I'll be in the main and mini tonight too, gl!
Got completely owned in a hand in a £11 BH at midnight flop came 8 4 3 rainbow I hold QJ it goes check check next card a T I bet he calls last card a 7 I bet big he hero calls ace high "sigh"
Not really happy with my standard of play tonight, so a lot to work on but nice little boost to BR to allow a higher volume of sats for tomoz!
Hope you all had a nice evening, it is a bit cooler so should get some sleep tonight!!

I checked out my scheduled events stats earlier for the 1st time in ages they are as follows:-
1167 tournies played
average stake £7.92
average profit £7.35
ROI 105%
Extremely happy with this but on a bad run so it should improve further!
Hope to see a few of you at the felt today!

I played the £300 rebuy with a £3 buy in, I spent £12 as had an early spew but it paid off in the long run as I stacked up and ran the tournament and each table I was on. Even on the FT I was crushing but then we went heads up, no word of a lie it went on for just over an hour! The blinds where huge at the end but it just wouldn't finished. We got it in 7 times before the last hand and all 7 times the player behind won the hand, tbh this worked out ok for me when I got it in with A3 against KK pre and binked an ace on the river. To be honest though heads up we where evenly matched and both had chances to win but I got it in behind and lost the final hand so fairs fair! But 2nd place is not to be frowned at so I was happy with it, and I am happy with my play throughout.
I then played this 1k double chance which is an excellent tournament and my 1st time playing
I was always under average stack but just waited for opportunities to steal as I wasn't getting the cards to see flops. Luckily I had a little heater when only 2 tables left and got up to an average stack. The other table had scotty77 running the show so my table must of all been aware of this as they slowed down and become extremely passive. I took huge advantage of this and stole so many blinds I doubled my self up ready for the FT.
FT I was 4th in chips but tbh there was a massive chipleader then just 5 around the same figure so I wasn't worried. I chipped up against Scotty with KT in a hand which just played itself out. Flop came QJ rag he bet I shove and turn the straight. This put me up there with the chippy and when it went 3 way we all had similar stacks.
I was extremely lucky to get one of them triple barrel bluffing when I was holding near enough the nuts. So I went in HU again but this time I had more chips.
I really wanted to win this HU so the TV went off and I managed to dominate and got it in with AQ v KT on an ace high board to take it down!
So a good night for cashes but most importantly I got my 1st win back on SKY, which felt like it was never going to come as I had reached 3 FT's I needed this!
Well played.
Outstanding, keep it up you have a challenge to win lol
What are the best mtts to get the bank roll moving the right way?
Deepstacks are going to give you more value for money. If you are serious about building a roll I would recommend trying to sat into ME's but not buying in directly. (unless your BR allows this)
Stay well clear of bounty hunters unless you can get into the ones with a buy in of +£11 it just isn't going to help you improve your game. (Playe these once you have built a roll and just want a laugh but happy to get stacked by suited connectors calling you down to hit miracles)
DYM's are boring so I wouldn't recommend them they also ruin your MTT game as you will become lose your self at late levels in MTT's.
So predominantly I would say sats and £5.50 with guarantees of £100+ are good value and give you a good chance. I play best in rebuys but if you wish to play these set out a plan yourself to only allow 1 rebuy 1 add on nothing more. Basically don't play it as a rebuy. (Odd I know) Also rebuy immediately to start with 200 bigs.
Hope this helps, chuck some hands on here or other questions in the future I need some MTT players to discuss hands with on a regular basis
I haven't played at all today but spent most of the day watching poker vids on MTT strategy and also getting my head around M ratio which I personally think is excellent.
For those who are serious about improving your MTT game look up M ratio it will help you a lot in late stages of tournaments.
I received some abuse in the poker chat forum as well which was fun as per usual. But luckily I couldn't care less as I am running well and enjoying life in general at the moment.
