post UKIPT Day 1

I started this thread to sort some leaks before the UKIPT, however i found it really has helped developed my game, therefore im going to keep updating, but starting again (so to say). So this was back to day 1. Partly because im not sure what day im on again. lol. 

Anyways that means Starting BR is £80.44 so 20BIs a quite comfortable. 

Back to the grind. I done 2 tables for 1 hr 45 mins had a slow start but when i got going i won big pots. 

Closing Balance: £94.56

Pleased with this session in the end, but was lacking in confidence due to a few things which i wish to remian private atm. Ive spoke to a few players away from public view and theyve gave me some pretty good advice. This has helped and getting a couple of big pots helped too.
 

Dudeskin8

I did recall seeing you on a table sat with £12+ so figured you'd found a little run good.

Just keep it up and DON'T TILT ! lol

some run good?

DOHHHHHHH

Golden! Great work!

NL8 shots not far away now

Grind hard over the weekend and u could be there by Monday morning.

"Nice Jobbbb"

pod1

im lovin the pre flop raise sizes! you know jj you gonna have to do a brand new monster thread on "how to" for each level now and how to change your game moving up, coz somewhere down the line 10x rasies cant be a good thing.  keep going don so happy its going well for you, please remember though a little dip here or there isnt the end of the world bud.

The JJ hand inparticular im annoyed with. The AJ one i should fold pre i know that myself.

WHOAMI196

m8 aj scenario hand is what a lot of poker players go through day in day out its a flip m8 it happens(i dislike ur flat on the button though i 3bet or fold there but thats just my opinion) just because u lose doesnt mean its bad play.

gl btw your bankroll is climbing nicely bud. I remember havin  around  100 in my acc ages ago and i got affected if it dropped below the 100 and i find that silly now lol because it was just my mentality i guess....so one advice dont let THAT affect you lol 

edit : aj v k4s hand btw was 65%-35% you being fav (wasnt a flip as i said )
