Dont think I played as bad as Sunday, but certainly didn't cover myself if glory.
Almost all my big losing hands were bluffs, didn't get coolered at all and even won a couple of aipf flips @ 30nl.
Probably helped to limit the damage to only -1.33 buyins.
Wont post any hands as most of them are in the clinic. Go check em out especially if you're in need of a laugh
The day was saved as I had 50% of 10th place in the turbo open!
So close to the biggggggggggggg moniez tho
Half of £140 - stake makes it a + 0.75 buyin day haha.
Hoping to continue with the staking success over the ukops period, biggggg money ftw
+10 buyins in 1 session, has become +9 in 2, and now + 7.75 in 3.
Win rate dropping dramatically More worryingly, so is performance.
Not sure what poker plans are over the Easter weekend but I'm gonna make sure the next session is a winning one, gonna play on until I'm up 1/2 a buy in at least, no matter how badly it's going!
Yeah judging by your clinic post it sounds like a very good result to only be £40 down. I'm sure it'll help you fet paid off at some point soon tho
So have you got any tips for the Grand National?
It's the only horse racing I show any interest in purely because when I lived in Liverpool I could literally see the race out of my window I was that close, so it's usually the only sports bet I place all year.

It's a good job I know people who know how to play!
Lost @ 30nl again on Thursday though.
Didn't play anywhere near as bad, but still pretty bad.
Started well, again, then I do something wrong/bad or maybe even just get ul in a spot and the head just goes/drops. Confidence & tilt. It's an easy game when you're winning.
Only dropped £45, but was at least double that up at 1 point.
Since returning to 30nl 10 days ago I've had sessions of +10, -1, -1.3 and -1.5!
Getting progressively worse
I cba putting pressure on myself to grind today, I could end up playing a long 30nl session but only if I want to later, not gonna force myself.
Will just donk about in mtts and donate to the bookies instead of skys cash grinders
Might bring back the monthly profit/loss updates next month if I continue to play back on sky.
The 1,750 poker points I've made this last 10 days is more than I've made the last 4 months combined.
No doubt you will be posting the two said hands later ! I did outdo your 3 bet with lower suited conns mind, what a turn card for me! Posted by ACEGOONER
nah wnt be posting much here, retiring the diary for a while. will come back to it in the future maybe.
Both hands were coolers.
Turn cards ensured the dosh was going in both times!
my £50 on spurs to fail the top 4 is looking good, hope ur lads can keep the good form going

Thought i would give this a bump after the doncaster game last week, was listening on the radio as it happened amazing stuff, bet you thought it was all over when they were given the penalty.. also what do you think of dean saunders, seemed to get the wolves job on the back of redbuilding doncaster? but hasn't managed to turn it around.. you a fan?
PS hows the poker been going? still playing 30nl? still not playing much HU?

No! Definitely not a fan.
Wolves need to get rid of him asap. I said the day he went there (20 games of the season left) that Wolves would go down. He didn't let me down. Awful manager.
We were very lucky to go up, not just with the final game drama but all season we've been nicking wins away from home with last minute goals, getting battered for most of the game but fluking results etc.
Our away record is the best in the football league, and our home record very average. Which suggests we can grind out results but when it comes to outplaying teams at home, we've got nothing.
Luckily league 1 was a very poor league this year.
Unless there's big changes in the summer we'll be lucky to finish 2nd bottom next year.
Thankfully they're bringing in a new manager, so hopefully he'll realise the current squad is cats P/ss and get changing it around sooner rather than later.
1 positive for next year might be our pitch, from christmas onwards it turns into a a beech, pretty much unplayable. It worked against us this year when the lesser teams came, but maybe next year when we're at home to Reading/QPR/Newcaslte (!?) and desperate for any kinda result, it might be a good leveller. Obv we're gonna be the 2nd best team in 95% of home games, so if the pitch is unplayable it might take away some of the edge.
---------------------------
Poker.
Has been going well the last month or so when I've been back playing cash.
Best session has been +11 buy ins, the worst session (Saturday) -5 buyins.
Majority of the sessions have been between +3 and +5. Haven't kept any record but must have been around +25 buyins last month.
Really struggled with focus/tilt control on Saturday. It might just have been '1 of those days' where I should have realised early on that it wasn't happening and quit, instead of trying to force something to happen.
I'll probably find out today, if I manage to focus and play well then the above is probably the case, but I suspect I might be getting bored and in to a set routine again.
I've considered moving up to 40 and 50nl to try and re-focus and give myself a new challenge.
After dropping 4 buyins @ 30nl on Saturday I quit all tables for 15 mins then moved up, and did alright. The tables didn't seem too bad. I lost, obv. lol But didn't get hammered or anything. Apart from on the drink which inevitably resulted in some spew towards the end.
Toying with the idea of re-starting the diary for a 20xbuyin 50nl shot from today.
Would need to move some money around to do that though, and also waiting for some payments to come thru.
Might spend this week trying to recover Saturday, hopefully grind up abit more so I can use any profits as 'ammo' to make the 50nl shot feel like more of a 'freeroll'.
Weird poker psychology thing.
If I struggle to focus/motivate myself to grind this week though, I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe stop playing cash again for a few weeks, idk.
May update later in the week if the 50nl plans materialise!
Good news for those guys, must be down tonnes @ 50nl this last 12 months!
My week of trying to 'win' a 20xbi 50nl bankroll to finally take a proper shot hasn't gone according to plan.
Firstly, I spent most of the time playing 50nl instead of trying to build at 30.
Secondly, I spent most of the time losing.
We had -1 buyin. +5 buyins. -6 buyins.
The last session was just hurrendous, I wasn't going to play at all, but decided at half time in the Chelsea v Spurs game I'd play for a couple of hours.
Bad decision.
Got into some really weird meta-game war with some guy I haven't even played that much before.
I know he's a winner on Sky at all levels, 30nl thru 100nl, and I know he's quite loose aggressive, but before the session we hadn't had too much history.
The 'battle' started with me being coolered.

