Another Diary, A Journey: HUSNG / Cash

LARSON7

Ok, after my last attempt, i've decided i'm going to start another diary and see it through this time lol

Dunno what direction it will take, but roughly show my progression, through MTT's, cash games and maybe some double your moneys.

I know your thinking, another low stakes diary this will be a ripper

It will show the good and bad along the way, hopefully more good!!

Should be a good read, good luck.

I hope people actually read those diaries btw, seems like no-one is interested in mine since i've been the only poster on it for a while hahaha :P

Yo Skeg, I know what you mean, I always think no1 bothers looking at mine cos I dont get many posts that arent from me but Ive been told by quite a few people that theyre readers of it and just not posters.

Im sure its the same for you. I know that I read your diary most times you update it, Ill pop in and say hello sometime.

P.S. lack of apostrophies is because Im at my mums house and that key is broke on her laptop

Yeah i suppose haha, i always read your diary every night as well just haven't posted in it yet lol. I don't mind anyway, the diary helps me keep motivated with my poker so its all good lol.

I had a laptop like that once, except it wasn't the apostophie key that was broken, it was the 'a' key, **** nightmare!! haha.

Lol

Try doing my ramblings Paul, no ones posted anything since we last had warm weather! (Sulking)

Seriously though, I think you're right. People do read them but don't necessarily want to post. (Hope so,anyway)

Larson

With the positive attitude you have with everything you post, I would be shocked if a diary from you wouldn't be a success.

Really good to have people like yourself on the forum.

jdsallstar

have to say i'm a reader of the diaries, rarely post on them but really enjoy them. It's good to hear how other players are fairing, their thoughts and feelings on their poker and an insight into the trials and tribulations of the different forms of the game.

Helps add a personality and some life to the players on here. Sometimes it's hard to imagine that behind that little bald headed guy with sunglasses avatar (or whatever one) there's actually a real human being. Diaries help make it feel a little more real

should be a good diary larson i will enjoy it myself. at the minute only i only know devonfish with a diary from the NL4p.
i do enjoy dooohs and laberts too. i just don't write too much on the incase it goes the wrong way.

hi larson,
good luck with your diary,and reaching your £300 target...
bit easy though,if you don't mind me saying,maybe £1000 would have been my choice.
saying that,it's still £150 so no gimmie.
stay focussed on the long term,ie;reaching the target, would be my best advice,and not to let losing sessions get to you.
best of luck,i'm sure you can/will do it.

LARSON7

Cheers Dev, one step at a time lol

If i achieve that, then i'll reset my target.

It's a big if haha, sometimes i can play really well, other times i'm just spewey. If i stay focussed i think i will.

yeah, i'm sure you'll do it.
that's the point of these diarys to challenge yourself and hopefully achieve something too.
when you get to £300 you could then have another double up target of £600 and so on.  lols
best wishes buddy

Thanks Dev,

Are you still playing the DYM's games or do you just stick to cash now?

Cant remember if you play turbo head up Sit and Gos, but if you did would you fancy a game?:D

Best of luck with this mate.

Look forward to reading it.

hi mate,
just playing cash,nl4 atm.
was playing dym's all last year,just the standard ones.
never played any turbo stuff or much heads up stuff,apart from a few times in freerolls.  lol
i would be happy to have a heads up game though sometime if u fancied it,
maybe one of the £1 games as i don't want you to go bankrupt.  lols
(i did watch a heads up video on u-tube a couple of weeks ago,some guy getting a tutorial from a pro,and it really was interesting,and has helped my heads up play alot,so...just saying.)  lol

dev
ps;i'll see if i can find link for you..
anyway for the moment...
if u type in deucescracked on google,etc,
then look for;'mentor:Ansky(#1-100nl heads up)'

Current Bank roll, £112.05

Had a few bad beats, played some bad poker but thats poker.

Onwards and upwards!

I played 2 tables of 5p10p and lost 2 buy ins lol which is a big part of the above. Oneof the hands i had it all in for about £8 total, I had Ace 7 2 pair on the flop, against a flush draw, all in on the flop, hits his flush.

Hope you dont mind me saying in that QQ hand 5x at those blinds is horrid. this hand goes in anyways, but we dont want to be doing this with the rest of our range, as we cant bluff fold this sizing.

meh ul tho.

Posted by The_Don90

Not at all mate, it is a weird sizing, I had a think about what i wanted to do here, i was going to min raise, then when i seen the BB stack, i thought bet big, get rid of everyone else, and really he has to call given his 4 x BB behind, i was pretty confident he was calling. The other reason i bet so big, was perhaps hoping to induce an all in.

Tho i agree with you 2x the blind would prob have been a better sizing.

Hey Larson, good luck with hitting your target maybe we will meet at the tables in the near future. UL in the hand above as well.

Up  abit playing cash tonight, could of been more! Lost this big pot for about £14.

Set over set.

Could have folded the river, with 4 clubs out but felt i had to call, albeit prob a bad call
