Was knackered when I finished playing yesterday (this morning), couldn't be bothered to post in here. Got another £5 for my poker points in the first 30 days, which I lost in the forum DTD, and lost my DYM win streak. Not much else happened really, pretty much lost my free fiver.
Most Recent Update - 22/11/11, 15:40
Bankroll: £45.94 (-£2.10 for Forum HU R2)
Profit this month: £31.85
Profit yesterday: £0.27
Withdrawals this month: £0.00
Today, I'll be on the low stakes BH Sit 'n' Go and £1.15 DYM tables - Maybe even a bit of NL4, whatever I feel like playing really.
Been looking out for you on a table this evening for our HU round 2 fixture but you've not been around. You may be pokered out after your long night last night. Hope to catch up with you on Thursday or Friday
Made a massive profit yesterday - Spent 90 minutes on an NL4 table, doubled up then lost a massive pot - 510 in the big blind, checked, flopped trips, ended up outkicked by someone (Probably makes up for the AK vs AQ hand I had where I binked a queen, to be fair). Left with my 66p profit, then lost 60p on a S&G BH, tried to steal the blinds, big blind had KK.

I sat down at a free play table, and had the chat box visible. Didn't work because someone joined the table, and it stood me up automatically when I didn't play any hands :P Didn't realise until later.b
I'll be on here tomorrow and Friday but might not be sat down at the table all the time - If you can't find me on a table just post in here and I'll join a free play table I have the forum up pretty much all the time when I'm not playing.
*had already noted that guy was a bingo player - I hope notes aren't censored otherwise mine might be pretty useless next time I see him on the tables!*
No show... shall we make a date for Friday at 7:15 pm? Posted by QUICKFEET
Tomorrow, 7:15pm is fine Will attach a sticky note to my computer so I remember.
Couldn't access the forum, inbox, or anything like that until about half an hour ago, kept getting the same message that was coming up during the downtime yesterday - Would've noticed this thread and played today otherwise.

As for the diary...No play today, although I couldn't resist sticking a few quid on the NFL. Put a bet on Miami, was gutted when they lost to a last minute field goal. Got about £8 of bets on the 49ers @ Ravens game, hoping for a lot of field goals, expect the 49ers to come out on top...just. Will deposit what I lose/withdraw what I win from my bets tomorrow, so won't affect my bankroll.
Lost a few quid when I started on NL4 with a couple of bad beats, lost just under 3 buy-ins, which I have now made back. Had £38.27 in my account when I finished playing yesterday, and about £3 up so far today.
Started the day with 2 DYM's. Out first in both of them due to being outdrawn. Entered a £3k BH Satellite, AK vs. AJ, all in pre flop, AJ hits a straight, so went out of that. Played a bit of NL4, won £1.70 back when one of my premium hands actually held up for once. Entered a £500 GTD BH and a £400 GTD BH. Both times I built up a decent stack, only to get crippled by what can only be described in both cases as idiotic shoves and rather nasty outdraws by the opponent, and ending up short stacked.
Not a bad day today - Had a couple of really awful DYM's where twice in each game, I doubled up a short stack when they hit their 2 outer after getting it all in on the flop, ended up losing one of them despite having just under 6k chips in it one at one point - The blinds got up to 500/1k as well, which I've never seen before! Seemed to use up my daily dose of run bad in them 2 games, though, so I guess it was worth it.
Was about 20p in profit until half an hour or so ago, realised I needed to get 9 points for the next level of C4P - Took a shot on an £11 DYM, got down to 4 handed, and the chip leader started having connection problems, eventually got blinded out. A win's a win, but a slightly hollow victory in them circumstances.
The end result is that I made £9.15 from Poker, received another (probably my last) £5.00 as part of the £1k welcome promotion, and made my target of 500 Poker points with only a few minutes to spare.
2) Only play £1.15 DYM's and Freerolls until back over £25 again (+ Forum HU) [Complete]
3) Progress as far as possible in Forum HU competition
4) Minimum 70% wins on £1.15 DYMs next month (min. 100 games) - If successful, try moving up to £2.25 Posted by EvilPingu
1) £47 + £5 due in C4P, so I think I'll give myself that one.
2) Already completed
3) Knocked out in Round 3

Need some feedback on this one, played a few games @ £2.25 and £3.30 today, ended up with something like Won 3, Lost 3 at £2.25 and Won 2, Lost 2 at £3.30 - Don't think I played particularly good or bad, with the exception of my misclick all-in UTG with 88, thankfully nobody called though lol
Last month, Won 49, Lost 30 at £1.15, so just over 62% of games won. Should I stay at £1.15 and complete my target above, or just go up to £2.25? Or maybe just look for easier tables @ £2.25?

