    In Response to Re: My Diary:
    The AA vs 78 hand, 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.

    I've never really understood rake to be honest, as a new online player lol. What is it exactly? And i was 44% to win it outright, and 6% for it to be a split pot so it was 50/50 wasn't it?

    Anyway i decided to come back online and do another session as tv on thursday nights is terrible haha. Brilliant session it was, 1 hour, 4 tables, profits of £6.85, £1.31 and £3.25. One loss of £2.75. Total profit of £8.66

    Most profitable hands were winning a flip with queens against ace-king suited, not going to lie after the turn card i was ******** myself hahaha :P and winning with aces against someone who bluffed me with queen 8 off, almost got me to fold it as well! Hands are below:


    Seat 1: Stassedov (£5.72 in chips)
    Seat 3: Radumc (£10.59 in chips)
    Seat 5: Siergy (£4.00 in chips)

    Please google poker rake,

    you would need a zero rake, and a 51% win to make this play +ve long term, which you were not getting.

    cheers calcalfold, i'll do that lol.

    latest session was pretty much a disaster, absolutely no luck at all, got my aces cracked twice and kings got beat by pocket 7s and the amount of times i got rivered was unbelievable haha. Oh well, everyone has a session like this i suppose, i will go out to clear my head a bit and come back to do another session after teatime.

    Session summary:

    1 hour 10 mins, 6 tables, profits of £3.27, 45p and 14p. Losses of £5.26, £2.84 and £1.40. Total loss for the session: £5.64.

    You know what? I'm delighted this has happened, because coincedentally every time i have a bad session online, i play great live and vice versa hahaha. Tomorrow is national final day in Stoke, so come on, i want to lose another £5 so i'm guaranteed to win tomorrow!!! ;) hahaha.

    Don't be results orientated :)

    It's easy to say you're 44% (or whatever) against AA on that flop so therefore it's bad, but you don't know he has AA until he turns his hand over so it's meaningless. You have to look at his whole range which given the action is probably gonna be made up of sets, straights, overpairs, 2prs and if you stick that into pokerstove, you're pretty crushed.

    It is a bad call, but don't base your opinion on the hand he showed on this 1 occasion.

    Cheers lambert, i will keep that in mind for next time this sort of situation arises, definitely a learning experience that hand anyway lol.

    No session done tonight, was playing in the league, and i'm off to bed early as i'm up at 7 for the national final. See you all sunday!

    Great effort so far.

    As you build your roll, the bad beats will hurt less and less, until you just reload and carry on without hardly flinching!

    Thanks very much calcalfold :)

    Thats me back from Stoke now, didn't do too well in the national final was very unlucky twice i flopped top pair, top kicker and my opponent flopped a set haha. But now i'm back to try and build my bankroll even more, off to do a session right now I shall post results when i am done :)

    Latest session summary:

    1 hour 20 minutes, 6 tables, profits of £3.74 and £3.18. Losses of £1.81, £1.40, £1.75 and 6p. Total profit for the session: £1.88

    Not much to talk about or exciting hands to post, i was up about £4 before some guy shoved pre flop for £2.50 with 2,4 off suit and i called with my queens, the river gave him 2 pair lol. Other than that, pretty standard stuff happened.

    Will do another session after the football tonight probably, it's been a week since i started this diary and I am £45.22 in profit in one week, is that good for a new online player who has just been playing NL4 and nothing else lol?

    hi Ryan,
    yes it is m8.
    i've been playing nl4 & nl10 since the 1st of January and i'm £24.24 down.  lol

    mind you i've never been any good at cash. ha ha.
    made a few quid playing dym's though,luckily.

    seriously,any profit is good and as each week goes by you will be able to see exactly what your weekly/monthly average is.
    i would say £45 a week from nl4 is pretty decent,that's £180 a month,obviously.
    some players will make that in a week or fortnight,some will only make that in a month...or less.

    best wishes,
    keep up the good work.
    ps;any tips for me?
    apart from the obvious;go back to playing dym's  lol

    I doubt i will be able to keep winning £45+ every week, i mean it just seems like a lot of money for just playing 2-3 hours of NL4 per day haha. But i will take any profit, i'm mainly doing this to improve my game, so any profit made along the way is just a bonus for me (will be spent on beer and in the bookies probably!) haha.

