Main i was doing well, managed to pick up a £16 bounty and was sitting with an ok stack not great but not desperate approaching the bubble, active player raises in the c/o, i 3bet the button with Js he tank shoves, i tank call and of course run into the top of his range AA, gg.
Mini wasn't getting anywhere fast had a smallish stack was looking to gamble as soon as possible, blind on blind with greghogg minraise 6s, he instashoves decided to take the gamble then and there hoping to see a smaller pair or two overs, standard flip against AQ so nothing exciting to talk about in that.
Played some hypers and turbos to end the evening, was pretty standard maybe losing a few more 60/40s than i would expect on average but nothing brutal. Saw a reg playing 21s who i felt like i had a good chance against, managed to win 3 out of 5, withdrew another £30 tonight and have now withdrawn £165 this week whilst still maintaining a 1k roll so happy with that and hopefully i will catch a break when i take a shot at one of the mains soon and pick up a decent cash, feel like i have run into two cooler situations both times i have bought it so not going to lose faith or use it as an excuse to not have a go when i have a good days profit behind me.
I've been playing poker for a long time now but never really played much heads-up.
Your results are tremendous.
If i do have a dabble, i will be avoiding you.
In the middle of doing some coursework, signed in quickly to go on the forum signed up to an all in sat for the roller with seconds to spare and won the ticket!!
I did have another decent session on the hypers mainly 5,25 level today two tabling for an hour and a half. I think i was plus +£40 ishby the end of the session maybe a little more always nice to be winning when i got it in good and bad, gotta enjoy it when the cards fall your way in hypers as it's always a matter of time before that sick run of games where you can't win a game whatever you do.
I want to get back properly on the heads up grind and really put some decent sessions in rather than playing here and there, so i'm going to try and get in an hour or two each day or most days when i'm not too busy to just sit down with no distractions and play aload of games, i have been playing alot of mtts lately which doesn't allow for the same flexibility as HU in terms being able to stop and do other things, so will be focusing on just HU for the coming week. From today i will start posting a profit/loss again as i think it's good for the diary to include some figures in regards to how i'm getting on.

On a bit of a heater in the 5.25 hypers at the moment, playing well, running well. Obviously them kind of results are unattainable on a regular basis but i'm enjoying it whilst it lasts.

Pleased this turned into a profitable hour and at the amount of volume i can get in when i concentrate soley on playing and not doing other things. Looks like 15-20 games is the average i can get through in an hour playing hypers which is good.

West ham was a great game to watch, never nice to lose to tottenham but what a goal by bale throughougly deserved victory.
Played between half 10-11, very pleased to get 3 winning sessions in, i didn't start well again and then steamed in a couple of games due to a disconnection blinding me down and effectively costing me a game. I'm also pleased i managed to stick to the 5,25s in each session and got a very decent amount of volume in, i also managed to surpass the 4500c4p so am into the £70 figures now which is good.
I realise it is an overload of posts if i carry on this in this manner, so i wont carry on posting each hour i put in, instead i will continue to note down each hourly session as above with a total profit/loss games played in a word document and then post one complete day summary which summarizes each hour in the diary. The aim is to try put in between 12-15 hours a week as if it was a part time job and hopefully if i turn a profit withdraw a percentage of the profit every couple of weeks or so.

First session went very well with another healthy profit, stuck to two tables most of the hour, was chatting to quickfeet as well during this hour so only had one table running at one point, so added an extra 10 mins to session to get to my target of 18 per hour.

This session had the potential to be brutal, was 3 tabling to try and hit the 100 game mark for the two days and hit 3 coolers in a row, obviously they were all calls that i wanted but i started button bashing for a a couple of mins lol i managed to regained composure and take down a small profit, running good against one particular reg who i bump into alot which helps but in general session wasn't great and i'm very happy to have come out of it with a profit. I will probably not 3 table hypers to often, a lot of fun but probably losing a fair bit of edge against the competent guys who occasionally appear.
Some of my figures may be off by a few pence as i'm doing it on notepad during sessions where i write my roll at the beggining and end of each hour and then add up, but i'm veryfying using scope since yesterday so the week total and day total should always be accurate.

Another very good session to start the day,having no problem playing 3 tables when i'm refreshed as well which explains the high volume in this hour. I'm finding this new way of playing in a set time and concentrating fully on poker is helping me stay focused and its also beneficial to not be playing when i have umpteen other things going on.
Session 2:
Time: 1 hour

Started off with 3 tables but cut down to 2 and then 1 by the end of the session as felt a bit tired and didn't want to start doing anything stupid, another good profitable session.
Total games for the day: 44
Must be running very well at the moment to not yet have a losing hour, very pleased with how it is going at the moment but i'm already mentally prepared for the tough times ahead that will turn my roi into a more realistic figure but enjoying the heater whilst it lasts lol

Also forgot to add i won £5 in the golden ticket draw, must be running good at the moment! lol I ahve no added that to the week figures though, i have so far only played £5.25 hypers this week.
I just finished a quick session, ended it after 50 minutes as i'm feeling tired and a bit mentally burned out, also felt like i was getting increasingly annoyed at losing some very standard preflop all ins and didn't want to tilt or play higher.
Still despite thinking the session was going pretty awfully and that i was down a couple of buy ins at least, i was pleasently suprised to work out afterwards that it wasn't a losing session, maybe due to a mixture of tiredness and burn out i was overeacting to anything slightly negative in the session and ignoring the hands that fell in my favour.
I won't be playing tomorrow as im in norwich, maybe will get an hour or two in sunday night, would be nice to finish the week by completing 10 hours and not digging into the profit i have earned so far. I just need to ensure i pick the right times to play when i'm feeling refreshed and capable of playing to the best of my ability.

not posted here b4 as i've no idea about this game u play.
great results from what i've read though,so well played buddy,you obviously i'm guessing anyway must enjoy playing them, and certainly your roi is very good.
just a question,i noticed you seem to play relatively short sessions,about an hour or so typically.
have you found this to be your optimal strategy or is it something you have always done,maybe because it is all the time you can spare for playing?
the reason i'm asking is because although this is an area i've never really looked into,as yet anyway,it is a fact that as i am getting on a bit now (54 this year...aaagh),and like it or not,it's not getting any easier playing 4/6/8 hour sessions,well optimally anyway,so the possibility of playing 'timed sessions' could be something for me to think about,i feel.
thanks in advance.
'be lucky'
