this is about the ak v ak v ak hand
yeah the hand we played i wouldnt be trying those things in many spots against the average player and certainly if it wasnt heads up. i got lucky on river and didnt think i get worse to call me. defo leveling. as you said it did turn out to be an interesting one
Fwiw i dont mind losing to you expessially when the hand has so many talking points, when i clash with some of the other regs its just big on big. These are the kind of hands that will develop us for moving up the levels. When we get there.
in played for around 14 hours yesterday which is more than normal. i added extra playing time around the extra 2 happy hours that are running til tuesday. im gonna try an stick to the same schedule til then. im closing in on the 500 point toal just now, not sure if i will get 200 points like i did yesterday but will be close.
when ive got it in my head to play and play theres not much that will drag me away. i had to force myself to log off at 2am
as u obviously enjoy playing so much,wouldn,t it pay u to play dym,s
as the c4p are so much better.?
i think i remember u saying u don,t enjoy them that much,
but i,m sure you,d beat them easy...
if i can do it,...say no more.
just a thought.

reality. even to reach minimum wage for 40 hours i would need to have a win rate of 50bb/100 hands on 6 tables. even i dont run that good
as it is just now the c4p is a bonus on top of winnings. i set a target because i know how much i play and sometimes i like to push myself a little to see where my limits are.
never say never, i may try a serious session at them one day but i enjoy the cash games just now
Correct sir, and the dog in TIN TIN was called Scotty i believe.

not much to say about today, it was mostly uneventful. i was never behind but at the same time i was never much in front. today was the definition of a grind. still showing a reasonable profit for today so i will take it.
i managed to pass the 500 c4p mark inside 3 days which im quite pleased at. at least theres an amount on display on the widget.
what will tomorrow bring?
Even thought about doin my own diary after reading yours although ive done it before and given up , but have had good start to month which makes it easier _ I would have to include dym,s satelies and everything seperate although i,ve mainly got back to cash thx to this thread in a way as NL4 is agr8rt game but gotta say it takes some discipline to do the hours your doin on 6 tables as well (looking forward to the rezising of tables) - can finally have more than 4
EDIT - just gone 5am and still 3tables running at NL4 making it the most popular/played game
weekends will always be busier than weekdays when it comes to games running into the early hours of the morning. i just found a lot of tables break up and you end up playing short handed or having to move about a lot.
i know things have been discussed about the amount of diaries that have started up but dont let that stop you if you want to start writing one again. it would give another dimension to what im doing.
do you play in standard view? im always in mini view but 6 is the most i can do on my tiny monitor. i think i could handle more but the equipment cant
The thread title is amusing, as I know you crush this level, but with you on so many tables it may become unbeatable.
Also there seem to be a lot of higher level players dropping down from time to time to prove that it is beatable.
One thing I'd be interested in is your BB/100 rate, if you keep those stats. would love to see that included, but understand if you would rather keep that to yourself !
Anyway good luck with the job search & keep running good.
im only on 6 tables. when im trying to start a session mid evening every spare seat that pops up seems to contain yourself at the table, i sure your on more tables than me when you play:)
i have also noted a few players dropping down. i said in previous post about my runner up spot in the open and the player who beat me. well i know at the time he was playing a lot higher as i'd see him on the tv tables quite frequently.
tbh i dont keep detailed stats on number of hands i play or have a detailed bb/100 hands figure. im a little lazy when it comes to that side of things. i kind of estimate the number i play by how many points i earn. if i was to run some rough numbers off the top of my head it would be around the 15bb/100 mark but that is a very rough number. i really should start logging these stats myself for a more accurate figure
at nl4 i dont feel fully comfortable til i have 40 buyins so if i was to adopt this to nl10 i'd be looking at having £400 in my account. im not 100% comfortable having that much in an account dedicated to poker atm due to being out of work. when circumstances change i would defo be trying the move up again.
yes the increased points would be good and if i was putting in the same volume at a higher level i'd be making priority each month but from the sample ive played so far im losing there,not a huge sample but enough to get an idea. i dont want to rely on breaking even in the hope to get a decent payout from c4p. i'd much rather it be a bonus on top of winnings.
til the time i step up and start to become even a little successful at the higher level im always gonna be lurking around nl4
i said i'd write the good with the bad well heres the bad.
i settled down for the evening grind well the grind didnt last long about 40 mins. a lot of damage done in that time. i should have maybe stood earlier and saved myself a little but when i started calling a few iffy raises from the blinds i knew it was time. 40 mins 5 buyins down:(
1 table in particular done the damage where i lost 3 buyins to the same person inside 5 mins. wont bore you all with too many details but it was AK v67off in pre, AK v KQ allin pre and then flopping a set of 8's on a J84 2 hearts flop getting all in v Jd7h going runner runner flush.
think it was the fact that this happened so close together tipped me towards tilt. i tried to hang around but i started bleeding chips in silly spots. i didnt want to stand but it was best that i did before anymore spewed away.
time to compose a bit and return in a better frame of mind
I don,t know if you play any other games but i find its worth playing the odd satelite and DYM on here as well which mixes it up and have also started playing $5 or $10 dollar STT,s on another site (6 players and they they pay 1st 3 ) where i,ve got a nice little graph goin over about 100 games ( but i can use my HUD on there and pre-select games). I think my main site will always be Sky tho
Then every so often try again at moving up from NL4 to NL8 or 10 but gradually - a bit like the Don said and as long as your rolled for it which you should be from your other winnings and NL4 until eventually you learn to bt it
As for the diary i,m not bothering as i don,t like showing to many hands and stuff on the forum as it does advertise the wat you play a bit although it does have its benefits as well
Don,t play more thn 4 table sat present due to overlay but hoping with th resizing coming i will try 6 at NL4 and see how it goes

the day hadnt been going in any direction till 6pm and that fateful short session i described earlier.
i returned but i started off a bit silly again losing a little and was down £26 from where i started the day. wasnt til late on before i started winning hands again. hitting quads several times helped and 1 pot was worthh just over £15. im actually pleased i can report a small loss on the day considering where i was at one point.
Sick Grind
Best of luck
You seem to be off to a pretty decent start. Long may it continue. Hope to see you at the higher leveles in the future ! (sure you could crush nl10) and c4p would be massive with the hours you put it.
Keep it going mate
