In Response to Re: January Cash 4 Points thread..... : What we pay in rake is irrelevant. Rake is a tax we cant avoid. Its like saying whats the point of working overtime if youre just having to pay more tax? Its pretty simple, if i played this much last month or next month i get 3.6k~ in C4P, but this month i get 3.6k~+ £3k worth of stuff. Everybody wins. Sky rakes more, they give more of that rake back to me. Posted by offshoot
In Response to Re: January Cash 4 Points thread..... : Hows the progress so far then? And how many C4Ps do you get in an average month? Loving the thread guys : ) Posted by Poker_Fail
i get 16k points in an average month. This month i have 25k so far.
Started playing after work. Got a nice DYM session with £50 profit + qualified to Roller.
Was playing really good I think. After almost 3h into Roller had a nice stack until this hand came.
Was in a BB for 500 and had KQc The SB flats and I make it 1500 and SB calls making pot 3000.
Flop comes Qh8s6h and SB goes all-in for 9000.... - I made a call (was 99,9% sure I'm well ahead).
SB showes 75c.... Turn 6, River 4 and he gets ther with a straight. Would be a chip leader but now was almost last, left with 10BB - Could still make a comeback if was playing my game but wasn't that Tilted for a long time and got out from tourney loosing 33<QQ to the same guy. Loved his post in a chat box as well - "went all-in cause if I bet and you raise I would have to fold" LOL.
Anyway stopped playing and went to sleep. Have to work on a Tilt factor though.
Am around break even on cash today, maybe a small loss.
Wanted to get a big session in tonight but for some reason I don't feel well. Feel really dizzy. Twice I've mistakenly thought I had KK and AA when I had KQ and A4 (suited). So not gonna play cash for now
Am playing the tournies and hopefully this clears.
Played much worse rest of the day, and got out of it. Finished up with a small profit.
Stupid game.
Every day been mentioning whether I feel as though I've run good or bad (not sure I've actually put 'good' yet, but it's obviously there as an option).
It's a boring subject, along the same lines as bad beats (which I've mostly been careful to avoid listing), and I will not refer to it again.
I'm sure we all feel like we run worse than we should, but the reality is, given the playing volume required for 60,000 pts, it's highly likely we will be pretty close to EV.
Missed my target of 30k by quite a long way. But I didn't feel really well earlier so I missed 4/5 hours.
Down about 120 dor the day which I'm ok with Got 14 full days I can play so need to avg around 2.2/2.3k a day which tbh is what I'm doing now. Really don't want to let this go to the wire tho so really do need to bite the bullet and pick up the volume.
. Only pot I won was off another 50-100 reg who was doing the same as me and even that was a cooler AA v AK aipf haha. C4P Total - 25480 Posted by scotty77
Yesterday played some DYM's with a small profit and than evening tourneys which didn't go that well.
My MTT's since UKOPS are just not going well, I'm eaither getting unlucky (especially on the river) or going well and overplaying TPTK or over pair or going on tilt - I think that the volume of poker lately may be afecting my MTT game.
So today decided to grind just DYM's and skip MTT's so could have a nice evening with wife watching movies Finished whit a nice £135 profit...
If I was playing only DYM's this month I would be with a nice profit, but am down this month due to my horrible MTT performance... something to think about...
C4P Target: 10.000
C4P Current: 5.784
Tomorrow grinding more DYM's and definitely playing Primo...
very interesting thread guys especially for a micro stakes player can't believe the volume you're all putting in, much respect with the stamina needed I've done about 1300 at nl4 before and I was tired big time. Managed over a 1000 3 months running at the end of last year, but don't know how you guys manage it month on month.
points this month - 50!! work has meant can't play much this month but just cashed again in a tournie - the last free entry one for my points earned last month. came 60th out of 800 odd so not bad. got done on river - one race too many! still so far a profitable month but don't think I'll reach 500 this month!LOL
Playing at capacity, in terms of number of tables, is ok when things are going well, as they did in week 1.
This week hasn't been so good, and it's impossible to sort things out on the hoof, with no time to think between clicks. My game's pretty leaky at the best of times, but has been the full sieve the last couple of days.
Sacrificed a few points tonight, went down to 7 - 8 tables, also went back through some hands from earlier, and even found time to have the Mastercash show on in the background (wasn't Stuart Rutter very, very good).
Chilled session, and a winner. Made a couple of mistakes, one marginal, one glaring, but overall played better.
Managed a rare winning session! I think I should have won a lot more, was struggling to concentrate towards the end, played quite a few hands terribly and lost alot the in last hour or so.
Lost a bit today. Was a lot worse at one point tho so happy that I managed to get back what I did. Hit the half way mark. Still very very long to go. The next 15k is gonna be the toughest IMO.
