Great new thread Tikay. Well tonight is going to be first night on since Friday so I look forward to posting here tomorrow on my mission to rebuild my bankroll after an 'accident' on Saturday night. Long story short, Saturday went football, pub, beer, shots, jager-bombs, takeaway, home, laptop, SkyVegas, blackjack, idiocy, pass-out, wake up, hang over, cold realisation, vomit. The sooner Sky get the self exclusions I ask about every three months or I fit my laptop with a breathalyzer the better. Posted by TommyD
Wondered where you had been! You've been much missed on the Omaha tables. Calling with 2 high flushes & the like.
Pretty Bad to be honest, I turned up expecting to win a few games, after the first hour I had lost three games, second hour I managed to get two back but by the end of the night I was 6-2 down.
Who'd be a Darts Captain Eh! wish I'd stopped in and played poker instead.
for me tonight, well i won tko leg 3 wooooooooo, i played the 22 deepstack for the 2nd night and came 2nd, came 1st last night and 2nd tonight, was allin my a-q vs k-10, flop came something like 3-10-q he hit a 2nd 10 on the river, was very sick but still enjoyed it, only 15 runners, very very disappointing.
Was chip leader, just, when it was heads up, First hand I got heads up, A Q Suited, went all in, he called with K9 off suit and won it with a pair of kings. hung on for a few more hands then lost it with a pair of 2's
Nice return on the investment though, both in terms of Cash and Fun
Grrr. Last night mission 'rebuild' started with a small loss overall. Cashed in 4 of the 4 DYM's I entered but a couple of beats in the tourneys and a poor performance on the PLO tables saw that all eaten up. Let's try again
I was happy with how last night went, I didn't do to well in the Double Stack but entered the £1500 and came 9th, then was in the £1000 GTD and came 1st after a lengthy Heads up. Played a bit on the Omaha cash tables, made a loss of £6.31!! Overall, happy night but I don't think I will be entering the 8pm BH tonight, fancy a night off but may play some Omaha later on in the evening
I had an ejoyable evening last night. I cant keep a bankroll, im useless and find skybet to much of a lure so i just deposti now when i fancy a game and should I win anything I wtihdraw it.
I deposited £20 last night intending to play the double stack @ 8. Around 7 my fingers started twitching, I saw orfords post on the forum and decided to go play some cash. Thought id play for an hour hopfully have £11 left by the end of it to play the doubelstack.
First hand I get kq suited raise to a quid, Orford calls flop J** I bet 4 quid he goes all in, and thats a fiver gone first hand, not a good start when ive only got £20 to play with. Had better fortune after that andleft just before 8 with just over £33
Played the doublestack, was donig ok at first break i was 7th out of 200+ but didnt have an easy table was only 3rd in chips, I always seem to find this when im donig well in a tournament. I became card dead and 10 minutes before the 2nd break i lost my connection. Took around 9 minutes to get the table back up, at this point it was the last hand before the break and i was now down to 9 big blinds. Had AJ so went all in, got called by kings and that was the end of that finished 61st. i was dissapointed but happy enough with the way I played. I checked my hadn history after i was out and didnt really miss a hand during the boot.
I then played a £2 heads up mtt, that was fast and furious and id beaten 3 people in around 6 minutes but unfortunately once again didnt cash.
Was going to go bed then with the £20 i started with but decided to play a little omaha. I didnt expect to do very well playing against the likes of tikay mere and dylanto name a few but after an hour of playing turned £20 into £63 so was happy with that. Still got a lot to learn about omaha so my appologies if i called in situations i shouldnt have. I did get one wow after I called, it was only a small pot and I won it but dont think my opponent was very impressed!!
Gareth - VUL with the bet on Hull to beat Chelsea, but as a United fan, I guess ur pretty happy.
Anyway, last night!
Another day when I was milessss in front n blew the profits, need to stop doing this.
22 quid tourny at half 7, I made ft, then blew it as usual. I think ive cashed in all but 1 ive played, n the one I failed, had 18k at the first break n was out within half an hour I dont think anyone can help me with this prob, its not 1 thing or the other, I just start playing poorly! Only I can change that.
Anyway, as always I blew 8 hours profits in half an hour after midnight, to wake up just above even again, same old story. It feels like play money, I need to be more ruthless if I wana go far at this game. dohhhhhhhh

