Would it not be at all possible for your Aunt to go on holiday with you?
I hope you get your holiday booked soon and look forward to hearing how you get on.
They are attempting to now get me to go on a holiday with an organisation, they probably don't want to admit it, they truthfully don't want to pay the carer a fortnights wages.
The issues my mam has had in the past is the final push, i'll happily go on holiday with her myself, so if the social worker won't allow a carer then they'll have to accept it.
Today i had been in with a chance of a great time, my evening session itself saw meplaying 9 tables with an overall total winnings of £32.11. During that session i was playing on 9 tables overall and thought of giving 12 tables a go this evening. 12 table i think was a couple too many and sometimes i ended up playing as many as 4 hands at once where as 9 tables i'll usually be playing 1 or 2 possibly 3 hand at once,
having lost £28.24, my day hasn't finished as well as i hoped but when i've had masses of losses during the recent months any win is good really.
total overall is £3.87.
This month is going to be a month than i'll be taking a rest from MTTs, i'll be unlikely to even play DTDs or orford, the thing with MTTs is they've got a far greater amount of luck and my luck at the minute seems to low.
Most of my posts could sound quite basic this month as i'm remaining away from MTTs altogether.
My second session didn't look as though it was going to go well either and saw me lose £8.80 when the runner runner flush came and defeated my two pair and i lost £19.90 from the standard QQ vs KK. That was it, now things were going to change, i was finally getting myself on the good side of coolers. I still had some bad side coolers, they just were pennie when taking into account the good side coolers including one pot of £52.51 with an 88 against 75 and 85 on a board 985 T5 R7 and sets consistantly coming my way. I even did a ross jarvis when the set i flopped happened to get folded due to my internet freezing.
I had 4 sessions overall and finished with prizes of -£29.38, £46.18, £29.44 and £113.41.
total £159
don't worry i've not lost it all, what i've done now is withdrew the last £644 before that too becomes fish food.
that highroller has damaged my game big time, now i can't seem to ever get a good days poker and my £3000 that was left in my account has dropped all the way down to £644, so before i loose any more i've choosen to get that taken out and put into my bank acount.
i will have £25 from points in march and i've also got over 47000 points so basically i'll try and restart from scratch and attempt to get myself cash from the freeroll MTTs.
still i'm not giving up poker altogether, i'll still have myself the 888poker account.
stop thinking just because you ended the session + that you played ok, maybe you played badly
likewise a - session doesn't mean you played bad

Concentrating on results is not going to make you a better poker player, looking at your decisions will make you a better player

I've just done a 9 mile cycle ride, now that i've returned, i shall go onto 888 poker as i'll still be feeling up to it on that one, maybe if i win, i'll pt £100 into here and attempt to build up my bankroll fom cash alone. Whenever i gain money from an MTT, that shall be going straight into my bank account.
Once I got back from the cycle ride, I decided to give 888 poker a go, sure enough that went very well with an overall profit of $57.81 (578.1BB). Using hold’em manager, I can filter my hand histories much better. Once I finished my session, I reviewed pacific hands like KJ KQ and suited connectors, questioning if I could play them any better.
So I decided to deposit £100 into the sky poker account and it has gone great. I had two sessions; my first one had seen me playing the freerolls and 1 nl10p. When I exited the freerolls, I went into 4 nl4p and would put them along the side and have an enlarged view of the nl10. All in all that session I had a total win of £11.34, every single table had a winnings and the nl10p was £1.08.
My second session didn’t get a winning on every table, the nl10p lost £1.54 and I lost 29p on nl4, overall I did get a larger winnings total than that in my first one, overall won £17.79 in this one.
My total winnings for today was
£29.13 sky poker
$57.96888 poker
Yet more evidence is being revealed on the idea that having some time out will do my poker good.
When I returned home from the 18 mile cycle ride, I choose to play 4nl10c on 888poker along with 1 nl10p+ the 2.5K freeroll on sky poke. Both sky and 888 didn’t get off to the best of starts having lost £6.60 when I was jammed by a set on the board 10 8 A (1h) which I happened to hold AKs, sets were one thing but it could have been an AK, AQ or two pair combo he held, my equity was 40% and so I made the call knowing I'm certainly not drawing dead.
On 888 poker my loss was a full chipstack, I might have went a bit too loose when on the turn the villain jammed his other £7 making me call £6.90 for a pot of £20.40 when my odds of winning was most likely 20.76/1 knowing the flush is my only likely win.
Overall I had a great day generally winning an overall total of $27.96 on my 4 nl10c tables with the showdown total coming to $25.74 and non showdown total of $2.22. My sky poker game had gone very well too; it got a total prize of £4.63 and also entry into the 9:30BH. In the bounty hunter itself, one minute I was going great then I called the short stack all in holding KJ and lost out, then with KK I goes all in against 10 10 but lost 2K having seen him hit set, now I had 15BB so decided to just take a gamble with J4s and went out having saw the limper actually hold KK. Overall I wasn’t that bothered really as I had got in for free and won £7.50 from two head prizes.
Having exited the BH I did attempt a final cash session but soon began feeling bored so I’ll call it a day.
Sky £16.88
888poker $25.74
If i see myself lose 2 buy ins, i'll stop right away.
