I am still relatively new to cash so thanks for your advice.......the reason why I checked was simply to trap (unless the guy has bigger flush I am very unlikely to get outdrawn), let somebody with an ace in his hand improve further etc...this is a tactic I often employ in mtts and it seems to work a lot.
But reading your comment I take it that it is best to bet all 3 streets?
What does this bit mean, you have lost me?
Thanks everyone else for your kind words......I actually played as bad as I have in a while, I was behind when my chips were in the middle a few times....I even had an hours worth of abuse from one player to go with it, but I aint complaining
I feel it's more of a battle when you are facing the same names on a regular basis.......I got outplayed at times but I also took down a couple of big pots myself.......the way I see it at the minute is there are far far better players at the level I'm at but I feel I can improve and hold my own in time.
Most importantly, I'm enjoying it!
I didn't play any 20nl tonight and just 4 tabled 30nl with a mix of mtt's (with no success).

However towards the end of the session I lost 2BI......i think both were pretty standard.....flopped set losing to flopped straight and AK losing A8 on a xAxA board....river 8....maybe a better player than can find the fold in these spots dunno???
Anyway ended the session just over 1BI down no great drama....probs play a bit more later

Due to recent cashes in MTT's I have decided to give myself a bit more to play with before I drop down....if/when I get to -£200 i will drop back down to 10/20nl until I build back up....gl at the tables guys

No more tonight.......
Played a couple of mtts tonight...itching for a game of poker, but I soon realised how frustrating the game can be....highlighted when my AK<AQ in the open, this thread is to track my cash game though so won't go into detail about the tourneys.
Right, I have decided to stick soley to 30nl........tonight went ok, I only played 3 small sessions around an hour each......results

Away from the cash tables I thought I would try my luck at a £5 sat to get into the UKOPS 3 semi......I have never been so lucky to scrape through, I start off well and get to the ft in 3rd with 4 seats up for grabs. All bar 1 of us have similar stacks.....I lose a big pot KQ<45 and I'm down to 725 chips and on my way out. l double up when I'm auto all in and somehow manage to scrape through to the semi as others clash.
So, I play the semi thinking I have used all my luck and wont get through, but the poker gods were smiling on me and I have now qualified for my 2nd UKOPS main event. Would have been happy to qualify for one but I'm now in two 110 buy in mtts for a total investment of around 20 quid.........a lot of the higher stakes players will be thinking "wow big deal" but for smaller stakes players like myself the chance to play in these big mtts doesnt come around too often, so I'm happy

Right, I'm off to put my lottery numbers on
So, from now on I will only play 30nl and see if I can get back into profit as far as the cash goes.......I'm 10 days in now and have probs played around 20-30 hours and I'm yet to be in profit. The most severe losses have come from mastercash tables at 20nl which is the reason I am avoiding these from now on....still loving playing cash though which is the main thing plus a good session or 2 and I'm right back in profit (here's hoping)

not enjoying poker at the start of day 11 though.........such a donk call ruins my chances in the Ukops qtr.....7 seats, 10 left I'm 5th....no need to get involved blind on blind, I raise with AJ villain calls....Ace high flop, I bet, villain raises.......get the lot in on the turn..villain has AK SIGH....why did I call?????
Easily my worst night since I started this thread.....as mentioned above, I wasted a glorious chance of getting into the UKOPS semi for the BIG one (the one I really wanted more than the others), 7 seats up for grabs and I went from 5/10 to out through nothing but my own stupidity......that pretty much set the tone for my whole evening.
More than slightly tilted/annoyed with myself I played the 12kBH....AWFULLY......it's 8.15 and I'm gone after handing my chips over to wacko with more poor play from myself. I had half an hour break from the tables to try and sort my head out before proceeding to a session 5 tabling 30nl...........can you guess what's coming next??????
Now, I didnt actually play too bad. I lost a few smallish pots with hands I should probs have layed down but it wasn't long before tilt started creeping in.....I have KK get 3 callers and there's an Ace on the flop....ffs....I have 2 pair but the turn card that gave me the 2 pair gives the villain the straight etc...etc...One of those nights when I hit the flop but somebody else hits it even bigger or I have a MASSIVE draw and miss everytime
This hand below pretty much sums it up........absolute dream of a board, I'm thinking cheers lads 60+ quid for me ty.....finally luck has changed........

At this point I should have switched off and called it a night..but no I had to stay on and donate a few more like this hand below...I'm on full blown tilt here and this was my last hand of the session....My head was gone here....is it a b/f or c/f on the river??? either way I snap called, screamed and stood from all tables.......my heart rate and blood pressure are just about back to normal now lol

I'm off to bed to have a little cry haha
Gl at the tables all
Unlucky mate
Hand 2 an easy c/f??
Also I have posted a hand in the clinic if you wouldnt mind giving your thoughts..........I have played sooo poor tonight
Right i'm done for the night.......vast improvement from last nights showing.
Sat down to a cash session and 5 mins in things seemed to be progressing the same way when I lost a BI to a well known reg on here KK V AA......stone the crows here we go again....wont say who it was but dont tell ur
mum
I think the big difference was that I didn't tilt this time, I'm 5 minutes in and no need to lose my head. I'm learning more and more that tilt is prob the biggest killer in cash games. In a tourney tilt can get the better me but the worst that can happen is you lose ur stack and it's game over, but in cash tilt has caused me to reload out of stubborn pride and cost me more.
Anyway, tilt free I stuck with it and sat down for a longer session than I usually would and managed to put myself back in profit for the night.
Job done and I settled in for a few mtt's....luck was on my side and I cashed I all of them apart from the mini open.
A 6th place in the Orfordble (which is a must for all forum regs) meant I had also won a free seat into next weeks open rebuy and 8th in a £400Bh brought some cash and much needed confidence back.
I had satellited into the rebuy open tonight. I am not normally a fan of rebuys but this tourney has a great structure and for the buy in it has recently been a fav of mine, although I am yet to cash........until tonight.
I sat in for 2.40, took the addon and pushed on from there. I have just busted out in 11th but for a player like me having a sniff of a big cash is always great....I was in reasonable shape but lost my stack in 2 hands where both times I was a favourite......sigh. Having said that I won a big pot A5 />AQ to get in good shape in the first place..........thats the beauty of poker, swings and roundabouts!
Poker is one of 3 big loves in my life alongside football (GTFC) and most importantly the 3 girls in my life, my missus and my 2 daughters aged 9 and 5............well poker and football are taking a backseat tomorrow as I'm under strict instructions from my kids to take them to see Madagascar 3........and you know what, I can't wait..........beats and bad runs happen in poker, but in the real world when your doing things that really matter with people you love......who cares!!
Win or lose at poker I know I'm already a lucky bloke
