Going well m8. Got to say i admire your discipline at just sticking to NL4, are you ever tempted to play an MTT or a few DYMs just for a change? Posted by pomfrittes
i played mtt when i first started and done reasonably well here on sky when the site was launched but they introduced bounty hunters and flooded the schedule with them. im not a big fan of them n i left the site because of this. that was about 3 year ago and since ive played a few mtt but to no real success, i find im quite bad at them now and the game has changed so to speak but then again ive not played many. i have managed to sat into a couple of the thursday rollers thru the league stars freeroll this year and they were a good experience but ultimately i donked off without making much of an impression.
as for dym, personally i hate them. i can manage about a dozen before my brain fries with it all. i have huge respect for people who play them day in day out but the game is not for me not even a couple just for a change of scene.
i enjoy cash a lot more than i ever liked playing mtt and i used to love winning mtts. i may be tempted with the odd one at some point, guess we will just wait and see

yeah it was against me, i was a little suprised when you called down tbh, normally its big v big when we clash.
you have a decent game and if you keep it up im sure the 10 buyin days wont be far away for you
Great thread TINTIN. It's a sick grind that you are on. I never understood why people say NL4 is unbeatable. "oh people just call with any old rubbish and you can't bluff", pifht!!! just don't bluff then and bet big with the best hand. I've been playing NL4 since the weekend and keeping a diary on here too. I'm running at 23BBs/100hands at the moment.
JSAVO, I've seen you on the NL4 tables too. It's hard to avoid the likes of you and TINTIN, you guys nearly always show up on my tables. I imagine you are a winning player too. Maybe shouldn't call 3-bets OOP with K7s though ;-)
thanks tintin ,, r u plannin on movin up stakes and if so what kind of roll r u lookin for before u make the move? Posted by JSAVO
im not planning in moving up any time soon. theres a few things i described in my opening post about why im not doing it at the moment, i have attempted nl10 in the past and i wasnt successful but i will try again in the future just not sure when.

i got fed up with the number of threads appearing about nl4 and the arguing back and fro about beating it so i thought i'd document what can be acheived. the grind im on is pretty close to what i usually do when i have the time, i really wish i didnt have the time tho its the downfall of being unemployed just now,
by the end of the month i will have played around 90k-100k hands and thats the region people say varience levels around. ive always stated its about volume to beat the short term variance at nl4 because of the any 2 callers so the numbers should stack up come end of the month.
23bb/100 hands so far is good going, im running around 15bb/100 for the month but i have put in rather more hands than yourself. i have read your diary and your making good progress, keep it up
I have just started playing nl4 again because I need a break from mtts for a while. I have a cash4points question, if I 6 table for 3 hrs a day how many points would I be looking to earn??

thanks for reading
work it on a 2 point per table per hour basis as it pretty much the norm so your looking at 36 maybe 40 depending if its a 3 hour straight session. if one of those hours is a happy hour then insted of 12 points for the hour it should be 20-22 which would take you nearer the 45-50 mark

a quieter day in general, i had a decent morning to afternoon and was happily picking up pots, won a few stacks lost a couple but was showing a decent profit figure for the session. nothing out of the ordinary happened tbh.
it got to this evening and i played thru the 6pm happy hour and logged off for a short break at 7, this was when i was showing my highest balance of the day of £365. then things started to go wrong most of which was my own doing. i started to play like a muppet. i was winning pots but losing more. i was bleeding chips when i know i shouldnt have. it wasnt anything huge to damage what i'd won for the day it was just the annoyance of what i was doing myself. i ended up playing lots of short sessions but it was more like damage limitation than anything else. i finally settled down back to my normal self in time for the late happy hour and 1 table i quickly ran a stack up to £13 but on another 2 i suffered 2 beats, treading water lol. i couldnt get anything going so thought it was best to call it a night
i wanted the 2k points mark before i logged off but gave up as the way i was playing in general it would prob have cost me money.im happy with another winning day but a little dissapointed my own stupid play led to a losing mini session this evening. i know we cant win every session or mini session but i can definately highlight my own contribution as a big factor in it.

i admire your attempt but i think it would be wrong of me to name people good or bad.
you wont go far wrong sitting at my tables if i play like i did tonight lol i was in a giving mood
an awful session this morning carrying on from the form of last night. not a big hit in money terms im only down £6 but i played awful, called off in a few stupid spots,my radar was well off but got lucky in a couple of spots thats limited my losses. i really should be more down. oh and i ran KK into AA there the AA flatted my raise pre. i actually said to myself when he flatted that i wouldnt be suprised if he had AA here, they have done something similar to me before. flop was q104 rainbow and he checked raised me allin. even with the gut feeling i dont think many is laying down kings there, villian only had £2 which made it even harder
the good news for those who read this and play against me is, im having a shocker of a day.
the bad news, ive decided on a lenghty break this evening and im going for a pint or 2
obviously these are the other way around for myself.
managed half hour there where i proceded to lose £8 taking my losses so far today to £14. its not huge but im more concerned with the way im playing. its my pool teams last game of the season tonight so im welcome for the break. might have an hour when i get home, if i dont i will have to do my days summary in the morning
from the small increase in my c4p total you will see i only earned 70ish points, that shows i was well down on my usual volume for the day. this was mainly because i was playing awful all afternnon as stated previously. i had a short session when i got home from the pub, i was half gone, and it went well money wise prob not playing wise. im amazed im posting a profit for the day, i will post a hand from this session to show that i was hitting a lot and i did get extremely lucky. hands up i got to admit it but sometimes its better to be lucky than good.
im hoping today is a one off and i can just blame it on my head not being in the right frame of mind for whatever reason and what time i have to play tomorrow i actually play better in general

Have crazy ATM'S helped you or this just versus random bads ?
i havent seen the crazy ATM in a long while.
you have a decent game and if you keep it up im sure the 10 buyin days wont be far away for you
