    Posted by scotty77
    Probably 4NL, yep - And I'll definitely keep the moves in the locker, I made that mistake when I first joined the site, trying to make moves against them and wondering how they could call with bottom pair lol.

    Hi Evil
    Firstly, that monitor set-up sounds more like an apollo mission control room!!! If it works for you then good stuff.

    Secondly, i did maths and further maths at a level and a maths degree at university too before becoming a maths teacher. I was very lucky as i liked the subject at junior school and found a magical teacher at high school called Mike Howarth. Its true that a love for the subject is needed but i would say that the topics you choose to study are important too. I did a degree at Aberystwyth University because it was a unit course. the first year we covered aspects in pure, applied and statistics along with computing. In the second year we chose what to concentrate on. I stdied relativity and quantum mechanics but there were prerequisites with that. I must say, however, that the standard of the a level mathematics has been watered down considerably in recent years. This is probably due to successive governments wanting maths etc to appear on the up, results-wise.
    I'd certainly consider a grounding course so that you can consider specialising in second and third years. Hope this helps Evil. cheers.....

    Not on the laptop atm and can't be bothered loading it up to access my records, so no exact figures, meh, doesn't matter :P

    Sunday 20th May:

    4 x 4NL, -£0.49

    Time for the inevitable "I tried to triple barrel a fish and guess what, he called!" post. Despite Rancid's warning, we all knew it was going to happen at some point ;)

    Start of a session, waiting lists everywhere and nobody starting tables, so I chose to start a table. The player who joined me sat with a full stack, and was on one of my other tables. Being lazy, I didn't check "Find a Player" to see how many tables he was actually playing, I just assumed he's on more than 1 table, plus sat with a full stack on both = Player with a fold button and some understanding of Hold'em.

    This lead to me triple barreling (Still HU at this point), only to get called on 2 streets then get a load of chips back in my face on the river. I decided against hero calling with J8 high or whatever I had, which was marginal as I rivered the Orford straight, but probably the correct fold. It wasn't until after the hand that I realised he only had those 2 tables open and wasn't particularly fond of using the fold button.

    Note to self: Make notes, then make moves. Not the other way around.

    Also withdrew £23 to pay off the debt I apparently "owe" to my old College as debt collectors turning up about the same time as my new computer doesn't sound much fun to me... (see earlier post for that story) - Will re-deposit this money when I can, or get it back through free bets on Skybet, either way it's going back in my roll.

    Monday 21st May

    No Poker today, but some real life stuff which may be of interest. Had my interview with Cirencester College today, and I'm now guaranteed a place next year, provided that I turn up for the Freshers' day thing at the beginning of July and Enrolment in August. Even better than that, I've managed to convince them to let me do both AS and A2 Further Maths next year (For those who aren't familiar, A level is 2 years, AS is the first year of an A level course, and A2 is the second year), so with any luck, I'll have 3 A Levels by the end of next year and be going to University :D 

    Only drawback is that it takes me 2 hours to get from my house to the College, which means getting up at like, 5am every day next year to get to College on time, which is an epic fail, but it's worth it I guess. I'll just take down the Super Roller next weekend and get myself a car, problem solved.

    Oh, and on a slightly less serious note, I saw a chav on roller skates, smoking a cigarette in the middle of Sainsbury's today )

    Yeah i agree, there is a huge jump from A-Level mathematics to Degree level mathematics. I think i've got in the swing of things as the first year draws to a close. For your interest the fist year consisted fo the following modules: Calculus, Sets, Probability, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Mechanics and Sequences/Series.
    I think in my 2nd year we get a little flexibility modules-wise. Probably going to go for alot of mechanics with it being the most interesting.

    Playing TAG, I wouldn't need as many buy-ins. I wouldn't be able to play as many tables at 8NL though, because I'd have a fairly large % of my bankroll in play, so for the time being, I think 4NL would probably be the better option.

    Also, once I get my new computer, I want to find out what is the optimal amount of tables for me to be playing. Whether that's 4 or 24, I don't know, but the cheapest place for me to find out is 4NL.

    New computer arrives in 10-12 working days from when I ordered it, so I'm expecting it at the beginning of June.

    I posted the specs a couple of pages back, it's custom built from pcspecialist.co.uk and cost around £1.3k - Was previously playing between 9 and 12 DYMs, but with so much overlap that I could only see my own cards, and loads of lag because the RAM on my current PC is rubbish. 

