    I am such an idiot!

    1. Shouldn't have bought into the mini.
    2. My exit hand from the main is just laughable!!!!

    This was the 2nd time in the space of 2 orbits where I had 3 bet the oppo and each time he had snap shoved the flop. So.......the second time I called thinking he was just doing it with any 2 and if I was behind then I could have up to 10 outs. Still think it's a poor call though really.......so annoying to lose due to my own bad play!!!!! Given the way oppo had been playing, is there any argument to make the call or is it just BAD???

    Sorry about the poor advice :s!

    Although I am sure I donked off like £2.50 to you on the forum cash so I donated part of it ;)

    If I could repay it I would, I may well go to one of the next SPT's so if your there you can have it back!

    haha no worries it was worth a shot and I did enjoy the 2 hands that I played lol

    Will listen to Geldy next time, although I do remember him buying in direct to the VLV final for £1100 so he doesn't exactly practice what he preaches (still a legend for that though!)

    Managed to cash in the 9.15 deepy (finishing 8th) as well as winning both of the dyms that I played to recover some of my previous losses!!

    £100 DS.

    Wasn't going to play tonight as I went out for a meal with the family, but got in at 7 and couldn't resist. Glad I did play..........

    Started off with the Prem warm up freeroll with a small cash

    waller021930039£4.07
    Played the £1.10 deepy getting to the mid/late stages with no joy. Wd to Larson for coming 4th btw, wp m8 :)

    The £2.20 went better and I had another final table. Finished 3rd in the end as Ploppy deservedly took it down wp him.

    waller0203£18.47
    At this point though I wasn't too disappointed because I was also approaching the final table of the 20.05 £500 BH...........and won it!!!!! This win was my 3rd in a week and it also over trebled my br. Finally feel like I might be playing a half decent game again. There were over 300 runners in this one and it is easily my best result for many a month.

    Big thanks to jjjach for railing me to the end, it really helps having someone there giving you encouragement and it also keeps you focussed on the game as you don't wanna make yourself look like a fool!!! lol

    Every blind squirrel finds a nut every now and again.

    Congrats mate. Now is the time for some serious  BRM so you can build on this.

    Ty all for the kind words.

    Not 100% sure how to proceed brm wise....is a 40 buyin rule ok for mtts? Or should it be more? I don't suppose it makes a difference atm unless I break the £200 barrier and sneak in the odd £5.50 game. Until then I will continue playing the same mtts, but it will be easier knowing that the beats won't hurt as much.

    Will be playing the DTD's tonight, gl at the tables all.

    I think GaryQQQ is/was working to a 40 buyin rule too. 40-50 should be reasonable......watch me go broke.....again lol

    And when I said 40... i mean more often than not i'll enter the main... so more like 13 buy in rule.

    Watch me go broke. :D
