Nice one, I'd imagine the £70 was a pretty good hang-over cure. Maybe the runbad is over? I'd avoid doing it again though, you might bust your roll next time! Posted by GaryQQQ
It did ease my sore head earlier....I was an idiot though but got away with it!
I'm hoping my downswing is over, played 3 mtts tonight, the bh semi and £2.50 vegas sats were unsuccessful but just finished 2nd in a £250 gtd for 50 quid.....my cards were holding for once!!

Nothing much to report, played numerous mtt's without success, Grimsby's charge to the conference play offs stuttered with a defeat!!! The only upside was AVB getting his marching orders!
Gonna play a couple of mtt's tonight, run well all!

Hi Waller02 Im new tothe site and game (less than a year) and wondered how you are getting on. I enjoyed reading your diary as i'm just getting interested in the community etc. I got the impression in your diary that br was sacred and enjoyment wasn't top of your list. Yes success with one brings the other but improvement and application can provide both. A lack of confidence was evident and this is me , a relative novice talking. How are you playing now then? Good luck and hope to see you around the tables. cheers Steve aka profman15

Hi Steve, thanks for your post.
Yeah my br is sacred because of the fact I never want to have to reload again. Other people will not adhere to br management as they might not be bothered about reloading all the time, but in my mind the game then becomes an expensive hobby rather than a profitable one. I built a br of 30 quid up to 2.5k over the 3yrs I have been playing with good br management. I withdrew a lot and left 600 quid in 6 months ago, this has dwindled down to where I am now. Partly because I became over confident and bought into mtt's that would significantly damage my br.
This is why I have started to seriously manage my roll again. As for the enjoyment factor, I still love playing or I wouldn't bother. The grim title and occasional downhearted post are all tongue in cheek. Of course there are days when I don't enjoy playing but when that happens I stop playing for a few days and I'm soon eager for a game again.
As for the confidence, you may be right as a bad run can affect your confidence but I wouldn't say it was shot to pieces as I know I can final table and win mtt's.
I am strictly playing small stakes games that are well within my roll, trying to improve my game and hopefully get my br increasing again. My br is slowly starting to go in the right direction again so I will just stick at it I guess!!
Thanks again for your post, What games are you playing then? There is a good comp on the forum on Monday nights, The DTD forum comp. 3 mtts, total buy in £5.50 with some weekly and monthly prizes on offer.
Well had an AWFUL 2 days since my last post. Thought my downswing was over how wrong i was.
Had a few sessions playing nl8 and lost numerous buy ins, the mtts are going even worse. The hand below sums up how I am running at the minute and for that reason I am having a few days off!! lol
Can anyone reading this tell me what the odds of this happening are?? Worst cooler I have had since I can remember!!!!

What a flop! Horrible doesn't describe it. Waller you're a good player in my book, a few days off will do the trick and hopefully a bit of run good.
Well, I was meant to be having a break....but it got to the evening and I was bored and seeming as I wasn't doing a lot wrong the past 2 days I thought I would play a couple of mtts.
Glad I did though because I had a cash in the mini BH followed by this.....
waller027080001£88.50 + £29.93 Head Prizes + 20 League Points13£8.22 Phew, took down the 600 gtd bh, not bad for a £2.30 buy in and a MUCH needed win! It rounds off a good weekend, the mother in law had the kids so me and the missus could have some "romantic" time and the mighty mariners won to consolidate their charge for play offs in the conference.
haven't posted for a while but haven't played a great deal.
on sunday i treated myself to the primo semi and came fairly close but not close enough. played the dtd on monday night and only managed a min cash in one of the mtts.
stuck a fiver on a "dead cert" at cheltenham (according to my mate), was a "dead cert" alright, to finish at the back end of the field!
off work tomorrow so gonna play the doublestack semi, have a few beers and watch the footy
