Been too busy being outside and catching up with an old friend on skype today to focus on playing lol, did manage to fit in 2 half hour sessions earlier though, they both went rather well, can't remember exactly how much i won but i think it was about £4ish.
I have a freeroll tournament tonight at 10, i cashed in it last week so hopefully i can do it again lol.
Done another session, was going OK, up a couple of quid until the last few hands i got dealt AA, someone raises, i 3bet it and he calls with 10,4o, flop comes 10 4 2 haha. First time in ages i've lost a big pot to some shocking play like that lol. Ended up the session -$2 which is like £1.50 or something?
Oh i forgot to mention i played a little PLO as well, lost a quid on that but i'm not going to bother putting that on the session tracker thing, i just play PLO for fun only at the moment lol.
Done brilliantly in the freeroll tournament, just got knocked out in 38th place out of 984 runners for $3.40 lol. Was as high as 4th at one point, but i didn't get the luck i needed at the end.
My head is absolutely banging now, 4 hours hard work and focus for just £2 or so!! hahaha.
My exit hand was with A10s, shoving over the top of a couple limpers, i get called by K9o (lol) and they hit.
Thats me done for today, told you i can't sit and stare at the laptop screen for hours on end like that hahaha.
Feeling a bit better now after getting some fresh air haha, just finished a couple of sessions before my dinner (2x30 min ones)
Been my worst day so far (since i started using that website i mean), made a total loss of £4 in the first session and about £2 in the 2nd. Nothing was going my way at all, donks are getting the better of me at the minute haha!
But to be perfectly honest, i'm glad this has happened, i know £6 isn't a lot of money or anything but normally if i lost that much i would let blackjack/higher stakes poker take over and try and win it back as quickly as possible, but i never even thought of doing that at all, i just recorded my sessions on that website, and closed the poker software down straight away so i'm a bit proud of myself for that lol.
You know you're having a bad day when your J2 gets beat by another J2! hahaha.
Might have another few sessions tonight, don't know yet lol.
Done a few sessions today, can't remember exactly how many since my internet connection ****** up after i did my first few lol.
Been stuck in a rut for the past few days haha, haven't lost any money but haven't won any either, just keeps on going down then up again, or up then back down. Perfect way to evaluate my last session, went up 1BI then lost 1BI with the very next hand with QQvAQ aip, flop is Ahigh, sigh haha.
I am up a few quid for today though overall, since my first couple sessions around teatime got me a profit of about £4. Best hand was this:
Seat 1: Hero ($5.05 in chips) Seat 3: snookerever ($8.12 in chips) Seat 5: bait12 ($13.35 in chips) Seat 6: SWAAAAAAAAAAAAA ($2.09 in chips) Seat 8: TTR821621 ($1.15 in chips) Seat 10: Bupmyo3 ($5.11 in chips)
Bupmyo3: Bet $0.31 Hero: Raise To $0.80 Bupmyo3: Call $0.49
*** TURN *** [3d]
Bupmyo3: Check Hero: Bet $1.25 Bupmyo3: Call $1.25
*** RIVER *** [As] Bupmyo3: Check Hero: Bet $2.80 (all-in) Bupmyo3: Call $2.80
*** SHOW DOWN *** Hero: shows [6h 7h] (Straight) Bupmyo3: shows (mucked) [Qh Ad] (Two pair)
*** SUMMARY *** Total pot $9.65 Rake $0.50 Hero: wins $9.65
Completely forgot to post my session statistics etc after it reached 40 sessions last night.. so i will just do it for every 25 sessions done, will make it easier lol. (So 50 is the next one)
Got a little £2 bonus as well today, cash for points thing.
Bankroll is now at £138.06 (can't seem to get it over £140, been trying since Friday!! haha)
Didn't play at all today (apart from at the pub lol), **** internet wasn't working this afternoon, just got it working again the now haha.
I'm too tired to do any sessions tonight and i have got so much to watch on TV haha, so hopefully i can fit some in sessions tomorrow before going out at night, and same for when i get in
Managed to fit in a few sessions this afternoon, i woke up early for once lol.
Finally managed to get my bankroll over £140 at last, i mean it must have been about 5 times i had £139.90+, and just couldn't get that extra 10p to get it to £140, quite funny really lol.
My total profit for the entire session was about £4ish, could have been more if i wasn't coolered a few times haha. (Worst one was AA v AKo, always terrible when AK cracks your aces haha )
Thats 50 sessions now recorded on that website (47 cash and 3 freeroll tournaments) so i'll post my new statistics:
Seriously, stop withdrawing and try to build your BR a bit. Some say what I do (by not withdrawing) isn't a good idea, but I think you should at least have a bit of both if you wanna withdraw. Give yourself a chance to grow it a bit so you can play $10NL and ideally be winning twice as much.
