In Response to EvilPingu's Diary:

Current targets:  

1) £50 by end of November

2) Only play £1.15 DYM's and Freerolls until back over £25 again (+ Forum HU) [Complete] 

3) Progress as far as possible in Forum HU competition

4) Minimum 70% wins on £1.15 DYMs next month (min. 100 games) - If successful, try moving up to £2.25

1) £47 + £5 due in C4P, so I think I'll give myself that one.

2) Already completed

3) Knocked out in Round 3

4) Minimum 70% wins on £1.15 DYMs next month (min. 100 games) - If successful, try moving up to £2.25

Need some feedback on this one, played a few games @ £2.25 and £3.30 today, ended up with something like Won 3, Lost 3 at £2.25 and Won 2, Lost 2 at £3.30 - Don't think I played particularly good or bad, with the exception of my misclick all-in UTG with 88, thankfully nobody called though lol

Last month, Won 49, Lost 30 at £1.15, so just over 62% of games won. Should I stay at £1.15 and complete my target above, or just go up to £2.25? Or maybe just look for easier tables @ £2.25?

---

Targets for December:

1) Increase bankroll to £250 by the end of December 

2) Try to get into Top 150 STT players - Currently estimate I'll need 2,500 - 3,000 league points for this, have about 800 at the moment. 250-300 wins in £1.15 DYM's should be enough, hopefully.

3) Enter PLO freeroll whenever possible to build upon basic understanding of Omaha - Try to beat PB of 18th place.

4) Start taking notes on more players, more often.

5) Win 15 consecutive DYM's (Don't mind if I don't manage this, just something to aim for to make grinding less tedious. Current Record = 7)

Are you using the sharkscope tournament selector to help pick softer DYM's? might help your win %. Irishrover did and excellent DYM blog including tips on this last winter.

Nope, because I didn't know it even existed until reading this post - Wasn't expecting it to be free either!

I've read JohnConnor's blog, didn't know Irishrover did one too, will have to have a look for that later. Thanks for the help

Played a single £1.15 DYM yesterday, which I won. After midnight, played 2 tournaments, lost a race in one, the other one was a bit of a disaster, ended up on a table with someone who'd quadrupled up early on, and was just being super aggressive, I was card dead, got down to about 15 big blinds, got fed up and shoved, got called by the bully with 10 high and he flopped a straight.

Went to play some DYM's, found an £11 DYM which looked like good value, was even better value when I picked up kings twice and aces twice in the first 2 levels, and my opponents had big hands too. Ended up with over 7k chips, other guy had 3.5k, and 2 micro stacks. Was playing a £1.15 DYM at the same time, didn't play a single hand and won!

Yesterday: +£0.85

So far today: +£4.65

i remember watching that hand and my mouth just dropping when the card flipped over. nh. however in regards to that table, if i wasnt on all 5 NL4 tables running at tht point and there was 2 others i wouldnt have been there. Not really much value tbh.

Also one last thing a small bone. when we where 3 handed with a diff oppo who already proved to me anyways he was a fish you seemed intent on playing me OOP. Now im happy for you rto do this, but im suggesting in terms of take a step back for a few seconds, you have the dream seat on the table with posision on a Loose player but you almost seemed determined to stack me. To be honest i wasnt having a great session anyways so maybe i was good value lol. However on hand inparticular (if i can find it i will comment on - i cant)

anyways in this hand u raise SB with A8o i flat from BB. Flop came 5KQ with 2 spades. You check called, then donk lead a 5 on the turn. i flatted and river paired the K and it went check check.

Now on regards to that hand, you have the betting lead pre so id raise it up a little on the flop, niothing too much reo the flop. ok as it happens i had the nut flush draw so i probably at least call the flop. The c/c with no pair no draw then donk leading the turn makes so little sense and allows me to float to the river. As it happened i got great showdown value off that river, but should say any card but a K/Q come down im probably betting when you show further weakness on the river.

Trying to remember the hand - You had A9 I think and was a split pot? Will try and find it to post in here.

I thought about standing up a few times myself and probably should've in hindsight, I was just being lazy lol

Erm, yeah, I played this badly. As you said, should've bet on the flop. Don't really know why I check called. Came to my senses and realised I was only splitting the pot at best on the river, hence the check.

(EDIT: WTF is going on with my font colours?!)

Been playing more NL4 and DYM's again. Made around £35 today, £17 at NL4 and the rest in DYM's. Also came 8th in the PLO Freeroll for £2. The amount of people that pay you off with top pair is incredible. Great fun, and I definitely play better in Hold'em if I'm multitabling as I'm concentrating on everything so much more.

Bankroll up to about £80, still owed £5 C4P too. With any luck, I should be over the £100 mark in the next couple of days

nice work keep it going
