The Story of a Broken Man (£50 or quits!!!)

ok ok the jj hand was me. the more i look at it the more i know i shouldnt have called the turn, it wasnt a snap call btw it was a last second call and i maybe levelled myself too much just because we have a little history from the last time we encountered each other at cash a few months ago. i do reckon ive played it much worse than you waller and ive got extremely lucky in the end up, i know its no consolation to yourself, but i really do think i should be folding turn more often than i should be calling it

Cheers for reply.

I posted the hand in the clinic as I felt I had played the hand badly and the general consensus was that I should prob have folded pre......both plays were questionable shall we say!

End of the day, best hand won, tis poker!

hi mate,
glad you have decided on what to play,and I think you have made the right decision by playing nl4 with some mtt's thrown in.
yeah,the q 10 just fold mate,especially out of position,
gl buddy with building that b/roll back up again.

Ty dev.....yeah starting to find my feet playing 4nl.

Just squeezed another session in. Another winning session, got paid with all my big hands and variance is being kind for now. Should maybe play on while I'm on the up but I'm going to my sisters in Sheffield early doors and I'm quite tired. I'm not even drinking tonight.......what's that all about!?!

No interesting hands to post, just standard pots with AA,KK etc..

Just playing the £500 BH for now then an early night.

Played another 90 min session as usual......I find if i play anymore then mistakes start creeping in, plus I'm playing a couple of MTT's now.

Will talk about the 1st Mtt I played earlier. The £2.30 £250 BH......I was going along well, but yet to take any heads, then I get this hand! The oppo had been very active but this was the first time he had 3 bet shoved. The shove is huge, I mean HUGE and for this reason I was not expecting to see AA or KK and called. As you will see, he has AA but how was the call in the long term???

Ok, so that was the mtt. On the cash tables it was another winning session. Apart from one table where I was constantly getting outdrawn or beat. I will post a couple of the hands below to see if there was any way I could have got away from them. Both oppos were the usual "pretty much any two cards" type of player, the sort who you love to play but will occasionally catch you out with junk.

The fact that the oppo hits his flush and doesn't even raise me up for the last 26p sums him up. Standard play by me or should the flush completing and the wetness of the board slow me down??

This next hand I'm not so sure about. I think the main factor was that his stack was so small that I may as well play for it......there are still enough hands/10x's that I beat for me to do this??? Dunno

So thats my Mtt's paid for and a bit of profit on top. Plus, I am still playing the £1.10 DS and £500 BH so might be some more to add on. May play some more cash later too.

Good luck on the tables all

I havent read through your thread - although I will - but I did read your first post. We have all been there and although its tough to take when your BR goes down sharply it can be a positive thing as long as your learn your lessons. Everyone has had ups and downs its how you deal with them that counts. The biggest lesson I have learnt is that EVERYONE has losing sessions but if you can control how much you lose (i.g. By not tilting, moving up levels to 'chase your money' and playing too big a buyin tournaments) then on your winning sessions you automatically feel alot better as your BR will show + movement and not going back to where you where a few nights ago leaving you feeling as if youve not got anywhere and therefore no 'buzz' which is basically what we all play for. The buzz from winning and making money.

Stone the crows....I cashed in an MTT (seriously cannot remember the last time this happened). The £1.10 DS

Another session completed, just over an hour. I am just playing the £500 BH now as I'm keeping half an eye on the football.......it looks like England are getting outplayed, no surprise there though as it was always going to be tough in Brasil. I still think everybody who voted for the syndicate freeroll bet should have took a punt on England at 4/1, it's not our money afterall and as Greavsie used to say "it's a funny old game".

Anyway, as usual here is the biggest losing hand of the session........was I right to keep betting or should I be slowing down in spots like these?

I have actually just been knocked out of the £500 BH. Here is the exit hand, I'm fairly new to the table so no reads on oppo. His c-bet is big so I felt the only options I had were shove or fold. Did i play the hand ok??? Should I be 3 betting pre or is calling in position ok?

It's such a big flop bet, but are we playing AJ to flop TPTK with 25bigs behind to then just fold to a 'c' bet? As played I think most people go bust here. I know I do!

Good progress with the bankroll Waller, still reading this keep it up.

ty dev, always good to hear from you.

I have been reading your diary and I can relate with it, although you play more tables and I think 10nl is a little harder as there seems to be more regs. Fair play to you for having a go at 9 tabling too. I know you have played more with your DYM's but I assume they are FAR easier to mutli table as they are quite robotic??

Find the amount of tables that suits you best and crush mate, I can see that you are having more winning than losing sessions recently.

I'm in a mini tonight for the first time in weeks thanks to the freeroll...........bit of run good please!!!!

Even one head prize would do me!!! haha

waller02

Sigh.....just had a great battle in the syndicate freeroll. The oppo was wynne1938, left his name in as there are no hard feelings, was actually an enjoyable game. He was short and I kept doubling him up....standard flips....and he comes back and bites me on the backside!!
It is a timed mtt, we are literally 2 mins from the end and I get this hand. He has been raising pre a LOT. If I fold I'm looking at approx £3.50 cash......If I go for it I either go bust, he folds and I add a bit more money, or I win the hand and I'm looking at approx £10.50.

Anyway I bust....but it was worth a shot imo. GG wynne!

Was in two minds whether or not to go for the cash promo but decided against it. I would have no chance at all of making the top 10, I may have scraped into the top 20 but it would not be worth it. It could easily end up in disaster with me losing a big chunk of my br whilst trying to climb the leaderboard.......more importantly, I CBA!!

No more poker tonight as I'm watching skint.....this programme is hilarious, a proper real life shameless. Can't believe that some people are happy living like that!  I actually live quite close to Scunthorpe.......please don't judge me haha
