@MP33 - I generally play 8NL, I play 6 tables and you're lucky if you can get 6 full tables going at 8NL so I'm usually on every single one, although I work Monday to Friday 9-5, so do most of my playing like 9pm - midnight.
I had kinda given up on the Kings but I still think I can get in the top 20 (JUST!) and I won't say no to a free £30 so it's game on again!
As I say, slow and steady wins the race

Another very good session and it's now my 8th winning session in a row. Could have been a bit better if not for a few annoying spots, but hey I can't complain. The only hand that really annoyed me all night was this...
As some background, this guy had just been open-shoving every hand and hadn't been called yet, so I snapped him off here, sigh at the river, but I don't regret the call at all, I'd make it all day long while he's playing like this

Really good going in October so far, profit-wise and just in the last 2 days I've managed to go frmo 57 poker points to 328 so good giong there too
Just finished 3 hours of 6tabling 8NL and I made a loss of £11.02. Pretty frustrating because I started off the session getting absolutely butchered, I got it in good SO many times and got outdrawn, then I won a few big pots towards the end and thought I was gonna be about break even.

Got another session in tonight which was a bit of a nightmare to be honest. I donked off 3 BIs to Ryan, a couple to LiamBoi and bits of bobs elsewhere to people doing stuff like calling down flop and turn with a GS then getting there. The odd cooler, and the odd bad beat (thanks Ryan! lol) but way too much of it was plain old just terrible play from me. Too much non-believing v regs and too much bluffing v fish... sigh
I did go on a 5 minute sick run of good cards/hands on 1 table though to recover some of it. In the space of 5 mins I got it in on the flop with a set of Qs v AA, then got it in AA v QQ, then got it in AA v AK. So on that table I went from £15 to £46 in 5 mins, and that covered some of my losses. The second half of my session I definitely played alot better after I sorted my head out after donking about and got in the zone to grind some back.
So I finished £10.71 down for the day which is a bit annoying, but I only have myself to blame and should definitely be grateful that it isn't ALOT more. On the bright side, I broke the 500 point mark so I'm in the money now lol.

Yeah it was definitely fun playing 3 handed with you and Ryan, even if it did probably contribute to my losses. Some seriously spewy stuff like me jamming my 33 into your QQ. Oh well, live and learn, and that's why I am happier having a bigger BR for my level, so I can have the odd night where I play like a complete donkey and just shrug it off cos it doesn't destroy my roll.
Sick times folks, but this is why I wanted as big as BR as I said originally, so at least I can take one of these on the chin and still be comfortably rolled.
@LiamBoi - Can't believe you had the bloody flush v my nut straight... you're so aggro that I'm miles ahead of your range there

I definitely agree with you and said it somewhere earlier in my diary that I think (with the exception of TinTin) it will slow down towards the end of the month as people get burnt out or in some cases go busto. I think 2.5k might just get in the top 20, and that's acheivable for me because I'm now making between 150-200 points per session.
As you can see above, I'm 647 so far, so you aint that far behind considering you aint played much. May see you on the tables tonight then.
Anyway, was pretty brutal all night, so started about 3BIs down courtesy of the HU, but then was doing well to grind it back, but it happened literally 3 times that everytime I got back to break even (I know I shouldn't keep track and I don't most of the time), I'd get coolered. I got to break even, then got it in set over set
So I finished -£26.34 for the night which really sucks, but apart from the odd bad/tilty call, I feel like there's really nothing I can do about it.

Here was me a few days ago feeling really sorry for TinTin as he was getting battered by variance and then it comes along and smacks me in the face
I hope your run improves soon TinTin and mine too!
Made a pretty sicking loss of £73.44.. don't even know how that's possible @ 8NL lol...but there you have it. I'm not gonna lie and say none of it was due to bad play, some of it definitely will have been, but just so many times I couldn't hold for big pots... in fact I don't think I held for a pot above £3-£4 once all night. So My BR has went from £350 to £192 in the space of 4 sessions at 8NL!!
God this game can be sick sometimes. But oh well, brush myself off, I'll be taking a break from cash poker tomorrow night, then I'm at DTD for the weekend so that'll be a nice break, then I think it's back to the depths of 4NL for me next week. Not sure, maybe I'll give 8NL one more go when I come back to cash and see how I do on Monday. Obviously 4NL means my C4P is badly affected, but couldn't really care less about that atm (sorry LiamBoi lol but I'll still give you a run for your money at 4NL

So a really depressing weak in terms of poker, lost 20 BIs in a week, have went from near £150 in profit to being in loss for the first time since almost the start of this venture into cash. But in the grand scheme of things, now I've stood from the tables and collected my thoughts, it's not the exactly the end of the world. I still have more money than I started this challenge with courtesy of C4P and that Top of the Posts game, and I'm still alive and healthy lol and playing the game I love (struggling to love it as much as normal atm).
Looking forward to DTD and a bit of Quasar!
P.S. Thanks for jinxing me IDCU by saying I never lose! lol. My losing streak started literally the day after you said that lol.
even if you have to drop down for a couple of sessions i dont think it will take you much doing before your back.
have a good weekend
It was for £98. Simaltous was sat there with £300 at £1/£2 ( Way out of my roll ) but got greedy and thought i,d try and steal a pot or 2 before running off like a little girl.
15 minutes later i was skint and only got to see about 1 showdown. Was well out of my leaugue, but quit there for the day and started again to build it back up over the last week
I know your going for this king for cash promo but i think to many ppl esp at low stakes are getting blinded by it and concentarting more on points than actual profit
I,d have a day or 2 off and come back fighting - GL
Ps - Theres always the King of the cash Freeroll for 5k for just 1k pts
If you find yourself 3-4 buy ins down then stop playing as it's not your night, or nit up - seriously !
& don't get involved with reg v reg battles - no need - just distracts you from concentrating on winning money from the other weaker players at the table
but anyway you know you can win it back and poker is a never ending game so - good luck and have fun at the DTD )
goes to show what they know
i think its pretty bad to lose so much in one session. if its not going your way its best to probably leave the tables
i saw some quote somewhere once saying the great players know when to call it a day
