JSTFLIPPIN - Diary/Goals/Grind

JSTFLIPPINJSTFLIPPIN Member Posts: 255
edited July 2012 in Poker Chat

Will only be grinding low level cash (NL4) as my bankroll will only be starting at £50, so hoping to move up levels fast.

Gonna use this thread as motivation as I'm very tilty when it comes to variance, I want to grind my bankroll up without doing my usually thing of depositting £50 /> £150 /> losing £70 /> withdrawing £80 then start again, I consider myself to be an alright player but lack patience and obviously my tilt doesn't help either. I just want to be able to grind without getting annoyed about getting outdrawn and people donk betting into me 24/7.

My goal is that I want to grind atleast £1200 profit as it will prove to myself that I can do it and also want to treat me and my girlfriend to a holiday somewhere hot next year as last holiday we both fell sleep on the beach first day of our holiday and burnt ourselves and had to stay in our hotel 5 out of 7 days of our holiday. I usually tan really well haha.

I know it won't be big money, but still would appreciate any support as it will help me not to tilt and focus I hope. I'll update this thread constantly and post hands and would appreciate any input whether I played it good or horribly, thanks. :)

    Good luck with that. This bit reminded of me "doing my usually thing of depositting £50 /> £150 /> losing £70 /> withdrawing £80 then start again"

    I had a habit of getting £20 up to £400 then losing quiet a bit due to bad run/tilt, then withdrawing to calm down and deposit again once it hits the bank lol. But i think im getting over that now. took me along time. goodluck dude

    Yeah I did exactly the same, I would check my bank to see if it had gone it, once it had I would deposit £50 again and I would feel like I'm starting from scratch again and all the stress of losing the £70 went and would do exactly the same again haha, thanks man :)

    I played it like an idiot, on the river was convinced he had aces and was gonna fold, also my bet sizing was awful too, anyone else think so? :p

    good luck with your diary.

    i dont like how youve played this tbh, i always raise bigger pre no matter what im holding. this makes the opponents 3 bet bigger which means you can shove pre if you wish. as played im getting it in on the flop prob thru a check raise.

    people stack off super light at nl4 so theres no need to be scared of aces in pots like this

    Yeah true, was so close to folding on the river but looking back would have been stupid to after looking how much is in the pot.

    Up £16 atm starting to feel it tho now haha, gonna play a bit more though cuz can't really play much gfs over all day but she likes watching me play sometimes so I'll be able to play a little.

    Thanks for good luck too :)

    how many tables do you play at a time?

    if you have a solid game then the more you can play the better. it cuts out the boredom factor and stops the silly hands syndrome

    I play mainly 4 tables at a time :) going to try and fit few more in soon.

    But yeah been getting bit unlucky getting money in as 95% fav, 80% on river then river just crushes me :/

    Still up £27 tonight which was like half of my bankroll so I guess my bankroll management isn't that good atm but hopefully when win more I'll be playing comfortably, have felt a bit of tilt coming on and took a break.

    Thanks devonfish too :)

    Just played heads up 4NL against the luckiest player I've ever played against in my entire life, no matter how ahead I am he will catch up NP, don't understand where I went wrong, he would constantly donk bet into me every flop too which was really annoying. Rake is shocking for headsup too :/ Going bed now today was alright tilted quite a bit though really need to stop.

    Bankroll - £77 (£27 profit)

    Personally I think u plyed it pretty perfect, love the 3bet size pre flop. your action after the flop was good. UNkucky tht his ace rag busted the AK. callin ur 3 bet pre is shocking by him but in long run u will mmake loadsa money from oppos bad play like tht, keep the gd wrk up mte, when u think u are tiltin have a break and post some hands

    Yeah thanks will do :) thought I played it good too, if I was the one to call the 3bet with A8, the turn wouldn't be an 8 that's for sure :/

    Gotta nip town now but I'll be playing a little more later, thanks for replies.

    Another £7 profit up to £101 now didn't expect to be up £51 in less than 24hrs playing 4NL but I'll take that I suppose, really need to work on my tilting as I know if I keep doing it i'll bust.

    Got lucky on one hand, was going to shove/raise big what ever the turn was, but once it came it made it much easier to do so :)
