I imagine the quality is usualy a lot higher was fun as I dont like the DYM anyway I find them boring lol But I can also see the HU play has a major advantage for MTT for FT so I may try some more
Guys its me......
I think there may be a problem with my PMs because my replies from you havent come through and theres nothing on here to me??? Ohhhhhhh you may of wanted us to keep our work quiet..... I get ya.... Sorry, ile email you from now on.....
Anyway.....
Im not sure how you have been getting on but ive been struggling. The Bingo players are SO secretive. Ive visited 6 clubs over the weekend and they haven't been interested in speaking to me. Ive tried to mingle, I even bought my own dabber (Thats the special pens they use) mine was red but ive threw it out now because I left it in my chinos and my mum washed them and now ive got a big red patch in the crotch where it leaked. I didnt realise until I went into greggs and the woman behind the counter started screaming because she thought I had been shot. I tried to explain to her that if I had been involved in a drive by type incident then the first thing on my mind wouldn't be a hot sausage roll but she wouldnt listen and just kept screaming. She didnt even know the answers to the bingo questions.... Strange woman!
Well anyway, they tried to avoid my questions in the bingo hall but I did corner one woman called Vera during the mid session interval and she slipped up and gave us our first clue. Now I am still looking into this but she said that during that game she was waiting for two fat ladies.... Now I dont know quite what they have to do with it but she seemed really upset that they never came. I think they may be involved in bringing the bingo players over to play poker so if we are going to figure out how to beat them, we need to find these large women.
One worrying thing is that they seem trained to focus on a really narrow range. I couldnt get anyone to confirm it but they only seem interested in Full Houses.... Infact some of the more boystrous ones kept shouting it out. They are trained to get FULL HOUSES.... How amazing is that! No wonder they keep winning on here, they dont even seem to care about top pair ect...
Right guys, keep your chins up because we are getting somewhere.... If we work hard and stick together we will beat these Bingo Players....
I will try and figure out why I havent been getting your PMs and as soon as I have any more info I will let you know.
Stay Strong
However grinding DYMs is not for everyone. You have to be able to turn off most of your brain, in particular 1) Your creative side and 2) your emotional side.
If you can turn yourself into a medieval village idiot like me then they are perfect for you.

Lambert played 4 more HU £5 won 3 out 4 but the only problem I am getting is they wont do a rematch with me not one of them do I smell lol I would love to give you a game so you can show me how bad I realy am if you up for it? Off to herbal docs in Edinburgh now so will be back at the tables latter.
Yeah I'd be up for giving you a game. I'm good but I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a huge edge against you because you're not stupid, you playing tourneys and know your stuff. Most people just don't understand that when it's 20/40, 25/50, 30/60 how short they are, and how wide the should be shoving/calling.
Going to try and post and update using the beta version of scope, just to see if it copies ok. And also a slight brag that my form has picked up.
Didn't get round to posting last night's results last night cos I was knackered when I finished. I'll do it today, with the results of a (hopefully) winning session today. But you can see from Splashies post anyway how many games I've played and my profit/loss so yeah.
I'm due another 12 win streak I think
I'd still rather play bad players obviously. So often when it gets to like 20/40 or 25/50 it will go something like this jam/fold, jam/fold, jam/fold, then I pick up AA (or something good) I jam again thinking, they're gonna be well sick of this now and call cos they know I can't always have a hand... No they just fold down to 3BBs instead lol.
One guy the other day, limp/folded from a 3BB stack lol.
Last night I played 54 games and won 26 for a loss of £23.50
Then today I played 48 games and won 26 for a profit of £8.00

So frustrating that my profits are dwindling away a bit, when I know I'm playing well. I know this horrid run of luck will not last forever, just gotta keep playing through it. Still gonna be £42+ up in C4P by the end of my 1000 games, and still think I can get back to £100+ profit for the month.

By the way Splashies, I liked whatever form of Sharkscope you were using that showed more accurate ROIs and profit and stuff rather than rounded to whole numbers.
I'm aiming to get to the 500 game mark by the end of tomorrow. Looking to smash the 1000 games if possible.
I'm sure JJ will catch up soon... any more bank holidays in June?
So anyway, things seemed a bit more back to normal tonight, some good luck going my way when I got it in 88 v A7 and flopped quads, and then other times not so much like when I get 77 in pre against QQ and he flops quads lol. But I think overall it was pretty even tonight, not too many horrible beats given or received.
I played 39 games tonight and won 22 of them for a £15.25 profit

So that leaves me with 97 games to play tomorrow if I wanna reach half way by the end of tomorrow. Not completely unreasonable, I've done sessions around that length before. Glad to see my ROI is back above 2%
On reflection, i think that because the edge in these is fairly small even when you're miles better than the opponent, facing someone who is seriously running good no matter how bad they are, is just too hard a task.
I chose to play on against the bad opponent and just proceeded to get luckboxed in possibly the worst night of bad beats I've ever experienced in poker.
Last night I felt completely sick and for a bit of this morning too, but I've got my head back in a better place now and I know that it's definitely not a big enough hit that's gonna hold me back from making an overall profit for the month. I suspect I won't win the ROI challenge now, I certainly wouldn't wish a session like mine on either of you but oh well, guess I'll be having a silly avatar for 2 weeks lol.
In terms of playing vs the same player. I'd probably just quit if they're running like God. Only on the basis that it'd inevitably effect my play. If you can say hand on heart, you're not playing any differently than at the beginning of the session, then carry on.
I'm playing a few games now and only 1tabling just to ease myself back in.
Listened to some more of that poker mindset audio book and realised I need to treat every session as a fresh start, forget about the money I've lost and just be happy with each winning session and not think about what my BR used to be.
Another point but this is more about my game, I think I'm 3betting limpers too much when I have decent hands like K9 and finding myself in no man's land when they inevitably call everytime, I miss, and then don't know if I'm giving up and being weak cos I'm OOP or bluffing into a station who is gonna call with bottom pr
1 bad session m8 doesn,t make u a bad player...

So I guess it's about time I post up the results of last night's catastrophe. 've explained what happened in my previous posts so ust in terms of stats... I played 83 games and only won 35
Only way is to just get back on the horse, so I played 31 games earlier today, won 17 for a £7.25 profit. Slow and steady I'll get back in the black.

Bit sad to see for the first time in the month, I'm in the red, but I've been on many big swings throughout the month so far, and I'm sure there are more to come. On the bright side, I am more than 50% of the way through my games and earned £16+ in C4P so that's half my losses accounted for.
