This is the only thing i can think off that must affect it. Does it have to be x amount of hands played consecutevely to get the pts ? And also you used to have at least 4 players on the table to gain pts although i thought that had changed now

the 2nd bit you maybe confusing that with league points, to earn cash for points you have to be involved in raked hands wether its heads up 6max or 10max. league points are awarded for hands won but hands won in heads up dont count towards the league,
aaaarrrgghhh
bad mini session so a little break required. one of those where nothing got going. had to stop for a break before all the good work i done this afternoon got totally wiped out. managed to wipe out just shy of 4 buyins. running ak into aces twice n kings once done me no favours, luckily only once was for a full stack, the rest went in drips and drabs.
but not to worry, i tend to look at results at the end of the day and they can still look reasonable.
on another topic i noticed the bank holiday weekend happy hours will be offering 60% boost instead of 50% and are running their usual extra 2 hours. mite need to set my alarm:)
good luck with this m8
doubt you'll need much of it though, cetainly not when you've been on the same table as me. maybe i was the fish!!?
don't know how you play for so long at nl4. think i've managed 4 or 5 hours a few times when i put my mind to it but only 3/4 tables. i know where i've been going wrong in trying to build my roll up quicker to have another go at nl8. LOL! no way i could do it for any length of time like you - hats of to you
for some reason i've also found moving up different. i won't say difficult because looking back it wasn''t. i just made mistakes i don't do at nl4. strange! why i don't know.it'll need to change if i'm to reach all the new year goals i told Rich about. gulp! that Orford and his challenges!
hopefully your thread will show people nl4 is beatable. ups and downs are all part of it and sometimes in one direction for a while you've just got to put the time in learning as you go
i know which tables to avoid if i start up again
good luck, David
Reading during my own break.
I think an issue many people have when moving up (including myself) is we think woohoo progress move up and we avoid looking at NL4 tables. NL8 and NL10 can be clambered with regs we dont know, as a result if we started to move up slowly, say 1x NL10, 1x NL8 and 4x NL4 we could balance the variance and slowly pick up notes for NL10 find out who the fish are and who the regs are.
Just a theory and one mistake ive made myself, and i very much doupt im the only one.

day started off well showing a small profit from my early hours session, my mid morning to afternoon session was great, i peaked at £127 when i logged off to go out. this evening the wheels came off and lost almost all what i was up.
i'd like to be able to pinpoint 1 factor but it was a combo of things, i did spend most of the evening card dead but thats no real excuse, i spewed in too many spots that i shouldnt have done. i can recall 4 or 5 pots that i did this in and thats what did a fair bit of damage.
ive had days llike this before and today feels like a loss but i know ive had days when the loss has came first before fighting my way back to break even.
lets see what tomorrow brings, some run good please poker gods
i can be a bit of a sicko when it comes to logging the hours, i think i enjoy it more than im willing to admit.
gl when/if you start playing again and for your goals
I think Don,s made a good point about moving up gradually - I tend to just load up 4 tables at NL10 just like i would at NL4, but obvouisly NL4 is more robotic and table selection becomes more important when moving through the levels as its a totally different game than NL4
the other hand summed things up, i'll dig it out, its a bad beat/cooler that put me at my lowest point br wise
i needed a hand to halt the bad momuntum i was on on it duly arrived, got kk on button flop set on ace high board, turned quads and got paid off by A4. this was much needed and set me off on a good spell. i started clawing back some losses and then got paid off in a monster hand. i had 77 v kk but i'll post this as well.
by the time i finished the session i was in front by £9 so from dropping 5BI tto being up 2BI. its nothing ive not experienced before but i want to highlight the swings that are involved and that its not all plain sailing.
lets dig out those hands
A way around your issue could be simple, arranging your tables in a specific pre meditated manner,
E.g.
NL4 NL4 NL10
NL4 NL4 NL8
Stick to that over time and gradually add a second NL10 or NL8 table when you feel more comfortable you would eventually know what table is which.
Just a theory and not one ive tested myself
Could have been quite easy to tilt after been 5 buy ins down, esp after after losing 7 buy ins previous to that . Will probably join you at some point today as your hard to avoid on there - practically on every table all the time

this might be distorted by the fact it was a tourney and also the level off buyin but when i qualified for the thursday rollers i was always drawn to it even tho i had 3 nl4 tables running beside it. i felt i was losing value by not giving them anywhere near enough attention.
it would definately be worth trying again at some point tho. trial and error
On another note, shared a table with you before, the one where i managed to get 99 all in pre for 100BB (leveled myself v that oppo) but i noticed you dont use auto post blinds. Either that or your lagging pretty badly.
i think you described the symptons i suffer from in another topic. it basically only effects me when im utg and moving from utg to bb. ive lost count of the times it lags when im utg only for it to finally show my cards with only 1 second of the time bar remaining and the amount of times ive been sitting with kk or aa you wouldnt believe. its realy annoying when the screen freezes as im due to post bb this is what makes me miss out even tho ive got auto post on and i miss out
may see you around later then
not what you thought:)

can we wipe the morning session, i really wish i hadnt to logged on so early lol. repaired the damage of losing 5 buyins before lunchtime and the rest of the day went well. cant complain too much. i did play a hel of a lot today and thanks to the extra happy hours i managed to get 200 points today, a new personal best at nl4.
i was involved in a funny hand, i reckon i butchered my part a little but look what i folded and what the others had at showdown, it will be in my nxt post.
i had a blast from the past on one of my tables tonight. a long time ago i used to play tourneys, in fact ive been here from the start. some of you may remeber the old style main events. £10 7 minute blinds 650 runners. well i used to be no good in these mains, i did win regular normal tournies but i couldnt get to grips with the structure, my bust out happened at 21:28 most nights. yes you could set your watch by it. well one night i managed to last a little longer, all the way to the final table no less. i even made heads up. well the person who beat me that night appeared on my table and all i could remember was the thought of binking 2nd and being gutted at not winning but delighted in scooping £877.50. a little spooky.
lets see what tomorrow brings
Suprised at your check on the river tbh
