    In Response to Re: Rancid and his Roll (Diary of a losing recreational player) : I am a BR nit ) NL20 is a long way off, plus I would have to iron out some leaks first ! I prefer to beat the level on a consistent basis then move up. So if I need to move back down again, winning would not be a problem.

    What ever suits you then, I am one of the worst for BRM : )

    I personally think NL20 is easier than NL10 + 8, but that might just be because I have no patience and like to 3bet a lot with junk (And noone folds at those levels!!) :D

    Good luck!

    do you ever play during the day rather than evening as I am having difficulty getting a nl8 table and was wondering as to the standard? is nl10 similar to nl8/nl4? is it worth by-passing nl8? my roll is a bit less than yours.
    Posted by walesboy

    No I work during the day ) well sometimes !! I have heard it's nutz or nothing during the day, play is so tight.
    I would say NL8/NL10 are very similar, it's not the level so much but the table selection
    Don't play the TAG REGS, find some tables with wide/passive/loose players
    Because most tables are full just join all waiting lists and as they come up accept or decline, or identify the tables you want to join and watch-wait

    I do think NL10 has more TAG REGS, if you do find a soft table it's like printing money, unless they suck out on you )

    Played some NL8/NL10

    Nothing much to report
    Found NL10 to be very slow, NL8 seems to be more laggy
    Any tips on beating NL10 would be nice, finding it very slow and a lot of cold decks/coolers
    Seems to be filled with TAG REGS waiting for hands
    Very tempting to go back to NL4, so much easier )

    Played a couple of MTT's - no cash - getting no breaks in MTT's at the moment
    Undecided about tonight, may play mini open and NL8 and search for soft NL10 tables !!
    May just rock n roll and if I fly upwards then great, if I fall below 400 then at least I tried )

    Thinking it’s ok to make up here from the SB

    I find the flat to my flop raise really annoying, I have no notes on this player

    Have no idea if oppo is good to enough to float me on flop, I very much doubt that kind of float at this level !

    Flat can only mean draw ? Why does oppo not want to get it in on flop :S

    Yeah b/f turn is best, even thinking c/r turn but then I am bluffing right so I opted to c/c and maybe fill up or get oppo to slow down because oppo could have a K right ?

    Played mini open, nothing much doing

    3xNL8 - started badly down to around £400 - binked set J's v AA and started to run better
    Had FH's and Quads but no pay day v 250 bb stack, what the **** are they flatting 3 bets with :S
    Better table selection so it paid off, too many shorties though - pain  when you see they have not got full stacks
    Just need to cut out some leaks early, seem to be in rush early on in the seesion to get something going

    Quick update

    Playing mainly NL8/10
    some MTT's no cash, couple of DYM's -
    I know I said I would not play DYM/MTT, but I just can't help it )
    I guess I just need something to break up the grind, and it does stop the boredom
    Funny thing is if did not play any MTT/DYM I would be another £20 up
    But hey this is why I started playing cash in the first place, to finace my MTT's
    Speculate to acumalate and all that jazz

    EDIT:


    Not a very good day, getting beaten by everything - seemed like I could not win a hand
    oppo's turning up with sets, quads, str's, flushes on the river - you name it

    o well back to the grind, try and get it back up
    At least the hours put in got me over 2000 C4P +£30 for month when it comes