All those hands (and a couple of others for stacks) were against the same opponent.
How do you play like 40% of hands and have a set everytime you go beyond the turn?
And the times you don't, just get there anyway.
Ugh
So I lost that battle, 7 stacks to 1.
Add in the 3 buyins I lose to Rancid every session nowardays (guy crushes me), and I think I did ok to 'get out' minus 6 buyins.
-----------------
Pretty annoying, I'm really fancying a proper crack at that level for once. These random spewy/tilty shots are just delaying it.
Traditionally bounce back well from these kind of set backs (I've had enough practise). So I'm hoping for a strong Friday/Sunday double session back at 30nl (sigh).
Have enjoyed the recent 'shots' though, and have the motivation to get organised and take my first proper/structered 50nl shot.
Might just win the HOT20 on .fr this afternoon then I'll be able to play again tonight! Come rail me 50nl regs, bring you're run good and you will be rewarded with my pennies t'neet!
Diary back on hold until I can start 50nl properly.
Looking to make 20 buyins at 30nl, in a donkeyfest, on a sports bet (pffft) or a combo of the 3 before going in with 20bi for 50nl.
If this weekend goes really well, It might be early next week!
Very good read again mate. Never a dull session where you're concerned is it! I read somewhere that Phil Parkinson is in with a chance as Donny manager. Pretty uninspiring I guess. Your views? Posted by splashies
Dunno, wouldn't mind it tbh. Would annoy Trip5 if nothing else
Looked at the betting yesterday, Paul Dickov is 1/5 with Sky Bet.
Don't know much about him as a manager, but he used to put 100% in as a player, obviously his management style will be similar, might be ideally suited to a relegation battle just the kinda guy we need.
2nd favourite, Dean Saunders. Not even gonna go there.
Apparently when Saunders went to Wolves in January, Sven and Glen Hoddle applied for the job.
Wouldn't fancy either of them.
My first choice for footballing reasons would be Warnock, 2nd would be Steve Kean, just coz I'd love to see him prove people wrong.

Half of £140 - stake makes it a + 0.75 buyin day
Hoping to continue with the staking success over the ukops period, biggggg money ftw
+10 buyins in 1 session, has become +9 in 2, and now + 7.75 in 3.
Win rate dropping dramatically
Not sure what poker plans are over the Easter weekend but I'm gonna make sure the next session is a winning one, gonna play on until I'm up 1/2 a buy in at least, no matter how badly it's going!
So have you got any tips for the Grand National?
It's the only horse racing I show any interest in purely because when I lived in Liverpool I could literally see the race out of my window I was that close, so it's usually the only sports bet I place all year.
Lost @ 30nl again on Thursday though.
Didn't play anywhere near as bad, but still pretty bad.
Started well, again, then I do something wrong/bad or maybe even just get ul in a spot and the head just goes/drops. Confidence & tilt. It's an easy game when you're winning.
Only dropped £45, but was at least double that up at 1 point.
Since returning to 30nl 10 days ago I've had sessions of +10, -1, -1.3 and -1.5!
Getting progressively worse
I cba putting pressure on myself to grind today, I could end up playing a long 30nl session but only if I want to later, not gonna force myself.
Will just donk about in mtts and donate to the bookies instead of skys cash grinders
Might bring back the monthly profit/loss updates next month if I continue to play back on sky.
The 1,750 poker points I've made this last 10 days is more than I've made the last 4 months combined.
GL all over the Easter weekend!
PS hows the poker been going? still playing 30nl? still not playing much HU?
Wolves need to get rid of him asap. I said the day he went there (20 games of the season left) that Wolves would go down. He didn't let me down. Awful manager.
We were very lucky to go up, not just with the final game drama but all season we've been nicking wins away from home with last minute goals, getting battered for most of the game but fluking results etc.
Our away record is the best in the football league, and our home record very average. Which suggests we can grind out results but when it comes to outplaying teams at home, we've got nothing.
Luckily league 1 was a very poor league this year.
Unless there's big changes in the summer we'll be lucky to finish 2nd bottom next year.
Thankfully they're bringing in a new manager, so hopefully he'll realise the current squad is cats P/ss and get changing it around sooner rather than later.
1 positive for next year might be our pitch, from christmas onwards it turns into a a beech, pretty much unplayable. It worked against us this year when the lesser teams came, but maybe next year when we're at home to Reading/QPR/Newcaslte (!?) and desperate for any kinda result, it might be a good leveller. Obv we're gonna be the 2nd best team in 95% of home games, so if the pitch is unplayable it might take away some of the edge.

