I took a break away from the tables for an hour or so until the freerolls would start and was beginning to feel relaxed but it wasn't long before the shocks came again and it appeared as if premium pairs would never see victory, AA itself was twice defeated by JJ.
Once my final game was over I began taking a look into how frequent I was getting these losses and could see from th that they weren't as rare as first thought and found out my mistake was I hadn't put an notice down of all those winning premium pairs or those all in spots I had previous to that A5 making all those maniacs and that A5o get the better of me.

Whilst playing my games iwas write down the all in situation and if it won or lossed, I don't put down the board at all just the two hands done most times this won't affect me in a negative way because once I've review my day those results will be getting deleted and i'll just describe myself as either bad luck or good luck and even without results too much bad consistant bad running is something which could see tilt and thereby i'll take a break.

MTT games may have went a bit too far, my intention was to just play the semis in an attempt to get into mainevent but when they both were failures I too it a step further by making entry into another 4 AI sats. The price of doing this wasn't too costly in self because had the LR semi got me into the main event I would have been in mini and to make up that little price extra I did get £2 in a freeroll.
Al in all it was still a great and relaxing day of poker.

DYMs went for another loss having made a total loss of £21.10 I did act more away of my table exiting today ensuring I didn't see too big a loss.
a 1st place finish in a £3.30 6 max did give me a bit of belief but then an came my worst luck of the night when I hit a set on the flop only to see the turn give the opponent his set and my feeling at the time of his action on the turn told me right away that I now fealt as though things weren't going my way, I was thinking to myself at the time of this all that I should fold the set as it will be a set he's now got.

This weekend was a weekend of nl4 and I could not have seen a selection of sessions played in such a different manner. My first session was on Saturday afternoon and this session was a session which turned ugly and got me in a tilt, the hand which caused this tile has been posted in BBV and what really put me in such a tilt was this person was already starting to show the signs of a limper so to suddenly change into a maniac is lie a shock out of no where and to be holding KK at the time what worse can go wrong?
The break I'd taken to have my tea proved to gig me enough time to get over that upset and through a little talk with myself I was able to return and play 8 tables and it didn't take long fora maniac to get unfortunate making it all the more easier to put that sickener to one side, my best part of that session lied on the river betting, being in a more aggressive mood I had began being much more aggressive with the river bets making the occasional overbet all as a way to ensure I got maximum value from other monster on a board that will have a very low calling range to value bets ie 1010 on a board AJA 1010.
Today's noon session was a losing session that came in a very unexpected manner, rather than suffering from coolers, sickener and river cards it was SB and BB drainage that created the loss. When I first notced the loss I got very puzzled and did a bit of deep loss analyzing and it was from doing this that I realized just how much loss came from SB and BB drainage.
Paul Lambert provided a tip about hand the selection and 3betting range on nl4 on skype. I decided to give this selection a go for myself and it might be proving to be the missing link as this session went on to be the best session of them all. The aggression I did in last nights session will itself play a part because my aggression last night was much greater than some of my previous sessions enabling me to get the greatest of value from weaker hands and those close to the nuts.
The sunday evening session did itself see a large numbe of BBs lost but it wasn't as bg as that noon session and tomorrow i'll make a good comparison of them both to see where else the mistakes might be.
overall: £6.14
saturday: -£20.61 and £10.84
sunday:-£8.37 and £24.33
My evening seesion was the easier of the two people were very passive all down the streets allowin me to still take down a pot even when turn river were checked, the noon session had a the occassional player you'd say dominates these tables and the loose players themselves were a more aggressive sort.
I did an attempt to enter the main event via a semi but hands weren't arriving for ages and saw me exit early.
Doing a good analsis of my game has given me a good idea on th best hand selection in these games and from keeping to that hand selection i'm finding it an easy time representing a decent hand and knowing when is best.

