Gonna be getting in some more games tonight
Then obv, on the flop, I had a gutshot as a back up and thought I could make him fold some biggers Aces, KQ, and KJ (I know I'm ahead to KQ and KJ but happy to just take the pot down) which I figured was most of his range. I can't imagine him ever flatting a PP from 2s to Js with his stack, so my thinking was he either has a very big PP or more often than not, one of the hands that I can make fold. Is my thinking flawed here?

Played you a couple of times yesterday and contributed to your run bad, my AJ beating your JJ all in pre lol!!
Was wondering what sort of win rate you feel is achievable at the micro stakes HU games over a large sample and do you think its a better way to build a roll than grinding NL4??
GL with the games
You can also earn poker points alot faster. That shouldn't be a big consideration because you'll make alot more money by just winning but just grinding 4NL alone, you'd have to play ALOT to scrape to get 500 points. These are alot easier to rack up the points.
I do think there's alot more profit to be made from the terrible play at 4NL but I just don't have the BR at the moment to be able to multi-table comfortable and 1 table is terribly boring at 4NL.
Anyway Dohhhh can give his thoughts on expected profits/ROIs from the micros cos he's the master.
(Will have to show you some HH JJ cos you won't believe the badness lol)
But I didn't give up, I kept playing well, ploughed through the stinky outdraws, managed to win about 5 or 6 in a row to get back to almost even, so in the end I won 14 and lost 15. All but 2 of them were turbos and I lost both my turbos as Doh saw. I'd love to see my winrate at these when I'm running even just close to normal.

On a completely non poker related topic... as some of you know, I recently stopped working for Bupa to move back down south with Emma, so I've been enjoying a few weeks out of work since I moved down, but I now have a job interview on Monday for a decent job. Maybe I'm saving up my run good for then
But I cracked on again, played well and managed to come out with 11 wins and 8 losses for a £2.05 profit. I probably could have only fitted in about 7 turbos in the time I was playing too. Gonna get some more games in tonight I think but here's my stats so far

It's not mega important but I'm cruising to getting 500+ poker points which is actually 5 BIs for my level so it aint too bad
Finally managed to watch that Derek which I'd Sky plussed and yeah just WTF. It was wierd to say the least... think the only time I laughed was when he ran through the home naked after falling in the pond. Maybe the odd thing that Karl said but that's just Karl.
Anyway I won 7 out of the 9 I played this morning so that's £4.55 profit. So that combined with the losses I forgot to put up from last night make things like so...

Finally back in the black and feeling better about the tweaks I've made to my game. I'm on 392 poker points at the mo, so reckon I should get to 600-700 which I think it something like £6.50
Doh - What BR would you want to be playing £2.10 Hypers, I was thinking I'd wait til I got to about £60 but what dya think?

Doh - Am guessing you can't single out particular games on SS? Like could you check win-rate/ROI for turbos and hypers seperately or do you have to lump them together?
I'd post a few hands up here, but I hate threads that are full of tons of hands, makes it look really messy (I'm Mr OCD). Maybe I'll stick 1 or 2 up tomorrow or just see if you're on msn.
Still down £7.25 for the session but it was worse.

I'm on easy street now to make the C4P and earn an extra 5-6 BIs for my level.
For the record I was beaten 3-0, fair and square. The best man won. This diary is a great read, I'm one of the many lurkers who read every post, please keep up the good work.
Good luck with this and I'm looking forward to meeting up at Cardiff SPT.

On a side note, I forgot to mention how my job interview went on Monday. Well I don't know yet, he's gonna be getting back to me by the end of this week, although it was shortlisted down to only 6 for interviews and I think it went really well, he seemed really impressed with all my experience. And for the first time in an interview, I managed to do what 'they' always suggest and dodged answering the question about what salary I want, which turned out quite well cos he offered slightly more than what I would have said. Fingers crossed.

I think my longest session of hypers has been about 40 odd, but they tend to be between 10-20 usually. Did try playing 2 at a go for a bit, but it didn't feel quite as comfortable and it was a losing session (whether that be through bad play or just runbad) so I've been sticking to 1tabling mostly.
But yeah I know you're definitely right about momentum, I've experienced enough negative momentum already.
I only started playing these on 15th April and so in 10 days have played abuot 250 and this is with what I would class as very small volume. I'm confident I could smash 1000 games most months. So if I'm making 5p per game (on average), then 1000 games is £50 profit, where as 1000 games would give me 1000 C4P which is less than a tenner.
But yeah, these are all abuot volume, volume, volume (when you're in the right frame of mind)

I may have broke even tonight, but I'm now owed a whopping £4.10 in C4P
Nice, C4P makes a huge difference when you're playing a game which is only beatable with a small ROI; a 53% boost to your profit for the month in this case.
