    A moment of madness, can u advice on how I should of played the hand differently and, am I always stacking off( i dont think so) I was so annoyed with myself at the time. I think my rr all on the turn is soooo bad. If i call ur rr n turn n river bricks, do i still call with my hand ( if you all in/make a big bet). I cant post the hand ( as your the oppo ) I thought you could help with how i played it. Hand History #492915696

    Hey Krippler,

    Yeah the turn rr allin is very bad but I think you know this (crazy stuff happens in the heat of the moment, you just have to remember it and work on it in the future). The thing you've got to think is that A) what do I put you on? and B) would I try and bluff you off that hand or be value betting worse?

    A) What do I put you on?
    You've 3bet me and then checked back the flop, the turn then comes an Ace and you bet....from a very simple thought process it looks like you have Ax and most likely AK/AQ.

    B) Would I try and bluff you off that hand or be value betting worse?
    So I most likely think you have AK/AQ. I won't be check/raising with anything worse for value. Now for the bluffs...I could have 98/65/44 but I probably don't as do I really want to try and get you of AK/AQ??

    You should probably just bet/fold the turn but I think your best play would be to just continuation bet the flop (especially against better players as they won't pay you off when you check back and hit the turn and you might get bluffed off the best hand).

    Also I think I remember you shoving very quickly, try and take a few moments to think about whats going on in the hand in the future as you could probably make some big folds and some big calls if you give yourself the chance to think about it.

    Good luck, hope it helped.

    Thank you for replying, a hand I completly butchered.

    Hopefully I can control the red mist next time.

    Has been a few weeks since I last updated the diary. Has been down to not playing much poker and being away from my home poker setup.

    I've not long got back from 5 days of playing golf at Royal St. George's in Kent. It was a 10 man team event playing scratch matchplay foursomes. Me and my playing partner ended up playing vs a young guy and Ed Giddins (played 4 tests for the England cricket team and a previous Sky Poker presenter!). Had a good chat with him about poker and a fun match with us winning and our team getting through to the 2nd round....where we lost :s

    March Results
    Only just managed to scrape past the 10k points mark on Sky as I didn't play too much poker and played on some other sites.
    Made about 3.8k in total. Pretty sure I ran quite well as I didn't play enough to expect these returns.

    April Goals
    Tourneys: Have got the UKIPT Nottingham mid month which I'm looking forward to playing as I final tabled it last year and it's 1mill guar'd which is crazy for a £770 buyin!
    Points/Rakeback: Will be going for the 25k points mark on Sky as there is a Vegas free roll if you manage it.
    Profit: I'll aim to beat my March profit ASAP and then try and push on from there.

    Thanks for reading, Good Luck!

    I've won 2 pots of over £80 in profit playing mostly nl100+nl200 and am on 1.5k points. I'm not classing this as any sort of downswing or moaning because of not running as good as I usually do. Has just been a very swift frustrating way of losing 1.3k. Will be dropping down to nl50 for a few days to de-tilt, get back some confidence and keep the C4Points ticking over.

    Also have heard beaneh is on 5.5k points already lol WTF

    Good luck to those who won't be playing me ;)

    The amazing thing about Beaneh is that he can rake up all those points whilst sending me 3 bad beats a minute...

    Have got of to a terrible start and am about 1.8k down for April......

    A few of the reasons why: bad beats, opponents hitting sets in big pots, me never hitting sets, etc

    I have no control over the above but I have reacted poorly to these things by: Playing more tables to recoop losses/make points quicker so I'm not subject to the ''torture'' of running bad for as long, questioning my overall strategy during the session instead of focusing on how to exploit my opponents individually and finally TILT (I know I'm tilting pretty bad when I hear myself say ''they can't have it again'')

    So the plan is to play less tables and focus on my opponents game a bit more. GLGL

    I've resorted nowadays to only playing right handed if I have ALOT of tables up so > 15 otherwise I just have a relaxed grind left handed. Think i've had my last physio session but because i'm so lazy I don't do the excercises i'm meant to as much as I should so the issues are still there :s 

    I'm going to be away alot this month hence getting 9k points already :p
