good luck with the diary and poker m8 you'll need more luck to get out of the Conference. If you maange to stay in the play-offs hopefully you get out first time. other wise it is very tough. Being a (long suffering) Wrexham supporter I know only too well ))) We've had a big hangover from last year I think. Actually probably from the last few years.
Good luck with the match this week - Barnet could be tricky. Grimsby have Hereford and hopefully they will win. I am getting nervous - we're only 11 points off relegation!
I felt the best way to get value from my hand short handed was to call rather than 3bet a tight reg who I think will fold 95% of his range pre. The plan post flop was to check call all 3 streets for value. Did I murder this hand? .
After a slow start i managed to win a couple of BI's today. Again i played 3 sessions, a small win in the first, completely card dead and a BI down in the second and a much better third session. A question for any grinders who read this diary. How do you plan your day? Do you play multiple sessions or one long session? Also what times of day etc?
Not going to get much time to play tomorrow with football and fishing prep to do but hopefully i'll find a few hours in the evening.

Yeah we know all about losing in play-off finals mate, we lost in consecutive years 2008 and 2009. So its been a long time coming!!!
'09 really crippled the club and we are only now just getting over it. I heard you were paying some crazy wages a bit like we were then. £1500-2000 a week is rediculous for a div 5 player but that was rumoured to be the wage of a few of our key players.
Good read and good luck with your games. I imagine we'll see each other at the tables a fair amount as I try to refocus back to playing NL10.
The NL8/NL10 games have definitely seen an influx of new names that seem to be looser and adding a bit of action to this level, not sure what's caused that and it only seems to be the last couple of weeks but I hope it lasts!
Re: the hand you posted, what sort of range do you put the villain on... you say he's tight and will fold a 3-bet which maybe suggests he's not the sort to be bluffing every street?
Not that I'd probably do much different here, unless 3-betting, but doesn't feel like there are many TAG value hands you're beating on turn and river?

Did you go to the FA trophy final last year? You deserved it tbf, we scored against the run of play then just sat back and let you back in the game. Best team won. We then bottled it the play offs against Newport.........def going up this season though!! Mariners!!!!!

Unfortunately not, my son had a rugby tournament that day an hour or so away. I'm assistant coach. we won more than lost so proud dad. tried to follow it on my phone. gutted not to go even though lost, would have been a good day out despite the result Mariners have a few games in hand so hopefully you keep in the play offs Good luck though
Habbin great read hope both you and Cambridge succeed , as an ardent Peterborough utd supporter of 40+ years will be great to play you in the derbies which have definitely been missed
You may know me from meeting at the tables? Would like to know your views on me (maybe a PM? And I would recipricate. All for improvement on both fronts).
Firstly, hand above. Not the worst thing to do and villian dependant obviously but I think I sigh fold river. I think after raising pre and barreling all three streets, and with the bet sizing, I think we are behind more often than not.
Second, as for planning cash sessions, I think its important to play when you feel relaxed and ready. As soon as you become distracted by anything then you need to stand and do something else. Even if its just reassing your session so far. For example you are ahead for the session and start to find yourself playing differently to preserve your lead because you know your coming off soon or vice versa, your behind and start playing more reclessly trying to recover or just on pure tilt.
Ive done both and have gotten a lot better at just leaving when I know I'm not playing properly. Just tonight I was up on a lot of tables and I knew I was coming off in about half an hour but as soon as I realised I had just noticed this (sometimes your in the zone and just playing not really thinking of buyins and time) I just thought I need to quit now and not risk playing differently.

Hi shakinaces,
Thanks for your input.As we were 3 handed I felt he hand a lot of worse aces in his range that i wanted to keep in the hand, hence the call pre. By the river yeah i think im behind more often than not but i couldnt find the fold!! In hindsight im not beating much by the river but having said that it depends on his perception of me. I'm one of the looser players at 10nl so maybe he still bets a worse ace for value? not sure

Hi posh,
Thanks I cant wait for us to get back in to the league and hopefully it will be in may. Im really looking forward to the future cambridgeshire derbies but i fear that it will be a few years yet. In recent years we've had rivalries with stevenage, luton and histon to some extent but its not the same.

Good luck, and you are a mare to play against! Posted by CraigSG1
Hi Craig thanks for posting. Yeah im sure we've meet a few times at the tables and you are definitely one of the better players. I'll be playing 10nl on here for at least another week all being well then hopefully back to 20nl if ive grown my bankroll enough.
I haven't really got too many notes on you yet but by the end of the week i should have you sussed out!!!! An exchange of pm's then would be cool.
Well after a frustrating time at the football ( we drew 1-1 and Barnet looked fairly decent) i managed a 2 1/2 hour session. Things went ok and i had a few interesting hands that i will post tomorrow.
There seems to be plenty of value at 10nl with the odd decent reg mixed in. It would be interesting to know how much said regs make if any of them would care to enlighten me that would be cool. Not really sure what kind of win rate is achievable yet so it would be good to get some idea. I do understand if people want to keep this info to themselves though.
Good luck with this, and good luck in the playoffs. As i support Leamington, have had decent interest in our local rivals Nuneatons attempt this season. Not sure how they have done so well - they are rubbish.
well time for an update. Things have gone seriously downhill!!!!! I didnt have time to play sunday due to life things. Fishing didnt go too well, came 5th. Then had to go and see me old mum and give her a card etc so i didnt play until monday.
Monday was a complete nightmare. So many outdraws and bad beats it was unbelievable. It was doublely disappointing because the games were super soft but i just couldnt get my hands to hold. Having looked back through hand histories i think i really have to work on what ranges i put my opponents on. The lucky limpers were out in force but i was failing to put them on the appropriate ranges but i feel now i am better placed to do so.
Tuesday was similar but i had a few coolers QQ VS KK AK VS QQ AK VS AA. I played two sesions and in the second i was starting to grind some decent stacks until i got AA and KK bust in big pots at the end of the session to post another loss.
So over the course of two days i have lost just over 12.5 BI's, some of which could have been avoided but also a lot of run bad. Hopefully today will but much better and i will get back to winning ways.
On a brighter note cambridge won away at Macclesfield last night so the playoff spot is now almost locked up.
I'm with you m8 in having a nightmare poker - lost all of my March profit in one horrible session. should have finished early to limit losses. usually can do it but not this time. never mind will get it back next time (hopefully)
Wrexham also lost against those pesky Mariners! At least Luton managed to turn around a losing position against Dartford and also Southport lost. Wrexham in freefall at moment. not liking it one bit. Macclesfield next - gulp!
Well done to Cambridge. you haven't lost in about what 6 games now? Southport next. Please beat them!!
Well last night was another losing night. Pretty much the same as the last few days really. My premium hands are struggling to hold and any other value hand seems to miss the flop by miles.
To be honest its been hard to stick with it but im definitely not going to give up just yet!!! Last night was the first time ive ever been totally disillusioned with the game and I could almost see why some people like to bemoan their luck in the chatbox. That was almost me until I snapped myself out of it.
It amazes me how many players call with junk oop and then go on to chase draws. Sadly for me they are making hands at the moment by the turn or river but in the long term this is going to be very good for me. I still feel that there is massive value in these games and im going to stay positive.