Tonight i've had one early evening session and that itself wasn't able to last too long because of the darts and this was certain to be watched through out. Being a shorter one than normal, I put more time into table selecton and getting myself sitting in the right position at the tables.
In total I made £6.73 during the 1.5 hours i spent playing today and is enough to leave me in a winning on the two days overall.
Wednesday -£3.02
Thursday £6.73
overall£3.71
I had a max of 6 tables running at once but table selection and switching meant 14 tables were played overal, 5 of them resulted in loss but only 1 had a loss anywhere near the 100BB mark one table did require rebuys totally 300BB overall but it didn't come as too much a poblem for my overall tally because I was able to exit the table as a stack 300BB deep therefore I had almost 800BB worth of cash from 3 other cash tables alone as for the others they were like an everyday nl4 finish.
Overall:£21.86
nl4£36.26
MTT:-£14.40
I've managed to make £25.44 cash today. 2 tables made over 250BB and a 3rd was 9BB short of making 200BB, a forth table was able to return 17.5BB better off after starting off with a cost nearly 250BB. My biggest table loss was 91BB but as a whole 3/7 table losses were less than 40BB deep and was sure to been returned by 1/9 winning cash tables.
Overall £25.44 all nl4 tabling
THe table dynamics were alot more passive that they were in recent day, getting 100BB on a table could be a decent thing i never saw a stack go above £9 throughtout the evening. My best win saw me finish 91BB greter and the average for all the winning tables was 207BB.
I did run into one interesting spot today involving a decision as to weather or not I call his jam and split the pot or just allow him 12p preserving me from losing another 16p in rake, I tried to ask him why he did such a pointless jam in the first place but couldn't get an answer so was left with the uzzler why he did it in the first place?
Overll:-£11.06
cash £3.34
semi+LR:-£14.40
I managed to make £13.34 cduring that cash session which was enough to allow entry into semi and DTD1/2/3 without a drop in BR, I was able to get entry into the main event via the semi so I did spend another £5.50 on the mini as well meaning I will end as a loss having not cashed out in any.
As part of the 5 a day I also palyed 5 30pturbo DYM and cashed out in 2 leaving me 20p down in DYM
Overall:-£4.56
cash::13.34
MTT:-17.70
DYM:-20p
I finished my nl4 at 9:30 and was hoping to give master cash a go as I had a cold so wouldn't be going out volenteering tomorrow but even with all 4 up I still missed out so I just called it a day knowing I've don't have much time and might risk chasing if a bad beat were to happen.
again i had 5 turbo tables for 5 points and those finished break even (3/5wins)
Overall:£19.03
My first session was in the afternoon and got going much quicker I only changed table once and that came when it got heads up between myself and another good nl4 player, I had a disruption mid way caused by internet disconnection but it was back on in minutes and the 6 tables still had me seated. This session’s outcome was £6.57 having profited in 6 of the 7 tables, it was looking to finish in a gloomy way when an AA is beaten by 1010 in a 3way all in spot and making my one table loss get deeper than any of my table wins but thanks to a limp and pure luck I was able to see a flop in BB with 92o and see myself going all in against Q9o on a board 952 Jhhh 9.
Starting off with a number of losses over £1, taking a bit more time to get myself fully relaxed and finishing the session with a loss of 35 and a second one close to being -£2.66, I would still have made twice the profit as I achieve in the earlier session and by making a risky hero call with 99 I won £2.33 (£1.38 was already committed and he had signs of a loose aggressive player) rather than lose £2.66 and have made £17.89.
I remembered the 5 a day promo last minute and have did 5 30p turbo cashing out it 4 of the 5 giving me 50p profit making the evening session finish over £18 and £24.46 over the whole day.
Overall: £24.46
Nl4: £6.57+£17.89