As long as I don’t reload too much, I think I will manage to play on nl10p tables but only when I'm not in an MTT. My first session went very good and I accomplished a great winning total of £27.03, Having a small BR I may have lost myself some value when playing straights or flushes on paired boards, for instance I once held KQ, board was 9s 2h jc 2c 10d I did reraise his first button click back but when he does a second button click, I just called because his hand could be J2o as far as I can tell.
My second session did not go so well and I lost £31.96 (£28.56+£3.40 in sats) a large chuck was because I was getting on the wrong side of what seemed to be a good looking newbie. Also playing freerolls, I might have taken that play into my cash tables that I had up at the time, even micro stakes cash won’t get as many bad calls as a freeroll does.
Well my second session finished, now that i was in a loss and with not as much time left, I only played on 2nl10p tables and moved over onto 2 nl8p tables as well. Like the first one, this too had went very well, maybe I'm wrong and these do get some poor calls, one person holds 78o board was 2c3s5c Qc 7d and when i jam he called the over bet with his Qd 8h on the board 7h 9h 7d Qh 4h and them two callers along with a great £10 won via set over set allowed my final session to finish as the best of them all with a winnings total of £34.10, including one nl8p table winning of £22.32.
i didn't play any 888poker today just sky poker so just £29.17
As Rancid said above, forget about session results, all you should be thinking about is making correct decisions in each hand. It seems like you are SO heavily orientated around your results so a few bad sessions and suddenly you're the worst player in the world, then you win in the next 2 sessions and everything is back on track and you're doing good.
If you play cash, you're gonna have losing sessions probably 40%+ of the time no matter how good you are, sometimes it'l be 10 losing sessions in a row, sometimes it'll be 10 winning sessiosn in a row but you're gonna have to get used to that.
Last thursday i did notice myself have a good day, also my best days in the past were appearing on wednesday, these were he day i had been active throughout the day volenteering, now i'm aiming to do a cycle ride everyday I'm not at college or volenteering, that should allow myself to feel more relaxed and in a happy mood whilst playing.
The other problem i've had is going over the top when a big prize was won in an MTT. i've now restarted my game all over again. Starting from £100, i'm building my BR almost entirely from cash tables as that was my original game and i'll know when i can really move up, I'll still be playing MTTs, i'll just be withdrawing those prizes more frequently.
Also now i'll be playing more 888poker too as a bad session on sky could more than likely turn out to be a good day on the other site.
If time away from poker is helping this then all the better.
results though should not affect your state of mind
you could go and have a great time away from the tables and feel great but still have a masive losing session from the moment you sit down
you not going to win all the time, which is probably the reaons why people get so down cause they expect too much
It was time to give up, the donking was getting very confusing and i was struggling to even play things like AA! So it might have been a loss but it's what i expect giving the table dynamic.
Tonight I attempted to have a game on sky and this one went very good. I had a great bit of fun with another TAG, we both got a number of coolers against one another including one where I held the nut flush and he holds a straight flush, when he said unlucky, i just tells him well you suffered against my set with an AA.
I might have taken my game a step too far at one time when i attempted to bluff his 3betting rnge into folding on a board that was KJ4ddd with my 99d. Had the flop been J high then I might hav been more understandable but being K high, I forgot that even AK with 1 diamond is already ahead of meand those like KK and JJ were never going to fold as even if i did hold the flush they would have outs to make the full house.
All in all i still finished with a decent winnings and having put more damage into the fish who chase the flushes, those two losses were not able to stop me getting an overall winnings today of £28.52.
I was expecting myself to be far too tired to bother playing today but having saw how rubbish england started, i just give up and went to bed. So i decided to skip the rest of the cricket match had a decent sleep and am quite glad really as i'd have missed out on so great cash from not 1 but 2 extreme calling stations. The tables tonight must have been far looser than they normally are, usually when i've left a table i'd have likely exited with twice my entry fee at max. What i'm not going to win often is cash prizes of £37.65, £40.05 and £31.66 all in the same session.
overall my best move of the night came when i managed to fold a fullhouse!
Having folded the full house, i thought to myself afterwards, should i have actually raised this in the first place?
player X is someone i'm sure would be able to read my hand very well, if he had trips i'm thinking a raise on the river is most likely to see him fold, being the sort of board it is and considering how many are in the pot a straight is probably not in his range when a bet is made on the turn, so i probably was only getting called by better.
The other side to the coin however is weather it's fine to do considering i'll still be likely to see the rest of the field call trips and straights if they have them so just do the raise and if he does reraise i fold.
Well played sir.
My first entry onto a nl20 was done when i go my chip stack to £46.81 on nl10, i left that table and decided to use the cash on a nl20 knowing that table would achieve more points and whilst playing that table i won £4.36 and soon left as my other nl0s were starting to turn against me.
later on i saw myself in profit of £40 and decided to put that towards two nl20p, this time my nl10ps continued to go well allowing me to put more time on nl20p and i managed to make myself a cash prize of £16.47 on one but did loose a cash prize of £11.20 on a second.
My final session of the night I managed to see myself gain a chip stack of £53.80 on a nl10p and again used that on nl20p, now i might have went a step too far on this occassion having restacked on both the tables. luckily enough i did make up the restack on one of them but the other one i wasn't sdo unfortunate and lost £29.92.
Overall my night still turned out well and i made a total winnings of £32.53
if i do happen to suffer a bad loss what i might do is transfer some of that 888poker money over.
3,000pts in 5 days? That is going to be some grind, very good luck!!
