today i managed to just scrape through the freeroll and qualified for the 2K BH and in the MTT itself i finished 13th
i think the early stages of MTT's are now no problem for me it is now the task of getting onto the final table even if it means risky decisions.
Friday has finally seen me get my winning MTT, the MTT itself was the orfordable league
but the main was not so lucky and so I finished that one with 2 just 2 Heads
My day overall was a cash table loss of -9.59 (£7.96 nl8 1.05 nl4 2.29nl4) (-£4.31 nl8 -£6.25 nl4 -£0.33 nl4 -£10 MS challenge).
In SnG I I got a loss of -£2.85 (-£2.25 -£3.30 £2.70).
The MTT that was a total of £130.02 (£120.14 orfordable £22.50 main -£3.60 sat -£3.62 mini -£1.80 x 3 AI sat).
Overall I gained £117.58
so my BR now stands at £249.30 including the pounds for points from November of £18.31
my poker points are now 496
I have lost over £100 from mainly nl10 and basically it was all about the fish and not the hit miss that I usually have.
BR is £139.
i seen it all now and can only say one thing i call too many times
their is no such thing as value betting, on micros it is either constant min raise, call call call AI, or jam right away. also premium pairs still need to be included in the range
On Tuesday night going into Wednesday morning all them bad calls, mega betting, cooldown, loosing flips and min donks caused a bit of tilt and I was chasing my money which made it low and so I decided to deposit £25.
my BR is currently £23.89+£25depositwhy am I having all these bad periods?
the answer I have not being listening to music while playing.
the session I have just done was relaxing right from the start with 5 tables up (4 when the freerolls started) and not once did I get negative I just remained relaxed and managed to get profit on all 5 cash tables. £2.91 £0.82 £1.95 £1.11 £0.97 overall £7.76
had this been a hand last night I would have been likely feeling annoyed wishing I left the table when I had the chipstack of £9 but this afternoon I just remained totally relaxed xSmall blind £0.02 £0.02 £2.36 0992 Big blind £0.04 £0.06 £5.23 Your hole cards 8 A RB241 Fold oldyorky Call £0.04 £0.10 £3.46 clubhammer Fold craigcu12 Raise £0.16 £0.26 £7.21 xCall £0.14 £0.40 £2.22 0992 Fold oldyorky Fold Flop Q J 6 xCheck craigcu12 Bet £0.30 £0.70 £6.91 xRaise £0.60 £1.30 £1.62 craigcu12 Call £0.30 £1.60 £6.61 Turn 8 xAll-in £1.62 £3.22 £0.00 craigcu12 Call £1.62 £4.84 £4.99 xShow A A craigcu12 Show 8 A River 4
I went for 1 attempted BH and finished just past the bubble so lost 18p and although it was a limp caller who then snap jammed on the river which I called without thinking of looking at his bet size, this time I didn't get one bit of stress and nor did the flips I lost or the chance of jams that I folded and would have won cause any stress either. I did try a timed one with the money but it was a failure so I lost -5.68 but I did not get tilted like I was in recent days.
after the timed MTT i had one last cash session and it was another good one, it did get a few losses of -£1.38 -£2.04 and -£1.50 but i didn't let that get in the way of how i was on the winning tables which got £3.25 £0.37 £1.70 and £6.18 on an action table so that session was 90p profit
overall today i made profit of £8.66
was another good relaxing afternoon session I did get larger profits from tables than yesterday but their were 2 losses too.
overall my bankroll has increased by £6.31, profits £5.63 act £5.46 and £0.74 nl4 losses were -£4 and -1.52 nl4.
the BR now is £33.76 (didn't include the £25 deposit)
now it's freeroll time and a few SnG.
the freerolls were quick bust outs so I went for some SnG and overall they came to profit of £1.60.
my bankroll now is now £124.01 without the depositI did enter the semi for the main event after failing to qualify from 2 sats for the semi the semi itself did get me into the main.
so having qualified for the main event it would be so great if I could get on the final table and managed to get a very good start with lots of hands coming my way. I did get past the bubble too and was still looking good but then came what was another of them passive type players who called with 99 and me holding 77 in the BB decided to jam and to my surprise the person who did an open raise folded instead it was the caller who called and what did he have 99 and hit the set which left me almost dead. still I finished 49th so got profit overall of 93.75
the mini was not so luck and I went out that very early.

the poker today was all about all in sats.
my worst hand was the way I wasted this oneI did have a cash session to begin but it was quiet and got boring after a while and I was switching tables frequently, I had a total of 8 tables and got £1.06 made up from £2.14, £0.42 and £2.10 and -£1.22 -£0.10 -£1.48 £-0.80 and £0.00.
MTT's you could say I should have just registered for the main event because £42.80 was the cost from sats and semis mainly all in. as for the main event well that didn't go so well and I got just 1 head prize of £11.25 today.
the same can't be said about a £750 BH where I was able to finish 5th place

the orford league was not so good for me today and after winning it last week I went out it without getting past the bubble this week
finally I was in the mini and it too didn't go that well and the only money I got from that was when I went all in with a short stack and had 2 other smaller stacks who went all in too as well as a larger stack and I won the 2 heads.