I did fit some poker time in during friday evening and this evening was a long one and finished late so I didn't do the update. The evening kicked off with an attempt to gain entry into the main even via a semi but it wasn't a success. I did toss £3.30 on an orford league which didn't get any attention at all. At the time I played another 5 nl4 tables and my current run in these meant I ignored the orford league. The lobby itself showed most prizes are an equivant to my average win in nl4 and of the two i'v much more confidence in gaining the cash on cash tables.
My cash tables during that period didn't prove a success. I was sitting at a loss of £2.72 and it was clear to see when conbined with the MTT costs. I took a break away from the cash put that period to one side and was able to return in a total cash mode allowing me to win £23.50 meaning I still finished in a profit.
Today I've already taken one cash and made £13.59 and this should be my only cash session because tonight will be an MTT evening. I'll start with the main event semi and even if I don't get into the main event I'll still have the DTD 1,2,3 and might try the mini.
With time available and my confidence high I had one final piece of poker time on some nl4 but that cash session has left me with a nasty hit on a day when I thought he early cash session would ensure no loss. being a totally different dynamic a quick break might have helped out because I had jumped in fairly quickly rather than ajust to the dynamic and get an idea of the table dynamic. As time went on the tables were proving to be a different dynamic to the ones I had during the afternoon and cbetting was a greater risk.
The two sessions combined has lef me -£20.18 but the majority of the loss will come from MTT failure
cash: -£5.78 (£13.59- £19.37)
MTT:-£14.40
During sky poker TV I decided to play for some fun on MS table against the sky guests The pro was able to get the better of me taking a large chunk with a set. The rec was not so lucky I was lucky to be in position to him most hands and took a few pots away from him including a great pot by semi bluffing a straight draw which I cbet on the turn as an improved pair I make a river all in jam as an attempt to bluff over pairs but it wouldn't have been need in the first place as he held bottom pair+ flush draw.
Overall: £15.71
nl4: £19.60
nl20 mastercash:-£3.89 ( would have ended -68p but I decide to play KQs at the end and get a flush draw which didn't come round)
During sessions between 6pm and 9pm the tables have been a simple passive one. When I take look back at my overall games I seriously question if these sessions need to be avoided altogether. If i'm have a good run during the early evening I might not have much problem but starting at 9pm can have too big a risk of chasing as I believe it was tonight. The tables do look more aggressive during the evening and if that wasn't enough I myself wan't making i too hard and might have been giving the players chance to call correct pot odds from sheer desperation to get as many calls as a could.
I took a shower before making a final return and being 10:00 I planned to take care with intent of leave right away if things didn't turn round. The return certainly proved to be a good one and throught out this session only once did i lose over £1 and that came when QQ gets his set putting to go ahead of my KK.
No matter how much bad luck I had during that hour of play today has got to go down as an extremely lucky day because during that final session I'd be expecting premium pairs non stop. Maybe it was due to how much bad luck in that hour I don't know. The biggest story of all came when I'd got dealt QQ in consecutive hands and was able to hit set on both occassions what's better I was able to get 3rd one on the same table just moment later. I even decided to show that one off to the rest!

My period on this table was looking to be in for a high loss and provide the rec guest a win having made top pair and not fall for a river A bluff. Thankfully for myself this wasn't going to end bad when I went up against the rec again and got back what I lost in the last hand as well as the shorter amounts lost earlier.

Yesterday Itsef begun in a bad way. luck wasn't on my side and I started to get into chase. I did pull myself away from the tables before the chasing would start. i made a return after calming down and started in a good way. I should have walked away from the tables making my day finish break even. I decided to remain feeling confident I could build on that cash but it was getting late and some bad luck turned the corner totally making that one finish as a small loss and finish the day £11.17 down
I've had a session tonight and didn't seem to be getting much value from them. The tables had it's limpers but most times it was just a HU or 3 way pot and I wasn't getting the greatest of value from lots of limp callers and large stack losses could be more damaging.
Rather than risk getting into another chase I'm calling an early finish tonight and finish at £1.30 profit
Friday NL4 -£11.17
Tonight NL4 £1.30
I made 12.22 cash making MTT fees already doe but these fees did feel like wasted cash. The hand which got me down just 42 chips was probably down to my own mistake making 3bet AI on turn. A selection of consistant double ups did allow this stack to recharge into 4K but this chipstack wasn't going to last too long when lose play made it drop down again. DTD 1 wasn't a very good MTT itself, a few mistakes caused my stack to drain down and just as DTD2 began I was out DTD 1. Rather than continue DTD 3 I choose to call it an end at the exit of DTD 1 and gave up on DTD2 right away.
whilst I do enjoy the DTDs from next week onwards I'll keep out DTD 2 until last minute registration meaning I can keep out if DTD 1 goes on like it did tonight because mr BR is still low in terms of MTT fees and 3-6 mondays worth of nl4 cash will get what i'd get for 1st place in DTD 2 or 3.
SKY are supporting the Monday DTD and if everybody thought like you then most would not complete all 3 therefore the league would be miniscule and SKY would think, why do we support this.
An MTT gets me starting off with equal stacks will see me in lots more spots against larger stacks, my mind is just not up for it, I start questioning my chipstack and chase for chips
I do register onto lots of master cash at 10pm but I only actually play the one containing the sky TV guests. The reason for that is because it's got 2 players who will make leaks and lose chips because of the determination to be ahead. Even the pro frequently says he'd not normally call the hands he has done in that 45 minute session and you can see from those calls by paul nixon just how much value you can make.
