Lambert180 ----- Life After The Grind -------

Lambert180

I ended up having dinner about 8pm, didnt get round to looking at the lobby till about 8:30pm and didn't fancy late regging the ME so gave that a miss and decided to just do a cash grind instead.

Started about 9:30pm and finished about 11:30pm playing 6 tables (5x 30NL and 1 x 20NL), pretty disappointed with my C4P total, sure it's less than normal for that volume and I wasn't playing any tighter than normal, maybe I was just in less big pots than normal. Either way profit is more important and I made another £29.42 profit so can't complain.

I like to try to stick a hand in here from most sessions so here's one of me just being golden... WAL

Cheers Daz and Devon.

I've decided seen as tonight is the last chance to get into TSP and it's obviously something I'd love to do, I'm gonna give it a good bash. I've played 2 x £6.60 direct sats so far with no success. Then I played the £13 Semi, it got quite a big field and had 12 seats + cash on offer. The structure is very fast with very shallow stacks so once you get to like 100/200 you basically can't afford to lose a single hand without it seriously denting your chances. I was doing well with about 30 left but got it in AJ v A3 and couldn't hold, never really recovered from that point and ended up shipping Q9s into JJ to finish 21st (I think).

So lost £26.20 on them, and I've decided I'm gonna just BI direct to the Final for £60

I did start a cash session just before but had to stop after only 30 mins cos I've gotta go do something now. I did manage to cooler Dohh in this short period so made a £14.39 profit. Will probably be playing a few cash tables alongside the TSP final.

Pleease rungood!!

Just a quick update to say I busted 38th out of I think 64 in the TSP thing. Pretty tilted by my own stupidity. My exit hand I minraise from 20xBB w/ AKo ready to snap off a shove, 1 seat to my left clicks it back, folds back round to me and I just KNOW it's literally KK+ but does that stop me shipping? Noooo of course not lol... villian shows AA, gg me.

Was already slightly tilted by the fact I was playing 2 cash tables on the side and got it aipf with Dohhhh, AA v QQ and he binked again. So it's only twice I think I've got it in pre with Dohhh, AA v QQ and KK v QQ and I've lost 'em both.

Been slowing scraping back some of the damage on these 2 tables but now I got the TSP out the way, gonna load up more cash tables and do a big grind.

DO NOT TILT PAUL!!

Lambert180

Hello All,

I feared this might be a nightmare-ish post after being a bit annoyed earlier but thankfully it isn't. FWIW btw, I mentioned in the post above about getting it aipf w/ AA v QQ and losing, I got the favour returned later getting it in QQ v KK and the board running out 89TJx so balance is restored

Another good session tonight, slight decrease in my roll overall for the day but that's courtesy of the TSP satellites and then buying in direct to it. This session I made a profit of £38.30

Here's a nice hand that happened tonight, not a particularly big one but a very nice flop all the same...

Hey Paul,

Fancy a couple of hus games just now?

Lambert180

Ok sure, if you go register a £1 Turbo, I'll find you

(or whatever type u wanna play)

LARSON7

Ill set up a table just now

Lambert180

Well Larson just owned me, not sure what the finishing score was 6-4 to him maybe?

First time I've played any HU SnGs for ages but what have Sky done to the Turbo games! Turbo used to start @ 10/20 with 5 min blinds, now they start at 15/30 with 2 min blinds!!

Was good fun though Larson, will have to do it again sometime

I can't believe you done me with a straight out on the board haha and you had the nuts, Nice hand!

For sure we'll do it again sometime.

c/c turn depending on bet size

Lambert180

Yeah I thought that afterwards, I'm behind to too many hands and pretty much don't make any of them fold on the turn.

Lambert180

I decided to get in a few MTTs tonight, played the £33 ME, the £5 mini and the £11 BH that started @ 7:30pm. Did absolutely terrible in them all. I'm sure I probably missed out on some opportunities to chip up without having a hand, but just didn't hit a flop in any of them. The only hands I can remember winning were getting it in flipping. Bust all 3 without getting a head in any so that was -£49.50 sigh.

Then I got in a bigr cash grind, started off playing 6tables of 30NL and later started 7tabling. Played from about 9pm til just after midnight and made a very respectable £84.14 profit so that covered my MTTs and then some.

Biggest pot of the night, using the old 'people don't fold FHs' theory, I went for the max'...

I also got a lot of points so I'm just a badger's nodge behind my target now. Working on the basis of needing 333 points per day, I'm now only about 150 behind target which should be easy enough to catch up on.

Pretty sigh how much bigger my BR would be if I hadn't spent like £150 on MTT BIs so far this month with zero return, but if ya don't take the shots, ya don't get the big binks

nice shove

you can bet more ott though. he's probably just folding all his air ott to a second barrel regardless of what you bet, and he's not folding 66-99 or a pair of 10s if you bet £1.50 more.

Decided to play the main and mini again tonight seen as it's the cheap one and it's fast. The jackpot dream was over very early, bust about 15 minutes into the mini.

Just bleurgh. I busted about 15 mins after this when blinds were up to 60/120, someone open limps AQ on my BB. I flop 2nd pr on an A-high board so ship over his flop bet cos I've only got about 10xBB. That's 3 MEs now in April and I've yet to make it past 9pm in any

Well after a pretty rubbish main and mini, I managed to run alot better on the cash tables.

Not much to say about tonight really, ran quite well in flips against <40xBB shorties. Finished up with a profit of £78.16 which more than made up for the £16.50 I lost through MTTs.

It didn't all go well though....

Broke the £1300 mark despite ploughing lots of money into MTTs and heading towards the 3k mark for points, will definitely get ove 3k tomorrow. I had no idea what a grind I was in for saying I'd go for Priority this month!! Looking forward to May already to take a little break.

Hey Paul,

Nice 1 having a go at these big tournies, just think about it one big win and thats your bankroll through the roof lol

Outside that, playing cash, your bank roll is still growing at a brilliant rate.

Outstanding stuff, well done mate
