That's my thought process anyway, happy for others to disagree obv cos I might very well be taking bad spots... dunno, I'm no MTT sicko.
Dohhh is telling me it's just variance and almost all my exits are good spots.
Fwiw, here are the 2 hands from the mini last night that I mentioned in last night's update. All let me know what you think...
I was planning to deposit on 'the big site' to punt a few of the cheap BI/huge field comps, and some of the lads suggested I have a go at a load of the 180man SnGs over there too so I can get lots of practice on my end game of MTT, so I did that this morning. Will be good tohave those games I can play on the side in the mornings if cash is slow on here.
Played 5 of them in total (4 x $2.50 and 1 x $3r) and min cashed 1 so not a great start but yeh that's tournies.
Ended up having a bash at those Spin N Go SnGs on there too. Obv played 5 and got the PP that's only two thirds of what the proper PP should be everytime. I won 2 of them, and got HU in 2 more of them (1 of which I realllly should have won but the guy was unbeatable in a race). so finished -$3 on those.
So a total loss of $20 on there.
Another steady decent session this morning, played for about 3 and half hours and finished +£100, glad to see my momentum from Sept carrying through to Oct.
I think I'm gonna play the £125 Grand Prix Final at DTDD coming up soon, anyone else going?
Cash started great, and I was running pretty amazing, then for the last hour I got hammered. Really frustrating and ending up standing from the tables to avoid doing anything stupid and spewing off my remaining profit. Finished +£110 on cash, was at least £250+ 60 minutes earlier like but still can't complain.
Overall a £200 day, very nice.
Points = 2284 (vvv poor I know)
These 2 pots were against the same guy in the space of about 3 minutes. Fwiw, in the 2nd hand I'd never normally raise any hand on such a dry flop but the villian was .... 'not very good' shall we say, and he really didn't like the fold button so I just wanted to make sure I could set him up to get the lot in by the river.
Played the main again but it was uneventful, no heads, and bust 134th.
I was reminded of this because of something that came up on Emma's FB on Timehop (for people that aren't sucked into the world of FB - it basically makes u aware of things you posted on this day 1 year ago, or on this day 2 years ago etc). The thing that came up on Emma's timehop the other day was from 3 years ago when Lily had the results back from her MRI and was told there was no signs of brain damage, so in the 3 years since she was born she had gone from severe brain damage to her brain 'healing itself'.
She is still of course behind on a few things, mostly physical things, but there was was at the party (6 yrs old now) dancing etc when it took her to the age of 3 to even walk, and she's literally top of the class in a lot of academic areas like reading.
===============================
GaryLaud seems to be struggling with 4NL. Beating 4NL is all about just good solid basics but they're only basic when you know them, so I said I'd do a video for him of me palying 4NL. I did it this morning, only 45 mins of me 6tabling with a small amount of me chatting (not much strat really). Just exported the vid so gonna upload to youtube and post on here and to him.
Here's the video I did for GaryLaud of me playing 4NL. Again not a huge amount of strat chat in the video but I think it's probably better not to go overboard with that anyway at this stage. I made a fair few mistakes along the way but meh, there's plenty of room to make little mistakes at these levels and still crush.
Feel fre to comment/abuse etc

Whats it like working with Roy Keane? :-)
Great post from one of the best contributors on here !
Apart from the little bit of of 4NL for the GaryLaud vid, I aint played a session since Friday night were it all went a bit Pete Tong. I was gonna play last night but Emma's laptop decided to just stop working and so she had to borrow mine in the night time to do the Tesco online food shop.
So finally got a session in this moring. I've been thinking about it for a while and decided it was about time to start adding in some 100NL tables again. Just added 1 table of 100NL this morning alongside another 7 tables of 30-50NL. Finished the session +£150
Points are looking absolutely dreadful at 3065 but I'll deffo be making Prio at least.
I looked at the Cash Kings leaderboard thing yesterday when tey put the hand counts up and glad to see I was like 7500 hands clear of 11th place in the Micro one so should have £100 locked up there with only 5 days to go. Also should be able to get at least £100 from the Low stakes one too.
funny enough my notes on said player read remarkably similar to yours,
run golden
Iah
I'm not sure what you mean Geldy lol... I'd 100% happily do a 50NL video if I didn't spend almost 100% of my poker time grinding 50NL on Sky. Still may do one but will have to weigh up the pros and cons.
Played 2 regular 6max SnGs for a bit of fun on the side when cash was quieter. Played a £5 and an £11, came 4th in both, flipped about 8 times in both of them combined and won 0.
I didn't rungood tonight.
Think the hand depends on how you construct your turn ranges. If your raising A10s, 10's + 4's (8 combos) for value then you need to have a few bluff's. KJs is a pretty good candidate as it blocks AK/AJ and has very good equity when called. Obviously if your plan is to flat all our value on the turn then we won't have a raising range at all (Against good regs)
It may also be a spot where villain may overfold as a lot of regs aren't comfortable gii 300bb with like AQ in this spot etc.
I posted this HH, but when I looked at it myself and was discussing it with mates, I just saw the dealer BTN next to villian so assumed we were OOP, which obv changes everything. If we were OOP and we just call the turn, he's gonna checkback almost all rivers which are an out to us, so leaves us in a spot where we are c/f missed rivers and if we hit, he's rarely gonna bet if we check and if we donk river our hand's kinda face up.
So that's kinda what I thought the discussion would be about, but was in a rush to post last night and missed we're actually IP, so seems a standard call flop, call turn.
played two tables of 4 nl tonight, for 1 hour whilst playing the FOSP game.
feel I done ok but room for improvement, made about a £7 profit.
and this one?
Although I made it like £41 and got a fold.
====================================
Hi Chris...
Hand 1 - nh, wp
Hand 2 - Yeh deffo can't fold this, all we've seen is 2 limps (likely junk hands) and a 25xBB shove which I'd never fold TT to at 4NL. Think calling is best, and if one of the limpers happens to jam think we just gotta go with it and win what is probably a flip. Nh.
Hand 3 - Probably not the worst call in the world, can be a lot of stuff like he has, 2 big cards trying to nick the pot or FDs. I wouldn't fault a fold or a call here readless. Nh.
