    Update played the DTD last night, finished deep but felt I played it too cute or maybe just bad! and payed the price with two outdraws

    I guess even though I was correct in my thinking, still best to bash the all in button sometimes )

    A8 - shove or fold pre, callig isn't an option, well unless you like c/f ing most flops.

    AQ - nh

    Think both hands are easy shoves pre, must have been over thinking and trying to make bad players give me chips with worse

    Especially the A8 hand, I knew oppo would c bet after limping btn – lol

    And would also donate chips with 2/3 rd pr

     

    AQ – looking for someone to shove over the top pre, so not likely – lol

    Like thanks for loose call from the bb but hey come on

     

    Like I said – smash the all in button is good

    3 max on my laptop –  can only handle 3 on my laptop before it slows down

     

    can do 8+ on my pc – but it’s unsociable  for the other half  if I am upstairs

     

    If I ever get to grind a certain level on a less recreational basis then I am sure I would be multi tabling 6+ on the pc

    Disguise your hand I guess, bit of balance of the range type thingy

    You hold ak & you get AJ to pay you off on a A108 wet flushing flop then how can we say balance is not good at any level where you oppo is semi ok to be betting/getting it in with what they perceive to be the best of it

    If your game is to only 3 bet AK then I would lol at you longer and harder tbh for being o so predictable
    Same could be said if your never 3 betting 910s )

    IMO

    trust me i 3 bet a lot wider than that.
    :-)
    problem i find is that if the button raises (which he should unopened) and the sb calls then 3 betting from the bb can be  sooo very obvious. if they are just playing postion you can have them fold on you.
    other postions i think you should be raising 100% of the time.

    Depends how good btn is and if btn knows that you knows that he knows then you could 3 bet worse than what btn actual hand is then 4 betting btn becomes bad v bb 3 betting range !

    THE DAY HAS COME

    After all the hard work I have put into my game - today is the day I would like to announce that I have finally reached a milestone

    If you have been following this from the start then you will know I made my last deposit of £80 in June 2011 and vowed to claw back the £900 I had sank into SKY from 2009.

    After losing some cash this eveing and running bad in the DYM's, with my BR down to 740ish- I entered the £11 BH
    I binked 3rd (still went out on an outdraw, I'll post it!) and picked up:
    £141.22 + £50.53 Head Prizes

    So currently:
    Current roll 19/1/2012
    £923
    C4P 1563
    £23 in profit on Sky - I AM A WINNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What now ?

    To be honest I am not sure, I may just end this here on a good note, withdraw it all and have a nice holiday --

    then again I DON'T THINK SO

    If anyone has any suggestions then please let me know
    Shall I just carry on ! What level cash :S

    Thanks for all your support

    run golden people, if I can do it, anyone can )

    Yeah do that - One less shark on the NL4

    But seriously- just read your opening thread and considering it was only just over 6 months since you were a losing player , you,ve made £500 quid and are obviously enjoying it

    I,d maybe step up to NL4 and NL10 and just play 2 tables for a trial period - You know your BRM well and see where it takes you . I always like to try a few staelites if im making a profit for that big one one day. Keeps it intereseting. Just gotta free 22 dollar token for a £300 k gtd - playin it tommorow
