Sun is shining, the birds are chirping and I lost then won some money playing NL10 last night - current £175 Ran so well last night it was amusing, played about 6-7 tables + some MTT's - I can't play them DYM's - sorry but they just don't hold my attention enough - so back to just cash for this futile challenge.
Anyway as you may be aware I do play MTT's, my profit/loss is not included in this thingy because well I started it as a cash exercise so that's what it is - I played mini open last night and was so so deep - last 40 or something may even last 20 - can't remember Going to post this hand in clinic anyway as I am not sure if this is ok - maybe I could fold flop or raise bigger pre ?
oppo donks pot into me - I was hoovering over the fold button as I thought I could find a better spot - but last minute I called thinking draw TPGK - should I fold TPTK here I got 17bb behind
Little update, Mum is still in Hospital - she's ok - getting better
poker - not much doing with cash - running break even at the moment - current = £155 At the moment I have been watching some training vids and it's helped me look at certain things another way, kinda moving up to the next stage in learning - very enlightening tbh - never stop learning )
played the £33 BH last night as I won seat via DTD and I binked 1st ) j/k I wish - busted after 10 mintues played the mini BH and the same happened as above and in both exit hands oppo turns broadway GG!
Hand above btw - I shove oppo shows 64o - I don't improve

GLAD MUM IS OK.
WHICH TRAINING VIDS YOU WATCHING, WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THEM?
I'm a bit late to the party Ran! ;-( too many diaries & not enough time! Anyways, good read. Sorry to hear about your mum but sounds like things are a little better. I can't give any advice re cash poker and I've only met you once or twice in the DTD. You seemed to be a VERY agressive player who takes a few risks? (I mean this in a nice way BTW!) I was just wondering if you are always like this or only in DTD? Also, do you play cash differently? Re dog - if pokerz don't work out I've got three dogs and I'll rent one out to for a while to appease the kids.
Edit: I forgot to ask how long you've been playing poker?

I would say sign up to a training site and work through the vids They kind of come in stages, and you just work through them as you see fit Some vids at high levels just go straight over your head, while others make sense - just finding a level and trying to then work through them -

Hi,
Been playing for 4 years, started on full tilt playing $2 & $5 turbo SNG's for fun and played live pub poker both SNG & cash. Really started playing properly since 2010 - started playing cash poker in 2011 online in an attempt to win some money to fund my MTT play online. Since then I suppose I am more of a cash player but hold my own in MTT + SNG's.
I don't think you can play poker and be risk averse so yeah I like a gamble and take some risks. Especially in MTT's because they so much come down to a larger amount of luck towards the end in fast MTT's structures. Excepting your going to bust in the majority of MTT's you play, means getting your chips in becomes a lot easier ) I suppose yeah I am an allround aggressive player, not only in the DTD. Controlled agression is a must though, being aggro with FE + outs is so much better than a stone cold aggro move. DTD is a special little thing, I find it very strange that it's a deep stacked but most people just wait around and don't play with so many bb's. Funny cause it's like a nice cash game if you play from the start, but most Monday night I don't get online till 8:30 - I still have a playable stack though )
Played some cash last night. tried some proper grinding with 11x NL10 - won £40 so all good
current £195
Played the mini open last night and was on a very lively table and my stack went up and down like a yoyo - twas fun ) Went through a hand where I knew oppo had trip two's, don't know why I still called lol - took the view he may have TPTK which I beat so I'll go for the big top ten chip stack early - but in hindsight oppo always has the two lol Eventually went out when I called an obvious weak pre raise and lead with a jam - oppo calls with AK lol plus oopo has flush draw on flop - o well that didnt work - onto the next MTT - lets just say I should of sat back a bit more and waited for better spots considering the table -meh-

Thanks for your detailed reply above Ran and re bold bit I find this is probably one of my leaks. I don't do it as much now as I used to when I first began but I sometimes find myself "paying to see"! I guess in some situations it is ok, e.g. in a MTT early to get a read?

