even if people dont post they will read, it is an interesting thread, my advice would be.. dont fear any player no matter how good they are, I realy believe the game is more simple than most poker players would think.
avoid being put to the test on hands, if you believe you have best get the money in first, if you lose the hand you gave yourself the maximum chance of winning it.
I have played on this site since day 1, I play mostly ABC poker, You can have a horrid bad run for two weeks with many trips getting cracked but it always changes.

Firstly, thanks for all the messages of support, really appreciated. Played a quick 1hour session before tea, spag bol for those who are interested. PLayed one really strange hand against an unknown, see below. Looking back probably a bad call by me as what could the villain reallistically have that one pair was beating. The lure of AA was too strong and I got lucky.

Also had a problem with a hand that ended up costing me £7. I basically raised with J,K suited, got re-raised and I would probably have folded. I am playing 3 tables with them cascaded and as I was just preselecting fold on one table this table popped up and I pressed raise by mistake. He shoved all in and I had to fold. Has anyone else suffered this when multi tabling and what is the answer. I prefer to cascade my tables as I find that tiling them makes them too small. Will be playing again in a bit after my spag bol.
Played for about an hour and lost my money on the following hand. Payray had been playing very erratic and appeared to be tilting a bit, he had been all in a few times in the last few hands. I was half expecting him to push. When he pushed he was on a very wide range, when Dollie called I knew he knew that Payray was playing a wide range and this then opened up Dollie's range. These 2 factors made me call as I believed I was getting value over their ranges.

How wrong could I be, LOL. Looking back I was always going to be up against over cards but still not sure whether call was right in the situation. Off to work in a min, will probably play the 8pm MTT tomorrow as night off.
As I said in the chat box when we played earlier, this is a great thread. I am not sure that I expected to feature on it though. I think in that particular hand you were ul. Yes we both had the same read on the other player, but had you had the JJ and me the 10 10 you would have been patting yourself on the back. When I saw the cards from the 3 hands I thought I was likely to lose as I had to avoid the 8 outs you had between you, so I felt that I was the underdog even though I was ahead going in. I was fortunate to hit the Jack as our opponent did hit a King. Good to see you in profit overall and I look forward to crossing your path again. I think we have been on same table a couple of times in the last week. You have a solid game (not that I am a very good judge - lol). Good luck

u say at the end, "iwas always against over cards - even if it did widen their range, it was going to be 2 over cards at least (one each), which makes it a flip - should u really be calling off £18 (u reraised but no one was folding) with tens / and the flip? so far 100 quid up this seems a waste of 18 of it patience is a virtue.
Played 5 MTT's tonight. £5k Open finished 177/288 £750 Guaranteed 38/85 £500 Guaranteed Velocity 8/63 won £34.25 £1500 BH 140/211 £2K TSP 59/255
Lesson learnt was don't play when tired. Do think long term I could be a winning MTT player but need to up my concentration and willingness to lay down a big hand.
Didn't play well at all, looking to chase draws etc and probably lucky to only lose £20, majority of which I lost when running KK into AA preflop. One of those sessions when you sit down and know you are not playing well but continue to play for some reason. I really must stop playing these sessions and make sure I only play when in the right mood. Off to work in a bit and may give it a break for a couple of days to recharge batteries before I begim my assault again, then again I may be on the tables tomorrow, we will have to see.
In the middled of a session and just played this hand. What would you do, bearing in mind the villain has a tendancy to push all in a lot and is not afraid to put his stack on the line.
