Hi Skeg good luck with the diary and increasing your bankroll. Thought i'd ask few questions get a bit of background as i always find that stuff quite interesting as it gives a bit of context to all the poker talk..
I read on your profile you havn't played poker for that long, how did you get into the game? How old are you? do you work etc? find much time to play? Do you play alot live? play any other format or just cash? Whats the standard like on the site you play? many regs?
In Response to Re: My Diary : Hahaha, i have nothing against sky poker it's only because my laptop keeps crashing and disconnecting every time i use it lol. This forum is great though, some good players etc that give good feedback and advice, thats why i decided to stay here while im playing elsewhere and hope to become a better player lol. Just finished another small session before my tea, 40 minutes, 6 tables. Profits of £1.11, £3.57 and 46p. Losses of £1.39, £1.11 and 52p. Total profit for the session = £2.12. Haven't got any interesting hands to post this time, overall a good day so far though. That's me done until tonight, i might have another small session after i'm home from poker and i've watched it on tv :P Posted by skeg_poker
Hi skeg--- I was having a lot of trouble with my laptop too--- I solved it by disabling norton security--- now it seems fine again-- hope this helps because sky is floppin marvellous innit!
I imagine the 4nl standard is pretty much the same on titan as it is on here then?? I agree with what you say though, My laptop can handle more tables on other sites than it can on here......dunno whether that is because my laptop is cheap, the software isn't the greatest or a mixture of both. Still love sky though (most of the time) Posted by waller02
Yeah it's pretty much the same, and yeah my laptop is old and a peice of **** so i'm surprised it can even handle 1 table never mind 4-6 haha.
I like sky as well, especially the fact it has a TV channel, that's good to watch most of the time haha. Maybe if i win enough money i can buy a new laptop and start playing on here again lol :P

Thanks benc, i started playing poker in about July/August when i watched it on channel 4 one day and thought it looked interesting, so I decided to start playing on that zynga poker site just to learn the basics etc and I went onto the partpoker.com website which gives you a lot of good tips and advice for beginners. I turned 19 last month lol. I don't work atm, don't really need a job right now if i'm honest so i plenty of spare time on my hands right now to play. I play live 4 nights a week (monday, tuesday, wednesday and friday) in the Nuts Poker League at local pubs round my area, i started going there in October, after i had learned the basics etc. I just play cash tbh, maybe a mtt or a freeroll event every now and again if i fancy it. The standard at titan is just like here really, a few good regs and a lot of beginners/poor players on the lower limits haha.

I don't use norton security, I have AVG i think it's called? :P
Think we found the guy who did the annoying clown laugh for the scary clown in blackpool haha. Good diary tho haha Posted by seppe
What do you mean haha? and cheers
Only had a 20 minute session tonight before i remembered the poker was on TV so i went off to watch it, didn't get off to a very good start, had ace,king suited and lost one buy in of £4 with it (oppo flopped two pair with ace 9), but i got £2.50 back with my pocket jacks against pocket 10s. So an overall loss of £1.50 for this session, my bankroll is currently at: £139.76. Profit since i started is: £19.76.
Not playing anymore tonight, i've had a few drinks don't want it affecting my concentration haha. See you all tomorrow!
keep going skeg, i knew of a site that used to do a hand converter for most sites, just not titan. is titan still on the ipoker network, might be better to look for a converter on that. otherwise my head is mashed with these HH
aaaah, not been my day so far, just typed in a long paragraph of what happened in my latest session, only to click on add post, and to be told i had been logged out due to inactivty and my post had been deleted! haha.
Can't be bothered typing it all over again, so i will just cut to the chase.
Loss of £2.73 for this session, 471 hands. So many donks on the tables today, i got beat by any 2 **** cards so many times, it was incredible haha. Hopefully i will get the better of those donks in the long run though.
Will do another session after teatime.
Still can't get over my kings getting beat of 8,2 off suit with a 2 high flush... hahaha.
Just finished another hour long session of 194 hands (4 tables), didn't get off to a good start lost one buy in of £4 with pocket 10s against pocket aces, flop gave us both sets, ouch! haha.
Other than that, nothing much else happened apart from one big pot i won to make a profit of £2.11 for the session. Hand is below:
krasata: SB £0.02 Me: BB £0.04
*** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Me [8h 7h]

Brilliant river for me, decided to take a gamble as i put him on an overpair and it was basically a flip after that flop. Not sure if it was the right decision to call though, but it paid off this time haha.
Loss of 26p for today so far, oh well i will just play one less game of pool tonight to make up for it hahaha.
Might do another session tonight once i get in from poker, depends how i feel. Played a lot of poker in the past week or so, i might just have a break tonight lol.
Not doing a session tonight, too tired and don't want to risk ruining my good mood from coming 1st tonight at the pub poker haha. I will play a lot tomorrow probably as i don't play live on thursdays

Just a lighthearted dig at you always saying hahahaha.
Just finished a 2 hour session, was off to a good start with a profit of £2.50 in the first 10 minutes but then it started going downhill as the good players started leaving the tables to be replaced with donks who think any ace is a premium hand. Lost a few medium sized pots against ace-rag where they rivered 2pair/straight etc and also lost about £3 with king-queen suited against a rivered full house (which gave me the flush lol)
I was down about £4 after that hand, i kept grinding away, getting my money back, losing it again, getting it back again, losing it again, like a **** rollercoaster ride hahaha.
But finally my patience paid off, won a huge pot with ace-king:
Seat 1: DaaaHongPao (£5.63 in chips) Seat 3: pasjeglavec (£3.40 in chips) Seat 5: Evelina17 (£7.81 in chips) Seat 6: babkiu (£2.65 in chips) Seat 8: sajones204 (£5.86 in chips) Seat 10: Me (£6.31 in chips)
*** SUMMARY *** Total pot £17.48 Rake £1.00 Me: wins £17.48
Session summary:
515 hands, 10 tables played on, profits on 5 tables of 5p, £1.52, 31p, £1.04 and £13.50. Losses on 5 tables of £1.01, £1.03, 38p, 39p and £1.27. Total profit for the session was £12.34.
I'm delighted with that, considering what a grind it was, never had to be so patient in my life, but it paid off haha.
Finished another 1 hour session, 373 hands, 8 tables, profits of £5.03, 31p, 28p, 12p and 14p (so many pence profits i know but every little helps eh? hahaha) and losses of 6p, 22p and £1.83.
Total profit for the session was: £3.77
Biggest win of the session was this hand:
Seat 1: Blufunny (£1.28 in chips) Seat 2: TOMVEIL (£10.31 in chips) Seat 3: dejavu7 (£5.07 in chips) Seat 4: orla2012 (£3.32 in chips) Seat 5: Doenfoss (£4.94 in chips) Seat 6: ConSolG31 (£1.88 in chips) Seat 8: distorzion (£15.26 in chips) Seat 9: csebonite (£5.34 in chips) Seat 10: Me (£5.87 in chips)

Ouch, wasn't nice! haha.
I also lost something like 80-90p trying out the speed poker thing, it was alright but not for me lol.
That's me done for today, total profit for today was: £10.07 which means my bankroll is currently at £148.57.
you are 44% to win that hand (on the flop) plus you need to consider rake when you win.
Long term stacking off there will cost you money.
