    In Response to Re: Diary of an MTT player : No not as of yet tbh, I have earnt a 1000 in the last few days though although I don't know where they have all came from. They should put how many points you earn in the lobbies. £1 rake = 10 points I think you said but I don't really know. :(

    For STTs and MTTs it's 10 poker points for every £1 of rake.

    So the 12k BH is £30 + £3.... so you've paid £3 rake and getr 30 points.

    So you'll have got 100 points for that big BH you came 2nd in if it was £100 + £10.

    Hi everyone, Just a quick update to how things are currently going!!!

    I am no longer going to post my BR on the diary as I don't feel it rellevant but will keep this diary going as will still play as many MTT's as possible, in my quest to be the greatest!!!

    I have been playing omaha on here today, as absolutely love the game! But hardly anyone plays, and the ones that do sit down with £3 on a nl20 table and attempt a hit and run!

    I have come to the conclusion it is not possible to become a priorty memeber without playing cash, so I will have to start playing it!

    I would like some advice though (I will also post in the clinic)

    Where shall I start, what type of BR management should I use e.g 20 buy in rule? or the 22 buy in where you earn 2 buyins and take a punt above and hope to not look back!

    I will have a seperate BR for this of £400, which I will keep updated in my diary!

    Hey all, another update for the diary. I didn't really play much cash tbh as I don't like it as much as MTT's.
    I grinded out a profit of £22 lol, in about half an hour (So not sure if thats a grind) but started spewing so left. Played a bit of omaha and tripled my £20 buy in a few times throughout the day, but not really any long sessions. (I don't think I am cut out for it)

    I played the ME and the mini and a few of the timed ones!

    The times ones a ran like a 3 legged dog with no eyes and still in a cage. That ends that story!
     
    The main I started very well, doubled up early on, with 555 77 against a bluffer with an overplayed AK. Then I hit top pair on a A 7 2 rainbow board (I had AJ ) all goes in on the turn which is a 2 and he flips over 7 2 lol. Back to starting stack with blinds at 50/100 so 40 bigs.
    The mini I smashed from the start, was up to around 35k in an hour, and was one of the front runners! I go it in pretty bad if I remember rightly, I think it was AK V TT on a king high board but I did have a gut shot. (Something along them lines) It was way too overplayed! It was also against a big stack so this basically finished it off, I had to shove 8 5 suited I think after and went out.

    In main event I just didn't get back up and running, and was down to exactly 593.91 chips with blinds at 75/150 or 100/200. But I proceeded to double up three times in an orbit and was up to around 3.7k ish. From there it went well, I was getting it well and stayed just below average chip stack. Until about 45 left I got it in with JJ and he flipped kings ergh. Down to 17k and shortstacking near the bubble. I got the double up I needed and bullied the two in the blinds as the bubble proceeded, as my table basically stopped betting I just picked up there chips for them :) (I really have no idea why so many people tighten up on the bubble, when everywhere you go people say "I always loosen up on the bubble to steal the blinds" where are these people I ask)

    Grinded down to the last 18 I was 11th and got it in extremely bad with 55 v kk again I think it may of been jacks but it doesn't matter!! But I rivered the 5 (Sorry Oban!!! He said he wanted a mention in the diary as an apology for the beat) Oban went onto the FT I think he was 4th or 5th.
    I then won a few hands and was 1st with 11 left. Could I get another final table??? The tv was quickly switched off and I sat in a room on my own with no distractions. I think I played really well up until the last 7. The other tables just wasn't betting apart from some lunatic smashing the table to pieces. But the FT bubble didn't burst for abou an hour, it was painful. I then got it in really good on a A23 all spade flop with 45 of hearts, he calls and flips over KK one spade, then the river comes a jack of spades. But at the same time on the other table, dubmaster got his AQ crushed by AA and shortly after busted.

    I joined the final table as 3rd place with around 230k, the two ahead where on 300k and 400k and one more around my amount, and the others with about 30k which was 3 bb's.

    Grinded my way to the last three, kept busy, stole blinds 3 bet light and 4 bet shoved T 2 suited in one hand and got it through :)

    Final three went super quick, shorty shoved on my BB 200k into my 580k with I had A7 and called he turned over 2 3!! I then procceded and flopped a full house, then heads up I changed my usual strategy, I was going to play tight!!! (Lol me playing tight) It didn't matter though as got dealt KK 3rd hand he 4 bet shoved with A7 and I held.

    4TH final table since the start of this thread! Two 2nds both in ME's and two 1st's one in ME and other in a £500gtd.
    Another £1550 to the roll, bringing this week to about £3800 profit in MTT's alone. Omaha is about £150 profit and cash is about a loss of £200!!

    Hope you enjoy the read