You kinda wanna know if your right, and o yeah I am right but I lost Like building faith in your own game, and once you have enough faith you can fold knowing your right.
For example it's more important to have confidence in your game when you running bad, rarther than when your running good.
Think in most situations it's like ok oppo probbaly got this and I am beat but oppo could also have this that I beat so.... in 15secs we do stuff that in hindsight maybe we shouldn't - doesn't mean we should beat ourselves up over it - anyone can study a hand history for a few minutes and come up with the right play - Not that many that can do this while playing 12 tables and keep playing totally perfect.
Why is today not sunny ! Going out today with the kids, popping over after a kids party to see my Mum. Probably go to the park/pub/dinner and do some pretty normal stuff, which I for one is very pleased about. Don't think I said but she was discharged from the hospital on Friday night, she still doing ok - so much better - eating - getting dressed in the morning, going out ) My partners Mum is now in hospital with heart problem, don't just rain it pours ! Why do all these bad things happen at once, so not right.
Played some NL10,20 & NL50 cash last night, won £80. Would of liked to do a longer into the night but with work and early starts it's just not possbile. My eyes start shutting and that's it midnight = bedtime.
xmas kids dog fund £275 with the xmas dog fund now building nicley I can afford to play some NL20+ See how that goes_ this ain't not BRM - this is for the kids !

Lol! You said you were playing 50NL the other night... I think that's upwards of 20NL lol.
Well played Rancid, keep it going and you can get 2 dogs
Had a nie day out on Sunday was not too long out as Mum was getting tired, even though she didn't say I can tell by here eyes that she needed some sleep. Plus my two boys wear you out at the best of times.
Played some NL20 from 8 ish - boring session - was watching X factor, True blood (new season) while playing - lost £10 I was only playing 3 tables on the laptop as I did feel quite tired after the days events )
played a couple of MTT's, doing ok then booom out like last 40 in both first AIPR my AQVA10s - oppo binks flush obviously other short stacked 10bb, shove AQ called by two both holding AK - cmon the Queen - queeny didn't show
Playing DTD later, gotta keep my points up for the monthly Tikay money )
thats a weekness there mate, your only supposed to have it on in the background to keep her indoors happy and then you can play with less distraction instead of "why dont we watch something together and you turn off the computer" Yer mums in my prayers
played some NL20 - now £315 stll playing but won't be updating tomorrow, o so tired and it's only 10pm ) still in one DTD3 -_- just doubled up with QQ cause I am a rock init oppo on my right is called timeforbed, he may knock me out )
I played some poker last night, not for too long - maybe 2 hours before I just got bored - watched the Lederer files for a bit - not all of it as it was do drawn out zZzZz So much has been said about this allready, quite simply too many people with too much money who frankly did not care about how the company was run. If they actually took the time out and showed an intrest in how the company was run, then the situation would never have happened All these players took chunks of money from the company in the form of distributions ! Well give the money back ? Seriously I don't know how Phil Ivey and others have escaped the wrath of the poker community while Lederer/Ferguson are being held accountable But you will never know the full truth I lost about $500 when it went down, I was so gutted - like a lot of other people - while it's not a lot of money - it took me ages to get to $500 through $5 SNG's -

Going well m8, keep it up. Regards cost of a dog, if you go down the pedigree route 500 +.
Plus running costs of course, and make sure you get the beast insured, they can get quite expensive as they get older. My 11 yr old Golden Retreiver is currently on meds for underactive thyroid, Tramodol for arthritis( fortunately my 81 yr old mother supplies these) and has just been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus for which the vet has prescribed a nasal spray which would cost 7 pound odd on prescription but annoyingly my dog aint paid any National Insurance so i have to fork out 80 quid a month.
.- I won some money last night playing NL10-NL30 current dog budget £345

Pedegree labs (e.g.) start around £350 in this neck of the woods. You'll need to start thinking about the breed soon, depending on the age of your kids. e.g. If you've got 3/4 v. young kids you want something thats tolerant with kids, hence I mentioned labs. NOT an expert BTW just I have 3 x collies.
