I'm completely disinterested in your futile challenge, but glad to hear your mum is better.
Keep up the good work and see you in tonights DTD.
Mum doing so much better, eating food and drinking tea )

DYM broke even (bit bored of DYM's already) _ cash lost some due to little spewage and people hitting invisable turn @ river cards ------- hihi TINTIN thanks for the set ! Can you please leave me alone now - thanks )

3xNL50 soon if I feel like it's getting a bit toooooooo zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yeah cheers, kicking treatment is /> than Mum being ill 24/7 - spiralling into depression
Even though it will not give as long with us, at least she will have sometime where she will actually be able to get out and about and do some stuff. At the end of the day it's not curable, she's dieing - simple !
Hopefully she will get to see her last xmas this year, cross fingers and all that.
As for poker I won the DTD last night ) Got in from the Hospital about 8:45 - sat down went to work and lucked my way to deep run in two.
Now this thread has a massive egde to it because if I do manage to win some big money in a MTT, it will be for a few days get away for the whole family - every penny counts right now )
quote of the day
"It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln
Sun is shining, the birds are chirping and I lost then won some money playing NL10 last night - current £175
Ran so well last night it was amusing, played about 6-7 tables + some MTT's -
I can't play them DYM's - sorry but they just don't hold my attention enough - so back to just cash for this futile challenge.
Anyway as you may be aware I do play MTT's, my profit/loss is not included in this thingy because well I started it as a cash exercise so that's what it is -
I played mini open last night and was so so deep - last 40 or something may even last 20 - can't remember
Going to post this hand in clinic anyway as I am not sure if this is ok - maybe I could fold flop or raise bigger pre ?
oppo donks pot into me - I was hoovering over the fold button as I thought I could find a better spot - but last minute I called thinking draw TPGK - should I fold TPTK here
I got 17bb behind
poker - not much doing with cash - running break even at the moment - current = £155
At the moment I have been watching some training vids and it's helped me look at certain things another way, kinda moving up to the next stage in learning - very enlightening tbh - never stop learning )
played the £33 BH last night as I won seat via DTD and I binked 1st ) j/k I wish - busted after 10 mintues
played the mini BH and the same happened as above and in both exit hands oppo turns broadway GG!
Hand above btw - I shove oppo shows 64o - I don't improve
run golden
Marc
I would say sign up to a training site and work through the vids
They kind of come in stages, and you just work through them as you see fit
Some vids at high levels just go straight over your head, while others make sense - just finding a level and trying to then work through them -
Been playing for 4 years, started on full tilt playing $2 & $5 turbo SNG's for fun and played live pub poker both SNG & cash.
Really started playing properly since 2010 - started playing cash poker in 2011 online in an attempt to win some money to fund my MTT play online. Since then I suppose I am more of a cash player but hold my own in MTT + SNG's.
I don't think you can play poker and be risk averse so yeah I like a gamble and take some risks.
Especially in MTT's because they so much come down to a larger amount of luck towards the end in fast MTT's structures.
Excepting your going to bust in the majority of MTT's you play, means getting your chips in becomes a lot easier )
I suppose yeah I am an allround aggressive player, not only in the DTD.
Controlled agression is a must though, being aggro with FE + outs is so much better than a stone cold aggro move.
DTD is a special little thing, I find it very strange that it's a deep stacked but most people just wait around and don't play with so many bb's. Funny cause it's like a nice cash game if you play from the start, but most Monday night I don't get online till 8:30 - I still have a playable stack though )
If it don't work out I'll tap you up for a dog )
current £195
Played the mini open last night and was on a very lively table and my stack went up and down like a yoyo - twas fun )
Went through a hand where I knew oppo had trip two's, don't know why I still called lol - took the view he may have TPTK which I beat so I'll go for the big top ten chip stack early - but in hindsight oppo always has the two lol
Eventually went out when I called an obvious weak pre raise and lead with a jam - oppo calls with AK lol plus oopo has flush draw on flop - o well that didnt work - onto the next MTT - lets just say I should of sat back a bit more and waited for better spots considering the table -meh-
Like building faith in your own game, and once you have enough faith you can fold knowing your right.
