    HU GAmes since 17th May, when i said i was gonna play 1000! Didn't realise it would take so long lol

    played 153, av profit 0.10 , profit: £15.39, roi: 8.3% (Thanks Ben for letting me know!)

    Cash, ended up about £10 quid up today. But like i said above has been a brutal spell, you think you have it conquered and then you get a bad run.

    Played for 1 hour today, lost half a buy in at Cash

    Played 4 hu games, won 3 lost 1.

    Cash; prob still playing 2 many hands. And calling raises out of position. I had tighetned right up, then seem to have loosened up again. I;m gonna start playing tighter again. Seemed to just creep in again

    Today

    Played way to much haha

    I was up at cash 2 buy ins, then i was down, and in the end over all from cash i was about over  1 buyin up over all. Started off playing really snug then seemed to loosen up (again). Then went back to to playing tightish.

    Played a hand the rake on it was 7.5%, never knew it was that high!

    Hu Games, played 3 won 2. Cash is actually now seeming a lot harder than at any other time i have played lol prob psychological

    Overall, i do win at cash, but not a massive amount. ANd have had a bit of a downswing recently.

    I seem to be better at the HU Games, would it be better just to focus on one instead of doing both?

    Funky post- red signifies a bad day and the green signifies your coninued positive attitude right... ^ lol saw you very briefly at a table earlier was wondering what you had been playing, just play what you want too atm mate your more than rolled, so if you enjoy cash and want to improve at it then stick to it then when you have the urge to play HU just do that don't feel you have to play one and not the other just for the sake of it.

    lol cash is getting a bit boring right now, there are so many regulars at the table. Not regulars on the forum, just regulars they are multi-tabling at 4nl, and hardly play any hands. And sitting tight gets boring lol even tho i know i should.

    The biggest way i lose money, is from playing MTT's.

    The thing i win most at is hu games. Might start concentrating on these to build up a good amount of money.

    Build up 2 £2, then £5.

    Larson when OOP I would stay extra tight these days the tables are so passive and trapping like that it is almost impossible to get much value from things such as sets without doing what you would do with you premium hands.
    I am starting to just check most rivers myself if I am in position and a very scary card comes which you could say is odd for someone who is aggressive. but that doesn't mean I never bluff lol.
    keep up with your sit n gos

    This hand here just represents poker right now, guy calls a massive raise with junk, and hits his random out on the river.

    Apart from this hand i broke even today, but still it is a brutal spell right now.

    Not playing bad, but a lot of bad beats, a lot more so than "bad beats" i would have put on someone else. In fact i n the last 2 weeks, i've maybe only given 1 person a bad beat where i got a full house on river against their flopped straight. Had another hand 2nd nuts over nuts, where i lost a buy in.

    I'm still in profit and whatever, but i might withdraw 100 quid again cause such a bad run is serioussly annoying!

    Don't withdraw! ride it out mate, if your still in profit and having a bad time of it that shows your making the right decisions still.

    Honestly, yesterday playing Hu the first time ever i lost about 5 games out of 6 (and i won the first 1!)

    If you are grinding a large volume of HU you will get used to it, plus by having a bigger roll it won't affect you as much, withdraw and then when you lose a few in a row it will hurt all the more. I have lost alot more than that in a row on multiple occasions it happens especially in turbos, things will soonc hange if you keep doing the right things, you saw how bad my confidence was earlier in the months when i didnt feeli could beat HU at all but i was just on a bad run and having a large roll allowed me to get through it without giving up.

    Yo folks.

    I decided to play some HU sngs yesterday for the first time in ages, not a proper session just had an hour to fill.

    I started on pokerstars, and swiftly lost 5/5.

    Won the next 2, then lost 3 more.

    Moved over to sky and played 2x £5 hypers. Lost both.

    Decided to try some turbos.

    Played 3, lost 3.

    2/14 overall

    Brutal :(

    Play those HU's tomorrow Henrik? We can't both lose! ;)
