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? Posted by waller02
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!
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...
OH must congratulate the Doc... Roguecell on her mini turbo victory tonight!!! WP Clur

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).

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

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? Posted by scotty77
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..

11quid to 700+ pretty good that m8, and its ony jan.+1 to what waller said.
you still 21 stone? you are going down a slippery slope there mate, how good it would be if you made the dosh and lost the pounds for 2014, gl on both challenges m8
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!

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...

N1 keep it up
I need to change my notes on you Hoggers
Nice advertising btw lol.
Some awesome results there sir, keep it up.
BTW...what is your target? How much do you need to fund your planned trip to Brazil?
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
