Poker diary...................Habbin a little luck

Well having played poker on sky for about 5 years or so i thought now would be a good time to start a diary. Why? well to be honest the last few months have been a bit of a nightmare!! So i figured this may well help me to beat this downswing.
BACKGROUND.
I started out with DYMS then moved onto cash starting out at 4nl and progressing to and settling at 20nl.
Over the years i have made a tidy profit but over the last couple of months ive been struggling particularly with cash. So ive decided to go back to basics and play a few dyms and grind some 10nl cash whilst brushing up on poker strategy and working on my game.
INTERESTS
Im going to add some other interest to my diary to hopefully make it a bit more interesting!!!!
Aside from poker im a big football fan, i support cambridge united.................Well its been a tough few years but we are starting to turn the corner at last and hopefully this year we will finally gain promotion. Winning the FA trophy on sunday was a nice bonus.
Im also a keen match angler and frequent the gym etc
THIS MONTH
This month has been tough. I decided to move the majority of my BR to another site to take advantage of a sign up bonus but i have run soooo badly. So im going to be back on here for the time being to get some confidence back.
Having played 10nl for the last few nights i have noticed that its incredibly soft!!!! Lots of weak players and plenty of spots to make money. Hopefully when my cards finally hold i'll make a few quid. Im going to be putting in around 5-8 hours a day for the time being due to my personal circumstances recently changing.
Well back to the grind feel free to comment.

I wouldn't agree that it's standard to open with a minimum raise on a cash table - that's not the norm at all. 3x is certainly more likely.
Gl with the diary, nice title:)
Don't think a min raise on the button is standard, certainly not on sky.
You are just pricing in the blinds.
Great read........apart from the highlighted section. As a Grimsby fan I can safely say that you will not be getting promotion this year. We let you beat us in the FA trophy semi because we got to the final last year and felt it was fair for somebody else to get there this season. Besides, we are saving ourselves for the play offs!
i'm not a 6max player, but minraising forces the blinds to play more hands out of position, but you get fewer folds.
3xing means the blinds can fold more hands profitably, so you get fewer weak hands into your IP pots. you do get more folds and play bigger pots with your big hands, however. but it is more exploitable by light 3betting. you may have to tighten your own range against smart aggressive players.
You should be opening a TON from the BTN so if you have good aggro players in the blinds you'll get battered. Thats why on some tables I'll 3x my BTN but on others I'll minraise (dependent on who is in my blinds). It's not an issue changing your raise size for these reasons cos on both tables you'll still be doing whatever size you choose with 100% of your range, no-one can do anything to exploit it.
You'll find a lot of good players do it.
was beck the nutcase who used to chuck cold water on the players and watered down the corners of the home pitch so the ball would stop for the wingers? whatever he produced a really effective side, riddled with talent too.
it only works when using IE as far as I'm aware
