Getting the most ridiculous calls today and having them get lucky against me. The next person who limps then calls an all in for half their stack with K3 and hits, or the next person who calls an all in with J5 and hits need shooting. 4 moronic (harsh, but that's the only word to describe it, really) calls by opponents, all on the bubble have cost me £22 altogether. p#@*ed off is an understatement. Don't mind running my pocket jacks into AA twice, that's poker, but when people play bingo in DYM's, it kills their profitability and that of the person they're calling, too, then it's just infuriating.
Hoping I bink an iPad for my troubles... >_>
£2.25 DYM - W5 L6, -£4.75
£3.30 DYM - W1 L3, -£7.20
£5.50 DYM - W0 L1, -£5.50
£5.50 Timed Donkfest - 99 vs AK AIPF, flop = QJT...Sigh.
EDIT: Played a couple of orbits on an NL4 table, +£0.61
Bankroll: £93.84 (Including C4P Due and £50 deposit)
Didn't play yesterday, lost a £3.30 DYM (Client freaked out and Customer Care didn't want to give my money back) so stopped playing tonight - Might play some NL4 later though, just to build up my bankroll as much as anything. Still need to put in some serious volume if I want to get to my targets for this month.
Oh, and I binked an SPT Brighton seat on the live show competition Always seem to win stuff when James is presenting and there's a competition, 2/2 now
Saw a very soft £16.50 DYM, which I was so tempted to reg for, as it had 2 guys who I consider to be weaker regulars @ £1.15, but decided against it with my BR. Played NL4 instead.
£1.15 DYM - W0 L1, -£1.15
00:50 - 02:23, 8 x NL4: +£1.79 (Was 4-5 tables most of the time due to being sat out on several tables, don't think I was ever playing 8 tables all at once)
03:30 - 04:35, 5 x NL4: +£8.49
(13 C4P during that time, pretty farcical tbh)
9am, £25 GTD (Rebuy) - 32/44, 3 rebuys, -£4.40, don't think I've ever been on a more clueless table in my life. And they only had fold buttons when I picked up pocket aces, pocket jacks, or flopped a straight. Everything else? Family pot, or they can't fold because you don't have a hand and you're stealing the big blind from the away player. Sigh.
Sunday Survivor - Qualified for Monday
League Stars Freeroll - 122/197, Got up to about 6k chips, before AQ < KQ on a Q high board, 4 hearts, opponent had the king of hearts, pretty sick. Short stacked UTG+1, 3 bet shoved over the top of Gliterbabe with AT and ran into someone else behind me with TT (probably a mistake). Then had no other choice other than to go all in with K3 in the big blind a couple of hands later, up against KJ, game over.
Bankroll: £104.16 (Including C4P Due and £50 deposit)
Today : +£3.73
C4P: 255
February C4P Target: 3000 (£42)...Err, this isn't going to happen, is it? lol
He was playing the board ! lol Posted by Dudeskin8
I didn't even notice that until you posted, even better lol.