    And the only tips i have for you for NL4 is don't play too much at one time, do a session between 30-90 minutes, then have a break, come back a few hours later, and do the same again lol. If i had to stare at a computer screen with 3-5 tables on it for more than 2 hours at a time i wouldn't be able to concentrate that well.

    Also, i'm sure you already know this but ABC poker is the best way to play NL4, don't ever bluff unless necessary, as you will more likely be called down when the oppo has bottom pair or something haha. Read dohhhhs (can't remember his name correctly) guide on how to play NL4, i did and it helped a lot :)

    Off to do another session right now, wish me luck!

    Not the best of sessions, had quite a few bad beats, lost one buy in with my queens running into aces and another buy in with my aces getting cracked off 2 5 off suit (lol)

    Overall for this session i have lost £3.26, which considering the bad beats i had and the amount of hard call/fold decisions i had i will take, was only profitable on one table where i won £5 or so with a full house against a flush (hand history won't load so can't post any hands atm lol)

    So overall, today was a losing day, but only by £1.38. My bankroll stands at £161.96

    Hopefully i run better tomorrow haha, might do another session tonight if i can't sleep, but depends if i feel like it, the beats i had to take tonight were quite bad so might need a little recovery time (a.k.a a few beers ;) hahaha)

    Since it is exactly a week since i started playing online and made this diary, i will post how much profit/loss i have made in the week. So this week my profit is: £41.96

    Wow, can't believe how bad NL4 players are at titan, lost £4 with ace,10 against 2 3 off suit, and another £4 with kings against 4,8 off suit, absolute joke honestly haha. Wish i had the bankroll to play at higher limits where the play must be better :( so frustrating when things like that happen, especially 10-15 times in one day like today lol.

    Rant over, lost just under £5 in that latest session, was down about £10 at one stage but got it back after this hand:

    Seat 1: sethmoro27 (£1.00 in chips)

    Oh yeah, why is this topic now at the top of this section in the forum? I thought it was meant for important topics etc?

    Well i decided to play a little bit of blackjack to take my mind off the bad beats i had suffered from playing poker today, (in the casino section of titan poker) and i won £25!! Beginners luck eh? :P definitely cheered me up anyway haha.

    I know it doesn't count as I didn't earn it from playing poker but i'm just mentioning it as it has made my bankroll a little bit bigger, it is now at £182.71.

    That's me done for today, not a very good day poker-wise, but blackjack was fun hahaha.

    See you all tomorrow!

    Just finished another session, was in a confident mood since i won at live poker tonight haha.

    Got off to a bad start though, lost £3 with trip jacks v a full house, but i kept being patient, grinding away and it paid off in the end after winning a few medium sized pots.

    Session summary:

    1 hour 45 minutes, 502 hands, 7 tables. Profits of £4.34, 48p and 8p. Losses of 4p, £1.02, 76p and 47p. Total profit for the session was: £2.61

    Decent session, was a really good grind. Patience was definitely the key lol, that's me done for today, i will probably do my next session tomorrow afternoon if i have time, if not it will be after teatime.

    Current bankroll:
    £189.96

    Quite a rollercoaster ride that last session haha, was down £6 after my kings got rivered by jacks and then got most of it back with my jacks surviving a flip v ace-king lol. Hand history is taking too long to load so can't post any hands at the moment.

    Session summary:

    350 hands, 6 tables, profits of £5.40, £5,30 and 2p (lol) and losses of £4.94, £4.10 and 76p. Total profit was 92p, every little helps i suppose haha. ;)
