^^^^ Ignore the above, I've found the 4 names, & it looks to me that none of them had previously qualified. I'm not 100% certain on that, & will try & find out for you later. Posted by Tikay10
Thanks for the help Tikay, Like I said I was not expectant
Just railed the HU PLO match with JH. You sure weren't fibbing about the BRM!!!! Epic stuff. Posted by SJspanky1
Yeah my BR management is horrendous but £1.50 / £3 PLO is great fun.... I will be playing him tonight I played pretty bad but I am actually suprised at how many leaks I judged him to have which was strange.
If i lose £1000 then I lose £1000 I am confident I can grind it back in a a fortnight or close to a fortnight.
Im not going to lie it is not fun grinding to get back big losses but it is always manageable.
UL m8, that must have stung a bit. Anyway, hope you still qualify via the Satellites, or another Promo, be great to see you there, was looking forward to meeting you. Posted by Tikay10
Same goes! Although we did briefly meet at the £500 buyin UKOPS
Okay so it has took me a few days to post this as I needed a break....
Highs and LOWS.
I have been using my incredible ability recently, something I have had from day 1 and something I fear I will never lose.
This ability is the incredible ability to self destruct!
After bubbling the Priority UKOPS SAT I was fuming with myself as it is something I desperately want to attend!
My solution Play as much as I can between the stakes of 200NL to 1000NL of course I was playing awful and the losses racked up and my play got worse and the losses got bigger. Inside me I have this demon that makes me self destruct.
Isnt it funny? How wewant to take shots when playing bad and losing but when we are winning and playing well we are happy to float along at the same stakes.
Anyway the net result is not only did I bubble a UKOPS seat but then I have continued and spewed another UKOPS seat + extra playing higher than I should be.
Fast forward 3 days and I am focused and ready to go again. the reality is without a MTT bink it is going to take a month or more to grind back what I have lost.... but dont to the crime if you cant do the time!
Reloading to £400 that I have withdrew from my BR on another site and we will start again.
Please do not do as I do.... to some this will sound cool I assure you it is not it is reckless and stupid.
There aren't many of us who haven't spewed off a BR or 2 on monkey tilt. I knew this was gonna be one of the more entertaining diaries. Post some hands for entertainment value please.

That is so true.
All the best to you in rebuilding, you are a good player and will get there soon enough.
It's a funny old game and amazing how quickly things can change. Good luck finding that bink!

The psychology of this - which I insta recognize - is so, so fascinating to me. What a thing the human mind is.
PS - It's UKPC not UKOPS. UKPC end of February, then next up, UKOPS, & some other stuff.
Just railed you at PLO200 HU again. In all seriousness and joking aside, please stop. I'm starting to worry you may have a problem. Posted by SJspanky1
You Have nothing to worry about lol.... I would never put my self in any financial risk. The money I play with comes from poker not my bank.

I intend to look into other flaws I have as a human and rectify them over the year.... In all honesty I will probably end up forgetting and reverting to type.
Yes sorry the UKPC.... still intent to get there though not sure my head is in the right place at present. Half term next week for schools so I can have a solid full week of grinding towards a UKPC seat

Thanks much appreciated Larson!
So with a new found focus I decide to finally go back to the grind last night.... I lose my first HU hyper and and DYM and go straight to the 200PLO tables....
When will I learn!
Forunately I won around 200 there but this is completely besides the point.
FOr some reason I can not get my head right with poker at the minute, little things that would not usually bother me are sending me off the rails. I used to have the ability to go through horrific downswings without tilting but from the moment I have hit 30 it has been the opposite.
Going to try and get myself in a good place (Focus wise tonight) and set myself a target to put x amount of volume in.
so we are well on the way to recovery with a +£648 day today playing pretty much 50NL HU all day. I took on regs and recs and I am one of the few who wont turn down action at that limit.... I cant lie it really aggrevates me when I sit down with regs and they insta sit out.
Shout out to sky for a great freeroll came 8th in the 5k for a extra £100 a moment ago. I had no idea I was registered so pushed pushed pushed whilst eating a dominos... When I luckboxed to 20k stack I thought I may aswell put in the effort.
For now I am going to watch a film and chill for a while.... I think Martian is tonights choice!
I love my films so if anyone has any suggestions that I can find on sky netflix or lovefilm plese let me know. Also watched district 9 last night, Sci fi's are not usually my thing but it was suprisingly excellent!
love your diary i think most people on the site could identify with your thoughts and feelings at one time or another hope your comeback is spectacular as for films try citizen x its a few years old but very good

Haha glad your enjoying it. poker is not a smooth ride and my game is probably swingier than most as I am not what you would call tight.... unless i need to adjust to that style.
Will give that film a watch alongside bridge of spies.... I will give them an official deuce to ace rating
Yeah i also love the diary you tell it how it is and even with results which most people hide away from that people are happy to tell you when there winning but wont post the bad days.