Monday 13th February:
£1.15 DYM - W1 L0, +£0.85
1 x NL4, 5 hands: +£0.60 - Saw someone go all in 4 hands in a row, joined table, they didn't reload but took 60p from the other guy at the table anyway, before leaving.
8 x NL4, 10:33 - 12:27, 957 hands: +£0.32 - Lessons learnt: Turn facebook chat off when playing that many tables. And 34 C4P? Pretty rubbish tbh.
Monday Survivor: Out (Fell asleep, didn't play a hand, lol)
Bankroll: £105.93 (Including C4P Due and £50 deposit)
Opened up 8 x NL4 tables, spent most of the session clicking the "Get chips" button. Some really sick outdraws, although I had a couple of FH vs FH hands go my way too. Besides, opponents getting their money in on the flop with 4% equity = printing money. Seemed to have this weird thing where I hit loads of sets, but nobody wanted to pay me off when I had one.
8 x NL4, 10:08 - 13:56, 1966 hands, -£11.36 (+87 C4P, including happy hour) - Pretty swingy session - Started off going £15 down, then back to about £5 profit, before going down to -£15, coming back to break even, then going down to -£15 for a third time. Got back to -£11, but was getting tired so decided to leave before spewing any more money.
Will probably leave cash alone for a few days, not sure if it's a good idea to be playing so many tables with not much of a bankroll. I hit about a million sets but don't think I stacked anyone with a set all day, might just have been one of them days, but more likely that I need to look at how I'm playing small pairs pre flop, and figure out why I'm not stacking people.
Don't think I played particularly well either, not because of the number of tables but just playing hands that I shouldn't have been playing, so need to reassess what hands I'm playing and from which position.
Will also post some of the bigger pots in here either later if I'm watching the live show tonight.
Bankroll: £94.57 (Including C4P Due and £50 deposit) Today : -£11.36 C4P: 388 February C4P Target: 3000 (£42)
Jesus, 8 tables of NL4 for 2 hours and just 34 C4P that's insane, I remember getting around 36 with 4 tables for the same amount of time...... Posted by Dudeskin8
It was 2 points per 20 raked hands, now it's 1 lol
hi Evil, regarding number of tables u r playing. i went through a spell about a year ago where i was playing 8 -10 tables@nl4 and simply not able 2 win. i was coming out of sessions level which at that time,i was happy with. as i was making around £75-£100 on c4p each month. i am now playing 6 tables@nl4 and am winning. think it is almost certainly due to my play has improved,but i find just playing the 6 i can also focus more on what each player is up to,rather than simply playing my 2 cards, as i deffo did back then. it,s just a thought, might be worth a try!
as Dude says, the c4p is only half what it used 2 b @nl4 i used to get about 4 points per table per hour. 6 tablesx4 hours,was nearly 100 pts now it,s alot less. haven,t even bothered 2 work out what i,m on now, but sure it,s only 1/2.

Just out of interest how can you be playing dodgy hands when 8-tabling, surely you 8-table so it's basic rock ABC style ?
Posting some the hands where I won or lost a pot bigger than £1 in yesterday's session - There's 34 of them altogether, so I'll post the ones that aren't just standard AA vs KK AIPF type hands.

5) Not too sure what to make of this one, 3 bet folding @ NL4 seems terrible, but idk? Didn't want to fold AQ, but didn't want to call all in with it once I've been set all in.
Started off by running terribad - Got an early double up in 1 DYM - then went downhill from there. Won't bore everyone with bad beat stories, but KK AIPF vs two limp/callers and end up with the worst hand at the end...Yeah, that's pretty annoying. Finished the DYM's I had already started before going to play Madden to de-tilt. I was having too much fun slaughtering the Kansas City Chiefs to come back and play Poker :P
£1.15 DYM - W3 L4
Bankroll: £94.32 (Including C4P Due and £50 deposit)
Pretty good day today, won a few quid on sports betting (although I don't record that on here), Leeds won 3-2, although Doncaster should've won 9-3 with the amount of chances they had, lol. And my pick-the-horse-with-the-best-name tactic in the Forum Naps table was successful today, too
Played 8 NL4 tables this morning, tightened up a bit (stopped playing with hands like Q10 in the small blind...Just throw it away!), and finished with a £3.46 profit. Seemed to work pretty well, and I only lost a full buy in once all session (And that was TT vs QQ, all in on an ATx board, queen on the turn). There was an ongoing theme throughout the session of getting AJ, raising, then missing the flop. Got AJ about a million times and hit once. No joke. Variance FTW.
DYM session went slightly worse, got a few really, really crazy calls, generally ran pretty bad, although finishing the session with a few cashes made my results look a bit more respectable. Couple of things I was pleased with, 28 games and I was only the first person out once (Coolered AIPF with AA, too), although I bubbled way more often than I would have liked.
Sleep pattern now resembles that of a normal human being at last, which is probably a good thing as I'm back at College on Monday (Less time for Poker, sigh...) - Will hopefully transfer money from savings account to the bank tomorrow so I can sort out train tickets/accommodation for SPT Brighton.

