ty m8.
good to see that you are back to winning ways again.
good luck with the DYM challenge.
i've purposely kept away from it,as i know i would just bottle & take the money & run once up to about £22 or £33.
be lucky
dev
ty m8,
does that mean i can expect to be seeing you at the tables sometime?
yes,it's not overly dificult to win,un-like the £5 level,just need to play tight agressive, play as many tables as possible and the rest is just down to a bit of luck. lol
be lucky

Well played tonight.We had a few tight games.Starting to get back into the swing of things.Played 12 again ran great and won 10.I can only play 4 at a time because of my laptop.Anymore and it gets really laggy.Think £3 level is the best for me.Any less and the rake is a bit too much and any more my br wouldn't handle a few days when the variants catch up with me.
Run good Pal
isn't it nice once you get on a roll,easy game isn't it.
guessed it was because of laptop.
keep it up m8
dev
no rest 4 the wicked m8.
tbh i could have 'booked the win' y/day as i was level with my b/roll with 12 tables in play,
basically if i had & won just 6 of them ,that would have given me a £36 win but i carried on, building my c4p.
i think this could be a pretty regular occurance that i will be facing,knowing when to stop loading up tables & accepting when to stop playing,thus ensuring the win.
i guess it will be a judgement call that i will have to make each time it happens but 1 that i'm sure i will enjoy making.
as i've said as long as i am winning & also enjoying playing,which i am,then i see no reason to take days off,if anything i might play even more sessions. lol
gl buddy with building your b/roll,
should be a fairly close run as to which of us gets to that £1000 target 1st.
but i'm telling you "i'm not slowing down" lol
be lucky
dev
ps,
i had 16 tables running at 1 point y/day....
think it still might be possible to get to 18. lol
thurs 23/8/12
won £51.05 (another PB)
b/roll £713.50
c4p 156
total 3489 = £55.82 to come
another highest win record for a single session set again tonight...£51.05
can't quite believe what's going on atm.
everything has just clicked into place & suddenly it all seems pretty easy.
obviously i ran ok but still lost a fair few when ahead.
could be just running good but whatever,i'm enjoying the ride.

played a few games with you tonight, and you cashed in all and I bubbled in all so far (still playing, hope my fortune changes soon) I keep trying to table select to avoid you, but you always register at last minute. Good luck anyway bud, your blog has inspired me to start these up again nearly a year after I read JC's post.
See you at the tables.
gl buddy.
hope you follow in my footsteps and build a nice b/roll up.
just be disciplined with your b/roll and you will be fine.
don't think you can avoid me as i play on every £3 table going during the evenings anyway. lol
be lucky.
let us know how you get on,how about starting up your own diary?

friday 24/8/12
lost £3.90 this morning
lost £9.90 tonight
lost £13.80
b/roll £699.70
c4p 258
total 3747 = £59.95 to come
ran horrible all day.
so not that unhappy losing £13.80 tbh.
just glad that these sessions are far & few between.
still happy with my game & my overall results for this month especially.
c4p also well ahead of target for reaching 4000.
could possibly even reach 5000 if i can stay motivated for another week or so,which i'm sure i will.
anyway,
glad today is over & hopefully i will be able to kick on again tomorrow.
night all
dev
yes,i'm sorry if i was being a bit flippant.
i meant that they appear 2b less frequent than they once were.
anyway,
at least today shows i'm still human i guess,and not just a money making machine!!! lol
dev
Doing great.Few bumps along the way but still going the right way.Played a few games with you tonight.Very solid play unlucky to run into a few strange calls but it is the weekend.Just a couple of questions.
1 How many games do you get through a night ?
2 Do you always play in mini view if so how long did it take to get used to ?
3 Do you set yourself a target of games or points for the night ?
Run good pal.
Don't know if you have seen this recently but player in bb says away when button raises to steal blinds, bb comes back in reraises to take hand down.Happened on a couple of tables tonight.Caused a bit of chat.
Pat
seems along time ago now that i said that.
i'm not quite at the party yet....
but i'm knocking on the door. lol

