Do we get a post match report on the evenings events also????
a long session this time and 3 tables probably too long - ended up £3.12 so balance up £22.69 overall. would have been alot better if I could get past people who think top pair ace kicker is the nuts when I have an overpair and they hit trips/2 pair on river. way it goes!
Oh, does anyone else have a nemesis at the tables? the past couple of weeks this guy has always got there at the river. today on the turn i had the nut straight and he goes allin. the way he 's played it he has trips so a no brainer call. the river pairs another card for his full house. he just can't seem to miss against me at the moment! will be trying to avoid him for a while!!

In answer to your nemesis question i would say yes mate.
ME = i am my own nemesis at times lol always doing stupid things v the wrong people and end up beating myself
But in all seriousness i think 90% of players find certain types of player awkward if it dosnt fit in with there own style of play and like you already said its just as easy to find a different table if so and if it is just a question of them getting lucky v you all the time you should carry on playing them because luck only lasts so long.
But remember mate that if there is value at the same table as your nemesis its always better to stay there and just avoid playing v him while trying to isolate the value.
Only played small stakes cash for a short time in the afternoon and lost £31.38
Played the main and mini + thews@10 MTTs with no joy in any and even forgot to take my rebuy in my fav MTT of the week Thews@10 which put me on a right downer
Went on £100nl and £200nl for about 2 hours late night-early morning and apart from 1 hand where i remember hitting a set of 9s v t/p with fl/dr all in on flop only to see the flush hit river for £270 pot, i carnt remember any other times where i hit a hand. Had plenty flops where i had massive draws but never hit a thing and betting your draws can become expensive if your not hitting loss= £378.12
Like i have said before though sessions like this happen alot and although they are frustrating you just have to take them on the chin and remember tomorrows another day
Cash games on day = -£409.50 MTTs on day = -£36.30
Proper grinding session last night, 2 major pots over 20bb's AK 3bet pre hit K high flop face donkbet and call happy days I raise it up BIG get flat turn blank I shove as stack is less than pot and amazingly they fold which was pretty sick, also finally binked a set and got paid the max. 1 losing 20bb pot AJ v 68 they called flop bet wiv 2nd pair and improved standard. Mainly though just a case of lots of little pots going against me. Reached 1000 points so gonna take break till 1st Oct, down on month but still playing well just need a little more run good.
2 more sessions today up £6.94 and up £6.78 so a good day. balance up now £36.41 met my nemesis and managed to avoid most pots with him. still lost to him but not much, but enough elsewhere to still make it profitable to stay on the table
good luck
oh yeah, noticed I am 25 points short of the 1,000!! will be first time if i get there. I blame you Jenny for starting the thead!! LOL! didn't realise I had played so much!
In Response to Re: **** SEPTEMBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD **** : Pretty good day today. Played the DTD. First one I got it all in on the turn with QQ, villain rivers flush. Second one I river K high flush, villain has the ace. Min-cashed the totty, standard flip AQ vs 88, so not all bad. Also played 1 Omaha bounty hunter. Had 22 runners, I took it down with 5 or 6 bounties for a nice little profit. Last hand opponent turned nut straight, I filled up on river, oppo couldn't get away. Balance today: +£15.10 Balance MTD: +£76.67 Posted by Giant811
Didn't play yesterday as I just didn't feel like it.
Played the mini main and 2 £20gtd PLOs. Completely card dead in mini, played like 5 hands during first hour, made a stand last hand before break with A5, villain called with J9s and made his straight. Finished runner-up in both PLOs. First one was very short at start of heads-up and villain was running like god, quads 3-handed and then again heads-up. Second one was a good battle, but with blinds going up we just got it in with 2 mediocre hands and I lost. Still, so far this month I'm cashing exactly 50% of the £20gdts, I just need to improve my heads-up.
Played 4-5 tables of £100nl for about 1 hour this morning = -£51.37 also played a small bounty hunter = -£11
Played 2 tables of £100nl early evening for about 20mins = +£145.56
Played the main and mini MTTs tonight with no cashes and both exit hands were something that should be found in area 51 lol, both hands i held sets all in on flop v t/p and both runner runner flushes v me = -£25.30
Ive just came off from playing £200nl and £100nl for about the past 2 hours with a profit of £88.54
Only on 1 table now but will put any p/l off that on tomorrows update.
Cash games on day = +£182.73 MTTs on day = -£36.30
Total profit on day = +£146.43
Monthly running total = +£5805.65 Cash for points now over 12,000
decided to play again after posting last night as realised would be difficult to play over next 2 days for any length of time. wanted to get the 25 points or so which I thought the previuos session would have yielded! couldn't get going at all, strange how a 15 minute break changed my fortunes. ended up 8p!!!!

After bragging a little about my cash percentage yesterday I didn't cash either of the 2 £20 gtd PLOs today. First one was bbv, all in on flop with set against 2 pair, lost to runner runner flush. Second one play was 4-handed, 3 cash, I was second low stack. Big stack hat bet pot on flop and turn, short stack had called all in. I had 2 pair and nfs on double-flushing board. I figured big stack was either trying to bully the short stacks or had me beat, but if I hit I would get a lot of chips and have a good chance to win and even if big stack holds I finish third and cash due to stacks. Of course short stack binks the wrong flush, big stack has a set and I go out in 4th. I'm quite upset both with my luck and because I could have easily folded on the flop as I only had middle pair + nfd at that point.
The 1 x £100nl table i stayed on in the early hours proved to be a waste of time. 2 very bad players on it but just couldnt hit a thing v them and ended up costing me £172.88.
Been out all day today so havnt played any cash and just managed to get back in time to play the bounty hunter main and mini but after only 2 hands i got disconnected and couldnt get back on the site for about 30mins or so.
When i did get back on my chips had almost halfed and first hand back i got dealt ak suited all in v a guy with k4 only to see the 4 hit the river (area 51 here i come ) and that was about the same time as my aq was losing to q9 in the mini (sigh).
Site seemed to be really playing up for me running slow and discoing etc so decided to come off for a while then.
Ive just been on 3-4 £100nl tables before typing this and made £87.02 so am going to call it a day now.
Cash games on day = -£85.86 MTTs on day = -£36.30 (quite expensive for playing 2 hands in each lol)
Forgot about/neglected and couldn't face this thread lately. But as the nightmare that was September is now over, I might as well give a quick summary.
So I've played 3 times this week, 1 proper session inbetween 2 indifferent ones.
Last Saturday I had a nightmare. Got really wound up, played and ran bad in the hypers and lost £175. My biggest losing session for 3 months.
--------------
I normally do well in the session after a blow up. It re-focuses my mind and I go back to being a br nit and trying to get my pennies back! Tuesday was my most satisfying day of poker for a long time.
Was +120 in mtts, + 90 @ HU sngs, and +80 playing abit of 30nl. Not spectacular, but a good all round day.
-----------
Yesterday I followed up with a steady 92 quid day. Hardly played, couldn't find the motivation.
----------
This week -175 + 290 + 92 + 30 C4P.... = 237
Total for month = + 757.06
Points - 3151
---------------------------
Not bad in the end, considering I went a week without playing @ the start of the month. But not good either. It cudda been alot worse. Need a big month nxt month. Going for 2k. And really gonna try hard to go deep in an MTT.
Also, loving that October starts on a Saturday!! And it's the first new month since the HU Hypers have been brought in, so who knows what cud happen. I could make 4k C4P!!!!