£1.15 DYM - W13 L15, -£6.20
8 x NL4, 09:09 - 11:47, 1289 hands, +£3.46
Bankroll: £91.56 (Including C4P Due and £50 deposit)
Didn't play at all today - spent most of the day on the Xbox playing Madden instead. Binked free entry to the Sky Sports BH on Thursday on the live show, so will throw in the extra £3.30 and go for the jackpot
To be honest, I've only bothered to read your OP lol but wow you only had £50 at the end of December? I thought you were like a hardcore playing who crushed MTTs, or am I confusing you with another penguin...

I don't crush anything, unfortunately May be getting me mixed up with Penguin7? I don't know.
Oh well, keep it up, you've still made a pretty decent increase on your starting BR. The way I see it with myself is that I have a great hobby which is absolutely free because I've worked up a good bankroll and am good enough to never go bust.
Played for about 3 hours before getting something to eat. Came back and played the £2.30 BH at 1:45. Second hand, AK vs KJ, all in on a KJx flop. Down to 20 chips. Then the nearly-epic comeback, quadrupled up with A8 when all in on the big blind, another double up with KQ AIPF, a treble up with A8, another double up with A4 and I'm back up to 1k chips. Sucked out with A7 v A9, then shoved on 4 limpers when I woke up with QQ in the big blind, got a caller and the hand held up. So I'm up to 2,700 chips, 14th out of 28 with 8 paid, so decent chance of cashing. No bounties though. Unfortunately, 10's vs J7dd vs another hand which was mucked at showdown, AIPF, and J7 rivered a flush to send me out in 16th. A treble up would've put me on 7k chips, given me a bounty, and almost guaranteed a cash. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be. Definitely reminds you to never give up in tournament poker when something like that happens, though.
7 x NL4, 09:12 - 11:58, +£16.91
£1.15 DYM - W1 L0, +£0.85
13:45 Bounty Hunter (£2.30 Buy in) - £0.00, no bounty. 19:30 All Rounders League (£5.50 Buy in) - Spewed everything in the first level, sent me being a donk in to the show too just for the lolz. (53rd/56)

EDIT: Played a couple of orbits on an NL4 table, +£0.61
Oh, and I binked an SPT Brighton seat on the live show competition Always seem to win stuff when James is presenting and there's a competition, 2/2 now
Opened up 8 x NL4 tables, spent most of the session clicking the "Get chips" button. Some really sick outdraws, although I had a couple of FH vs FH hands go my way too. Besides, opponents getting their money in on the flop with 4% equity = printing money. Seemed to have this weird thing where I hit loads of sets, but nobody wanted to pay me off when I had one.
8 x NL4, 10:08 - 13:56, 1966 hands, -£11.36 (+87 C4P, including happy hour) - Pretty swingy session - Started off going £15 down, then back to about £5 profit, before going down to -£15, coming back to break even, then going down to -£15 for a third time. Got back to -£11, but was getting tired so decided to leave before spewing any more money.
Will probably leave cash alone for a few days, not sure if it's a good idea to be playing so many tables with not much of a bankroll. I hit about a million sets but don't think I stacked anyone with a set all day, might just have been one of them days, but more likely that I need to look at how I'm playing small pairs pre flop, and figure out why I'm not stacking people.
Don't think I played particularly well either, not because of the number of tables but just playing hands that I shouldn't have been playing, so need to reassess what hands I'm playing and from which position.
Will also post some of the bigger pots in here either later if I'm watching the live show tonight.

regarding number of tables u r playing.
i went through a spell about a year ago
where i was playing 8 -10 tables@nl4
and simply not able 2 win.
i was coming out of sessions level
which at that time,i was happy with.
as i was making around £75-£100 on c4p
each month.
i am now playing 6 tables@nl4
and am winning.
think it is almost certainly due to my play
has improved,but i find
just playing the 6 i can also focus more on what each player
is up to,rather than simply playing my 2 cards,
as i deffo did back then.
it,s just a thought,
might be worth a try!
as Dude says,
the c4p is only half what it used 2 b @nl4
i used to get about 4 points per table per hour.
6 tablesx4 hours,was nearly 100 pts
now it,s alot less.
haven,t even bothered 2 work out what i,m on now,
but sure it,s only 1/2.
best wishes
devon
Coolers/Bad beats from yesterday:
1) Start of the session, forgot that fold equity doesn't exist @ NL4
Or is this just some kinda challenge?