Looking at buying my 2nd house in January next year, there are these new 5% mortgages which I would love to take advantage of because I doubt the banks will keep it up for to long. I would love to eventually retire early and just let out properties but this is a long way away, I am a quarter of a century old (I know horrible isn't it) so I realise this may take some years to achieve. I would like to announce as well that one of the main reasons
The real reason I have not been playing poker for the last 3 months is because I have just had my 1st beautiful baby girl miss Amelia-May. So it was extremely difficult to sit still and try and play a 4/6 hour MTT with someone kicking me from the inside out. Hence saying "I am enjoying life!"
It is extremely weird though I have gone from juggling 3 jobs and working a lot of hours a week to being a full time mum and working every hour of the week! No to be honest she is good as gold and believe it or not she already sleeps for 9 hours at night!! I know what is that all about?
Back to the felt I have taken down my 1st tournament since coming back and it was a decent field as well so I am very happy! I have also final tabled 3 more but loads to work on. I have got 32 hours of MTT poker strategy to get through from various formats (you tube, dvd's and live coaching) so I am going to be a busy girl over the next few months. My partner who also plays has now told me that I can no longer withdraw/deposit from the until I sort out my bankroll management lol it is shocking tbh. I have just purchased an app on my phone to help hopefully, cost me 79p though but don't worry that's not coming out the BR!
I may be able to get late entry to the BH later but may just miss it as I am off down the gym to lose my baby weight. Hopefully I get in and see you all there good luck all!
Kalie
P.S don't worry the baby is well looked after I feed her in the MTT breaks! Unless I am multi tabling sats which have no breaks, then she goes without.
I did strike lucky and sat into the roller which is excellent! Done it in a all in sat couldn't believe it!
I only reached one final table today but only played 5 tournaments so not too bad. I played a few timed ones on top but I don't count them as MTT's they are just a laugh and incredibly easy money at the moment.
I played the big BH for £55 today, I lasted all of about 3 hands!! Got it extremely good with AK v AJ pre flop and that cheeky jack came flying out on the flop and sat there mocking me until the river. Can't complain though I have won my fair share of these late on in tourneys recently. (I actually haven't but by saying this I am hoping the poker gods will allow a few for good sportsmanship)
I played the 9 O'clock rebuy and managed to cash but fell short of the FT by some way finishing 11th! AT v QQ standard. It was arguably the most boring tournament I have ever played as I just had no cards throughout. I didn't set up once, I didn't get a straight. I don't think I flushed at any point, I had 3 premiums all tournament AK x2 AND JJ I did have AQ suited a few times but twice folded pre flop with this.
I posted a hand holding AK in the clinic if you get time please comment on it!
Finally shout out to Larson for achieving the inevitable and taking down a tournament! Nice one and hopefully it will continue!
My BR hasn't gone up or down but I have finished the day with a roller seat so not too shabby!
Kalie
Congrats on yours to!
Yes that hand was a massive cold deck. I prob could of folded the flop but only if I am on my top top game.
I have played probably around 20/25 MTT's over the last 5 days and haven't had the greatest of times to be honest. Did have some luck on cash but that is by the by and a separate BR as it is only ever for fun.
I fell short on the jackpot today finishing 15th in the mini and 21st in the main, but I will go again!
FT a couple of BH's (small buy ins)
Ran pretty poorly in sats this week as well but it wasn't the cards I was just playing poorly. I seem to have refreshed a bit now and am getting some small results coming through.
I must say, these forum comps are excellent the guys who run them and the effort they put in for others to have a laugh is excellent so massive thanks to all those involved in the DTD and the Orford challenge!
I managed to get a cash in the Orfie tonight which was fun and a decent standard of play throughout which definitely helped me get on top of my game a bit. Well done to bugs for TID well played and deserved!
Hope everyone is well gl at the tables
Kalie
Going to play atleast 30 MTT's today so wish me luck I will post results later
EDIT: Also quick update to the BR challenge I set myself, I deposited £50 for tournaments only. I now am on £533.26 I am also up on cash but am not including this as this is an MTT thread. However watch this space I may move over to cash in the not so distant future!
Keep it up and gl
If you have any specific questions then just ask on here or PM, send me some hands if you want I will happily look at them. But I have my own weaknesses so I will only give advice on what I feel I know enough about.