ty m8,
as i am only playing £3 atm if you divide my nightly c4p ammount by 3 that will give you the number of games played each session,so tonight my c4p was 258 div by 3 = 86 games played.
the ammount i play really varies from day 2 day,if i am winning then i might shut down a little earlier than if i am losing for example,like tonight.also alot depends on how i am feeling,some days i can play longer knowing i am building up my c4p and other days i might only play for a 2 or 3 hours or so.
i usually start between 6-6.30pm and finish somewhere between 9 & 11pm as a rule.
no i never set out with any set targets in mind for each night,i just play my best to win each session,sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
the one thing though i always try to do is finish the session strongly as this limits my losses and maximises my wins.
also you have to accept that you will get losses so it's not worth getting overly down about it.
i've learnt the best way of dealing with it is by saying to myself,let's see how things are at the end of the month.
as long as i give my best every session that's ok,i only get upset with myself when i make silly plays and i try and learn from them and not to do it again.
but i still do sometimes.
also i have to take into account the number of tables i'm playing which is still slowly increasing ,starting to play number 16 atm,so as alot of my decisions are instinctive due to the short ammount of time available for each decision, i will make the odd mistake i guess, but as long as i make many more good decisions then it should be profitable long term,i think.
always play in mini-view m8,and pretty much got used to it straight away.
also takes away the distraction of the chat box.
yes,
i have also noticed players being away and then suddenly re-appear and as you say re-raise back.
i now make a note in players notes for future reference.
still i guess if they are getting the advantage from it and not their opponents who is to say it's wrong,especially as the other guy is basically trying to get free chips for nothing.
but i can see that it is a talking point.
good luck Pat,
:)dev
had this on my mind.....
if i was to compare my poker atm to boxing(yes,strange i know....
but go with it)...
how would it be?
for shear agression; MR T; "you can't beat me...i'm the best....i'm the best!!!
for composure; OPOLLO CREED; "the master of disaster...the best of all time...the slickist & the quickest"!!!
for heart & bouncebackability; ROCKY BALBOA; "Adriaaan,we did it..we did it"!!!
for sound advice; ADRIAAAN; "don't do it for John Connor...don't do it coz you have to...do it for you"!!!
for the looks; MICKEEY; obviously...my double. (* *)

LOL
dev
back again,
lol
yes,plenty of cups of tea & orange juice. lol
yes,on a roll atm so can't complain.
i wonder when i will get the 100 games a nite up?

sat 25/8/12
part 1
lost £1.80
b/roll £699.70
c4p 132
total 3879 = £62.06 to come
ran total garbage
so just carrying on from y/day then.
no damage done though so no worries.
been on a good run though so mustn't complain,or someone's bound to tell me off. lol
anyway
picked a few more c4p so happy about that.
back tonight.
dev
sat 25/8/12
part 2
lost £43.50
b/roll £656.20
c4p 210
total £4089 = £73.60 to come
ok so i probably asked for a session like this to come along and give me a reality check.
yes,i admit it,i probably was getting a little cocky...lesson learned.
yes,i ran like poo again but i know it happens to everyone so no worries.
i actually felt i played pretty well so i think that says just how bad i ran.
still,i am still almost £350 up so far this month & if someone had offered me that i would most certainly have taken it,so i won't be losing any sleep over it.
my c4p target is now 5000 pts so if i can achieve that which i know i will,then that's another £100 that will be added on.
tbh even after tonights session,i am still enjoying this battle with the game & also the never ending battle that goes on inside my mind.
i'm sure tonight won't be the last time i ever lose again so i'll deal with it,as i have on all the other occasions,and move on.
i might have just lost a battle...but the war goes on!!!
43 of my soldiers have fallen tonight but the 656 ramaining will fight on.they will not be forgotten. rip.
dev
yes getting there m8,despite tonight's little blip.
best wishes
dev
yes,it was quite a brutal tonight tbh but i've had a great run this month so i'm not complaining.
also,having lost £130 on a previous night not so long ago,which we never talk about,
losing tonight doesn't really compare,does it.
anyway,the pain is over & the recovery begins.
i hope things improve for you buddy,it can be a tough old game sometimes,can't it.
and remember win or lose it's only money it's not life and death.
best wishes
dev
sunday
26/8/12
day off...
re-charge battery for the week ahead.
DAY 119
monday
27/8/12
part 1
won £6.00
b/roll £662.20
c4p 123
total 4212 = £75.82 to come
back grinding after the disappointment of sat night.
didn't run well again but somehow managed to scrape out a w.
my plan now for the rest of this month is to basically 'hang in there' hopefully remain in the £600's if i can get to £700 great,but it is probably more important not to lose now for the remainder of this month as it has gone brilliant so far.
that doesn't mean i will be playing any less or any differently,just changing my mind-set a little,that's all.
well on target for the 5000 c4p i have set myself.
anyway,
back later.
gl all.
dev
thank you 4 pointing that mistake out to me.
but i took that ammount off with the evening sessions so my b/roll total is correct.
best wishes buddy
dev
part 2...
lost £26.10
b/roll £636.10
c4p 231
total 4443 = £79.97 to come
another losing session,didn,t run well also only played average i would say,so i was never going to win tonight.
still only £20 down on the day,so no worries.
still happy with c4p this month and i can't grumble even after a few recent losing sessions as i am still up this month with c4p still to be added on.
back tomorrow,
night all.
