    Just caught up with this diary. Entertaining read

    Good to see someone else like me who is a) rubbish at BRM b) gets drawn to high stakes hypers/turbos like a moth to a candle

    Have had to put a deposit limit on this month. Started off with £69 from December C4P. Destroyed that and only had £1.89 on Thursday. Have had a good run on micro HU's and now have £12. No doubt I'll have lost that by the end of the weekend... but at least I can't deposit any more til Feb

    I still plan to go to Brazil in 2014... but only via Google StreetView!

    Hoggers 

    Ive seen you around the new rebuy mtts, whats your opinion of them. I think that sky should promote them more, and I am not talking about the £50 gtees which are a waste of time. 

    Not sure if you remembered your aj vs my ak shove where you binked your flush the other night but I just sigh laffed!

    As the plan is for you to go to Brazil next year, have you done any research into interesting stuff about the place, as your roll builds im sure it would add an extra dimension to educate us a bit about brazilian culture and things to do over there.

    Interview with GaryQQQ

    We are both in the PLO Freeroll today... I see his name in the lobby, so i run over with a mike. I really admire this guy, due to his dicipline...

    GREGHOGG> hi gary
    GREGHOGG> just a quick one to say gl
    GaryQQQ> cheers greg
    GREGHOGG> hope u get a breakthru soon
    GREGHOGG> see u on the ft :)
    GaryQQQ> ty ty
    GaryQQQ> hope so
    GREGHOGG> u gonna addon?
    GREGHOGG> may as well imo with ur edge worst case u get it back?
    GaryQQQ> no, need to conserve my balance
    GREGHOGG> wish i had your dicipline
    GREGHOGG> obv i dont and thats the reason my br goes up and down alot
    GaryQQQ> need top 13 to justify an add-on
    GaryQQQ> 14th wins 90p
    GREGHOGG> addon is only 50p
    GaryQQQ> 90p - 50p = 40p profit
    GREGHOGG> if u get 52nd u win 2p
    GaryQQQ> 52nd with no add-on makes 50p profit
    GREGHOGG> ye but its all releative
    GREGHOGG> cos if u take the addon u have more chance of the 25 quid
    GREGHOGG> ur aim has to be the 25 quid?
    GREGHOGG> or is it just to get 52p so u keep ticking over
    GaryQQQ> yep, add-on still not justified
    GaryQQQ> 52nd - 13th place finish far more likely than 1st, even with dd-on
    GREGHOGG> u are right technically and mathmatically
    GREGHOGG> what u are doing tho, is being very clinical
    GREGHOGG> and taking the gambling out of poker
    GaryQQQ> I cant gamble yet
    GREGHOGG> isnt there a side of u that just thinks **** it
    GaryQQQ> will have to later
    GREGHOGG> ?
    GaryQQQ> yep, I can surpress it for now
    GREGHOGG> ur a better man than me anyway, i said it was a quick one... gl 
    GREGHOGG> speak later
    GaryQQQ> gl
    GREGHOGG> u mind if i copy and paste that chat for my diary?
    GaryQQQ> no, thats fine
    GREGHOGG> cool ta
    GREGHOGG> kind of an interview
    GREGHOGG> :)

    Just had a breakthrough on Stars... It did owe me some luck....

    Came 3rd out of over 800 people in a $2.20 +R Hyper turbo NL Hi/Lo! I was in for ~$12

    Got $793 

    1st was double that and second just over a grand... I tried to deal 3 handed but the Russians were not having it!

    Going to withdraw some of that and transfer it on here.... :) watch this space...

    So this diary is now extinct/no more/ended/completed?

    I have decided to start a diary.

    Starting with £11.00*


    I do not intend to withdraw anything i win, just keep building is the plan, to get on the plane to Rio in 2014. 

    *might reload if necessary soon but to no more than £50. 



    Will you be starting a new diary now then? :)

    LOL

    The good thing about having a diary is that the terms and conditions are variable Maxy.....

    I don't set things in stone... but i will always be honest if i deposit/withdraw

    satted into primo tonight for 6 quid... after a really bad day on sky tbh, was down to my last 30 quid or so, and tried to not play the primo and keep the 55.

    Anyway... I had to play it and min cashed for  ~£100... happy, but i could have gone alot deeper...

    here was the key hand, which was shown on tele... I wanted to find a fold on the turn but i decided there were draws and 2 pair combos i could beat... Also Ryan said my sizing was not big enough. I welcome comments....

    Hi Greg

    You said you welcome comments, so here's my thinking:

    Pre-flop: I like min-raising when we are so shallow, I do the same.

    Flop: I prefer a bit bigger as it is kind of wet, but I probably only go like 2500-2750, and I certainly don't think 1/2 pot is terrible.

    Turn: Imo the turn sizing is fine, I might go a tiny bit bigger.

    Overall I think any criticism for the way you played it would just be nit-picking.  Hope your run-good continues and look forward to seeing you on the tables soon.

    Managed a min cash for 19th in the main, lost a flip against IDCU's mate for a huge cash... 

    ....but doubled my money for like £67.50

    Bankroll is now truely on track... £403.93

    This has been done mainly from mtts. I have made some small adjustments to my mtt game recently. Not going to give huge amounts away, but I am a bit more risk adverse at crucial stages. My game has gone full circle from supernit, to agro donk, back to, hopefully... somewhere in between :) - Making adjustments against different players and focusing more on decision making...

    Who reckons I should have a bash at cash now Ive got a reasonable bankroll?

    Just a quick one as i am very tired- satted into the main tonight for £7.20

    Went on to get 3rd for £591, was alot of play 3 handed where i thought i was on top, as stacks were deep. But I lost the big flip JJ vs AK for an even bigger payday...
