do u mean 4 me to raise carl? guessing u do. as i know dan tb is very aggro, once he bets 3/4 pot or so, on flop,i actually did put him on the run. so i knew i was behind with my trip queens. then when he bets again after i,ve hit the world, a call was all that was needed as thought he,d go all-in on river,as he did. played it perfect!!!
true mate, but u,ve just said it,"against him" got to give me some credit i think, i did get his stack. but i know what u mean. that,s where it really does pay to know your man, and i make notes all the time as i am playing,because we all have betting patterns even the top players,as i,ve just shown. that,s why i do mix up my bet sizes alot, as i,m sure alot of players do or should imo. anyway, hands gone, devonfish 1 dan tb 0 :-)
yeh, c4p used 2 make 4 points per table per hour, now it,s only 2 points. seems rubbish in comparison, but as long as you are making over the 500 a month it,s still something,£4 think u need to be making anything over 1500 points to be better off,as b4 up to 1999 was worth £15, now that would b worth £19.99. think that,s correct...lol still getting used to it myself.

yeah thought it had gone down some played 5 tables for an hour last night only went up like 7 points was wondering if i just hadnt played enough hands but clearley not.
lost £25.38 sessions played 22 won 16 +£94.87 lost 6 -£57.85
cash b/roll £37.02 b/roll £442.70
from playing like a a god to playing like a dog. ran badly played badly enough said!
going to have to re-access after playing until the end of the month. as playing is so up and down from day 2 day. even though i,ve just lost i am not giving in as i do know these down-swings happen. i could post up some hands but some are just laughable,players staying in 4 in-side gut shots 4 example and hitting them. i,m sure u,ve all been there,got the t-shirts etc, so i won,t even go there.
tomorrow,s another day as they say so sure i,ll be back. at least i,m hoping this is just about as bad as it gets. well lets hope so anyway.
only consolation is, i know i,ve always got dym,s to fall back on, so Dudeskin,make the most of me being away, i could be back sooner than you think...lol
i might be losing my hair my teeth and my mind, but at least i,ve not lost my sense of humour!!! YET
just about getting over the other night. played a few dym,s earlier, just had 2 get away from cash tables 4 a while. played 10 w6 l 4 won £3.00
forced myself back 2 cash tonight, won £2.02...phew sessions played 23 won 17 +£96.89 lost 6 -£57.85
cash b/roll +£39.04 b/roll £447.72
going 2 try same again, when playing 2 sessions dym,s during day, cash at night. confident with my dym play, so hoping if i can continue winning these at least if i do have any more losing cash sessions, which i know will obviously happen, the dym,s will help to at least keep b/roll healthy.
Unlucky on that recent bad session mate, at least you have the security that it doesn't make up a MASSIVE chunk of your roll so it shouldn't tilt you etc. And overall you're up almost 10 BI's at NL4 which is pretty good by anyones standards so just keep plugging away imo .
Oh and I'm having a go at the £5.50's for a bit now so will hopefully not be playing you at all lol
thanks m8, good luck @ £5.50 let me know how u get on. yes,as u say still doing ok. like we,ve always said, as long as u r rolled 4 the right level it doesn,t kill you does it. it,s only a minor set back. still taught me 2 walk away from a table in future not stay trying 2 chase lost money, as i only lost badly on 1 table(£17) to a very loose player hitting everything.
playing freeroll in a mo +some dym,s, at least i shouldn,t run into you...hopefully...lol
although i have not reached my target of £500 bankroll i did manage to win £88(up-date;in total,with c4p,etc) revised cash winings + £48.55 so not the £88 as first detailed still a profit though,so still very happy with that. and finish with a b/roll of £460.
so ,not a bad effort. (also,i did learn from it that i could play cash at this level, and make a small profit in the process, and not simply come out level, as i had done previously.so all in all,very happy...:-)
the reason i have finished this challenge, as follows
today ,i have withdrawn £400 from my sky poker account, to use towards buying a new computer,an intel core i7 2600k 3.4 Ghz 8GBddr3ram 500tb hard drive, for anyone interested. they retail in the shops at around £750 i have also added a dedicated graphic card,at £50 extra. and windows 7,£80 extra buying on-line from Component Warehouse.co.uk wait 4 it...... £579.99
so, what next. just chilling atm, playing 7pm freeroll.
waiting for new computer, end nxt week. start a new challenge i guess, as i now only have £60 to play with i think it will be another dym thingy, will have a little think about it.
reasons 4 buying a new computer, simple, multi-tabling. i am planning to start off playing 9 dym tables somewhere between £1 and £3 levels. and go from there, hopefully if i am able to build up my b/roll again, i will just keep on increasing number of tables i play until i get to to around 18/20 tables.
as for playing cash? not too sure, i will still visit tables i,m sure at some point, it,s not as if they are going anywhere,are they.
anyway, to finish, i would just like to thank everyone that took the time and effort in helping me along the way with my challenge. you were all very kind and willing to help me, and i really am very greatfull to you all. i am not going to name names, as you all know who you are. i would also like to thank everyone that read my reports and thank you for all your comments...
to all of you players with your own diaries/challenges going atm, i wish you luck. keep posting too,as i enjoy reading them as i,m sure does everyone else.
it was fun it was hard some nights it was up and down it was a nightmare trying to paste that b****y hand lol but, above all.. it was enjoyable