Yeah, i'm planning on not withdrawing any more the now, unless i really need to.
Just did another 2 half hour sessions, first one was so horrible, never ran so bad in my life haha. Lost countless 70-30s and 80-20s, ended up -£8 or so.
Second session was completely different, first hand on both tables i get dealt AA and JQ, flop a set and the nut straight and got paid lol, after that i was a bit card dead but won a nice pot near the end with KK v AK aip, i wish people would buy in for the full amount though, there are so many people sitting down with just $1-$1 or so haha. Won a fiver in total.
Finished another couple of sessions, i would have done just one hour session but i like to have a 5-10 minute break between sessions to have a cup of tea or something to eat etc lol, and it shuts the table down if i sit out for more than a minute. So just sticking to half hour sessions of 100 hands on each table.
Both went rather well, first one was pretty boring tbh, won a decent pot with AK and KQ and that was that. Profit of about £1 or so. Second session was much better, running good, flopping sets/straights and flushes and getting paid lol, ended up about £5ish in profit.
Thats me done for today, got a lot of tv to watch (dynamo from thursday, still not watched it yet!! And my wife and kids, brilliant that programme is back on TV here, **** love it haha)
I am far too roasting to be bothered to type everything that happened in my last few sessions, none of them went rather well to be perfect honest, was running badly and playing badly as well lol. Ended up losing about £5 in total.
Thinking of depositing more money and moving up to 10nl, i mean i have been playing just 5nl since i started, main reason i haven't moved up is because its more money involved and i know what was likely to happen if i lost a lot lol. But i feel as if i have it under control now, won't be chasing any losses anymore as i have nothing to lose anyway, i should be skint haha.
Think i should? Or should I just wait until i actually build my bankroll playing 5nl up to the amount required to play 10nl?
I should mention that 10nl is actually 0.05/0.10c, not pence, so 1BI is £6.50, not £10 haha. 30BIs for 10nl would be about £200, just £60 less than whats in my bankroll now. (Well to be honest, if i didn't keep withdrawing, i would have over £200)
Just a quick update on how i'm doing before i head out: Had some internet problems last night, couldn't post on the forum or anything since it was going so slow lol, but for some reason the poker software was working alright.
Bankroll is now at £152.01 after a few good sessions, best one was my latest session where i won about a tenner after losing a few quid last night.
**** ****, just stickk to talking in 1 currency lol!
Does the site not tell you what your balanceis in $$$ ?
Assuming you've got like £140 which is about $210 then you could start playing a bit of 10NL now if you're confident, if you wanna be a bit more cautious wait til you have $300 which shouldn't take long if you stop withdrawing.
Went back to my old ways again tonight, aaaaah **** me.
Had a shocking session playing online, lost about 5BIs in the space of 5 minutes, one of them was terrible play from me but the other 4 were just cooler after cooler after cooler lol. I tried my best to just shake it off, turn the poker software off and just not play for the rest of the night and come back tomorrow. But i couldn't help myself, i had lost about £20 and i was desperate to get it back, so yet again i find myself on the 0.50/1 tables, look certain to win £65 (1BI) with a turned flush with 64s, get it all in on the flop against TPTK, and they river the better flush lol. So overall i was down £85 at that point.
I should have known i wouldn't be able to take a big loss like that, was in denial thinking i was getting it under control lol. So i turned to blackjack again to try and get it back (on william hill since i cant play casino games on titan, took me ages to set up an account and everything on there, i was that desperate)
Deposited £200 on there, lost about £150 in 5 minutes, then somehow (i have no idea how, because the max bet you can put was £30) i managed to win 5 in a row to get it back to £200, then i just kept on getting so lucky, winning another few times to get it to £300+, then i finally stopped and withdrew it all.
My god, this has happened way too many times, its unreal. I have around £1900 in my bank account at the minute, when it should read 0. So i am a very very very very lucky person indeed lol.
But i think thats it for me, i can't continue playing online poker if i'm addicted to money and can't stop chasing losses. Think i will just have to withdraw everything and self exclude myself for a period of time that i feel suits me. (Maybe until i'm 21?)
**** frustrating this lol, what else can i do? If there was a way to block me from playing any stakes higher than 10nl then that would be perfect haha.
I'm not excluding myself right now however, i get a £25 bonus or so at the start of the month, and i won't get it if i'm excluded so i shall wait.
Not leaving the forum or anything, i'll still be playing live almost every day so i'll still be here looking for advice etc.
