tables at different times. people kept standing which is a pain when you've begun to work them out a bit and are hoping to recover the early blinds you've lost.
Couple of small sessions yesterday, one big mistake otherwise steady profit of £6.56. Also got a 'birthday bonus' of £5 ) Account £112.86, 73 points. Posted by harding10
Hardly played last month due to daughters bday and spending a week in vegas, then didn't feel like playin when i got back. Will start back on the grind 2mora, need 2 try n recoup some money, pretty certain last month was the most expensive of my life!
Gonna target 12k C4P, need 10k min 2 remain in priority, if it goes well i'll try and make 16k. Never set a profit target, i know if I put in the volume some kind of profit will come eventually!
Another long session after a break yesterday, 490 hands, pretty decent session mainly defined by two coolers TPTK v set and set vs flopped flush both I don't think would be right to get away from and both daddy 1 BI pots, also a smaller pot AA v KQ and AJ which was just sick after the KQ flatted a 35bb raise pre lol and binked 2pair. Luckily though had loads of winning pots over 20bbs, 12 all in all which helped me just creap into profit which was great after those losing hands.
Will just update this now and put any p/l from this point onto tomorrows post.
Only played cash games today and only from 12am to 4am this morning because been busy all day.
Played 6x£100nl tables and 1x£200nl in 2 sessions and ran pretty well. Biggest pot of the night was when i raised with 67diamonds on £200nl and get 1 caller holding 34dias, by turn there are 3dias on board and the rest is history as they say, cooler really on a 6max table without good reads etc.
Also won a buyin on a £100nl when raising with 10J suited v AK and flop coming down QKA i lead out £9 and my oppo does all the work for me and pushes for £100 lol, was expecting to see the blinds go up 2mins after that because it seemed a bit of a MTT play to me but to be fair he prob was never folding so i was getting it anyway unless he binks his 4 outer but from his side of things he was never getting a call from me with worse than his holdings so the only thing his bet achieved was to protect against draws to the max .
Been a while since I had a proper winning session but always knew one was round the corner, this one had everything and plenty of freebies which I adore ! Also only ONE losing pot over 20bbs and that was a cooler against a shorty for 50bbs 2pr v set. This also takes me close to my highest ever BR and I haven't even added my C4P bonues from last month yet. Start BR - £290.54
Session - £28.68
Current BR - £344.66
Points - 267
------
Another session this evening, pretty stop start, first half an hour involved me bleeding around 50bbs through just blinds and calling raises with small pairs raising not hitting etc but then won AK v JJ to go back to break even. After that got to point where was £4 up then had AK v 99 me 2pr them set standard but a win near the end brought me to breka even once again.

Didn't play much over the last 2 days. Min-cashed a PLO bounty hunter yesterday that had the greatest luckbox I have ever seen. 3 big stacks aipf, luckbox has something like AKJx and hits running K on turn and river. He started 3 handed play with 32k out of 36k in play. Mbn. After that I somehow managed to miss registration for 2 £20gtd by seconds, so only played 2 £3.30 PLO8. Played bad, ran bad, no cashes. Today played 2 £20gtd, took down the first for a nice score (9 runners, so only 2 paid), but didn't cash the other one. Also finished 3rd in a £3.30 PLO8.
Over 2 days 6 played, 3 cashes, balance +£21.35, MTD balance +£56.23
Just a couple of small visits to the tables up until around 8pm tonight then i played 4-5 £100nl tables but there wasnt alot of value there so cut that session short aswell.
Played main and mini with no cashes
Played 1 hu stt v Rich Orford in his challenge and he crushed me (well played Rich if you read this and you owe me one for bigging you up )
Just played 7x £100nl tables before typing this and did ok but too tired to play so came off earlier than i normally would.
Cash profit on day = +£253.29 MTTs on day = -£25.30 HU v Rich (the master) Orford = -£5.25
Will update for my previous session before starting todays!
Losing session!!
The worst I've ever ran in an individual session in my life. Couple of bad beat threads in A51 for those sickos like myself that enjoy reading bad beat threads!!!
I only lost £15 in the end, which included a buy in @ nl30, I only played 5 tables for literally 5 minutesd and managed to lose a stack, he flatted my 3b OOP w/QQ and it came Q high dry rainbow, gg pocket aces.
I wanted to play on, but honestly couldn't see well enough to multi table.
Was actually up on the hypers despite losing 12 outta 13 to 1 guy who's -$800 over 200 games on skope. That's how I roll.
Monthly total....
£77 - 15 = +£62 lol.
Can't even use lack of volume as an excuse this time as 1021 points within a week isn't a bad effort for me!