For example it's more important to have confidence in your game when you running bad, rarther than when your running good.
Think in most situations it's like ok oppo probbaly got this and I am beat but oppo could also have this that I beat so.... in 15secs we do stuff that in hindsight maybe we shouldn't - doesn't mean we should beat ourselves up over it - anyone can study a hand history for a few minutes and come up with the right play -
Not that many that can do this while playing 12 tables and keep playing totally perfect.
Why is today not sunny ! Going out today with the kids, popping over after a kids party to see my Mum.
Probably go to the park/pub/dinner and do some pretty normal stuff, which I for one is very pleased about.
Don't think I said but she was discharged from the hospital on Friday night, she still doing ok - so much better - eating - getting dressed in the morning, going out )
My partners Mum is now in hospital with heart problem, don't just rain it pours !
Why do all these bad things happen at once, so not right.
Played some NL10,20 & NL50 cash last night, won £80.
Would of liked to do a longer into the night but with work and early starts it's just not possbile.
My eyes start shutting and that's it midnight = bedtime.
xmas kids dog fund £275
with the xmas dog fund now building nicley I can afford to play some NL20+
See how that goes_ this ain't not BRM - this is for the kids !
have a nice day
Well played Rancid, keep it going and you can get 2 dogs
back home - back online and some numpty saying this rubbish )
think I left table with more money than you :P
think my 3 bets were more effective than yours tbh !
Played some NL20 from 8 ish - boring session - was watching X factor, True blood (new season) while playing - lost £10
I was only playing 3 tables on the laptop as I did feel quite tired after the days events )
played a couple of MTT's, doing ok then booom out like last 40 in both
first AIPR my AQVA10s - oppo binks flush obviously
other short stacked 10bb, shove AQ called by two both holding AK - cmon the Queen - queeny didn't show
Playing DTD later, gotta keep my points up for the monthly Tikay money )
Marc
Yer mums in my prayers
played some NL20 - now £315
stll playing but won't be updating tomorrow, o so tired and it's only 10pm
still in one DTD3 -_- just doubled up with QQ cause I am a rock init
oppo on my right is called timeforbed, he may knock me out )
I played some poker last night, not for too long - maybe 2 hours before I just got bored - watched the Lederer files for a bit - not all of it as it was do drawn out zZzZz
So much has been said about this allready, quite simply too many people with too much money who frankly did not care about how the company was run.
If they actually took the time out and showed an intrest in how the company was run, then the situation would never have happened
All these players took chunks of money from the company in the form of distributions !
Well give the money back ? Seriously I don't know how Phil Ivey and others have escaped the wrath of the poker community while Lederer/Ferguson are being held accountable
But you will never know the full truth
I lost about $500 when it went down, I was so gutted - like a lot of other people - while it's not a lot of money - it took me ages to get to $500 through $5 SNG's -
I won some money last night playing NL10-NL30
current dog budget £345
how much do dogs cost anyway :S
played some NL20 - won some
current woof woof money £380
current £395
played some nl10,20 mainly - enjoyed a brief session in some MTT's but everyone kept hitting there draws (
started off well in the mini BH - top ten - then in three hands I went a bit mad lol - I blame the tiredness
Saying that I kept mis reading my hands while playing 9 tables, thought I had trip Q's - I had K10 lol
On a personal note, Mum is still depressed - see her last night after work and it's hard work just getting a conversation going - she going to see a counsellor on Monday so hope that will help.
I am left feeling totally powerless, depression is such a fcuked up thing.
Espcially hard when you see someone you love go through this, and such a massive person in your life.
She don't talk, smile - nothing - even a wry smile seems like a massive effort
So many mixed emotions, I wanna smack her around the face and hug her all at the same time -
need some sleep now
nn )