Poker.
Has been going well the last month or so when I've been back playing cash.
Best session has been +11 buy ins, the worst session (Saturday) -5 buyins.
Majority of the sessions have been between +3 and +5. Haven't kept any record but must have been around +25 buyins last month.
Really struggled with focus/tilt control on Saturday. It might just have been '1 of those days' where I should have realised early on that it wasn't happening and quit, instead of trying to force something to happen.
I'll probably find out today, if I manage to focus and play well then the above is probably the case, but I suspect I might be getting bored and in to a set routine again.
I've considered moving up to 40 and 50nl to try and re-focus and give myself a new challenge.
After dropping 4 buyins @ 30nl on Saturday I quit all tables for 15 mins then moved up, and did alright. The tables didn't seem too bad. I lost, obv. lol But didn't get hammered or anything. Apart from on the drink which inevitably resulted in some spew towards the end.
Toying with the idea of re-starting the diary for a 20xbuyin 50nl shot from today.
Would need to move some money around to do that though, and also waiting for some payments to come thru.
Might spend this week trying to recover Saturday, hopefully grind up abit more so I can use any profits as 'ammo' to make the 50nl shot feel like more of a 'freeroll'.
Weird poker psychology thing.
If I struggle to focus/motivate myself to grind this week though, I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe stop playing cash again for a few weeks, idk.
May update later in the week if the 50nl plans materialise!
Good news for those guys, must be down tonnes @ 50nl this last 12 months!
Coming to geddit bak!
Maybe!
My week of trying to 'win' a 20xbi 50nl bankroll to finally take a proper shot hasn't gone according to plan.
Firstly, I spent most of the time playing 50nl instead of trying to build at 30.
Secondly, I spent most of the time losing.
We had -1 buyin. +5 buyins. -6 buyins.
The last session was just hurrendous, I wasn't going to play at all, but decided at half time in the Chelsea v Spurs game I'd play for a couple of hours.
Bad decision.
Got into some really weird meta-game war with some guy I haven't even played that much before.
I know he's a winner on Sky at all levels, 30nl thru 100nl, and I know he's quite loose aggressive, but before the session we hadn't had too much history.
The 'battle' started with me being coolered.
Turned into me getting a couple of 'beats'
How do you play like 40% of hands and have a set everytime you go beyond the turn?
And the times you don't, just get there anyway.
Ugh
So I lost that battle, 7 stacks to 1.
Add in the 3 buyins I lose to Rancid every session nowardays (guy crushes me), and I think I did ok to 'get out' minus 6 buyins.
-----------------
Pretty annoying, I'm really fancying a proper crack at that level for once. These random spewy/tilty shots are just delaying it.
Traditionally bounce back well from these kind of set backs (I've had enough practise). So I'm hoping for a strong Friday/Sunday double session back at 30nl (sigh).
Have enjoyed the recent 'shots' though, and have the motivation to get organised and take my first proper/structered 50nl shot.
Might just win the HOT20 on .fr this afternoon then I'll be able to play again tonight!
Diary back on hold until I can start 50nl properly.
Looking to make 20 buyins at 30nl, in a donkeyfest, on a sports bet (pffft) or a combo of the 3 before going in with 20bi for 50nl.
If this weekend goes really well, It might be early next week!
More realistically, next weekend though.
Run gud all this w/e!

fwiw re my above post, if anyone is confused, this is my personal favourite Nuwaubian belief.
