Suprised how brief your sessions are, is this because you are busy? or you can only concentrate up to a certain point then you quit before you start losing? Posted by YOUNG_GUN
Have just found that my concentration generally slips a bit after about 2 hours. If I'm feeling good or the games are really good I try and play longer
Hi Rolfus will be interesting to hear about your poker sessions, you sound quite a layed back person i dont know why! maybe its the way you write lol. Are you quite layed back when it comes to poker and do you think it helps your game or are you a 16 table mad man when you play cash? Anyways GL at the tables and with your diary 0:)

Yeah I would say I'm pretty laid back and some people would call me horizontal
I find being laid back is good for my poker game as it helps to stop me from tilting. I try to take my time when making a decision but if your playing 16 tables you have to be a bit mental/frantic. I'm pretty quick to go to the thinking ''It's not going my way right now, I'll take a break and come back to it''
I think you just have to play to your strengths and work on your weaknesses(emotionally/mentally). So if you have a high tempo don't try and overthink things at the table just go with your gut...but then your going to have to put in a lot of work away from the tables, reviewing HH's etc
Hi Interesting Diary, just wondering what's your way of withdrawing your profits since you play professionally. Do you just have a set bankroll eg £5000 and anything above that after the week/month you withdraw?
Also if you do use this method what do you do if you have a big downswings just drop down the levels or deposit and continue as normal
Me and Jakally played HU for a little while when the tables broke down. He eventually got the better of me when we got in TT vs KK but there was this HH which I thought was interesting....
I check/call the flop with what is probably the best hand and also has decent equity (an Ace, Gutshot to the wheel and backdoor flush draw)
On the turn I think I very likely have the worst hand so with the picked up flush draw I still have a gutshot draw and the fact that I could quite easily have a 3 as I had been calling a lot of his minraises....I check/raise
He calls...woops I think it's very unlikely that he has a 3 and I would have to be on a very random bluff for me to be bluffing and his Tx to be good so I carry on with my bluff....I overbet just to make sure
When you raise the turn, you pretty much only have 55, and 3x as value hands, so I planned to call turn, call river
.
Levelled myself on the river, when you overbet, and decide there are so few hands that you can take this line, and be bluffing the river, that I'm not ahead often enough to call - even though your value range is v.narrow.
Not seen you overbet many / any rivers before, which was obviously a factor in changing my mind.
Nice bluff skillz, defo repping da A3, did jakally have a bare 10? would have been a sik call. Id say he has a 10 or overpair to board although less likely still think he fods here with QQ
wp
What sort of range did you put jakally on? i can understand if you dont want to give this away as obviously he reads this thread.
On a poker related question, what live events are you planning to play this year? any biggish ones or GUKPT/UKIPT and so on
another nice read, sounds like ur doing very well tom, i'll pose the same question to you as i did to tommyD; bestest high, worstest low on the tables? Posted by yoyo
Best high was meeting me, lowest low is that he still knows me

I generally just withdraw as and when and try to maintain about 20 buyins for the stakes I'm playing(for online roll...not total bankroll) If I go on a downswing I just drop down the stakes as I hate redepositing based on the theory that if you don't redeposit you can't go bust. I also find it helps to just build back up your confidence as thats the biggest thing thats hit imo

I presume this means poker in general....
Best high was winning a tournement in Killarney, Ireland for €80k (I got £65k after paying off some action swaping)
Worst low was losing a £10k pot and omaha screwing me out of 110buyins over the last 18months grrrrr...

Put him on 66+, T9+ as I basically don't check/raise anything worse than 3x so if I'm bluffing 66 is good right?
Well DTD is my local so am going to try and play as many 500 deepstacks as possible. Haven't really looked at schedule for year but 1k events are pushing my limits a bit at the mo so will try some satellites and see what happens. Will deffinately be talking on here about any events I do play in!

[ x ] Not sure i'd ever fold river if I got there in Neils spot.
Basically had a day of yesterday as was my Mums birthday. Need to get a decent catchup with the points this afternoon/evening....reckon I can get a good 4hour session in from about 5-9pm. Had a very quick session yesterday(to stop the withdrawal shakes) and made £14
