Haylez i'll leave the analysis of hands to others who are better than me but just to say rather than give us an edited version of the hand like you have it's better to post the full hand using copy and paste either in the poker clinic or on here. Trevor will be able to give you a full explanation how to do this if you need it. That way we can see blind levels and how the action developed.
But I think my bank roll management is pretty good and maybe I can give you some pointers. I'm slightly unclear about this sentence "AS I PUT 200 ON SKYPOKER ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO BUILT IT UP TO NEARLY 970 POUND AND DURING THE PAST 6 DAYS IT IS DOWN TO ABOUT 80 QUID" Are you saying that you have lost £880 during the last 6 days or have you drawn out and your original £200 is down to £80? I'll assume the latter as if it's the first thats really quite unbelievable. Let's assume you have a bankroll of £200. That is enough to give you 40 buy ins at £5-00 which is acceptable. 40/50 buy ins is the norm. so if your regularly buying in to the £11-00 tourneys you need a roll of £440/500. If you play cash a recommended level is 20 buy ins so if you play cash where the max buy in is £10 you need a bankroll of £200.
If your playing satellites you need to set yourself a limit and stick to it. But Sats aren't my strongpoint I only usually play Primo sats and I limit myself to 3. If I'm not through at the 3rd attempt I find my play starts to suffer and frustration sets in. I'm sure the likes of Geldy knows a lot more about Sats bankroll management.
A quick word about tournament play. As you may have seen I posted yesterday about a serious leak in my game where I was calling allins for my tournament life and losing. Last night I managed to change it around by folding some pretty big hands preflop. I once read that the hands you fold can win you tournaments as much as the hands you play. I certainly believe that's true.
There's no problem with your hand range in those examples. From AA down to AQ are premium hands but like Trev says try to avoid allin situations too early in the game and be prepared to fold AK, AQ etc if you miss. Play premium hands strongly, never limp with them and if your ahead preflop you've done the right thing. When your continually losing flips it's simply -variance.
In Response to Re: Official - TPT (Team Poker Titans) Tribulations & Cashes : Well done Zoed Seems like a good nights work. Won't be seeing you all at Newcastle I'm afraid. Can't be bothered to rant again. Gory details of tonight's sat on my thread in poker chat if anyone is bored. Posted by Jac35
Just seen this in Poker chat section. Well done matisback but so unlucky thebil. To have the same 3 players in the top 10 of Main and Mini is pretty amazing.
Also a great result from thebil in the main and mini, he's playin pretty well at the mo and getting ever closer to a big result - Had him on my tables a lot just lately and he can be quite a tricky customer especially with a few chips behind him
I'm not playing much at the moment guys, a combination of not running good and a hecktic business schedule and personal things going on at the moment is not giving me a lot of time to focus on the poker at the moment.
I won't bore you with my badbeats, i'm sure u have enough of your own
