Tonight's the night!
Hihi – going round in circles, o well )
Stacking people is great but winning 4 x 25 bb pots is the same thing )
Hear what your saying regarding people call more so why c bet more, well lol who said that :S
Like saying never bet because tight players always fold
Just because you c bet, doesn’t mean you get called by a better hand
Shouldn’t have to try so hard, NL4 players will make mistakes for you )
Unless nl4 has become really hard 2 beat !
Sometimes you just run breakeven, nothing you can do – stick at it )
I should probably point out, that I'm specifically talking about c-betting with air like c-betting AQo on K45r. Obviously with made hands like if I had AK on that flop I just bet, bet, bet. Imagine I c-bet in that spot (with the AQ), and get called, it's likely by some junk 4x, 5x, Kx or a PP of some sort, all of which I'm behind, and if the turn bricks, I got to check/fold.
Theres every chance my thought processes above are wrong cos I'm pretty rubbish but if I am, then please explain why the above is wrong.
if oppo calls pre wider then they just can't continue as much on the flop
the tighter player may even not require hitting the flop
feel much happier c betting versus a wide calling range pre

One interesting hand that happened here... I couldn't believe I didn't get paid off by something on the river with so many in the pot. Last spade scared me a bit but didn't wanna lose value from the times they didn't hit it and not like I'm ever folding with the size of the pot.

So I'm in the final of the HU comp now which means I've won free entry to the Friday £11 Main Event (both finalists win a seat) so just playing for the kudos now. Hopefully I can bink something on Friday but won't be rebuying etc.
I may not be running good on the tables, but I certainly am off them. Aint played a ME in absolutely ages (since my last free entry lol) and now I'm playing 2 in a matter of days, just need a bit of rungood and I could be leaving 4NL behind
It was a really good structure, nice slow clock and all the crazy people rebuying non-stop made the stacks really deep, so it was until about 10:30pm+ that I got down to a shove/fold stack. In the end I had about 10BB and shoved SB v BB with 78s and got called by AKo. Was pretty happy about it to be honest, because I knew it was double or out soon and this was as good a chance as I was likely to get.... not so good when he flopped top trips though lol.
Good fun all the same though, and at least I'm guaranteed a cash in my next freebie
Second one.... got that for Top of the Posts strangely for my input in the clinic, which I think is largely superseded my many better players than me lol.
Third one... On channel 861, they showed a hand and if you guessed what hand the villian had (cards were covered) you get put into a hat, only 3 got it right, and my name got picked out.
===================================================================================
Here's where the abuse starts lol.... no, my 50BI rule is 50BIs for the next level, so I'm moving up when I get to £400. Yes I know it's super nitty but I really don't think it'll take me long to win 55BIs at 4NL and I feel more comfortable taking aggressive lines when I know I can shrug off losing a few BIs. I'm prone to tilt and the bigger my losses are in comparison to my roll, the more likely I am to tilt, so it's just safer for me personally.
But yeah, this Top of the Posts thing is a 6man SnG paying out everyone, something like, £10, £15, £20, £25, £30, £50, so I'm guaranteed a cash there and could bag 12 BIs (at 4NL) if I take it down. Then I got the Tuesday ME for free. Think I'll be out of 4NL before the end of October. Then with £400 at 8NL, I know only need £100 (just over 10BIs) to be rolled for 10NL with 50BIs then it's full steam ahead!
EDIT: If you look back, there's about 2-3 pages of me getting abuse for being such a big bankroll nit lol so I've heard it all before, before you join in
I withdrew £70 a while ago to spend some extra monies on my girlfriend's birthday.
I withdrew £20 recently to stick it in Stars and have a spin, got my $40 up to about $180, and then ended up withdrawing to add the £90ish to my roll on here to speed up getting out of 4NL.
I've also withdrawn bits and bobs here and there, but I don't play MTTs that often, and never had a big bink, so it's always been slow and steady so I don't bother withdrawing much.

I started playing cash on 13th August and made a loss of £5.56 this month with my cash after nearly 11,000 hands but my BR went up slightly due to winning 4-1 in my Hyper HU game. I've also got £7.07 coming my way in C4P soon, so that'll take me just over £180. Not a great start, but at the start I was making a ridic amount of terrible mistakes which were really counter-acting all the big pots I was winning.
September Goals
1. I'm not setting any financial goals/targets for the month, but I think a reasonable expectation is for me to increase my BR to around £250+ by the end of this month, no worries if I smash it or don't reach it.
2. Record a session, put it on Youtube and post the link up here.
Well the 1st session of the month couldn't have went much better. It started off with losing 1/2 a BI getting it in with QQ v KK against a shorty. But after that it was like payback for all the coolers and missed flops I've been having recently. I was hitting sets for fun, every flush draw was coming in, I was hitting TPTK virtually everytime with AQ and AK, and was getting paid off for most of them.
All in all, after 2 hours of 6tabling, I finished with £21.61 profit for the night, so a great start to the month. By the way, I'll be posting my profit/loss overall since I started and not just this month, so that I can compare with Splashies... which reminds me, where are you Martin?!

Always a nice feeling to get the month off to a good start, so that puts me on practically £200, which is £207 when I get my C4P and absolutely minimum of £217 because the minimum I can cash in the Top of the Posts game tomorrow is £10, so positive starts FTW!
Oh yeah Splashies, remember I said I knew my time would come for them dream situations like when people do stuff like open shove the flop into your set for 100BB... well it happened for me tonight, except it was for 200BB :P
Ended up coming 5th out of 6 which was a bit disappointing after my early double up, but hey ho, we all got in free, we all got paid and had a good laugh. So that's left me £15 better off.

Still also got £7.07 coming on Friday 7th Sept as C4P so that'll take me just over £220 which means I've only got 45BIs to go
I'll be getting in a sesh later after dinner.

Where's your session results Splashies, I'll be catching up to you in profit soon!
like a marathon runner using a pace setter
I'm a bit torn on that subject, I was considering adding more tables because even with 6 I find myself sat round for periods of time not doing anything and could definitely cope with more. I only play on a laptop so 6 tables on miniview still has a bit of overlap as it is, but I'm sure I'd get used to having loads of overlap after a bit. However a poker mate of mine said there may be more value in just sticking to the 6 tables, but focusing on good note-taking and exploiting some of the nits that play a very tight range.
Decisions....
