NB - The January Rewards Points payment has now been received, & is included.
I've also gained or lost a game somewhere, but no matter, the opening & closing balances are the main thing, I'll correct the Game Count when I find trhe time.
I think reward points were paid yesterday Tikay. You may need to check your transactions.....or just start a thread with #sortitoutsky. *edit - you checked before I posted this! So....ignore. Just catching up on your Diary/blog/thread, any more thoughts on playing/pushing the PLO game? Posted by MAXALLY
Morning Alan.
Yes, quite happy to give the PLO DYM's a bit of a push, & for starters, maybe devote a night or two per week to playing them. I have to say, I've never played a PLO DYM in my life, but I'm happy to give it a whirl.
I almost registered for a few last night, but the traffic looked very thin & I gave up eventually. We'll sort out a night, make a bit of noise, & do it.
Bursting through the £1600 barrier for the first time! Posted by FCHD
Hi Barny,
Yes, it took me long enough!
I did not do any chest thumping, because on previous occasions, after breaking particular thresholds or resistance points, I then immediately went on a downswing, & it'd take a month to recover.
So, the downswing is expected....
I've been tweaking a few things in my game (again), which, so far, seem to be working.
I've also, for the first time ever, just played £5.50 & £11 games the last few days. It's rare there is enough traffic at those levels, so I took it whilst I could.
The games on Saturday seemed relatively easy, whereas yesterday, they seemed extremely tough, & there were very few value spots, so I upped stumps quite early.
He had been having a bit of a general chunter all game. When we were 4 handed, it was all a bit tactical & tight, & so yeah, it was taking a while. None of us could afford to make an edgy call as the blinds were so big, & we all had level stacks. I found it quite enjoyable actually, but maybe I'm an odbod.
And he might have a point, too, I'll not argue with that, each to their own & everything.
Anyway, the game eventually ended, & guess what he did?
Your closing balance needs updating on last your post Tikay and very well done on the recent results ;-) Posted by a00rock
Ooh, good spot, thank you, will edit it. Should be £1,624.04.
After being becalmed for months, I seem to be making progress now.
I'm still not sure if this is.....
1) Due to the tweaks I've made recently, which are a bit wider than just ranges.
2) Variance.
3) Playing better generally. We ALL think improved results are because we are playing better, of course, & bad results are because we are "running bad". The truth is probably a bit of both.
4) The (temporary) move to £5.50 & £11 games only.
5) Too small a sample size to make a judgement. This is certainly true.
6) The presence in many of the games recently of one particulary bad player, which may be skewing my results. In a 6 player DYM, with 50% of the field being paid, one value spot can make a lot of difference.
One thing which is definitely true is that, at the moment, I'm really enjoying my "new approach", and so, every day, I can't wait to start my session. "Enjoyment" is a much under-rated part of why we play the game, & is often taken for granted.
As you can see, despite this only being relatively small ball, £10 or £20 per night either way, I'm a bit fixated with it all.
Sadly, I won't be playing much in February. I've just checked my Diary, & what with UKPC & other stuff, I'm unavailable 19 of the 28 days. Boo!

How are you doing at the moment?
A lad typed this in the chatbox yesterday.....
"Oh God, playing these is so painful, & boring".
He had been having a bit of a general chunter all game. When we were 4 handed, it was all a bit tactical & tight, & so yeah, it was taking a while. None of us could afford to make an edgy call as the blinds were so big, & we all had level stacks. I found it quite enjoyable actually, but maybe I'm an odbod.

Yup, Registered for the next one.