stop drinking when you play!! your such a durrr you just dont care about money lol.
anyway for me... eurgh bad day hit the nl8 cash tables throughout the day... big fail... i play so bad sometimes i dont know why, that river shove gets me everytime lol, im such a donk. To cool off i played 4 £5 dyms... cashed 1/4... jeeez... so bad day/night for moi
i bubbled in the 22 deepstack by which i decided to get some food, i came back and was going to watch a film but decided to play cash, i sat at a 50/1 table and a couple of 25/50
i managed to double up on the 25/50 on one of them i had 130 but i made a ridiculous call against a stack bigger than me and lost it, which i know i shouldnt have called but i was doing well on my other tables so i thought id gamble, so should have an extra 130 in my account. the 50/1 table couldnt have gone any better, i started with 100, went down to 80, so put another 20 in. i finished the night with £568+ on the table. i got a few hands but i felt i played very well, i lost a big pot with q-j to q-10 when i had over 600 but im happy enough with getting 5x what i started with.
i dont get chance to play the big bh on thursdays as i play live every thursday so gl to everyone in that.
Played my first sessions of cash omaha last night. Got felted four times. Still need to adjust to the hand ranges. Also, flatted with the nuts on the river a couple of times because I forgot that you have to use at least two cards from your starting hand. I see that Tikay is playing the omaha tables on Friday night. That's when I win it all back.
A most peculiar & somewhat embarrassing night for me.
I had Reg;'d for the £22 7.30 Deepie, fully intending to withdraw if it got decent numbers, as I had some other stuff to sort last night. Suddenly the Table "popped up", sigh, too late.
Early doors I took a raised hand pre-flop with 7c-8c, & flopped the U & D str8 draw and a gutterball str8 flush draw. I binked it on the Turn, & the River betting was com, as both of us Raised in increments, until there were nearly 12,000 chips in the middle. My man had the Nut Flush, ugh, what a horrible beat for him.
He was down to a few hundred, & moved in next hand, & got smoothed behind, I had 7-7 in the BB & made the obligatory Call. Shortie had Q-Q, Mr Smooth had A-A, & the flop came a binky 7 high. This was getting well embarrassing.....
I had to monitor the TP guys, so as Chip Daddy, I pretty much sat out the next few hours. When I "woke up" I found myself 8th of 8, short-stacked, with 6 paid. Honestly, I wish I were always short-stacked, it's where I play my best poker, & I never really doubted I'd money.
The Final began, & I was still short, whilst Dohx7 had a monster stack, though he lost a lump with some spanners that walked into K-K.
He was Button to my Big, & was "active" on my Big (quite correctly), & I determined that I'd have to push back quite soon if he kept it up.
He Raised my Big yet again, I had A-2 & snap-jammed, call THAT Mr Doh! It's an easy play for me, as he never has a hand, Uber-Lags never do.
The speed of his Call suggested I may have a problem, & I did - he had K-K! My A-2 was on pretty much a 3 outer. The 3-4-5 Flop changed all that. Ugh again......
3 handed, & Table Shortie (fancy that....) I decided to make my stand with 6-6 when I faced a Raise, & it all went in - perfect, he had the ideal hand, A-K. He improved immediately, & that was that.
My luck knows no bounds, & I was pretty embarrassed to cash, all things considered. Still, it cuts both ways.
I played the DS ME, too, but could never get anything going really. Sometimes it just goes that way.
I lost a big chunk with A-K, when I got looked up by Q-T. It came Q-J-X, & I fired, & got called. Rinse, repeat on the blank turn.
The River paired the Q, which is either an excellent card or a horror card. Like a numpty, I fired again, & of course he had the Q. What a terrible play I made there, what else CAN he have to Call me twice?
I iz a donkey, innit.
Later, some gentle Omaha with the Regs, Mere, Dylan, TommyD & Co. I adore that last hour of Omaha, we play 10p-20p, 25p-50p or 50p-100p, & it's all very amiable, & tremendous fun, it relaxes me, they don't fire non-stop questions at me, & it's incredibly enjoyable. I plateu'd for a good while, then found a nice 2xUp just before I drew stumps.
All good fun, & a small profit too, what more could I wish for?
Looking at the Thread title, it's possibly inviting trouble to Post here today........
But anyway.
Main Event. Don't ask. Half concentrating, & playing 2 Omaha Tourneys parallel, I Raised it up with A-J, (A-J!, don't tell Lisa-Donk), & got accommodated. I've been playing these type of Tourneys a LOT "faster" recently, & if I can get a stack early, they play OK. It came A-T-x, 2 diamonds, & I bet out, half my stack is now in the middle. But I got re-raised. I'm beating nothing really - a Flush Draw or A-9 down! - but for some reason, I jammed, hoping he was on the FD, & half-expected him to fold. He had Top Two, gg.
A shocking play by me, OK, it happens, nobody noticed. Until the Hand got shown on the Show. Groan.
I had no luck in the first Omaha Tourney I played - I think I bubbled or almost so - & in the next, the 8.15, I was down to 525 chips but got it back up to 7,000, abouit average, with 6 or 7 left, & was confident I'd cash. And then we all crashed, aarrgggh.
Hey-Ho.
The Site was back later, but I decided to swerve my usual late night Omaha Cash game session, as I'd probably get battered by questions from unhappy-bunny players.......
Sometimes you just have to seek shelter from the storm.
For me, last night was the worst night of poker I have so far experienced!! I ran KK into AA, ran QQ into KK and ran AA into AK (hearts) and lost to a flush, nothing went right, im not complaining about that BUT I have to admit that i did tilt slightly last night, I never really tilt and rise above most things but I did make a bad call last night when I called an All in with K2 when the board read K95 5 10 (rainbow), a terrible call but I truly believed I had the best hand and that it would be a split pot at worse, I had betted every street heavily and committed over 1000 chips and paid off the extra 2000 to the guy because I did not believe he had the straight but alas he had QJ - so much for my instinct!! Got a bit of abuse for my call, and it did tilt me, went on the Omaha table but kept losing, seemed a lot of the times I did have the best hand on the flop and was betting aggresivly but had the worst of it by the river!! Never feel down ever about poker, a loss is a loss and you need to just keep grinding away but for some reason I lost some confidence last night, I play with instinct and it seems that just one hand has question my game a little - I need to hit the tables hard tonight I think and try to get my confidence back before Monday!! Sorry for the rant.

Hi Dylan,
I guessed you were having a rough time last night, when we briefly shared Tables, you seemed a bit down, but some nights it just goes like that.
But with next week's TP looming large, which is so important, I'm not sure "hitting the Tables hard" tonight is the best way forward - you can't "force" poker.
Chill for a night, play a few levels below normal, and relax, You need to be mentally "right" come Monday, & a soft weekend will do you no harm at all. Form is temporary, class is not, & you'll be just fine next week.

PS - See you Saturday.
I bet someone a quid I could tease you onto the Forum. And here you are....
Welcome aboard, & I'll see you on the Omaha Tables later.
