Too many fish in this thread Ben, that ROI should be easy enough to turn round, the profit might take abit longer though. Too much sport on today, I'm gonna be really distracted! (it's not hard to distract me tbh) Hope to at least get 20 games in though. Fancy Murray might get turned over, and fear the worst for Yorkshire in the cricket. 4/1 Janowickz, 4/5 Lancashire would be a nice double! Can't touch it myself tho, obv. C'mon YCCC!!!!!

I'll duck out then after this post!
Derbyshire v Notts is the only match that matters tonight
Nice going Ace, i tilted massively last night, had a brutal run and then made it ten times worse for myself going up to the 21s eventually ended up down about 200ish not even going to moan about some of the hands i saw. Hopefully have taught myself a lesson though, hoping to get some games in this afternoon don't even want to look at the state of my scope and getting a positive roi could be a challenge in it itself now lol gl at the tables. Games: 313 Av stake: £8.01 Roi: -1.1 % Profit- -£141 Going to be a slog turning that around now i have enforced a ban on myself to go no higher than 5.25. Posted by benc
Been there worn the t shirt. Most important thing is you acknowledged what has happened. With HU sngs if you do the right things over time you will win money and its still early doors so nothing major to worry about especially given your long term record.
I am applying a 100 buyin rule unless I see value at higher stakes. This morning I saw an unknown player at £20 hu std blinds. If it was a turbo or a hyper I would have snap refused it, but I felt with deeper stacks and 7 min blinds it should be an easy game. Unfortunately things dont work out that in life do they and I lost! Feeling tilted then proceeded to donk off what felt like the best part of 6x £5 turbos. Still had a recovery through the morning and made most of it back and some. I think when I scoped by daily performance I was up like 3 dollars for the day!
Its 13:50 and ive just been asleep for the last 2 hours, that is soo wrong! I dont mind mid afternoon kips but to go back to bed at 11:30am just shows how unfit I am. The weather is great, im gonna get out and start walking every day. Its criminal not to enjoy this weather and can only be good for the poker brain. Who knows, if I make a decent amount of profit this month, might treat myself to a bike.

LOL, did your school report read "JJ has bundles of ability but must try harder!"
Brutal turn around Benc but I'm sure you can turn it back the other way. If anyone would be kind enough to skope my HU SnGs for July so far and post it here then it would help me out and probably cheer you up Posted by Lambert180

Sigh, cheers Wason, I knew roughly how bad things were just not ROI. Told ya it would cheer you up Benc!
1 final on the French sites today, we made a deal 3 handed with €25 left for the winner, when we were 3 handed.
I was 3rd in chips, and got €145 on the chop, 2nd paid 155 and first 250. IDK if it was the right thing to do, but it made it a + €100 day on the MTTs....
Great start on the HU's for me today, played truly awful, but binked so many hands where I just got owned, and won the first 4, making it an 8 game winning streak following on from the last session.
Have to take a break here to watch the conclusion of The Roses Match.
We have half a chance of defending a very poor total.
What an atmosphere at Headingley, what an occasion.
Come on Yorks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should be ok to play a couple of hours straight HU after this game ends.

I'm pretty sure you don't really care that much either way about 20 euro. You barely got more than what you'd have got for busting the very next hand but give up any chance of taking it down.
If stacks are 600k, 1m, 1m, and the total for top 3 is 521, we know edges aren't massive at this stage and if anything you should rate your own edge against like 95%+ of players so something like 160/180/180 seems fairer, but even then, chopping for such a small amount extra when there's 245 up top, I'd 100% just say no deal and play ftw.
Deffo agree edges are small and it's V high variance, that's why he shouldn't get a HUGE amount more than you for having like 10xBB more than you, cos his situation really isn't THAT much better than yours.

Get a piece of paper stick it to your Laptop/PC screen and write on it "5 hours of disciplined poker MIGHT win me £20, 5 Minutes of undisciplined poker MIGHT lose me £20"
All of our tight disciplined poker that brings us rewards that are hard earned, can often be ruined within 5 bad loose hands, KEEP THAT DISCIPLINE!!!!!!
5 minutes to lose £20, but a **** of a lot longer to regain it.

UL Ben, you will soon turn it around.
Ben, that ROI should be easy enough to turn round, the profit might take abit longer though.
Too much sport on today, I'm gonna be really distracted! (it's not hard to distract me tbh)
Hope to at least get 20 games in though.
Fancy Murray might get turned over, and fear the worst for Yorkshire in the cricket. 4/1 Janowickz, 4/5 Lancashire would be a nice double!
Can't touch it myself tho, obv. C'mon YCCC!!!!!

I had 600k, 2 stacks of 1m.
payouts 122/155/244.
It's a turbo with blinds @ 20/40k.
I dealt for 144 with 25 left to play for up top? Felt like it was a good deal at the time, but I'm very inexperienced at this kinda thing.
What a great end to the Roses match, didn't do either team any good, but great drama.
At least we didn't get beat!!!!!
Fear the worst when we cross the Pennines to play at their place though.....
Now for Poker!...................

meh, maybe I got the numbers wrong.
3rd must have been less.
I just took the straight ICM numbers, whatever they were.
fwiw, with the 25 left to play for I still busted 3rd K6 < Q5 aipf
I've got no regrets, but maybe have to look into learning aboput these kinda negotiations.
VVVV small edge/High V at this stage.
Nxt 2 games
