    hi again TINTIN, great result again m8, "you,re the boy" well that was the first thing that popped into my head anyways. no neeed moving up to nl/10 with these results at nl/4 m8. i,m going through a similar thing with my dym,s atm. dropped back down to £1 & £2,s y/day to win £20. funny old game isn,t it? keep going buddy, :-) dev

    i did read your diary and seen your result for yesterday, well done.

    too much can be made about moving higher, i feel its better to crush a level rather than break even at the higher one and hope for a decent c4p payment to really show a profit. i will try nl10 again i just dont know when. i dont blame you for taking a step back if things werent going as you hoped at the £5's n £3's. its also a good confidence builder having a good winning session when you step back.

    Excellent progress, well played.

    We already have enough ammunition here to easily shoot down in flames any future 'NL4 cannot be beaten' threads.

    I am enjoying following this TINTIN you are doing well mate,as for possibly jinxing yourself by doing this diary forget that nonsense.What you need to do, and you know this yourself, is just keep playing your solid game and you will be fine.


    Gary makes an excellent point regarding people who say nl4 cant be beat,this diary should be required reading for these people.

    thanks mate, i was a little worried at the start not about beating it but living up to some of the claims ive made in the past. i had debated doing this for a few months before eventually taking the plunge, i was worried it would instantly create some run bad but thankfully thats been avoided

    Great to see you doing so well.
    In answer to my own earlier question, and going from your C4P, I guess you had played just over 39000 hands this month, which puts you on about 11.2BB/100, if my maths is correct.
    Keep it up,- you are officially crushing 4NL !

    Ive been doing Tintins in comparrassion to my own when i was playing. One thing we dont factor in is happy hours being double points and without knowledge of tintins hand ratio outwith i rekon hes probably nearer 16-18BB/100.

    Very impressive results none the less.

    thanks for taking the time to try and work it out, its much appreciated. i do think 39k hands is a little large and i will try to show a rough figure i got to in another post as the_don90 has brought up some points

    day 11 summary

    opening balance: £275.82
    closing balance: £302.26
    todays+/-: +£26.42
    c4p 1753

    yet another day of steady progress, i had a few spots today where i started to get spewy. i donked off a couple of times in really silly spots, one of which i called a shove with kings on an ace high flop v an opponent i had a little previous where i got him allin pre my kk v his a5 needless to say the ace dropped, a stoopid call i know but it was borne out a bit of frustration and he had an raggy ace again.

    funny spot in this evenings session where i had ak utg raised my usual n got the 2 blinds to shove, 1 was playing £1somethig and the other under £3, i made the call kinda expecting to be dominating 1 hand and racing v the other. both flipped AQ happy days it was the best i could see in that spot til the Q was first card on the flop. run better lol

    ive broke the £300 mark if only just but its a great feeling, now to stay above it

    fao clubhammer

    i'll try and talk thru my working to get a rough number of my hands played.

    ive accumulated 1753 points so far but this has been boosted by 41 happy hours so far this month. ive played them all and each one has yielded 8 bonus points so 8x41=328. take this off my total gives you 1425.

    1425x20=28,500 raked hands this month so far, ive got to factor in dead hands, ie hands that ive played that either not seen a flop or ive played and not amassed the 20 required to gain the point so i would est at around another 4000, we all know theres flops galore at nl4 so i am guessing a little with that figure, so for arguements sake we will round it up to 33k hands so far.

    im up £200 so far this month v 33k hands, im not sure of the exact calculation, im sure someone could give me the formula, but a rough number im getting is just over 15bb/100 but i could be way off

    I,m having exactly the same problem, not for the first time.  Had a good to start to the month as well (volume + profit wise at NL4)

     Having a few disconnection issues on here which isn,t helping (also watching a lot of the Euros)

    day 12 summary

    openeing balance: £302.26
    closing balance: £340.72
    todays +/-: +£38.56
    c4p 1852

    nearly another 10 buyin day and apart from a couple of meaty pots towards the end of the session i cant remember too much about the rest, what is playing on my mind is 2 pots i lost v a certain player, i need to anylze them a little more i think.

    i would go into a little more detail but i feel shattered tonight hence the early update so its time to log off, i havent played as much today mainly because i had to go out for a few hours early this evening. im approaching the 2k point mark now and if i put in my usual tomorrow i should pass it at the end of the day.

    im off for an early night, may the run good continue tomorrow

      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?
