Dev i know what its like running bad is just one of them things, at least you were playing within your bank roll unlike some people........

hi Gary, cheers m8, yeah,horrible though isn,t it, wouldn,t mind but felt that i,d played ok. never mind another day so will decide what 2 do laters. gl m8 dev
Hi Devfish I've played against you several times and your game looks solid so hang in there till the run good turns up. GL with your challenge. achill. Posted by achill
hi achill, thanks m8, another day another $ best wishes dev
Choose which level you do best at for the volume of games you play. If I was you I would be playing on the £2/£3 You know you are playing ok & its just a case of ironing out the varience. Play the volume you are, the results will come back with the confidence.You are good enough to beat this m8.
Hi Dev Great posts shame its going the wrong way at the moment, best of luck. You always do what i did, move house lol. Since i moved in April after not really getting anywhere on the tables i put £100 in my account and thought i would only play £10 and £5 mtts and its seemed to work. Now in profit:) 4th April was -£1400ish now after just playing sensible poker, lol +£240. Good luck Jon Volume 550 mtts.
maybe playing lots of tables at once at £2/£3 level is not a problem, but £5 maybe a little tougher to play optimumly on the bubble acroos a lot of tables
think if your jumping up to £5 level, remember a level you have not beaten you may need to adjust slightly
Time to be positive Ian, Choose which level you do best at for the volume of games you play. If I was you I would be playing on the £2/£3 You know you are playing ok & its just a case of ironing out the varience. Play the volume you are, the results will come back with the confidence.You are good enough to beat this m8. Take care & run good Dev Posted by Woogie8688
hi Mike, thanks m8, yes,will play £2 & £3 tonight i think. got 2 keep on trying the higher levels though and i,m sure it,s only going 2b a matter of time & practise until i get it right. still feel i,m playing ok,if i didn,t i would be honest enough and sensible enough not to even go there. best wishes m8 DEV

hi Jon, well done m8,nice turn around. yes,i do seem 2b unsure as to which level i should play atm. if i was playing my normal game/strategy i would be using the 100 buy-in rule.b4 moving up levels. as i am attempting to reach £1000 asap on this particular mission,that rule does not apply here. maybe i could/should simply use it as i,m sure i would be showing a bigger b/roll than i am atm? if things carry on as they are for much longer,1 step forward...1 step back then i will have to consider aborting my current plan & simply do it the hard way & grind it out 1 level at a time. i,m taking things very much 1 day at a time. either way,i,m confident of reaching my £1000 target, & that has always been my only aim right from day 1. don,t know just how many knock backs i can take though,not to many more i feel. i have no regrets though as the experience & knolwedge i am learning from this mission,will i,m sure be invaluable for the future. best wishes Jon, dev

hi rancid, good points m8. yes i,m sure the £5 level is that bit harder but the only way i,m going to beat it is by playing it. it is still quite early days though so i am not overly concerned. i,m sure i am making mistakes and those will eventually disappear with time,i hope. losing 18 buy-ins as i did y,day in total, looks bad but if i,d lost the same at £1 or £2 levels i wouldn,t even bat an eye lid,at least not with a 100 buy-in b/roll 4 each level. tbh i did have a fair ammount of bad run y,day but that said,it,s no excuse,as i know it,s all part of the game. i,m not into posting hands like many others do but i,m sure you have had losing sessions yourself when you have felt you did very little wrong. just seems i,m getting my hands in good so often atm anyway,where they have to hit & i don,t & they do. had aa v 44 & i lost to 4 clubs coming giving opponent flush...-£10 swing. just 1 example i know. getting lots of these too;i have ak v kq opponent hits q to knock me out, or kq v j 8, j or 8 comes again so often. now i,m not going to be silly and say something like "it,s fixed" am i? but it can get to the point where you do start doubting yourself and the way you are playing this game. that said,i,m feeling better already and ready for another sess this evening. lol best wishes m8 dev
dropped levels played mainly £3 with a few £2 at start. took everyones advice on board, thanks Mike & rancid. xx (don,t get the wrong idea!!! lol)
just going to have to stay at these levels i guess as £5 not agreeing with me atm. nice to get the W as it seems some time since i last reported on one. lol
gave my 4 monthly blood donation earlier today,so maybe there is someone up there looking out 4me. lol back tomorrow, dev

thanks Mike, will try m8. all doom & gloom y,day back 2 me old self today. hoooooray. lol ian
hi dev, don't blame you for stepping down a level given the variance you were suffering. but at least with your recent experience on £5 tables it will be more comfortable for you to go back up once your br will allow it. rooting for you all the way Posted by GELDY
hi GELDY, thanks m8, what would you suggest my br should be b4 i try again? i,m thinking maybe i should get the 100 buy-ins ie;£500 so that i feel comfortable & also should allow me a few bad sessions which i seem 2b getting every time i try & play there. dev
Nice to see you cheery again Dev. Long may it continue. Posted by Dagnamit
thanks too Dagnamit, yes m8 it,s certainly been very up & down last few weeks & deffo tested my patience. think i,ll just try & grind @ £3 level for the nxt week or 3 & see if i can move forwards that way as £5,s are just doin my head in,atm lol also sure it will help me "up top" too, lol best wishes, dev

just seems that everything is against me atm.
but no worries as i know things can change around just as easily....lol
just a joke all the hands i am losing to, tonight anyway.
i,m down ....
again.you,d think i,d be used to it by now,wouldn,t you? lol
always knew this mission would have it,s ups & downs as i,ve always said,but it does test you sometimes
especially when it feels like you have done nothing wrong.
anyway,
tomorrow,s another day & nobody,s died,so will be back for some more punishment. lol
think i,ll make a cup of tea & dunk some chocolate biscuits in....
might help a bit i suppose. lol

if you play £5 level, lower volume of tables
maybe playing lots of tables at once at £2/£3 level is not a problem, but £5 maybe a little tougher to play optimumly on the bubble acroos a lot of tables
