    Never seen a thread like this in this forum.

    Polarising opinion ftw.

    Be interesting if you didnt show BR curve for week or two.

    GL.

    This guy is a crackpot gave me a load of nasty abuse for betting against him in a DYM when others were short stacked,  nasty ill tempered poor player!  get a grip jstflipp!!     In Response to Re: Going Pro [Bearlyther's Diary]:
    In Response to Re: Going Pro [Bearlyther's Diary] : Well just off the top of my head, from very recent posts, you've compared taking cash advice from Rancid to taking driving lessons from a blind person, and you've said that you would never play cash on this site. We all know about variance, I'm sure there are plenty of times to come when he will be the 80/20 favourite and lose. If he's going pro and doing it for a living, he's gonna need to take these ups and downs in his stride. One thing about Bearlyther is I've yet to hear him moaning and groaning about bad beats, yes he might be on a bit of a heater but everyone gets the odd outdraw even on a heater. He's mentioned them in passing but glad to see there's none of the 'Sort it out Sky', or '**** Sky river'.

    Must say the community has been very dissapointing here. The amunt of people that have shot this guy down before hes even started and continued to put him down even when hes making money is ridiculous! Maybe some of it was warranted, but i dont think so it is his money, its like people are jelous or something. Think your doing a great job mate youve spun your roll up very well keep grinding away. Dont get carried way though, if any piece of advice is one to listen to it would be BR mnagement. Why not try playing 6-8 tables of nl50 for a bit? See how you find that, cash is probably the way for you to make the most and consistent amount of money over time. If your playing HU the variance is incredible most HU pros will have at least 100BIs for the level their playing at you could easily blow 500+ playing what your playing. Also maybe post up some losing hands and let people have a look, everyone can improve and im sure you want to keep improving your game, you have had some great advice from some of the best on sky so if their willing to give an opinion going for it then im sure they will here. Keep running well:)

    Hi bearlyther, congrats on your success so far.

    I was wondering is it possible for thread posters to remove comments or stop others from posting.

    Wernt sure if it was worth starting this diary again. Ive enjoyed reading it but the majority of it is others shooting you down and generally bickering lol

    The only thing i think i would do if i was in your position would probably be to withdraw a nice chunk of your winnings now so if you do go on a losing streak you still got something out of it.

    Good luck mate cya around

    Thanks Joshlarr Wacko90 gaga87 Jimbobadob appreciate the support it really helps me.  As for bankroll management i am the 1st person to admit that i have probly the worst bankroll management on the site and i am well aware of the roll i need to be playing at each level this is the biggest weakness in my game and hopefully i can stop myself from taking big shots soon but it has been working so far.  As i said last night i hadnt actually planned today at all due to my university project being due in on Monday but i got a good lot of work done in the afternoon so decided to play tonight.  I ended up playing everything again i know im crazy 50nl 100nl heads up 200 nl heads up, 200 nl 6 max.  Played in the main and mini didnt do anything in them. Played a bounty hunter tournament was 2nd when there was 20 players left and finished 15th!  Today ran quite well again apart from making a few mistakes in the tournament.  Withdrew £500 of my roll last night to purchase new laptop.  Unfortunately wont be able to play until monday evening again until after this project is finished.  

    Profit today: £264.77
    Bankroll: £3530.84
    C4P: 4494 (£71.90)

    if half the people on here supported the little guys who have started diarys on here well....... Just seems to be the most posts go on the one thats most contoversial and the biggest br lol. Have a thought for the little guys. Dont moan at each other about someone else! and support or advise players dont hate, its petty and not worth the bother.

    I do think that bearly is getting a lot of stick because of his rather large BR compared to other diaries of the like.

    Yeah he has made a couple of mistakes along the way tho but w/e we all do.

    One piece of advice I would give is not to post 'Oh can't play for the next few days cos of Uni work' or 'not playing cash anymore'  People like to stalk and then give nice little stabs so don't give them the ammo to do so :)

    I just reiterate my early post, I am not experienced enough or good enough to advise. I wish you luck wee man, as I do everyone else when not in a hand with me, listen to the good guys and the experienced ones like Scotty77, and may you be blessed with good variance to go with the impetuousity of youth...

    most of the diaries on here are akin to adrian moles daily measurement of his thingy without the added comedic value.

    this appears to be a rare exception as it feels like its also written by someone who is 13 and 3/4

    that said, he can clearly play poker better than me, so my only criticism can be aimed at this senseless navel gazing, but it clearly works for some, and there appears to be huge interest from the forum - the psychological question is do people really follow saying they want someone succeed, but secretly hoping they fail :)

    GL to ALL you Adrian Moles apart from when I'm on your table ;)

    Best of luck. Your not too bad compared to a lot of the DYM players.

    What's your average stake, because I think I play you at both 5s and 10s? In your opinion who's the top 3 DYM players at the stakes you play at? How many tables do you play nowadays?

    First thing I look for when I open up the forum is this diary.

    You write very honestly, Bearly, which is partly why you get some banter, but don't change, as it's very interesting to follow.
    It's all pretty much car-crash stuff - no discipline in terms of sticking to a plan, little BRM etc...., but seemingly without the big pile up at the end.
    It's clear you can play a bit though, which is obv. a good foundation.
    I really hope it works out well, so wish you the best of luck.

    You never know what's going to happen when you open this thread. The fact you have lots of haters too makes it even more interesting.

    Keep playing imo...who cares about uni exams anyway :)
