Ah, I think that was on my table, with the AK v AQ v TT and the tens held. Were you on table 1?

I was on there the whole day, doing well, until my QQ didn't hold against AK just before the end of the day, so went into day 2 really short.

Well After the weekend, had to draw money from my sky poker account, to pay for expenses of the weekend, as this comes from my poker money, not our household money!!! so withdrew £100.

Also My computer got banned from sky poker..... Yes not me but my lap top got a ban.. i will explain....

went to withdraw money and it came up account blocked (or something along them lines) so i contacted sky through sky chat and was told i could play but not from the device i was using..... strange i said has my laptop offended you, after some chat i was told i would receive an e-mail informing me why. Well couldnt play so i went shopping, while in Tesco i get a call from sky fraud team saying my lap top was now ok and i can play from it again... Laptop was in tears earlier when i told it that it had been banned from playing poker with me, but its happy again now...

Any way after withdrawing money and couple of losses today Br stands at: £59 so some work to do to rebuild.

Gary

Largearce

Well BR rebuild is underway, went on tilt earlier, someone winding me up, so decided to play any 2 all in against him.......bad move when he had KK.... had rest rethink and came back refreshed.

BR atm:£82.50

Will stay on £11 tables for a while

Gary

Largearce

been a bit of a funny day today, connection problems an all.

Any way Br stands at £85, (might be £11 more if i get a refund on a game i played last night, because site went off and i had minimal chips left when it came back on) Have contacted customer care and am awaiting their response, i have been told 48 hours before i ask again as they are looking into it.

Gary 

Largearce

Daily update: got my refund from sky for game where site went down (thanks sky), and played a few games lost a few to start with then whent on bit of a run. BR stands at £105 so its going the right way.

Hi Glen ive been playing on Sky for about 3 years now, started at £5.50 tables (was playing fulltilt before, but only for fun tables to learn the game) I only have a small screen, so play 2 tables at a time, 3 at a push, im not good at multi games. so optimum for me is 2, a lot of the time i only play 1 table at a time, as i enjoy chatting to the regs on here and cant do that on more than 1 table at a time. I play usually from £11 to £22, but not to many £22 as Br cant really stand it at the moment.

Anyway, had real bad nith last night, (note to self do not play after drinking) and Br took a hit. need to play better and rebuild.

BR ATM £53.50 with C4PS still to come

hay we all done that, think you can play the world, live and learn, keep going gl

sounds like 1 or both of 2 things.

a) your bankroll management sucks
b) you need to evaluate your play


good luck with your challenge, the whole place is sick. i went to vegas in november to support sam holden on ft (old school friend). pinged 2.7k the night before flying out and then a 2nd place in caesars festival event for 2.5k the 2nd day out there so already have the dollars saved up for next trip

However i definitely recommend investing some money in a membership to a training site to improve your DYM strategy as it's nothing like MTTs Cash and standard SNGs. small tweaks to fix your biggest leaks!

hi Gary,
sorry to see u,ve had a bad nite m8,
unfortunately it happens,
been there myself,haven,t i.
it,s not you m8,it,s poker,it just happens sometimes & there is nothing you can do about it.
well there is only 1 thing i can think of...
bankroll management.
think you just have to accept these nites will happen from time 2 time,and your b/roll has 2b able to survive it.
obviously u have had a couple of unfortunate sessions & your b/roll has simply not been big enough to take it.
think u should just re-load £100 and simply carry on playing,either £11,s or possibly even think about dropping down to £5,s for a day or 2.
don,t let it put you off m8,play again tomorrow,get a win behind you & you will be away again.
it,s tough mate i know,but i know you can do it.
best of luck,
dev

deposit 60 and play £3.30s until you reach 100 and move up to 5.50s. follow a 20buyin rule MINIMUM. you could be stricter but if you can afford it then no need.

Totally agree my Br management sucks.....

And yes my game needs help, i did go down to the lower stake tables and the calls on there were well iffy to say the least. 

Im still up over the last 2 months and when my C4PS cash goes in, i will have had a rest. And will come back and start playing £3.30 to try and rebuild.

Looking back and replaying some of the hands i know ive made mistakes, and must learn from them.

Thanks for the advice ive taken it on board.

Dev its been 3 days of losses, im going to wait for C4PS to be deposited then start playing £3.30 and trying to rebuild. 

As you know my Br management is bad and my play the last few days has been pretty bad, im not moaning i know who is to blame and i can just say that i must have a rethink and perhaps a rebuild of my strategy. 

Keep up the good work in your challenge

You sound like u have a good game and have had some nice cashes, well done.

I have been to Vegas a couple of times but with the wife so not really been able to play. 

Any advice is more than welcome and taken on board, i was on the table at Blackpool SPT with YOYO most of the 1st day and watching him was interesting, and i hope i learnt from it.

Indeed i play a lot diff in DYMs than tournies, 

Thnanks again for your thoughts

Gary

Largearce

Right back on it now.

Here we go, had nothing in my account, played freeroll, cashed for 65p, then went on playing DYMs, managed to turn that ino £14 then let the bankroll management get out of hand again. Thought i was playing well enough to play a £5.50 game.

then things went wrong.

Flop 442 im holding 22 in my hand happy days i think, i bet, result was what i wanted a non believer pushes all in, instant call, when i see Q 10 i think happy days until: Turn 10 river 10 for bigger house, just shows play within your BR and the bad beats dont hurt as much, after another beat 6 7 10  board im holding KK after having my 4 bet called pre i shove hoping to see QQ or JJ only to get called by the monster A3 off, river ace kills me. Br decimated.

C4ps came in Friday £33

Playing £3.30 and £5.50 two tables at a time.

Br as it stands now £55.44 

Just need to be sensible 

Gary

I really enjot this thread but you really can afford to be playing £5 buy ins with a roll of less than 100 -120 quid it may work for a few weeks but just one day will ruin it! As stated above play on a min of 20 buy ins preferably more!
