WD Dev getting past the £100 mark. Personally i,d play more than 1 table when you decide to move up but thats just personal preference although i have to admit when i play MTT,s if i get to an FT i won,t load up anymore games and try and concentrate fully on that one when any other games have finished GL with the next milestone in your diary P Posted by MP33
Thanks Paul, yes mate, i'll start off playing 1 table, as I did at nl4, then if I win a few buy-ins around 5, i'll add the 2nd.
You know me though Paul, can't see me playing 2 forever. he he. I've even taken away my second monitor today as it's no longer needed... now that's progress cheers mate, be lucky, dev
Hardly play cash but over the last couple of weeks I have been trying it out. Mainly playing 10nl capped and I am up a few quid, only play them for a little change to DYMs to break it up. Posted by stuarty117
well done on being in profit mate, that's an achievement in itself, as the 2 games are like 'chalk & cheese' are you enjoying it, or finding it a bit of a struggle? I found it really hard last year, when I first started playing nl10, and if I'm honest, didn't really enjoy it at all. I guess moving away from your comfort zone and suddenly finding yourself not winning anymore, came as a bit of a shock to the system, maybe., for me anyway I mean. I'm totally hooked on playing cash now though, and starting off at the bottom, with no bankroll is a real challenge for me. I wonder if you will make the change too DYM's are good, don't get me wrong, and much money can be made playing them, as I'm sure you know, but they are hard work, or at least that's how I found it to be in the end. playing up to 18 tables day in day out did take it's toll, and I was pretty much burnt out by the end. now playing 2 tables is so much more comfortable. ok I'm only winning small bucks atm, but imagine if I was playing 2xnl100 one day... anything is possible you know.. ok well almost anything is possible just look at how well Lambert180 is doing now... a great example for all of us.
best wishes mate, whichever game you are playing, dev
only intended a short session... 7&1/2 hrs later, after being down all night, find myself 8p down, what a result still racking up the old points, now on 164 he he.
lol . Just 7 and a half hours. I,ve done it myself a few times. Got in last week and sat down to play an hour . Hardly moved for 6 hours . Easily done (played on there myself tonight. There were a few tilters about - probably had something to with it being Friday night)
another w so happy days. played solid no big dramas... just how I like it playing h/u 1st round tomorrow night, so looking forward to that 1, never played proper h/u game before, so should be interesting night dev
had a good h/u match v tom281189. each game could have gone either way tbh, so the score line is a little flattering. very nice guy, and good banter throughout.
early night, back on the cash trail tomorrow, night all, dev
just the 13&1/2 hours straight today. down all day until the last 1/2 hour. wasn't going to let this session go without giving it my best shot felt like the world was against me today, sure you've all been there. anyway, better get some sleep now I guess, laters, dev
Its ok to book a loss sometimes though so you shouldnt feel as if you have to keep playing for hours on end just to make it a winning session because the tiredness could result in things getting alot worse.
Going along nice devon mate Its ok to book a loss sometimes though so you shouldnt feel as if you have to keep playing for hours on end just to make it a winning session because the tiredness could result in things getting alot worse. Good luck Kev Posted by Diminuendo
Thanks Kev, yeah I should have stopped much sooner but as I hadn't played for 2 days I felt really fresh, and you know what it's like sometimes when you go down, it then becomes a challenge to win it back he he. I'm sure I wouldn't have played anywhere near as long if I had been winning. turned out ok though, and if anything I think my game improved as the session went on, which is a surprise. found I got even more aggressive and luckily won a few nice hands towards the end, which did the trick. hope I can continue playing that way in my next session. i'll let you know. he he.
anyway, a 35p win looks a lot better than a £5-£10 losing session, which looked likely all day. I went through all the emotions yesterday, mostly bad, but somehow got through it.(it was a real test of character as much as anything,)even if I had lost £15-£20 it wouldn't have mattered, as I know I gave it my all. and that's the great thing about building up a bankroll from nothing, you are playing with 'free money' so it's never as bad as you think when you lose, I just look at 'the big picture' and everything is fine.
Hi Daz, i'm ok mate, thanks for asking... was just about to send you a PM as it goes...
Needed some time off as I simply wasn't enjoying it, sure most of you have been there.
so what happened was...
Sunday 15/2/14 lost £18 nightmare session,nl4, got AK allin on turn v k8 on kxx x board 8 on river ... £7.50 hand
AK V AQ AIPF QXX X X £8 hand usual cr*p... which was the final straw, to say i wasn't happy is an understatement, how the idiots can play such rubbish is beyond me, let alone win with it, is just laughable sometimes.
so withdrew the lot £101, so not bad from £8 odd start, and haven't been here since.
then the other day..
had e-mail from Sky saying if i deposit £10 i get £20 free so just done that
also found on my return i had £3.30 in my account from somewhere... maybe a Skybet darts bet came in, not sure,
anyway now have £33.30 in my account... so what do i do?
continue playing nl4 and hopefully rebuild? and continue with my original plan... to move up to nl10 at £200 b/r?
go back to DYM's where i'm most comfortable, and build b/r?
I'm really not sure what to do... i'm only here because of the £20 bonus really, not because i desperately want to play or need the money.
any suggestions would be most welcome.
don't suppose much has changed in a month and a half, has it?
ps; Sorry Paul (Lambert180), for not playing 2nd rd H/U game, i do oppologise for that.
Hi Dev Welcome back I've been playing PLO8 DYM's for a while now as i was getting stale at the Holdem ones. Give it a go its a great game. Oh and TK plays so there's some value ! Gl fella Posted by VespaPX
Thanks Mick,
no idea how to play plo8 m8, i'd have to watch & learn from scratch... no point watching TK then he he
Hi Devonfish, good to see you back! I've started a little April challenge, you are very welcome to join me! I started a thread about it - I have £50 and trying to make 50PP as many days as I can in April for the ipad promo (and make a profit hopefully!). Could be fun?
