nice to see you're back up to 900 quid now, still think you will get £2500 by the end of 2013?
@ Gazza - very nice hand, I was pretty sure you were being honest at the table when you said you had quads. I had A9o.
================================================================================
Since the last update, the only thing I've done is play the DTD which went awful as it has done all month so that's -£5.50.
And I played a few HU SnGs. Won 20 games, lost 17... I think, I dunno I lost track obv, but I know that my BR has went up by 75p lol so I must have won the £5.50 of my DTD back + 75p so £6.25 profit. Gradually getting back to break even for the month on HU SnGs... Could someone who has SS skope me for July plz
Tbh, after seeing the breakdown Pingu gave me and seeing my lifetime ROI at HU games is only 0.5%, it's pretty horrible, really dunno why it's that low cos without being funny I'm so much better at HU than most of the people I play... surely I can't be running that bad over 4k games... who knows. Either way I need to get back to cash.
Bankroll: £929.24
Poker Points: 932 (£9.32)
Ended up winning 6 out of 6 games for a profit of £28.50, must be close to being back in the black now if I'm not already there. Come on Sharkscopers, give me something to be happy about lol.
Right, now I'm off to enjoy a BBQ

FWIW, here is the first SS this month Wason did for me in JJ's diary after a couple of days...
Cheers for the rail too, hope I didn't do anything too spewy while you were being a rail ninja lol
Anyway, I won 28 games and lost 29 for a loss of £19.25 BUT... had some issues when playing this morning, probably carried out problems from the outage last night but was in a Hyper and unable to make any actions even though I had another table open at the time and was playing fine. It had the 'I'm back' button there but clicking on it did nothing, so I moaned at CC and they gave me £6 back (for a £5.25 Hyper).
So an actual loss of £13.25 so far today.
Bankroll: £944.49

GL
Definitely gotta get back to cash though, that certainly is where the money is at, especially after seeing how low my HU SnG ROI is over the like 5k games I've played on here.
Anyway, I won 10 and lost 8 for a profit of £5.50
I think I might jump on some cash tables later and get back on that horse, depends what the games are like though, speaking to others it seems like action has completely died at 30NL (40NL was always dead) but dunno what things are like at 20NL.
I am now rolled enough where I'm happy to play 30NL again but will probably ease myself back in at 20NL.... all depends where the value is though.
Wanting to get the roll back to 4 figures before the end of the month which (varience permitting) should be pretty easy, but we all know what poker can be like.

Karma!
But yeah I'm happy playing across multiple levels, although truth be told I probably never bother looking as low as 10NL when maybe I should as oppose to choosing a bad 20NL table.
I did have £1800 a month ago (gotta get the brag in lol) but June did not go too well... be back there soon though.
Thankfully I came back to a win, there's nothing worse than being away for a while, coming back feeling really fresh only to get smacked in the face by variance.
Here's 2 hands where me and that evil penguin chap exchanged BIs. First one is pretty much a cooler once I peel pre V him. Second one is a really horrible cool but meh
It's nice to be back to 4 figures, let's hope it stays that way.

with hand 2
what i would be thinking is the diamond coming on the turn should be the warning to anyone who has two pair that a raise should be made now that flushes are possible as well as the straight because if they called again they are going to end up either loosing out on value or in a difficult spot when a J Q or diamond does come unless it is Jd or Qd. so when he is just calling the turn aswell and because a brick has came on the river if you make the shove i wouldn't be thinking that many hands will call now that are still behind.
it doesn't mean i would C/F the river all i am thinking now is how about letting him try a bluff with his AQ AJ KJ or AXs and if it was QJ you can just think well played.
By the river he only has £11 in a pot that is already £16 so he's not folding any decent showdown hand. He might not like it but he'd probably pay me off with AQ imo and maybe AJ. He won't pay off KJ but then don't think he'll ever turn AQ/AJ/KJ into a bluff anyway cos he knows I won't fold better hands than he's shoving so he'll just check back and I'll definitely get no value. He also pays me off when he's peeled KTs (dunno if he'd peel IP w/ KTo)
After flatting the 3bet I think pretty much the only hands he can reasonably have that beat me are TT and QJ
He also knows I'm more than capable of 3betting a hand like 89s and then just 3barrelling with a missed board like this that should hit my range well.
it's probably hard because I don't know that guy very well. it is suprising really that it wasn't in on the turn, he was probably lucky that you had AK and the river did come a blank because if a 10 J or Q came that wasn't a diamond then he would have been the one who lost value.
UL BTW
Well he doesn't raise because he doesn't know I'm as strong as AK, he knows I can have weaker value hands and bluffs and he knows if he raises there's very little I can call with. He's not gonna be scared of getting outdrawn cos the number of safe river cards massively outweigh the ones that are dangerous or stop him getting paid. Again even if he is 'scared' there's no point raising cos he can't get called by many worse hands and flatting keeps in all my weak hands and bluffs.
I did the old set over set trick on DTM but then he returned the favour a little later by set over setting me.
I played for about 4 hours, 6tabling 20NL and 30NL and finished with a profit of +£25.38 so it's not all doom and gloom but it could have been so much more if I hadn't been coolered and bad beat to death. Big positives to come back winning though.

I joined one of your tables for about 5 mins last night when i was bored and said hi but think you musta been on a few tables at the time and didnt notice
Good Luck
I was just telling someone about this hand earlier so thought I'd post it. Just to show it wasn't all one way traffic last night, here is the most brutal cooler I've seen for a looong time.
Meh, played the DTD every week this month and despite FT'ing the £1 game once, I don't think I got a combined score <100 once lol.
On the bright side, I played that Syndicate Freeroll again tonight and sadly the bet lost so our 2000 chips were worth about £1.25 but I managed to chip up a bit and cash for £7.44 so at least I freerolled the DTD where I played like a donkey
Off to de-tilt over a bit of Dragon Age on the Xbox
