    Just completed Day 17

    Days Profit £8

    Closing Bankroll £92

    Things are moving better now.
    Couldnt resist a late session last night before zzzzzzzzzz. Played just 1 table NL4. I had TT - 3 low cards on flop. I bet £1 and other player goes all in - I called. He had QQ putting him well ahead. But the poker gods gave me a T on river. Nice £5 profit to end the day. Call me a Luckbox, riverrat, fish etc I am sure other player had a few choice names.

    Played for an hour in morning, couldnt get anything going.

    Once again evening session was profitable and people were making loose calls.

    Just completed Day 19 - Feb 11th

    Days Profit £8.5

    Closing Bankroll £100.5

    Busy weekend as guests coming to stay. 
    Grabbed an hour during afternoon.

    Q2 in SB. 2 on flop checked around. a 3rd 2 on turn. I bet and get raised twice. I call the all in and win nice pot - was against 25 and A something.

    Now this is looking better, breaking the £100 barrier now next target is to break £300 by end March.
    C4P bonuses looking good for Feb - now have over 300 points so should get minimum.

    Please give me some feedback if these posts are interesting or am I just babbling and wasting my time.

    Thanks

    By the way that £300 target includes 2 deposits of £50 each at end Feb and March so think its doable (is that a word  mm who cares)

    Defo keep posting mate, I always have a look each day to see how you're coming along.

    When I used to have my DYM diary I posted most the stuff in it and knew it wasn't of massive interest to anyone but it really helped me focus and also let me look back on really bad sessions to see that I could come back from adversity which helped when going through a bad patch.

    Also nice work topping £100 ;).

    Days Loss £2

    Closing Bankroll £100

    2 tables NL4.
    Flop J High. I had KK. Player goes all in and I call. He had 99 and my KK held up.

    KK again 9 high flop facing an all in again. This time against 99 - lost.

    KK ran into 2 pair 94 - oops. Bad play by me, I just got too attached to my KK on what looked like a safe board. Cost me about £5

    Now I rivered an A flush - about £9 pot.That makes up for my stupid mistake earlier.

    hi pavillion,
    i,d try and up the number of tables u play if poss,.
    i was playing just the 2 a few weeks ago,
    went up to 6 and never looked back.
    playing 6 it doesn,t matter too much if u have a bad night
    on 1 or 2,as i did on your table tonight,
    as u will hopefully be winning on the other 4.
    also,another benefit is extra c4p

    Not much poker today. Had to go to a 70th birthday party. Wonder if he went to school with Tikay lol

    I tried 4 Tables NL4 as devonfish suggested. Had trouble keeping up a few times but will try it again although probably revert to 2 tables tomorrow, tomorrow.

    Days Profit £15.5

    Closing Bankroll £116

    Back to 2 Tables - more relaxing. 

    Wow - excellent day.

    Bankroll is progressing (hope thats  not jinxed it)

    66 facing a 9TJ flop. Checks around. 6 on turn - nice. Other player moves all in and I call. He was on a flush draw. My 666 held and £1 profit.

    AK suited in BB. Was raised to 40p preflop so I just called. A and K came on flop. I just bet out and kept getting called eventually winning about £5. My concern was obviously AA or KK but I was safe.

    A few other nice hands during afternoon put me up about £10 before heading into evening session.

    Early evening steadily going up but treading water from about 8pm

    I have a question on reloading and would appreciate your views. How low should you go with your initial £4 buy in before topping up to maximise any good opportunities you may get.

    In terms of reloading just do it every time you go below £4.00, also with only 2-tabling you should have plenty of time between hands with which to do so.

    This just maximises the times when you get it in pre AA v KK etc and means you always get max which is crucial with the rake being so high.

    Yes, do reload, even if you have only given up the blinds.

    Readable thread because you are obviously enjoying your poker, and also enjoying sticking to your bankroll discipline. Although the sums involved are probably not that meaningful yet, the experience is invaluable.

    Dont forget that there is benefit in reviewing all hands. Not only the ones where you won/lost big, but also the hands where you may have been able to extract more value.

    You are obviously more comfortable playing just two tables. Do you think that you will move up a level before you regularly play more tables ?

    Will try and up to 3 tables today. Problem is I am using the built in mouse on my laptop. Maybe I will have to buy an optical mouse to move around screen quicker.

    Just completed Day 24 - Feb 16th

    Days Profit £5

    Closing Bankroll £121

    Open ended straight after flop. Faced an all in of £2+ and I folded. Was this correct? 8 outs into a £3 ish pot. So I would have bet £2 to win another £3 on about a 5-1 shot. I am pretty sure I played it correct.

    My Ace Flush (which I thought was golden) ran into quad 3s. Wasnt expecting that one.

    KK  2 Queens come on flop. I bet and get raised. I call the raise and get lucky on turn witk a K. Check to him and he goes all in so I win a nice pot.

    Lost about £5 early evening. Called big bet with my 2 pair. I have to learn to recognise when I am beaten.  

    Came off both tables mid evening with about £10 on each. Showing a nice profit now.

    C4P now 410 so should easily make 500 by end Feb.

    Going strong. For topping up I try to do 3/4 or less then top up or if you lose a big pot then insta top up. With 2 tables you can just reload as you go when your below max. When multi tabling it gets a bit harder though so 3/4 is decent enough without the auto topup on Sky.

    Days Profit £19

    Closing Bankroll £140

    I have a new daily record profit of £19

    Been running really good recently. £40 in last 4 days.

    2 Tables NL4 again. Up £6 before heading into evening session. No spectacular hands that I can remember just won lots of pots.

    Called an all in £3 preflop. Easy call as I had AA. I was against QQ, my hand held up.

    Won a big pot with 53 in BB.  Flopped a straight.

    It was strangely a day of nothing significant but somehow I won £19

    Days Loss £13

    Closing Bankroll £127

    Not a good day. Ah well, cant win everyday. Just lost almost all I won yesterday.

    Resisted going all in when I was raised with my 2 pair after flop. Only lost about 50p. I must be learning.

    Folded my open ended straight draw, facing a 38p bet. Think I am getting more disciplined.

    My AA lost an all in to K5 - 5 on river.

    Lost  another big pot with Q flush against Ace flush. I was OK calling that one its just how it goes sometimes.

    Clawed back a bit going into evening session up £2.5

    Just kept losing pots and losing again. Cant wait till tomorrow fresh start lol

    Days Profit £4

    Closing Bankroll £131

    After I posted last night had a session at NL8 (1 table). Down a little to start then I pulled back to my £8 buy in so left.

    Now its back to 2 tables NL4, I feel more confident there at the moment.

    Not much happening, just holding even.

    C4P now at 488 so should reach 500 target for month tomorrow, which will gaurantee me bonuses.

    Overall the weekend didnt prove that profitable but I have edged up again today.

    My urge to play at a higher level got the better of me. Figured playing 1 table NL8 was no different to 2 tables NL4.

    Made a small profit - now I dont know what level I will play tomorrow