guessing u do.
as i know dan tb is very aggro,
once he bets 3/4 pot or so,
on flop,i actually did put him on the run.
so i knew i was behind with my trip queens.
then when he bets again after i,ve hit the world,
a call was all that was needed
as thought he,d go all-in on river,as he did.
played it perfect!!!
:-)
happy days.
devon
but u,ve just said it,"against him"
got to give me some credit i think,
i did get his stack.
but i know what u mean.
that,s where it really does pay to know your man,
and i make notes all the time
as i am playing,because we all have betting patterns
even the top players,as i,ve just shown.
that,s why i do mix up my bet sizes alot,
as i,m sure alot of players do or should imo.
anyway,
hands gone,

the trying 2 cash@nl4 challenge is over....
although i have not reached my target of £500 bankroll
i did manage to win £88(up-date;in total,with c4p,etc)
revised cash winings + £48.55
so not the £88 as first detailed
still a profit though,so still very happy with that.
and finish with a b/roll of £460.
so ,not a bad effort.
(also,i did learn from it that i could play cash at this level,
and make a small profit in the process,
and not simply come out level,
as i had done previously.so all in all,very happy...:-)
the reason i have finished this challenge,
as follows
today ,i have withdrawn £400 from my sky poker account,
to use towards buying
a new computer,an intel core i7 2600k 3.4 Ghz 8GBddr3ram 500tb hard drive,
for anyone interested.
they retail in the shops at around £750
i have also added a dedicated graphic card,at £50 extra.
and windows 7,£80 extra
buying on-line from
Component Warehouse.co.uk
wait 4 it......
£579.99
so,
what next.
just chilling atm,
playing 7pm freeroll.
waiting for new computer,
end nxt week.
start a new challenge i guess,
as i now only have £60 to play with
i think it will be another dym thingy,
will have a little think about it.
reasons 4 buying a new computer,
simple,
multi-tabling.
i am planning to start off playing 9 dym tables
somewhere between £1 and £3 levels.
and go from there,
hopefully if i am able to build up my b/roll again,
i will just keep on increasing number of tables i play
until i get to to around 18/20 tables.
as for playing cash?
not too sure, i will still visit tables i,m sure at some point,
it,s not as if they are going anywhere,are they.
anyway,
to finish,
i would just like to thank everyone that took the time and effort
in helping me along the way with my challenge.
you were all very kind and willing to help me,
