    Funny day, had a bad session earlier tonight, was down about $150ish, 27 on 2 tourneys rest on cash, i was going to call it a night......

    ...but before i logged off i scoured the tables for some unknown reason and seen 3-4 tables with really bad fish seeing flop 40-49%......

    ...to cut a long story short i fought back my deficit and as a bonus i made profit....

    so far +65.34

    Moral of the story look for easy money before you log off lol

    Gl all for October

    A better start to this month than i had to last month.

    Played 4 different sessions of £100nl today then a few mastercash tables tonight. no Mtts today.

    Session 1 early hours of this morning played 4-5 tables, all pretty standard stuff = +£202.55
    Session 2 this morning same again standard stuff = +£132.29
    Session 3 afternoon. The dreaded badbeats started to hit me but managed to pull it around towards the end for another winning session of only £58.77 but after the beats i had it felt like alot more :)
    Session 4 at around 6pm all went ok with all my hands holding up but no really big ones among them = +£137.52

    Last visit to the tables today was on a few mastercash tables and the badbeat demons were out in force lol,
    not too much damage though for a loss of -£97.27

    Total profit so far this month = +£433.86

    Will be going on the tables again soon but busy watching yoyo hopefully winning the 8kbh first and will put any p/l off those on tomorrows update

    Good luck all.

    I liked this thread last month so I will participate again.

    As I mentioned before, I play for fun, so I will only play games I enjoy, which are PLO/PLO8 MTTs with the odd NLHE deepstack thrown in (mostly forum DTD). I still want to improve as a player and remain a winning player, so my goal for the month is to turn a profit, and I would like to have a good showing in OHL2.

    I got off to a pretty good start today. I played just about every PLO MTT as well as 3 PLO8 tourneys. I played 9 PLO bounty hunters, won 3, got some bounties in 3 and busted 3 empty-handed. I didn't cash 2 £1.10 PLO8s but finished runner-up in a £3.30 mtt for my best PLO8 score in a while. In the evening I played the 3 £20gtd PLO mtts and cashed 2 as runner-up. The last one was the craziest I have ever seen. People were potting and shoving left and right and I was somewhat lucky to get 2 or 3 double-ups and just stay out of the way until the others had knocked each other out. I started heads-up about 12-1 dog, got it back to even but the lost to a typical Omaha hand where I was ahead with a straight without redraws and was outtrawn to a bigger straight.

    Overall 6 cashes out of 15 played for a profit of £23.18, and right now I'm in the top 20 of the MTT league. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

    well a fairly decent start on nl4 - up £6.11
    was trying for a lot more given the challenge this evening but didn't get the situations.
    once i even "folded" aces after a disconnection which was not nice!

    Played 55 hypers yest, pretty poor volume for me. Bit of cash too and ended up playing nl4 on IRs challenge.

    Managed to double up but got bored (I do easily) so cashed out with around £6 profit. Steady start to the month £90 quid profit soo far. Cash for points 287.

    10k is easily achievable this month(my personal target is 16-20k). One thing I would say about the hypers is that they start up mid morning for an hour, then go dead over lunchtime and start getting busy again mid-late afternoon. Havent figured why the traffic aint there but when I used to play turbocharged there was a game pretty much all day.

    Also got egged into a sports bet by jj aka dohhhhhh. If Chelsea and Barca win today, I win a tidy sum for 6 correct selections. I have permed them down to 4 folds, so hopefully at least one of the two wins it will be a steady profit.
     
    Also a nice side bet where jj said everton would win the merseyside derby, I took pool for £5. He then wanted double or quits, I offered it to him on Spuds vs Gooners but for some insane reason he took wolves to beat newcastle !  Easy money .....

    Another good session mainly defined by one mahoosive hand with Aces where I scooped 150bb's via two players. Rest was pretty cagey stuff, never getting my opponants to have a hand when I did but overall anything positive is great.

    Start BR - £290.54

    Session - £14.64

    Current BR - £314.76

    Points - 119

     Just finished a session of 2 tabling 50nl and started off playing very laggy and was quickly £80 down. Tightened up and then managed to end with a profit of £115 on the session.

     Cash profit 4 month = £27.
     MTT Profit 4 month = -£5.
     C4P 4 month = 252.

     Going to have a break now before tackling the Primo later.

    Longest session yet at 490 hands (well to me that's long lol) and some really great variance, TPTK beaten by straight draw for 76bb's, a proper lolz one, AK beat by J10 on AQ4 flop yeah that was fun, oh and a fridge freezer AQ against AA where I cudn't fold. Clawed back a bit late on to only finish 1/2 a BI down which was very positive tbh.

    Start BR - £290.54

    Session - -£5.11

    Current BR - £309.65

    Points - 168

    After playing all day yesterday I took it easy today, maybe I shouldn't have. I min-cashed the PLO freeroll, bubbled a £1.10 PLO8, took down a PLO bountyhunter and won a £3.30 PLO8.

    3 cashes out of 4 for a profit of £23.01 today, October balance £46,19. Bankroll is now over 3 times my initial deposit for the first time.

     Succumbed to the temptation of the MTT. Played Primo, mini primo and mini roller for a total of £83. Didn't cash in any of them. Can say on the positive side that in Primo and mini primo I was ahead and all-in before the river on my exit hands. Really do thimk it is only a matter of time before I crack one of these. This is beginning to sound like a stuck record I am afraid.
     Played some 50nl and was able to post a profit of £53.

     Cash profit 4 month = £80.
     MTT Profit 4 month = -£88.
     C4P 4 month = 321.

     Off to bed now, as I think I maybe coming down with some sort of man flu. Will return tomorrow hopefully fully revived and raring to go.

    Just a quick update tonight cos watching primo late stages and scotty just went out in 7th as i type :(
    wp though m8 and nearly hit one of your goals for the month in first 2 days, no doubt will by the end though gl

    Played quite alot today on cash and MTTs

    Cash was all pretty standard stuff until my last session where the site seemed to be going 3 betting mad ! either they all read the same book or they all had AA :)  few badbeats but mainly ok.

    Primo i lasted about 7 hands when i decided to myself my 1010 was infront on the river on a 4568k board v a solid reg who prob bluffs there zero times (mybad). I seem to have these rushes of blood to the head from time to time :)

    Cash +£372.90
    MTTs -£60.50

    Monthly running total = +£746.26

    Good luck all.

    Had another good day.

    As rentisdue mentioned, I ran deep in the Primo and came 7th for 500 quid.  Was a decent cash but obviously wanted to go further, but still happy with how I played thru the tournie especially from around the bubble to my exit.

    Not happy with my performance in the roller.  Think I came 15th or so but made some bad calls.  My exit hand was standard tho and couldn't hvae done anything different with a sub25bb stack.

    Cash has been going well too and am pleased with the decisions I'm making.

    Total profit so far this month is 2.2k with a C4P figure of 4256.

    GL all