    The new computer should be able to play 24 tables with no problems, whether I'll be able to or not though, we'll find out :P

    Tuesday 22nd May

    Started off with a short but frustrating 4NL session, kept missing everything or hitting one pair and then having to sigh fold ¬_¬ Got bored of sigh folding, and bleeding money every time I raised and missed, so I tilted and snap called a 3bet shove from a random with 88, he had JJ. Decided to stand shortly after.

    Not sure whether to be gutted or delighted with the main and mini. Got into the main for free, and registered for the mini. Felt like I played really well, I was in the top 20 or so of both for a long time, and there was a time when I was chip leader in the mini and in the top dozen or so in the main when I thought the jackpot was mine. Unfortunately bubbled the main JJ < AA all in pre flop, then had my Kings cracked by 4s in the mini with 9 left.

    Delighted with how I played but at the same time, only £20 to show for it, which is really disappointing and also shows why I'm probably never going to be a tournament grinder any time soon )

    4 x 4NL, -£7.09

    £5k Open (Free) - 31/263, £0.00. Bubbled, sigh.
    £1k Mini Open (£3.30) - 9/332, £20, KK < 44 AIPF, first card on the flop was a 4.

    Bankroll: £185.68 (+£23)
    Today: +£9.61

    ^ Posted a big 4NL pot from today's session above, got to love a free flop :)

    Got a free flop with K4 and got stacked by K6 though, flop K42 and all the money went in, turn J, river J, which meant my opponent's 6 kicker played. Ouch :(

    Wednesday 22nd May

    Won some money at 4NL, lost it all trying to win the free BH seat in Richard Orford's Timed Tournament Play the Presenter thingy. Too much added value to not go for it though, given the very beatable highest ROI at the time, which was basically a double up and a couple of blind steals.

    Just playing for fun at the moment, I'm hoping my computer is delivered before the start of June, so I can do some serious grinding and get my roll back up next month.

    I've also signed up on another site (The one with the "I want in" advert), having got somebody to refer me. I plan to deposit something on there, get whatever deposit and welcome bonuses I receive from them, as well as their refer a friend bonus, then probably not play on there again except for the occasional live satellite if there's anything that interests me :P

    I'd suggest not deviating from your bread and butter too much Pingu, especially now that your BR is alot smaller. Are you still playing DYMs along side your cash? Maybe £3 games.

    Posted by Lambert180
    Agree, the only reason I played the timed tournaments yesterday was because of the added value of the Bounty Hunter seat, plus how easy I thought the target was to beat at that time - Thought I'd be stupid to not give it a go.

    As for DYMs - I'm not playing them at the moment. I think that 4NL is probably the quickest way of building my bankroll for the time being. £3.30 DYMs won't give me a massive ROI, and below that the rake is ridiculous, so although I could play them, it'll take forever to rebuild my roll that way. May play a few at the end of the month if the C4P is really close to 3k, and I can get there with DYMs but not 4NL, but I can't see myself playing anything other than 4NL for a while tbh.

    Yes, I have just noticed that according to my diary, it's been the 22nd of May since Tuesday. Epic Fail.

    Once again, no Poker today. With exams, Poker isn't at the top of my list of things to do at the moment, unfortunately. No more exams until next Thursday, then a week off, so hopefully I'll get a few hours in between now and then, and build my roll back up a bit.

    I don't mind anyone asking anything on here tbh :)

    Dad's attitude towards me playing Poker is still not great. Thankfully, since I withdrew the money and paid for a new computer and he's seen me spending money on real stuff, he's realised that "The house always wins" isn't true. 

    It's definitely one step forwards and two steps back, though - He's got into the habit recently of saying things like "What would your Mother think of you playing Poker?", knowing fully that if my Mum was still alive, the internet would've probably have been disconnected if I was caught playing Facebook Poker. 

    I get asked that several times a week, so it's pretty obvious that he only does it to try and p%^& me off. I think it's his way of saying "I don't want you to play Poker", whilst trying to use my Mum as a way to guilt trip me into doing what he wants. It's pretty pathetic that he feels he has to stoop to that level in an attempt to stop me from doing something that I enjoy, but meh, I'll live.

    Just been catching up with your blog, was surprised that you cashed out to get the new computer gear but as you say, you have something to show for your endless hours of grinding. I guess if you manage to bink another mtt and buy a car with the money, your dad will really sit up and take notice. 

