Well everytime you have a new point to say start a paragraph so in the last post you could start a new pargraph when you begin this sentence, "i just tried making poker fun",
hi Carl,been messing about,think i,ve cracked it,,let,s see yep now i,ve got it,at last thanks buddy can,t stop using it now. you,ll have to excuse me...i am an old duffer after all!...lol,
OK, really bad start, pulled it back a bit towards the end for a small loss, I'm really struggling with bad beats at the moment, hopefully the downswing will only be temporary.

thanks Carl.that,s nice of you to say so ....sometimes you can feel like you are just rambleing on a bit, so it,s nice to know at least one person(hopefully a few more),are finding some of what i,ve got to say at least a little bit interesting! note,new paragraph, again.you see.....i am listening too! MISTER B,...just a thought.if it were me ,i would drop down a level or two whilst things aren,t going so well. but that,s just me....carefull!

Thanks Devon, I'm currently rolled for the £5.50 DYMs, and still have a bit of lee-way at this level, but rest assured if I drop below the 22 buy-in threshold, I'll drop down a level. I'm getting a new sony laptop today, perhaps that will bring me some good luck!

Played on a couple of tables with you last night MisterB and the only observation i would make is curb the
aggression a tad early doors. Not saying there is anything wrong with preflop aggro but in a dym the aim is
to finish in top 3, you dont have to have the most chips at the end. Now, you may well have been picking
up monsters pre but no point shoving, you need to get paid with your good hands, not just pick up the blinds.
Hope this helps.
PS Binking a 9 when all in with k9 v my k10 is not very sporting either LOL.
I currently use the 22 BI rule but that's mainly because I'm just starting out and have just progressed into the £3.30's.
Also on JC's blog he mentions it as a way to move up, get to 22 BI's have your 2 shots if it goes well you keep going if you lose both you step down and get to 22 again simple.
I myself as readers of my 'Diary' will know I'm currently very close to having to drop down but it doesn't faze me at all as I know I'm playing well and it's just a matter of time before I get the run to send me into proper safety zone.
Of course I could stay at £2.25 till my roll for £3.30 is 30-40 Bi's but because of the rake it just ain't worth it imo and I'd like to play as few more games at that level as possible.

Thanks Pomfrittes, yes noticed you on some tables last night, I take the points on board, I agree perhaps too aggressive, the reason for the shoving is because I've had such a run of bad luck, I couldn't do with getting called and then the villain picking up a flush or straight, which is usually happening.
I understand though, that playing like this would probably be -EV in the long run, so will use tonights session to try and curb it a bit.
Sorry about the bad beat, it's a nice change for me right now lol
Also, we'll see how the new laptop works out, it's a lot quicker now, so coupled with my 22" external monitor, we should be rolling haha
hope the new laptop brings you some good luck MISTER B. personally,i think that the 22 buy-ins for a level is a little on the low side, as you only need 1 or 2 bad sessions and you really feel those losses. i am currently playing £3.30 level and my b/roll is just under £300, so even if i lost a session say 11-1 which= £30 ISH,...it,s only 10% of my roll which i can live with. if for example i moved up to the £5.50 level and lost 11-1....£50 ish,thats 1/6 of my roll,then it just starts hurting. but i guess i,m a bit of a nit.anyway,just saying!
Still here guys, only managed one session since my last update which was a rather frustrating W 4 L6, leaving me with a BR of £505.02. Struggling to find much time just lately but all being well I will be able to get a few games in tomorrow night. I will also update after that session. Great to see a few people getting involved at the moment I wish you all the very best of luck with your progress!
just finnished a real grind 2nite, went down again 7-2,7-3 something like that. ended up ok, 23-13 up won £16.50.....phew b/roll over the £300 mark at,£314.72....hoooooray!

i guess if it,s good enough for jc,
