The daily grind is so much more fun when you can win significant amounts of money, as opposed to playing for hours and only getting £5 and a few Poker Points. Stepped up to £11 DYM's now, but playing any games up to £33 if they're not full of regs, and I don't really feel out of my comfort zone doing so.
Need to find out if I'll be home over Easter, if so, I'll definitely be having a go at a few of the Super Roller satellites. Also tempted to try qualifying for SPT Cardiff, loved SPT Brighton and want to play live again. Gutted it's not sooner though as Leeds are playing away vs. Cardiff the week before the SPT...Sigh.
Decided that with my Roller bink, I was going to splash about on the televised Master Cash tables. Ended up £124 up, although I got a bit lucky a few times barreling, getting called down, then binking on the river.
Above post shld b Tues 20th of March, I think? (there is always one!) Good to see things are goin well 4u. What is your long term plans? GL Posted by DEL560
I'm always forgetting to update the date Usually manage to ninja edit before anyone else notices though :P
Long term plans at the moment - Nothing too long term really, planning to play in the Super Roller but other than that, keep playing the DYM's and building up my bankroll at the moment.
Master Cash 7, -£113.71, played badly and ran even worse, had flush vs. flush for about £40, and Q9 vs. KK where I put my opponent on a flush draw on a 9 high, monochrome board. I was sort of right, but he had another king to go with his flush draw, lol.
Got up stupidly early to watch cars sitting on the start grid for ages while it rained lots in Malaysia, so stopped playing for tonight as I'm knackered. Decent profit today
Good read keep up the good work .I was one of squadies on your table at spt on your right . Look forward to seeing you at cardiff gl at tables Posted by goldenb238
Cheers Not sure whether I'll be at Cardiff or not, haven't played any satellites yet, but will try to be there if I can.
Missed out on the cash in the ME, finished 50th (30 got paid). Raise from big stack, I had AJ in the big blind with 10BB left, shoved, called by K7, king on the river. Would've been right back in it if my hand had held up, but didn't do anything wrong. Also ran my AJ into Scotty77's AK, flop came QT4, J on the turn at which point I jumped out of my chair, then sat down again when I realised opponent had the straight, lol Didn't lose any money, great fun, and got enough poker points to push me up to the next C4P level, so can't complain Had a hand, blind vs. blind, I raised with A7, oppo shoved (as he did every time I raised the small blind), I called, he turned over T9s, knocked him out, and he sat in the chat box for a while, calling me a bingo player and all that, which made me laugh, so got to 50th by playing bingo apparently, wonder where I could've ended up if I'd actually played poker instead, will give that a go next time :P Brilliant structure, will definitely try to play the next one, hoping it's within my bankroll. Off to play some DYM's for a bit Posted by EvilPingu
Good luck Evil. Nice to see how you're doing and may give me some ideas if iever fancy challenging myself one day. These Cry Baby's on site really are just making fools of themselves. Why can't they at least put it down to variance for a bad beat, welcome a bad play as info for the future on a player or just reccognise that they're are probably just tilting themselves. Maybe we should start a thread for Cry Baby putdowns. I saw a lovely one whe i first started playing on site 9 months ago......... ........ .........it just said "Taxi!!" and i could just imagine all others at the table giggling as Mr Cry Baby ran off andkicked his cat!!......priceless!

Indeed - They don't put annoy me though, if anything they just put me on positive tilt 'cause I'm too busy laughing at their stupidity )

Monday 26th March
Woke up stupidly early again, this time to watch the England v Sri Lanka test match, and could barely get any games running at £11 and nothing higher than that, so played mostly £5.50 instead.
£3.30 DYM - W0 L1, -£3.30
£5.50 DYM - W6 L5, -£0.50
£11 DYM - W2 L0, +£18.00
12:40 - £10k BH Sat (£1.60) - 10/23. I don't think I've ever been more card dead in my life than I was in this tournament. Picked my spots and almost doubled my starting stack just pinching blinds but inevitably, I ran into someone with a hand after a while. 3 minute blinds makes these a crapshoot tbh.
----
Bankroll: £2,498.23
Today: +£12.60
C4P: 1,653 - Need to try and get to 2k, only a difference of like, £4, but something to aim for.

Cheers, and better late than never Actually spent most of this afternoon playing DYM's and doubling up the short stacks at every opportunity, so I'm sure on current form you'd crush me :')
Really, really weird day today. Ran terribad in the lower games that I played but the higher I went, the more I ran like Usain Bolt, which left me with a healthy profit. Also got a ton of C4P, looking forward to getting my C4P now as it's going to be a decent amount, whereas before it was a case of "Hurry up and give me my fiver so my spreadsheet doesn't look funny".

Took a break and decided to splash about on the Master Cash tables in the evening:
Master Cash 4, +£38.04
Master Cash 7, -£94.23
Really swingy hour or so on Master Cash 7, donked off £100 trying to triple barrel bluff someone off TPGK and a flush draw (which eventually missed) in a 4-bet pot with 10 high (I had a gutshot...what else am I supposed to do, like, fold?!), then won it back with top pair + nut flush draw, before getting 120bb in with JJ vs QQ on a 10 high flop, in another 4-bet pot.
Should've folded really, and the most annoying thing was that I was going to leave the orbit before and forgot to press the "Stand" button, so paid my blind and decided to play one last orbit. Sigh. In the end, forgot to press the stand button about a million times at the end of each orbit and ended up making a couple of quid back.
Although the swings don't bother me, probably better to build my roll some more, play and beat the stakes below before going on NL50 and NL100 Master Cash tables as I've kinda bypassed NL20 - NL40, which I probably shouldn't do. Been put off by every NL20-NL40 being filled by the same players whenever I've looked in the lobby, presumably playing uber tight and waiting to cooler each other.