    You seem like a very level headed young chappie, its great to hear about your life around poker. Sometimes people forget that poker is a hobby but it can become all consuming. I hope you dont mind me offering you some advice, go to uni, its a great life something I regret on missing out on. Let poker fund your studies and if you become stupendously good at it, you've got a choice when your degree finishes to turn pro or join the daily 9 to 5 grind. This is spreading risk in a way and giving you multiple options. 

    Theres too many blogs that focus on winning at poker, and when the losing streak starts you dont hear a dicky bird. You post whether you win, lose or draw which is to be commended.

    hi Evil,
    nice posts as always.
    i encountered a similar feeling to your dads about why i shouldn't,t be playing poker either...
    the house always wins,it,s just gambling,throwing your money away,all that stuff...
    FROM MY MOTHER....LOL
    but now...she loves it.
    i just tell her how much i,ve won...
    haven,t seen her since "the other night...that i,m not going to talk about again...ever."  lol
    and she,s happy that i,m happy.!!!
     mind you,i can see why she doesn,t approve of real gambling....
    as her 1st husband(my dad),did lose 3 houses that they owned(were buying),
    1 in Bath
    1 in Bristol
    and 1 in Exeter...i think,never really talked about  it fully.
    all on the gg,s

    anyway,
    just thought i,d share that with you.

    Saturday 26th May

    Finally got back on the tables today. My 4NL session, which lasted about an hour, went badly. Ended up losing just under £10 - Looked through my hand history and I think that about £3 of that is hands that I could've got away from, the rest is just running bad.

    Down to 24 x 4NL buyins now, so will have to reconsider my plans for rebuilding my roll as multitabling 4NL with such a small roll is reckless - The only thing that would tempt me to carry on playing 4NL instead of something else is knowing that I'll get at least £32 in C4P, so that gives me a bit more room to maybe have one more 4NL session, hopefully win a BI or two and start winning again.

    I'm still registered for the Super Roller because I registered before I withdrew my roll, although I'm not 100% sure if I'll still play. Really love the structure in these things, but at the same time, adding that £110 to my roll would be really useful. See how the next few days go and I'll decide closer to the date.

    I'm knackered so I'll reply to the above posts tomorrow.

    I think anything above 20 buy-ins is fine at the low stakes because your edge is huge over the average player. But at the end of the day it just comes down to confidence. Best of luck deciding with the super roller. Maybe try to sat your way into it?

    just catching up on the thread evil love reading this thread but don`t really post on it.

    I think you should keep reg in the super roller treat yourself,also think 24 bi`s at 4nl should not be a problem for yourself you are easily good enough to get keep movin up these stakes and be at the likes of 20nl in a few weeks maybe even higher.

    but best of luck at the tables buddy

    Yeah 24 BIs is definitely enough, and with an extra £32 coming in about 1 week, you got plenty for 4NL. You already know to drop the fancy play syndrome. Rancid said something very interesting and very true to The Don the other day about 4NL, that if you're having tough decisions then you're doing something wrong.

    I'd be tempted to de-reg and get the £110, I'm sure you could satellite in for less if you wanted to use some of that £110 and if you wanna build your bankroll back up, £110 in your pocket is alot more useful than 1 shot at a big MTT.

    Sunday 27th May

    As mentioned in the previous post, I was considering de-registering from the Super Roller. Decided that I needed the £110 in my roll so have now de-registered for the time being.

    This leaves me with just over £200, which is enough to get back to playing £5.50 DYMs. Just four of these tonight while watching the live show, should've been 4 wins from 4 and a sizeable boost to the bankroll, but ran really bad. As in JJ < J4 when villain calls a shove pre and losing when he rivers a 6 high straight bad. 

    May re-enter the Super Roller, depending on how I do in the next few days - I really want to play it as I love the structure, and the possibility of winning a lot of money at the end of it too. Don't want to do what I did in the Easter Roller, which was spend so much on satellites then buy in direct anyway, and spend so much in the process that a min cash would've still resulted in a net loss.

    Although setting money targets is probably a bad idea, I'm tempted to set one, buy in direct if I grind out enough profit over the next few days, and watch on telly otherwise. Want to play so bad but want to be a bankroll nit at the same time )

    Will start replying to the posts above shortly - Might do all of them before going to bed, might not, idk. If I don't reply to any of them now, I'll definitely reply tomorrow.