Targets for December:
1) Increase bankroll to £250 by the end of December
2) Try to get into Top 150 STT players - Currently estimate I'll need 2,500 - 3,000 league points for this, have about 800 at the moment. 250-300 wins in £1.15 DYM's should be enough, hopefully.
3) Enter PLO freeroll whenever possible to build upon basic understanding of Omaha - Try to beat PB of 18th place.
4) Start taking notes on more players, more often.
5) Win 15 consecutive DYM's (Don't mind if I don't manage this, just something to aim for to make grinding less tedious. Current Record = 7)
Are you using the sharkscope tournament selector to help pick softer DYM's? might help your win %. Irishrover did and excellent DYM blog including tips on this last winter.

Nope, because I didn't know it even existed until reading this post - Wasn't expecting it to be free either!
I've read JohnConnor's blog, didn't know Irishrover did one too, will have to have a look for that later. Thanks for the help
Played a single £1.15 DYM yesterday, which I won. After midnight, played 2 tournaments, lost a race in one, the other one was a bit of a disaster, ended up on a table with someone who'd quadrupled up early on, and was just being super aggressive, I was card dead, got down to about 15 big blinds, got fed up and shoved, got called by the bully with 10 high and he flopped a straight.
Went to play some DYM's, found an £11 DYM which looked like good value, was even better value when I picked up kings twice and aces twice in the first 2 levels, and my opponents had big hands too. Ended up with over 7k chips, other guy had 3.5k, and 2 micro stacks. Was playing a £1.15 DYM at the same time, didn't play a single hand and won!
i remember watching that hand and my mouth just dropping when the card flipped over. nh. however in regards to that table, if i wasnt on all 5 NL4 tables running at tht point and there was 2 others i wouldnt have been there. Not really much value tbh.
Also one last thing a small bone. when we where 3 handed with a diff oppo who already proved to me anyways he was a fish you seemed intent on playing me OOP. Now im happy for you rto do this, but im suggesting in terms of take a step back for a few seconds, you have the dream seat on the table with posision on a Loose player but you almost seemed determined to stack me. To be honest i wasnt having a great session anyways so maybe i was good value lol. However on hand inparticular (if i can find it i will comment on - i cant)
anyways in this hand u raise SB with A8o i flat from BB. Flop came 5KQ with 2 spades. You check called, then donk lead a 5 on the turn. i flatted and river paired the K and it went check check.
Now on regards to that hand, you have the betting lead pre so id raise it up a little on the flop, niothing too much reo the flop. ok as it happens i had the nut flush draw so i probably at least call the flop. The c/c with no pair no draw then donk leading the turn makes so little sense and allows me to float to the river. As it happened i got great showdown value off that river, but should say any card but a K/Q come down im probably betting when you show further weakness on the river.

Trying to remember the hand - You had A9 I think and was a split pot? Will try and find it to post in here.

I thought about standing up a few times myself and probably should've in hindsight, I was just being lazy lol
Erm, yeah, I played this badly. As you said, should've bet on the flop. Don't really know why I check called. Came to my senses and realised I was only splitting the pot at best on the river, hence the check.
Been playing more NL4 and DYM's again. Made around £35 today, £17 at NL4 and the rest in DYM's. Also came 8th in the PLO Freeroll for £2. The amount of people that pay you off with top pair is incredible. Great fun, and I definitely play better in Hold'em if I'm multitabling as I'm concentrating on everything so much more.
Bankroll up to about £80, still owed £5 C4P too. With any luck, I should be over the £100 mark in the next couple of days
