A bit tipsy, I fired up a cash table about 10.30pm last night! Lost some pounds, topped up, lost some more. A short while later, rivered two pairs and was convinced oppo had a big overpair so shoved on him, he had air and only rivered a backdoor flush! So well done to him and - £96.30 to me ouch!
Played a little more cash this morning for + £28.08 and a £5.75 Speed BH. Got myself a straight flush and a couple of HPs but didn't cash in the end - £1.53
This avo I played two £22 BHs. Came 2nd and 1st!! So all totted up a big + £246.25 Really pleased with my play this week in every respect, it's nice to be winning again...obviously it's nothing to do with all the AAs I've been dealt!
Don't know if I've ever won a tourney with AA before ~ ALSO - Extremely smug to have knocked out chicknMelt hehee BR £415.70
Dropped another - £95.00 on cash last night tskkkkk. Note to self don't play tipsy and in I'm untouchable mode!! Also just played 2 Speed BHs and lost both - £11.50 Week 2
Ok, the second week is over! Had just 1 attempt at the DYM spin-up. Bad duck! Lost at level 6 so- £0.80 Went off challenge for most of the week playing lots of cash and a few MTTs, played really really well, very pleased with my performances, especially my 1st place in the £22 BH! and gained an impressive + £266.11 to my BR. Having a mini break with MrDuck from today, two nights away and back to work tuesday night. So I'll be back to the poker on weds.
Spin-up this week? Really want to crack Level 7!

Sky Poker Player Shouts Fix in Busto After Withdrawing Scandal "It ALWAYS happens to me, 85% of the time, when I'm a 99% favourite!!" she was heard muttering after storming out!
Just kidding! But yeh, I've busted myself...doh! So many "players" can be found on the forum claiming Sky punished them/turned on the runner runner 2 outer button/pi**ed all over them when they had finally made that elusive holy grail withdrawl! I've been pondering about why I reckon that's just happened to me, and happened to me before (an almost immediate bust after a smug withdrawl) These are my thoughts...
I've just won an MTT/a load on cash, I'm untouchable, WEEEEE...cue positive tilt, then shortly after realising I'm not a God, which turns to negative tilt...NOOOO why aren't I winning anymooore?!? Bankroll psychology/idiocy...My balance looked nice when I had £400 now it says £200 let's try and get it back up ASAP!! Forgetting I still actually have £400, just that half of it is now nice and safe in my bank account! Not caring/focusing...WOW this month I've already spun up quite alot, everyone seems really impressed, me too, I'm pretty fly right now, so what does it matter if I drop a few bob?!?
I'm definitely guilty of all of these thoughts and behaviours and probably more that I haven't considered yet! So here's where I lost it if you're interested ~
a £22.00 BH where I bubbled but won £9.38 HPs so - £12.62 a - £5.75 BH, - £3.30 TIMED TOURNEY, - £11.00 BH
Spin-Up Go No. 8 Lost level 1!! - £0.60 I then accidently regged a £0.30 DYM and GaryLaud knocked me out!! wd Gary! he killed me with my fav hand 22 aswell, good old ducks! - £0.30
I then splaffed the rest ~ - £40ish off playing cash...oh well.
So here I am busto but with a Sep profit of + £190 I'm going to re-deposit £40 and start again fresh...let's gooooo!
Sept profit of +£190 & busto lol i've a Sept profit of £36 & not gone busto lol i'd do a swap with you Mrs D ha ha. you play a very aggressive strategy which pays very well when you win, which is great. i play very conservatively in comparison, & am no shaker or mover. i would love to play as you do ha ha, but it would just be to 'swingy' for me as long as you win more than you lose & are having fun, which I know you do, then there's no need to change & do anything different. Long may it continue my friend. run golden, dev Posted by devonfish5
Lol Dev, I don't know if my strategy is aggressive, it's more that I'm more comfortable playing an £11 or £22 BH or 50NL cash, rather than other stakes, no matter what my BR is, but I'm not comfortable playing a huge BR because I would be likely to spew it away. Before I started this diary I was a player who just deposited, played, withdrew and repeat but I wanted to change that and ideally I'd like to maintain a "small" bankroll between £400-£800 and play whatever I like ~ infact I think this will be my next challenge from October, spinning up and maintaining that, applying more BR management with it, what do you think? I will be coming to you for advice!!
i think you are doing fine as you are Mrs D, you don't need any advice from me
ok, i'll give you this, ... play out Sept, see how that flies with you.
October... with whatever is in your b/r try & spin that up to £800 as a figure you mention.. or whatever you like,
(mind you, £1000 would look very nice too -:)
then that is your bankroll which is ideal for you.
play your desired games,(even higher if you like), anything you win over your bankroll ...withdraw (in sums of £50, £100 whatever you want/win.
give yourself the £300 to play with, so you are happy (ok, not happy, but the set amount you are prepared to gamble down to)...so you can drop to £500... or £400 if you prefer.
at this point we drop down our buy-in levels from £11 to £5.50, & our cash games from nl50 to nl30.
this will guard against you going 'busto' which we want to avoid, obviously....AT ALL COST.
you know poker runs in up's & downs, so this will be a great 'safety net' for you...if needed, of course.