Saturday through to sunday morning was like a game of two halfs.
the first session of the day was poor both cash and MTT, with cash I had an overall loss of £5.91 (-£9.70 -£0.71 £4.50) from 3 action tables. The MTTs were very poor and lost £32.70 and having got into the main at first attempt through a semi I had the cool down of all cooldowns KsJs vs QQ 9s Qs 10c 7d all in on the turn so having thought I was out I see what looked the card I wanted on the river but wrong that was not the FH I wanted and he won KsQsJs10s9s.
the mini itself was looking a very early exit too and at one point I was down to just 40 chips but I did retrieve the chipstack back to 3K for a while but it wasn't long before I went out.
I don't know what I was thinking when I went all in with J10s after a player decided to donk me on the flop AAK all I can think was the reason for that is I was getting to wound up about limpers and caller who all of the suddenly will go for a massive bet.
I was about to go to bed and just try forgetting that night when I saw the charity table so decided to stay up for most the night and play on that table and things had changed totally, having lost £38 so far and seeming to make bad decision nl10 but what sounded like a big risk turned out to be a very good cash session and in that cash session I made a profit of over £70.59 including one MS table alone getting £54.92 I had 5 nl10 table in that period (-£5.75 £13.09 £1.17 £5.71 £4.20) 2 MS tables (£54.92 £3.09) 2 action (£8.14 £0.49) and 1nl4p which was the charity table and although I lost the most money on that -£14.47 I don't care as that table was my favourite table of them all and I really enjoyed the chat it we had on it so thanks all.

my bankroll is now without the £25 deposit I did £176.79 poker points this month 2226
today was a MTT day and overall it finished as a loss. I tried to get into the main but failed and the total spent was nearly as much as the BI (5 all in sats 2 semi and 1 £3.60 sat) so I lost £27.
I was doing well in DTD 3 too then came a one of them spots where it was all or nothing and i would have either trebled up or lost it all i had AK and the others hand QQ and JJ the turn did improve me to a flush but it was no to be so i went out that one. so finished 24th in it.I decided to enter 1 timed MTT for £3.30 and that was a failure as was the mini too.
I did have 1 good MTT and that was the DTD1 which I managed to finish 4th
craigcu1204£23.81
DTD2 was the only one which i didn't see much lucky so went out of that one early.
my overall loss for the day was -£17.49.
My BR might be at a loss today but my MTTs today still managed profit because in the 7pm freeroll i was able to get myself a seat into the UKOPs day 1 side event which has a BI of £55 and was very unlucky not to get into the UKOPs 1 itself.
so my BR as it stands is now £149.30 +£55 UKOP side.
i am going to keep that £25 deposit out of my BR total as i want to see if i can still reach my target of £300 before jan.
today was another good MTT day this time with the turbo main where I managed to finish 26th so overall I made a profit of £17.37 as I decided to go for the full BI and I did try 2 £2.40 sats.
I did manage a small prize by knocking out 2 players, 1 was when I jammed K5o and got called by AQ but flop came K44 and the ace failed to follow, the second one was when I got to see a flop with 109s OTB as AK just called an open bet that was done by UTG rather than 3bet himself then when the flop showed KQJ he bet so I raised and he went all in so I called and stayed ahead. so my loss in that MTT was just -£1.74
I did play a few SnG today 3 in total 2 £1.15, 1 £5.50 hi lo and they all were won so I made profit in them £6.20
My only bad thing today was cash and it had a lot of big losses which added up overall to a loss of -£16.46, to start with I was on 1 action and 1 nl10 and they were both losses of £5.23 and £6.41, then I tried a few MS tables and they didn't go that well today either and only 1 of the 3 I had was profit and that was £5.01, the 2 losses I had were -£2.86 and -£13.17, finally after I went of the main I tried 3 action tables and they were the best tables with a profit of £3.99 and £3.40 and just 1 loss of -£1.19.
the overall total i got today in poker was £7.11 profit.
so my BR is now £154.67 poker points is now 2374
perhaps I should have taken a break from sky poker today instead of Wednesday because the day itself was very poor.
I did have 2 pints whilst I was out for a meal but the way I reacted to some of my beats I guess even 2 pints of lager can cause mistakes and make it harder to accept a beat.
my loss was massive -£36.72 was from MS tables and today was one too many because even if I have a hand that I really want to ask about the chances are they will just ignore me so i might as well stay on nl4 where it's easy and i don't have to ask for advice on hands.
as for MTTs well they lost £85.28 mostly from that main event and it's sats.
so my BR after today is £22.23.
Friday will be a day where i will spread my poker out.
Craig,
Having looked through your recent posts, I have seen a lot of lost ££ chasing flushes.
IMO with the A8s hand, no need to be raising to 20p, we are going to be pushing out any weaker spade/spade holdings that we would stack. You can overbet the board on later streets and villians do not notice at 4nl.
I generally find raising to 12p at very most is best with A9s and lower In position. OOP dont feel that you cant limp, this is 4nl remember.
OBV the above is not relevant at 10nl+
-£7.02 -£4 -£4.87 -£2.30 the only winnings were£2.54 and £0.14.
my BR has gone down to just £13.42 although I still have that £25 deposit in as well.
I am still going to play 1 MTT this evening and that is the orford league.
My second and 3rd session might have been bad but one thing for sure they were nowhere near as bad as the first one, session 2 did get a tiny profit of 77p and session 3 was a loss of -£5.25 but that loss was micro compared to session 1.
so my overall loss was -£23.29 mostly from session 1.
well the BR is just £8.94
one positive I will take is I did put much more thought into weather or not to call in my second and 3rd session, not often do i fold QQ pre but the reason for me doing it here was this villain i had already once seen this villain not 3bet with QQ or AK so I'm right away thinking he has got to have KK or AA.

Against TinTin that's an easy fold. Slackalice and Countess its borderline so if it was any of them I think its fine.
Against 99% of the rest on a Friday night, I snap call pre.
