In Response to Re: The Story of a Broken Man (£50 or quits!!!) : hahaha, I'm sure there are worse players to ask, maybe. You would also be a good person to ask, your backdoor strat is particularly strong. Posted by waller02
I feel its my finest quality on the tables. I also warn people I have backdoors, but they dismiss it. More fool them!
Drinking whilst playing. I hear people say all the time...don't play whilst drunk. BUT, I disagree with this. I always seem to play better after a few drinks, some of my best results have come whilst being under the influence. However I do think there is a fine line between being drunk and playing well and being leathered and playing badly......be interested to hear any other views on this.
Actually agree with you here Ryan. Some of my best (including my best ever result in the primo) has come while I have had a few, so to speak. It does make you play better sometimes being more relaxed through drink, but totally agree that being blind drunk is not optimal! (ask Doh when he plays cash!, lol)

just to prove my point.......I'm stone cold sober
Fudgee77773006Entry to £10k Primo SemiQUEEN_KING07£9.60waller0208 a few drinks and I would have got the seat I'm sure haha
Having an early finish tonight. Played a primo sat (see above) and bubbled it Played a £250 BH, got off to a great start taking an early head only to lose a 90bb pot all in pre KK<JJ.....jack on turn sigh!!
Pleased to see you won the £1.10 deepie last night after earlier bad runnage, well played.
I'm with you and Maxally. Playing in a relaxed frame of mind after a few drinks is totally cool as far as I'm concerned. I'm another whose biggest ever bink came whilst moderately under the influence. I think it can open up your game somewhat and bring in a little risk aversion that is perhaps more profitable than your normal style.
In Response to Re: The Story of a Broken Man (£50 or quits!!!) : Hi. Thanks for the post. Starting a diary is definitely a good way to try and improve your game, you can post any hands that you are unsure of and there are plenty of people here who give great advice. A diary can also help with things such as bankroll management etc.. If you have 4/5 weeks off then a few games of poker is a great way of passing the time. If you need any advice on playing 4nl then the likes of craigcu, larson7 and tintin are the best people to ask. They regularly play and easily beat that level. Gl mate. Posted by waller02
I'll get one started either tonight or tomorrow! I'm probably going to set up an excel document too to keep track of my bankroll - although I guess I can always add to it if need be. (Where it's currently at, I'm probably going to have to!) Thanks for the pointers too, I'll be running in their direction when things go belly up! Hopefully they won't though. It's not about building up a big bankroll for me, I'd rather focus more on trying to improve my game at this stage so I'll not be too fussed if I mess things up to start with so long as I improve from my mistakes.
Well done in the £1.10 deep stack the other night by the way!
As for drinking while playing poker, strangely enough I don't drink at all. That's bound to change though seeing as I'll be going to uni come September, I don't think anyone can stay sober through that! I can imagine it helps sometimes though, changing your mind set and style of play slightly. I can imagine a few people have blown their whole bankroll after a session too after they've had a few - that can't be nice to wake up to!
Well done on the win on Friday night! Just playing our fave tournie just now lol Edit: Oot lol Glad to see another win, things are going sweetly, just waiting for the next win now...;) Posted by LARSON7

Cheers Gary. I do enjoy the deepys as the fields are quite soft and there is always plenty of play.

This will definitely change once you start uni haha.
I will keep a look out for your diary then, best of luck.

So in poker speak, she was behind pre, flop, and turn but binked it by the river?

It was the equivalent of hitting a one outer, she won by 4/1000ths of a second.
Well it is safe to say that I won't be troubling the DTD leaderboard tonight. Didn't play well as well as running quite bad too. Queens constantly let me down, always overcards on the flop and often in a multiway pot.
Made a big error in DTD 1. I had 88 in a 3 bet pot, prob should have folded pre but ended up shoving 30bb on the 9 high flop because the oppos c bet was almost pot sized. It looked like a bet that didn't want a call so I shoved over the top thinking he had AK.........wrong, he had JJ.
Had a deep run in DTD 2 finishing 8 off the money. I shoved my 13bb pre in the CO with KJ after there had been a limper, button re shoves......ooops, he had KK, game over!!
Never got going in DTD 3, really didn't play well tbh. Just one of those nights!!!
Haven't played much during the past couple of days. Last night I had one sat attempt for the main then called it a night.
Tonight I have just played the 2 biggies. The 35p £25 BH and the 55p £50 Velocity......bigtime poker haha. I did cash in both though and even managed to win the velocity.
35p BH waller0205£0.95 + £0.71 Head Prizes4 A reasonable roi I guess.
50p Velocity waller021380001£18.50 A nice return for a 50p buy in.
Not playing anymore tonight as I'm about to watch England destroy Scotland 3-0.
