No need to tilt at all and played it pretty badly on the turn. When I tilt there is no red mist or outward emotional signs, I simply tell myself 'Ah well, lets just bet a lot and see what happens!'....knowing that I will probabaly have a session like this and regret it.
'If you've got a set Larson lets see it!!!.....oh......'
Simply baaaaAAAAaaaaaaaaad and wont be playing again today. Sorry for the boring hand histories but needed to vent. Bah!!!!!
Back on it tomorrow! Overall BR has shrunk a little recently as well although it wont affect the games I can comfortably buy in to. If nothing else this diary really has shown that you cant take short term results too seriously in isolation and that a deep BR is required. Thankfully I have always been a tight Yorkshireman so still got plenty buyins in reserve for another day.
Fold pre 100bb w J9s imo. Raise flop instead of turn. Or flat flat ship/fold Posted by TPTP123
Disagree. Can't see anything wrong with calling J9s in pos. Flop is where it went wrong. Need to raise here. Our equity is at its strongest, we can rep so much and fold out a lot of hands. After calling flop we can only call turn as this card changes little and we can't really rep much here so getting him off a hand isn't going to happen.
I demand a recount. And redisagree... also 110bb is deep? We need to be like at least 150bb to flat here with J9s. is leak if your flatting this on button at a 5 handed table. 6handed I agree flat. May sound silly but there is a difference.
I would rather flat with 65s,54s, sorry for derail.
On the j9s hand it is the kind of hand that I will sometimes fold to good player's utg raise when concentrating and playing a tight game, but overplay constantly when on autopilot and/or 'tilted'.
Remember when we play in position it is less about our hand and more about our opponents. Therefore J9s and a lot of other good combo hands are easily profitable to play in position.
Today was one of them "sigh" days where whatever I tried, whatever CARDs I had, the poker-gods were angry, and my hand would be outdrawn on flop turn, or river.
I am hoping that last night's (Thur 15/5) progress is a sign of things to come! After much bedtime reading and reading the forums, I came to realise that perhaps, I'm playing a little too scared and not willing to "go for the juggular" when I should be doing so...Also despite them being good fun and relatively short, am now wondering why I bother with the turbos??
SO, I came out with all guns blazing and by the time I was ready to play my evening session, I'd done 2 games during the day and was 2/2!
The strong form continued into the night and I finished my session (as planned) at 10:30pm with four games complete and managed to cash in ALL FOUR! 100% Win, rate and a decent (well for me it is £1.60) profit
In absolute freefall and my poker confidence is in bits at the moment.
Decided to play a lot today and try and boost my points total. I am now sitting at just 1k points but with a massive -£223 deficit so far this month to show from it, that must be some kind of record at nl10 and my game is all over the place. Bah!
It is going to be a long hard road until the end of June when I wrap up this challenge. I will drop to nl8/4 until I possibly claw back to £400+, wish me luck.
On the plus side, I am heading into town for a friend's birthday meal tonight and then have a drinking outing to Blackpool scheduled for Saturday which is always lively and should distract me from my poker woes.
Hi Rich, Thought it was about time I updated you I finished April with about £744 profit but alas no ipad! My new BR challenge is to make £5K for Christmas, my current BR is £1466 so it's going really well (from £50 on April 1st) So profit so far this month at £671
That's a phrase I can easily use to sum-up the past three days play on Sky Poker!
After not "winning" (cashing) a single DYM on Wednesday (14/5), I had the exact opposite on thursday and made back a large chunk of my losses, whilst cashing 4/4 DYM's.
Then yesterday I managed just two DYM's, @ 60p Standard level but failed to "cash" in either - However in the second I know that some of my play once I got a decent stack was very poor and quite rightly I ended up not cashing.
So results for last night (and this morning)
60p DYM (5min Blinds)
2 Played
2 Fails
Net Loss -£1.20
12:00 £20 Gtd Turbo FR (3min Blinds)
Finished 18/222
Tournament Winnings: £0.24p.
BR Now: £20.14
Footnote:- My recent form, I kinda knew I had it in me to cash in an MTT, I know this has only come from a FR but if I can do it here, then why not in a more larger tournament/competition?
No play in recent days due to the background of a family bereavement and the funeral, held on Monday..
Back in action on the tables yesterday and I played quite well, although in my first game, Belisibub was railing my action and has some interesting comments for me - unfortunately he railed the one game when I was away from my S/Poker table window alot because my niece was over and I was away alot and unable to properly focus on my poker (Note to self, Never play competative "Money" Poker when this happens).
Here at the results from Tues 20/5 Game Types: 60p DYM S&G 5 Played 3 Success 2 Fail Win-rate: 60% BR Mvmnt: B/EVEN! BR Now £20.34

Slow and steady start to the day.
