    Just finished another session, 3 tables went really well with 1 table goin awful. I am posting 2 hands below, the first hand is the the one I would like some thoughts on, should I have bet flop? should I have just given up or was it worth a call on the turn? the villain had previously been overbetting sometimes with nothing and sometimes with 2nd pair......impossible to put him on any specific cards!! The second hand played itself but against the same villain to rub it in! Needless to say I didn't bother reloading, he would prob just have took another 4 quid off me lol

    Another losing session, could have been a lot worse but pulled a bit back at the end. Nearly every big hand was getting outdrawn......kk v q2, 32p raise, and 2 streets of 3/4 pot bets, the idiot was calling with the 2 on the board! what is the river a 2!!!!! then they bet 4p!!!!! comical! Not playing anymore tonight as I was starting to tilt slightly.

    Cash: -£3.43

    Starting br: £164.55
    Current br: £161.12

    That is 3 losing sessions in a row now.....must do better!

    Ok, played til I was too drunk over the weekend lol

    Overall I ended up in cash games but played a couple of mtts without success and also lost a couple of £3.30 dyms, I used to do ok at dyms but never seem to do well in them these days so I might stop playing them.

    Cash: +£4.18
    Mtt: -£3.25
    DYM: Lost 2 -£6.60

    Start br: £170.35
    Current br: £164.68

    Seems to be 1 step forward and 2 steps back recently, the cash is goin ok but I can't resist playing the odd mtt, just need to go deep in one!!

    Hi dude, I wasn't aware that Tikay had mentioned anything on the show lol but yeah I guess the name is pretty dull.

    Not sure what to call this thread though if I'm honest, I didn't even know people were reading it. Well my target is to get to 600 quid so I will rename it around that I guess!

    Had a small cash session before playing last nights dtd comp.  

    Managed to finish 4th in the totty to give my br a much needed kick in the right direction. I would just like to add that I am doing this diary mainly for my own benefit to try and install some discipline into my game, I make no apologies if it makes "**** grim" reading at times. No likey, no ready!

    That said I do post the occasional hand asking for advice and always appreciate any comments both good or bad.

    Cash: +£0.57
    Mtt: +£22.58
