Small session tonight with Orfordable and 7.15pm deepy but luckily a very solid winning one. Early losing hand with AK where I had top 2 on turn but river gave a bare jack broadway run better...A few decent winning pots above 20bb's but main one was QQ v JJ board runs out low I get the lot. Start BR - £290.54
was that the hand v me Rentisdue? fwiw I thought you played it really welland surely part of the reason that you flatted flop/checked turn was to underrep your hand. just got unlucky tbh Posted by scotty77
No mate that wasnt v you it was v someone yesterday, think ours was just a £200 pot.
I put you on fl dra and ace slowed me on turn but when you pushed river i thought busted flush and was right pity for me it included the ace lol nh m8
BTW scotty mate i like the way you thought it was you when i typed "one of the sites serial button raisers" lol
I was talking about one of the 3 or 4 players who raise or reraise the button every orbit, you will know which ones i mean m8.
Although you raise button alot you also pick your spots instead of blindly raising atc which imo can not be a winning play long term v players who grow accustomed to it.
horrendous last couple of hours. worst I have ever ran. been 2 outered constantly. twice I flopped houses and was runner runnered. having botton set run into middle set. just ridic,
felt like I was down over a grand tbh.
thankfully it was only minus 400
won 250 this afternoon and with the profit I made 6am I am still up a bit for the day but really if I ran like a normal human being and not like Jamie Hurst then I would be up at least 1.5k for the day
oh well DTD 300 tomorrow saving run good for that
also gonna fall short of C4P target for the day as I can't face playing anymore. 9.6k
In Response to Re: *****OCTOBER PROFIT CHALLENGE THREAD***** : Today was a bit of a mixed bag. I cashed 2 out of 3 bounty hunters and 1 out of 2 £3.30 PLO8, but unfortunately I didn't get many bounties and all cashes were small so I barely made a profit. Nothing really stood out, binked a few, got busted twice by river flushes against my flopped sets, pretty standard. 3 cashes out of 5, daily balance +£1.57, MTD balance £57.80 Posted by Giant811
I was due a bad day, but fortunately with MTTs the downside is limited. I bubbled a £3.30 PLO8 and I got suckered into playing the Orfordable. At this stage playing the community Hold'em tournaments is just a waste of money. Somehow playing so much Omaha has made my Hold'em play worse, not that it was any good to begin with.
Then it's time for the £1k gtd Omaha MTT, the event I've been looking forward to since last Friday. First hand of the second level this happens:

Isn't he that clown who lives in area51? srsly wp to him
finally got round to attempting to play again, played 30 £5 dyms, inc 3 or 4 turbo's whilst I was waiting for the normal ones to fill.
only played 3 or 4 at once as i've barely seen a computer for 3 weeks n just felt like i needed to get back in2 the right habits / mindset, basically learning again where the fold button is!
managed to run ok and turned a £65 profit and obv 150 pts, will be stepping up the grind ova the nxt few days!
1st session from about 2pm - 5pm was the swingiest session by a long way. playing 6-7 tables of £100nl with 1x£200nl table thrown in and i managed to go about £400-£500 up in no time then partly due to bad play but more due to bad luck within 30mins of that i was about £300-£400 down.
At that point i was just thinking i would be happy coming off even on the session but things took a big upturn again and i ended the session +£328.29
My 2nd session i played 7 tables of £100nl and after starting badly by losing 2 buyins in no time i managed to pull it around again to finish the session at -£19.87
MTTs i played main and mini and came 7th in main +£214.70
Cash on day +£308.42 MTTs on day +214.70
Monthly running total = +£1686.76
My profits dont seem to be as good when playing more tables than 2 or 3 and lately i havnt been so selective with my table choice but i think playing alot of tables is helping me to spot a few leaks in my game that i hadnt really noticed until now so long term i think the good will outweigh the bad. 1 of them is giving too much action to players who are tighter than a nats @ss ( no scotty im not talking about you mate ) but they say practice makes perfect so i will be trying to put them right
Worked early this morning to combine breakfast with the rugby, and thought I'd throw in a couple of tables of poker as I was sat still for a while. Played well while England were getting stuffed, then lost concentration in that short period during the second half when England looked respectable and undid my earlier good play.
Almost exact break even session as I never really got out of 1st gear. Not one losing pot over 20bbs which is good and also some winning ones over that mark but never any daddy pots so any wins were trickled away with blinds etc. But break even is better than losing 2 BI's which I had last month lol

Very nervous going into this sesh as I'm in that horrible situation where I could see it going wrong i.e getting some crazy loony variance. Well it went slightly better than that in fact my biggest ever winning session at cash, only 2 losing pots above 20bbs which helped as well. Winning ones though were off the chart including one 180bb pot bottom set on K73 flop vs AK and KQ who were both full stacked and maniacs, ahh bliss .
This now takes me to stage where I can try NL20 which will be tomorrow, just gotta hope the run good continues for a few more days then I shud be stable at the level.

Fine day today to more than make up for yesterday's disappointment. I felt I ran really well, definitely on the right end of some sick beats today. Best/worst one I remember villain had flopped a house, I called 2 streets with overpair to paired board and hit a 2-outer for a bigger house. Another one, heads-up with stacks almost exactly equal, I flopped top set on a very wet board, villain turned the nut straight (I made a lower straight) and I then filled up on the river. So sick. There also was a 3-way chop with 2 pair, 3-way all-in and everyone had AA99. Never seen that before. Only major hand I got unlucky was the final hand in the £20gtd, heads-up I got my chips in as a 2:1 fav with top pair and straight and flush draws and lost to 2 pair. Difference between 1st and 2nd was £20, so from that point of view this was the most important hand of the day.
In total 7 cashes out of 11, daily balance +£25.94, MTD balance £71.64. I'm also currently 7th in the MTT league. I don't expect to stay up there, but who knows, maybe I get into the next TSP playoff, and if I somehow run like god and bink my way onto the team I could be the first member who has a sub-£1k bankroll and no clue how to play Hold'em or Cash. Wouldn't that be fun?
