dev
won £3.72
4 tables nl4
b/roll £335.56 (up £3.74 this year...hoooray) lol
just checked and i'm about £40 up so far this month,which is nice,and i'm now also showing a small profit,since
starting this cash adventure,way back on jan 1st
again,i'd like to thank everyone for all the help & support you have all given to me,as i know without it
i would have given up playing cash and gone back to dym's a long time ago.
happy with 2 winning sessions today,even though only small.
playing well within my b/roll at nl4 for the moment,as i am under no pressure what so ever,
which is nice,and i'm guessing exactly how one's poker should be.
also taking part in LARSONS nl4 challenge this week,which should keep me focused,and stop me from even thinking about playing nl10...again. lol
night all
run good

-£1.10 deepstack 25th
won £3.70 nl4 1 table
b/roll £338.14 (up £6.32 this year)
1st session played since saturday...
looks like my get up an go has got up and gone for the moment. lol
still,i'm in no hurry building my b/roll this year...just as well lol
happy playing just the 1 table tonight and giving every hand my full attention.
anyway...time for bed.
night all..or maybe good morning.
dev
yeah i'm good mate,just can't seem to get myself motivated atm,probably because i'm not making any money,which is ok as it's now all about the long term,ie;next year and beyond.
yeah,i got on a ramble there,sure you can understand where i'm coming from...lol
and it seemed to make sense in my head,but probably didn't come out to well,so i've deleted it now. lols
basically though...
i feel i have more chances of winning playing just the 1 table atm.
think that was what i was getting at.
best wishes mate,
you'll have to make allowances as i'm an old man and i really should be tucked up in bed.. lol
dev
Your BR has nothing to do with the level you should play, it's how you feel that matters.
If you had £2000 - you should still play nl4
good luck
yeah,u r right it is all to do with how u feel that matters
i'm sure i could play nl10 with a £330 b/roll but i'm not happy if i was to lose say 3 or 4 buy-ins,so happy plodding along making a few quid,at nl4 for the time being.won the last few sessions,only small but winning anyway,which feels good,after struggling for so long.
see you were playing some nl20 last night,along with evilpingu,imagine that was fun.
best wishes
dev

tue 9/4/13
won £7.28 nl4 9 tables
b/roll £345.46 (up £13.64 this year)...(up £7.26 this month)
c4p 385
small steps but at least now going forwards. lol
played 9 tables last 2 sessions.felt comfortable,don't think i'll be playing any more than that.
all good atm.my mind is in a good place and now that i'm getting a few small wins,and seeing b/roll increase for the second month running this year,am actually wanting to play,rather than forcing myself to play,as has been the case for much of this year so far.

reading through the post and had to comment on this hand,
i play 2/4 cash more or less everyday and presumed loose calls & awful play was less regular higher up the food chain,,, obviously not!!
i'm sure with your play, espically like you played this hand you'll have no problems turning £300 into, well whatever you want,,,
and if it doesn't work out come round and seek me out on the donk tables
karim / 1281
yes i've cut right down playing wise atm,and touch wood,so far so good.
glad it is working out well for you too.
best wishes
dev.
ps;haven't felt like coming here for almost a week,so sorry for not repling sooner.
only just getting over this one. lol thanks lol
i was a little upset at the time i remember,but no worries..it happens.
best wishes buddy

won £7.45
9 tables nl4
*************
tuesday 16/4/13
won £9.69
9 tables nl4
b/roll £350.48 (up £12.28 this month) & (up £18.66 this year)
c4p 653 = £5.22 to come.
not been playing much,hence not posting either.
still very happy with how i'm playing,much more aggressive (most of the time lol),
been playing less as motivation isn't as good as it should be,probably due to not winning much,but making a small profit feels good.hope to continue playing nl4.
nl10 is not even in my thoughts atm,which i'm happy about.
hoping to get b/roll up to £500 then i might just start thinking about it again.
still a long way to go.

I think you would do really well at higher limits, there's a lot more poker going on at slightly higher levels.
You are a solid, good player, I would say hands down you would be far superior to a lot of players at NL10.
But good luck getting up to £500, look forward to hearing you do it.
I have no idea why this misconception is so common.
If somebody cannot beat the bad players on a consistent basis, you will not beat the fairly bad players at 10nl and will quite frankly get owned at 20nl and up.
This is definitely right. You may find in some spots some things work better like c-betting gets more folds because people won't just constantly station off with bottom pair, but overall, if someone can't beat 4NL, then they're unlikely to beat 10NL+ imo.
FWIW, Dev, I still think you should go back to less tables. If you put in a few hours 4 tabling say at 4NL, then you can still make decent regular profits and you'll have a much better idea of how you're getting on as a player. It'll give you SO much more time to check the HH when you beat someone and they muck (because you should ALWAYS look what they had), writing notes on people, making more player dependent decisions etc.
With the determination you have Dev and the amount of hard work you put in to beat DYMs, I'm sure you'll get there.
Because 2p/4p has more newbies playing on it i would expect the outdraws to be happening more often but if you adjust your game for this it should still be no problem as TINTIN proves every month.
Good Luck.
Daz.
Much more productive to play 4 tables well, than 9 tables badly.
My absolute limit is 7 tables. Anymore than that and my brain just cant process the information quick enough. My comfort range is six tables. But even thats not a given, if I am slightly tired I might run with 4.
I agree you should be playing less.
Perhaps drop to 3 or 4. If you turn a good profit in a fortnight, then add one. If that doesnt seem as profitable, move back down.
Trial and error to some extent, but better to start less
