    Thanks for the support guys

    I am shattered again after another game of squash tonight.... 

    But, before I settle down for the evening, this hand has been playing on me all day... From the main last night. Matt has just arrived at my table and obv i raise from the c/o straight away and he 3 bets... then what :)

    Would a 6 bet shove have got through!? My feelings are yes... The reason I didn't shove was the cleaver sizing from Matt of the 5 bet, made it look like it was trying to induce.... but obv he had some sort of air too!

    A nice levelling battle here, which he won, cos i chickened out!!! #keeping it simple eh! :)

    Ouch ul......one for the conspiracy theorists out there but whenever I have flopped a straight I seem to lose the hand a lot!

    BTW...what is your target? How much do you need to fund your planned trip to Brazil?

    FASAL= Flop a set and lose, can also mean Flop a straight and lose :)

    Money needed for Brazil trip... ALOT! 

    Target it basically as much as i can get... a few grand!

    Meh....

    Just accidentally 8 tabled 20nl... after losing a lot at mtts tonight... just about bricked everything... I was pretty tilted too... Nearly recovered it by finishing deep in the 2k 9.30pm BH, but finished 9th.. 

    Some nasty hands of cash, think i played pretty bad too.... a couple of  key hands may be posted tomorrow... 

    Oh well a big losing session of like minus £170 (following on from a loss of about £50 yesterday) Swongs...

    Current Bankroll £740.25

    C4P 1250 ish.... need 2k for the big freeroll, should be ok...

    Greg,

    In the words of Tony G

    Where is the commitment, where is the heart?

    Nice score the other night.

    always enjoy having a read of the diary

    2am. 

    Ouch. 

    tbf, 8 tabling cash up until 2am on a Friday night is perfect game selection, so at least you're doing that right and not shooting @ 50nl+ or losing at hypers (although that wudnt be bad game selection either).

    Cash hands itt? .......

    Posted by DOHHHHHHH
    Cheers, It would have been perfect game selection if I didnt pay off a couple of the regs... although, tbf I have never played some of them so i was fishing for reads.. There are some oober rocks about though, without mentioning names! one of them is part of a type of noise a bird makes with a food item that also is used on the poker table to make bets... 

    As for playing 50nl/Hypers I have banned myself from these until I feel sufficiantly rolled. 20nl is about the max at the moment. Although, i wish i had banned myself from 11 quid mtts too.... lost loads of them last night, they add up! Also, rebuying in the main, clicking buttons, u dont realise! Anyway, im not going to turn into Lambert... :)

    One of the hands, is this one that I posted in the clinic


    Here are a couple of others... 

    This is a nice standard hand that i think i played well...

    The two hands i am most annoyed about... not maxamizing the value from the turned nuts with 67, and being an idiot station with the Q10 on the river...

    I welcome constructive feedback... thanks

  • edited January 2013
    I'm in no position to dish out any advice but.........now you have built a reasonable BR I think you should start being a bit stricter with your BRM (I'm not saying 8 tabling 20nl is bad brm but having read your diary it wouldn't surprise me if you decided to play some 50nl HU or more drunken hypers lol).

    I have said from the off that I love your high risk stratgey but now you have got yourself in a great position it would be a shame to see you blow the lot over a few drunken sessions. 

    Having said that though....you only live once! Gl m8

    Personally feel 8 tabling is going in at the deep end during this promo.  I'd prob be 6 tabling max/game selecting etc.

    BTW do you have any idea how much your trip is likely to cost?

    Cheers Ryan, The 8 tabling wasnt planned it just happened as i was losing on other tables i wanted to add more to give myself a better chance of recovering the session, because, although it was full of regs, there was also a lot of value about...

    Thanks for advice tho, i will defo take that on board...

    As to the cost... I need several grand... not going to look into specifics for a few months yet..

    I'm in no position to dish out any advice but.........now you have built a reasonable BR I think you should start being a bit stricter with your BRM (I'm not saying 8 tabling 20nl is bad brm but having read your diary it wouldn't surprise me if you decided to play some 50nl HU or more drunken hypers lol). I have said from the off that I love your high risk stratgey but now you have got yourself in a great position it would be a shame to see you blow the lot over a few drunken sessions.  Having said that though....you only live once!

    Not sure how I got out of yesterday's session without a big disaster...

    I was down to under £600 BR towards the end, and needed to salvage something.  Luckily, i managed to get 3rd in one of the £11 BH's and that saved me for the day, but was still the third losing day in a row!

    The BH's on sky are brutal... I have been playing tons of them and the standard is varied. The amount of times i have had to fold big made hands is redic. People like to gamble and overbet shove things, and i know that 9/10 its gonna be the nuts, and i have a strong hand, but it's not the nuts, so i end up folding.

    Very pleased that Tommy is still crushing the big mtts, I took the opportunity to rail his last few tables sliently last night, and learnt a couple of things that i may well put into practice now myself...

    Off today to watch the footie at a mate's house. There will be a gooner, a Man Utd fan and 2 spurs fans in the same room so that will be fun! All we need is a Chelsea fan for it to really kick off! :)


    Current Bankroll £702.67

    Cash 4 thingys- ~1450

    Cheers... Only just +£700 now, but I am not worried, cos it's mtt variance... I need to find a proper grind game that don't bore me to tears... #workinprogress

    Regards to weight, i have lost a couple of LB, but ye, im still ~ 21 stone! Again, I can and will do something about that too.

    Maybe I will get my six pack out on the Cocacobana, in Summer 2014... :)
