Played a few DYMs, first losing day of the month, only a few quid down though, so no big deal. Was stupid o'clock and hardly anything running, hence the unusual game selection The action soon died out completely, I spent the night ordering about a million university prospectuses instead, so I expect to get woken up by the postman sticking several large, heavy book things through the letterbox every day for the next week or two, lol.
If anyone is reading this, wake me up when it's stopped raining at Edgbaston please :P
£2.25 DYM - W0 L2, -£4.50 (This level is so rigged, lol. Think I've got something like a -20% ROI on this level)
Didn't play at all - Was going to play the new £7.77 tournament, and Jaegerbomb + Drumahai's birthday tournament, but I was too busy sleeping :P
Friday 8th June
With the Euro 2012 All In Freeroll promotion, I decided that I'd be stupid to miss out on the chance of some free money by not having enough Poker points, plus I haven't done any proper grinding this month, so up really early this morning to play some DYMs. After two hours and only 10 DYMs, I quickly remembered why morning sessions fail - Nobody's online, and two tabling is boring.
On the bright side, two tabling meant I could play on full size tables, and see the chat box. I'm glad I could see the chat box, because the strangest thing ever happened - Someone called an all in with absolutely nothing on the flop, then when the other person asked why he called in the chat box, his reply was "You wrote 'Wow' I called because I wanted to see what you were wowing about".
Despite this, two tabling was tedious and not very profitable, so I stopped playing and checked my inbox, and was delighted to find that my computer has now been built and has entered a "testing and configuration" phase. Apparently this takes 1-2 days, the computer then goes into a "quality control" phase which also takes 1-2 days provided there is no issues, before it is dispatched. Hopefully, I'll have my new computer by the end of next week
Didn't play again for the rest of the day, as I got distracted by rain at Edgbaston, Euro 2012, and F1 Practice, so still another 140 points to get in the next couple of days to make sure I qualify for the All In freerolls.
Despite wanting to make sure I got into the Euro All In freerolls, I didn't play at all over the weekend. Therefore, I was up at 5am this morning to play and try to get to 500 C4P.
I managed to get into the freeroll, although it wasn't easy - I spent ages waiting for people to actually register as there was only a hundred or so people online at the time, and I only just reached 500 C4P by 9am. I played a few £11 DYMs during this time, which went mercifully well. I'm slowly making my £11 DYM graph look slightly more respectable, really tempted to move up sometime soon, although I've been running bad at £5.50 this month.
Great read Andy! Keep playing/posting & sod the exams! Only joking m8, you seem VERY level headed and I'm sure you'll make the right choices in life. pad
Just a short TV tarting session yesterday - Didn't go too well, and levelling myself into thinking that my AQ high was good against Arazi's Pocket 7s cost me a few quid. Also raised with AA UTG, and got five folds. On a TV table. Sigh.
On the bright side, when I checked my inbox before doing my diary update, I had an e-mail saying that my new computer has been dispatched, and it's next day delivery, so I'll almost certainly be getting that tomorrow and I'll be back on the tables again Wiiiiiiiiiii

Hi Evil,
I take it your loving the new computer, sat at the same table & you must be playing miniview as you have 10 on the go lol.
Good luck with it (but not too much when we are on the same table) :-)
And having my KK beaten with JJ & him flopping quads is a bit overkill :-(

Yeah, the new computer is awesome Except for the bit where I pressed what I thought was the button to open the disc thing, and it was actually a button to restart the computer. I had 9 or 10 tables open at the time too lol. Probably cost me a buyin or two.
That hand was cruel, lol, especially the King on the river to give you the house and rub it in. At least you can say you lost to quads though And if it's any consolation, I've just had Aces cracked by Quad 5s, lol

You are not fun to play against! I'm in serious need to make some adjustments vs you. Especially when you flop quad aces vs my KK lol. I would wish you gl, but you were on fire the tables I played you on haha.
As you may have noticed from the earlier posts on this page and the change of thread title, my new computer arrived earlier today. I've stuck a photo further up this page
My return to grinding today resulted in me earning more C4P that I have all month. Unfortunately, the results today weren't too great, mostly due to running terribly in my first session, monster hands being cracked by random bingo junk continually, which put me about a dozen buy-ins down. I started running better again later, but the whole session was damage limitation, really.
Felt as if I played okay for the most part, just need to learn to fold in them spots where my head says I'm beat but my hand feels like it's too big to fold and it makes no sense for me to not be winning the hand because the villain has a hand that they shouldn't ever have. An example of this is where someone limp/called my 5x raise, I had AQ, the board ran out A77x3, I value bet 3 streets and shove the river, thinking the villain is a massive fish and will probably have Ace Rag which he can't fold a lot of the time. Nope, he has 73o. At least I was half right.
I also need to stop bet/calling min raises on the river against players who only raise when they have the nuts, when I know it's the easiest bet/fold ever.
On the bright side, the amount of C4P earned today probably means I'll probably get a decent amount of my losses back at the end of the month anyway, so today isn't a disaster by any stretch of the imagination.
Interestingly, I found there was a strangely high amount of Quads out today, too - I flopped Quad Kings twice, Quad Aces, Quad 5s, had Aces cracked by Quad 5s all in pre, plus I got TT v AJ all in pre, the other guy flopped trips and turned Quad Aces. Quads everywhere today. Probably won't see Quads again for the rest of the year now, lol. Variance ftw.

That was the one where you folded on the river and I showed, right? Don't remember many of the DYM hands that I play 'cause most of them are fairly standard, but I remember un-ticking the "Hide winning hands" box for that one, lol.
hi again ep, i,ve ordered a new 27" monitor myself today,should arrive b4 nxt wed. so even more tables 4me 2....hooooray. lol gl m8. dev Posted by devonfish5
