cheers kev I will be back playing cash soon . well not much pokerwise I have played 18 mtts and 38 sats(35 I think allin sats without winning a seat) from the 1st-6th june. I had a few deep runs in some mtt`s but just got to that stage I coudn`t hold or win a flip at the crucial stages which left me crippled and could not get back into it, but heres my results this week. Week`s Results Played=56(inc sats) mtts=+£67.98 sats=- £117.00 overall=- £49.02 Points total=311 Will be back grinding my usual cash games this weekend was good having a little break from cash but tbh I missed playing. Mtts can be good fun but they really stress me out don`t know if that`s the same for others but I guess we prefer and are better at different formats of the game. Life away from poker not much tbf just been spending time with family and friends,the wane was no well for last couple of days so since the mrs been working this week to get weekend off me and liam been playin our computer games and watching load films and eating load of rubbish, hopefully he be better soon cause weather been lovely and want go to park touch up on his footy skills plus he`s driving me mental . I also finish up college next week suppose to be wednesday but I just need hand in some documents from my work experience and that should be me. I really did let poker get in the way this year from family,friends and college so that defo one the reasons I set targets at start this diary was to get right balance cause poker been good to me over the years but they are more important things in life that I will be putting 1st from now on. sorry ranting on gl at tables folks playing this weekend Posted by liamboi11
I am the exact opposite...........cash stresses me out and miss mtt's!!! Enjoying your diary though and you couldn't be more right, there is def more to life than poker

i have a simular level of stress myself with MTTs and think that what causes us cash players to get so stressed is we don't have the dominant deep stack we have in cash, so when all these short stacks are going all in the chips we loose in the cash games will be nothing more that a loosing hand whereas the loss of them chips in an MTT makes us get less dominant.
Craig- Nah it`s not just the deeper stack thing I do prefer deeper stacks but it`s the well imo the unavoidable 50/50,60/40s etc u gotta run well and play well to go deep/win mtt`s.
A lot of time recently If get to later stages I just don`t seem to be winning my fair share these spots but tbh I don`t play a great deal of mtt`s think played like 2.5k mtts since 2007 and I bet about 800 them are allin sats so think I need to increase my volume and then I may get my fair of winning a flip at crucial stage and get me in good shape for a big bink.
Just a wee update hows things are going I still ain`t played a great deal of cash so far think I`ve played like 5-6 hours and the rest month months played a total of 27 mtts which isn`t a lot either but i`m looking to up my volume this week

Last night made a few deep runs in mtts(1st-£200turbo, 2nd-£200Gtd, 15th-£2kbounty) also got couple bounties in the £3k bounty which I got in from a £3 allin sat so made nice little profit there too. The month so far is going well even though not played a great deal still in profit and got an ipad air on the way from the prio gadget freeroll last week .
Hey guys no posted in a wee while, just been enjoying the time off as I have finished college and be spending more of my time doing a mix of spending time with friends and family/watching world cup and grinding cash.
I will also be attempting try improve my fitness in the coming weeks I really have got lazy in the last 12-18 months and lead me to put on the beef which I ain`t happy about . I used to play football 2-3 times a week and go to gym regularly but now I have lost my motivation but i`m determined to get back playing and be more fit overall.
Poker as been goin well so far in profit for the month for cash and slightly in profit with mtt`s but I have won 2 prizes from freerolls(ipad air+Table football) value them together are around £480 and I would strongly advise people play these world cup freerolls at 7pm every night they are very fast paced but a little bit of run good and u make the final table they are a lot of great prizes imo to be won.

This month I`m around +£600ish but currently down on cash not a lot but as said earlier no put in a great deal of volume so confident turn that round.
The good news this month sky put up a few great promos for priority this month and one was a world cup freeroll with £2k prizepool and 1st place gets a place on team sky poker +£1k ukpc seat and £740. There was only 59 runners in total and we played down to final 4 players then the final 4 had to play a semi final hu match and then hu final I ran really well in the whole mtt and hu matches so was lucky enough to win overall so I will be in nottingham next month .
Will keep yous up to date how next month goes wish me luck.
