managed to stick to nl4 all day, not tempted by other sources. i got a fair few hours in but not quite to my usual levels but not far off. i had a good day all round. i felt motivation and focus return and i felt like i was playing well and my radar was returning. there was no unusual hands of note. i did suffer from river syndrome towards the end there. one or two go my way and i would have broke thru the £200 mark again but not to be.
im happy with a return to some proper grinding and a 9 buyin day isnt to be sniffed at. im stuck at the point where the c4p widget doesnt seem to be moving or if it is its very slowly lol. its all in the head.
ive 10 days to get 550 points for 3k which leave me about 4 hours a day playing to acheive, i wanted 4k which is just about possible but ive got plans fri and maybe sat so im not gonna push anything, if i can get the same kinda volume tomorrow i will be happy and hopefully the same kinda results
Do the c4p only apply when you're playing the flop?
Cause there are plenty of hands where people go all in and i've folded pre but the widget seems to go up fastest when i'm actually involved in them hands on the flop.

It's any hand that gets raked, and I'm 99% sure that if the hand doesn't go to a flop Sky don't take any rake.
So if preflop it goes, raise, 3bet, 4bet, 5bet, fold, the person who wins the pot doesn't have to pay rake
So yeah you it will only go up for hands that see a flop

as lambert has said. it must be a raked hand, one that sees the flop that counts towards c4p. you have to be dealt in this hand but you can fold pre and as long as 2 others pay to see a flop then it counts
i never played a lot today. it wasnt till near 6pm before i logged on, i had forgot it was my sons sports day at school today so i was out all afternoon. when i did log on things went well. i was ahead of the game quite quickly scooping pots and after an hour i was up 4 buyins peaking at £213. i made some good laydowns in this period as well which i was happy about.
after a short break i returned and my game flipped round. from playing well i started playing stupid. i made a few idiotic calls where less than 2 hours earlier i was laying these hands down with ease, i could have punched myself. this session lasted about half an hour before i stopped. i knew what i was doing but the cursor was getting drawn to the call button too often.
i got going again about 9 and had a steadier hour, never won much but never lost much either, by this time i was looking at £206 in my balance, 2 buyins down from where i was earlier but a start of a decline that was gonna get worse. another short break and i returned just before the happy hour began at 11. 2nd hand i flop a flush holding 78 and get a full stack in here only to face a bigger flush,aaaaarrrghhh
a few more loose dubious loosing calls later i was behind on the day but i managed to steady the ship and towards the end i won a 300bb pot after flopping another flush this time getting a free look on bb, the sb flopped 2 pair and the money went in on flop.
another winning day overall but i did do a lot wrong in the time i played. i need to sort myself out at times. i hoping i can get some volume in tomorrow, i know for sure i dont have much to do, and i play a lot better than i showed this evening
this morning/afternoon grind has been scuppered due to disconnection issues.
ive had a dozen disconnects in about 90 mins of play, the last one took me about 15 mins to actually get the option to close a table. this is happening to me increasingly around happy hour time. #coincidence
a funny day all round, i tried to get my usual mid morning session in but i had to abandon after a short space of time due to continued disconnection problems, this led me to sitting on the couch flicking thru the channels. bad idea, i found royal ascot on the box. boredom set in and it resulted in me placing a few bets. ive logged my total outlays to keep track on how much i make from poker for the month just to keep it accurate.
tried again this evening but broke away to watch the footie after the happy hour was done. i was hoping for more volume today but things kept on happening. i finally got settled down at 10 and managed to win some monies. i was ready for the off when someone who was prepared to stack with any 2 sat down.
now it went bonkers. i lost overall to this person and i think they walked away in profit despite only ever have the best hand a ahndful of times pre. their raises pre were like £1-£2 and when he got a stack it was more like £4-£5 so it was pre flop play only. i got stacked 4 times in about 8 hands, JJ<K7 AJ<J2 99<910 99<104 i manged to claw a little back, just over a buyin and it was a hand that actually played sensible pre with that i mean there was no raise i had q8 on a 882 flop and the nutter bet huge on the flop they had 85 and i fully expected the 5 to drop but for once i avoided. the person in question was cracking kings and aces with 102 and 94 allin pre. they left the table after getting a stack up to £40 grrrrrrrrr
im out tomorrow night so my volume is gonna be down, im just deciding wether to get drunk or not.and i need to avoid bbc if im not on the tables
hi TINTIN, the joys of the ups & downs of a poker player a. today,s another day m8.... i,m sure you will be ok. might join you with a drink myself the way things are going atm.... "and i don,t drink" lol best wishes, dev
Bump seen that you are on nl8 and nl10 tables hope it is going well mate good luck David Posted by walesboy
yeah i lost my way over the last week, i was ill for a few days and to pass the time i started skipping over to skybet where i lost a chunk. my balance took a **** of a hit to the point where ive completely lost count of whats what.
i had a shot at nl8 n nl10 over he last 24 hours mainly to get past the 3k points mark. i wasnt playing with many buyins either for the levels i started with £145 and it went the same as before, yesterday i spun it up to almost £200, today i cant win a pot and im down £40. im gonna carry on for rest of today and maybe tomorrow depending how it goes but i can write the story just now, i lived it on previous occasions where day 1 is good then its constant losses. i know my stop mark

that's more than some know quick question, I've not played for over a month now (except today's freeroll for fun). finding it hard to get motivation to play though. had put reasonable volume in last 9 months but now ???? has it ever hot you like this? still love the game, and game it is, but .....?

Posted by walesboy
yeah i get like that often, the last week-10 days has been like that for me where ive struggled to find any notion for playing thats why things slipped. ive had spells where i havent even looked at a game for months where i completely fell out of love with the game. i find theres no point forcing things, if you love the game then it will return but theres no need to force things. ive been down the route where ive had an extended period away and just played like you did a freeroll or 2 just for fun, it may help get your appetite back just like they did for me.
the games will be there whenever you get the urge again,
well im still taking the shot at nl10 so havent been near a nl4 table in about a week. it is longer than i thought i would still be playing it tbh. it was a skinny bankroll for the level i started with and the number of bins i gave myself wasnt many but i think im making some progress but nothing spectacular. im in shock at how quick im racking up c4p at nl10, ive already got 1100 this month.
as for june i ended up with 3800 c4p of which about 2800 was from nl4 alone. i lost track of some results towards the end of the month thru different things but i was in profit of around £320-£340.
this isnt me saying im done with nl4 as i could well be back there, but i am off to a decent start at nl10 and so far im up about 11 bins. fingers crossed it may stick this time
hi m8, thought i,d pop in & say hiya, not heard from you last week or so. still playing nl10? how you doing? raking it in...i hope. best wishes, dev Posted by devonfish5
hi mate.
yeah ive been quiet, ive just been trying to get on with it and make something stick. im still at nl10 and doing ok atm.
the last few days of june i made zero just held my own but july is good so far. ive played 7/10 days so far and in total im up about 27 bins with almost 3000 c4p. its a little early for me to say exactly how well ive took to nl10 but i should still be attacking the tables well into this month, which should give me a better idea. if i stick at nl10 and the same playing time i think i will crack the priority mark of 10k

4NL - 1 point
8NL - 2 points
10NL - 3 points
so 4NL is half what it used to be, 8NL is the same, and 10NL is 1 point more than it used to be.
But I'm sure if TinTin crushes 4NL this much, there's no way he couldn't make at least a decent profit at 8NL/10NL
