In Response to Re: diary of an improving player. couple of 6MAX Q's and hands : I do agree, my head was saying fold, but just had a feeling I wouldn't be far behind if I was at all. Posted by Chris_Mc
I don't think you will be ahead very often here. After he raises he will never fold. Hoping for a flip at best i think. Fold the KJ os and save 14 bigs, if it was a BH then maybe its justifyable, but in a normal tournament no, especially a STT. Obviously as played its unlucky but his play was worse than yours 100%.
a cash today in the £300 BH put my BR up a little, and playing the mega as I type this,
have too have a break though from the poker I think with my circumstances with the house,
With my two months notice, I have reduced too 10 days, for the simple reason I do not want too pay anymore than I have too, when I can shorten those two months and get out before the end of the month.
so going too be quite the busy body for the next 10 days, packing, sorting storage, gas, electricity, switching sky, picking up new car, council tax, getting rid of the old stuff we don't need. making sure the house is squared for takeover and so on...
where too next, well never thought this would ever happen, but back too mums ... left for the ARMY at 17 and never thought id be back too stay there. we decided why rent when we could have our own home a lot sooner with putting current outgoings into a savings account instead, so once sorted comp will be set up there and get back too raising this roll.
a bit of a slagging I received for calling this off, ok I know I prob shouldn't have, but just again had a read that if I hit one of my outs here would be nice for my stack plus still had plenty left. been running quite well tonight aswell,

just feel u have too go with your gut sometimes and click.
Haha, yeah limping in out of that stack (or any stack!) with Q5 is pretty poor. Your raise pre is kinda pointless. If were gonna raise then it should be more IMO, or just tap the table. C-bet our draw, all good. When he overbet jams the turn, we really don't have the odds to call. We could already be drawing dead.
Just not a great spot, will bleed chips long term.
Tired this morning. If keep tippin up too work like this they might let me go
Would have too change the name of the diary too 'improving too pro' win some mains and mini's get some jackpots.....
See dreaming allready...
Well enjoyed last night so worth the tired spell today, couple of hands too talk about later. See what I get back from them... probbaly ooooooo I wouldntve done that
So teaching in the classroom today. About licences and changes too the rules and regulations for vocational drivers. Anyone need help I can analyse the **** out a licence but not my own poker.
Got a bit of stick for this last night, again, seem too have had that a lot yesterday, I fact it was the same player that dug me for my call in the hand shown earlier, I later on took his tournament life, when I was behind, I got a bit lucky, it was 3 handed aswell so I saw my hand too be reasonably strong.
Nice results last night btw. Keep it up.......and don't get fired at work!! The late nights playing mtt's in the week are one of the reasons I'm giving cash another go, I was always tired at work too!
Yeah a shove pre ain't a bad move, depending on table dynamics and what not.
Probs just call the flop bet and call any bet/all in on the turn. Shoving the flop will fold out so many hands villain has c-bet with. Board is super dry too so we don't need to protect vs anything and we can't really make our shove look like a draw.
So enjoy the live shows and always like joining the mastercash when its on, just one table of 20nl, my BR isn't big enough for anything else in fact I should only be 4nl, but like too try and get on the TV.
Waiting too see what table ricorford was going too and relise hesits at 100nl with £50, so I ponder a little, ive noticed him there through player search and no one else is there, just checking what I could sit with..... I decide im going in with £25...
Then it gets mentioned on the TV where he is so acting fast I hit the sit button and sure enough the table is full in seconds.... looking at my £25 and the other players at the table im instantly nervous and reload an extra £10 on top. leaving my BR at £60 with no intention of using anymore.
Its my last night playing for a while so thought id enjoy it, nerves going everyone being friendly in the chat, and my aim is too just play ABC, solid poker no sticky spots, raise in position and 10 15 mins in im getting a lot more comfortable, turning my 35 into 45 and being very happy with that.
still no TV time though well hands anyway, but wasn't involved in mush until the end of the show 2 hands in particular come at once.....

In Response to Re: diary of an improving player......£100NL with RicOrford on MASTERCASH!! : OI! are you referring to moi? ;-) I do hope so as I have a certain reputation to uphold... Posted by Glenelg
Tired this morning again, off on Monday though, not had a day off now for about 4-5 weeks not sure exactly when my last day off was, job is Monday too Friday but plenty of weekend work just now with driver CPC and we also have too assess all the commonwealth drivers for the games this year.
Subject im teaching today. Fire fighting and first aid, one of the more enjoyable subjects I like too teach. As we can normally get a bit of a laugh practicing CPR too the tunes of stayin alive, nellie the elephant, a crackin live version of another one bites the dust and of course pokerface....
As I said last night will be on the forum but chances if getting any games in will be slim I think. Miby get on sunday if there's any mastercash action.

still think the other guys play was slightly worse than mine right enough.

BR £107.69
Got a bit of stick for this last night, again, seem too have had that a lot yesterday, I fact it was the same player that dug me for my call in the hand shown earlier, I later on took his tournament life, when I was behind, I got a bit lucky, it was 3 handed aswell so I saw my hand too be reasonably strong.
any advice???
right or wrong here, glad it wasn't a £5.50 one so wont count too the challenge if I do it.
Nice results last night btw. Keep it up.......and don't get fired at work!! The late nights playing mtt's in the week are one of the reasons I'm giving cash another go, I was always tired at work too!

I'd have sat down if I'd been in and knew a certain someone was in the game. And I don't mean yourself or Orford
