Haven't played any cash yet as I have been watching the sport all day. Derby were robbed, have to say!
I did play a £300 BH on the side whilst watching and I managed to take it down for my 2nd win in a week waller022620001£90.06 + £38.32 Head Prizes5£11.44 Doubt I will be playing cash tonight now as I'm watching the footy and having a drink. I don't mind playing mtt's whilst having a drink because I am comfortable playing them. I think playing cash under the influence is a recipe for disaster!!!
Gonna have a couple of all in sats for the Primo then call it a night I think
Played the late £1k BH after watching a film tonight and finished 2nd........so close to winning 2 mtt's on the trot which is something I have never done before. Went into HU with 50k.........oppo had over 500k so wasn't looking good but I pulled it back and had him covered when the chips went in 44 v A3......he hit the ace! All that for nothing lol
Still a decent return for a 5.75 BI
waller0202£111.65 + £30.43 Head Prizes7 Not sure if I'm playing tomorrow, but if I do it will be on the cash tables.
Just seen I'm now up to 17th in the Best of the Best Promo and I still think there will be last nights 2nd place mtt finish to be added onto that as it finished after midnight.

Played 90 mins of cash just not on 3 tables. Got off to a good start but ended up -£2.42 for the session. I'll take that though because I did stack off getting it in pre AK and running into KK........still not sure if its good to be getting 100bb in pre with AK in the long run???? Anyone??
All other hands were pretty standard stuff. There was one hand I did play bad against the table fish, I semi bluff raised with a flush draw on a A5Q board.....the guy calls with KT, the turn brings his straight and he sticks in his last 2 quid, still had the flush draw for the river so couldn't fold for an extra 2 quid??? Anyway I missed!!
Quite pleased with how I played overall, no MAJOR mistakes although it wasn't a winning session. But like is I said, it would have been if it wasn't for that AK so would like ppls thoughts on it please.
Session Profit: -£2.42 Total : -£61.43.........still 4bi's to go before I quit!!
Going to play mini roller and try 2 more all in sats for the main (just bubbled one for £19 which was frustrating!)
Just won the 3k BH............2nd win in a week. Biggest win for so so long, over the moooooooon! Does make me wonder why I try to beat cash, but still gonna try! waller02 758000 1 £478.49 + £139.61 Head Prizes 12 £38.64 Ty to my TPT teammates Misty, Matt and Dale for the rail Posted by waller02

Cheers, I can't make the transition either. I can't string a couple of winning sessions together, not sure if I ever will. Just ironic that ever since I started this diary I have had my best mtt run for months!

Hi Waller - I think this is where the notes come in handy so that you have an idea of how light they'll get it in pre. There are lots that I'm yet to see have anything other than KK/AA at the NL8/NL10 level, where AK would be a sigh fold if I 3b and face a 4b.
Against unknowns I'll normally err on the side of caution and credit them with KK/AA unless it's a weird play (ie 3b shove my open).
I get the impression that at higher levels it's more of a no-brainer against most oppo, but player ranges are a lot different at that level.
Good luck with the cash, although a little unsure why you want to take time away from tournament play which you are obviously talented at and playing profitably!!
Here is the leaderboard. 4 days to go........do I play more and risk a drop in ROI or do stick and wait. I think I am going to stick where I am and if it gets beat then so be it! I'm sure there are a few people who haven't entered the code yet too!

looks a good score TBH mate. If it was me I would stick and hope it holds......but like my poker, it will prob be beat by the river and I would end up bubbling!
If you want to carry on playing for the rest of the month....try some sats into the main/bigger games (not too many all in sats though, lol!) as they dont count to your ave ROI if you get in via the sat route.
I do hope you get a seat.....you must owe me a pint or three

Hold that thought......I'm in a bit of a pickle!!! Check out my Best of the best promo FAO Sky thread, do you or any others have any advice????
So, I haven't posted on here for a while. That's because I haven't played any cash and haven't really played much at all.
What I have been doing is nervously checking the Best of the Best leaderboard everyday to see if I could hold on to that top 10 spot.........and I did! Absolutely thrilled!!! I had my luckiest month mtt wise for months and it could not have come at a better time. A £1k seat plus £500........for free!!!!
This will also be my first ever live tournament so I am going to have to try a play a small stakes live mtt beforehand so I'm not totally clueless. Just got to bring the date of my holiday forward too, which shouldn't be a problem.
Seriously cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not playing on here for the next couple of nights as I am busy, but I will be back on the cash tables soon so will have an update then.
Just played my first cash session for over a week. It will also be my last. Lost 2BI........just can't get to grips with it so I'm gonna stick to mtts.
It would take some serious work for me to improve and I just don't have the time right now, or the the patience. Thanks to everyone who gave advice on hands etc...
