    Great stuff Kirbs - Keep focused on that winners tilt thing. Its something i have suffered with very early in my poker journey and totally relate to it now although it is indeed a hard habit to break :)

    Ty peeps,

    Managed to play some more heads up cash which is where I seem to be most profitable and walked away £70 up

    Not a bad days work tbh but earlyish night for me now ready for the roller tomorrow, will probs play the super stack too as its very sociable with many of my team mates and the regs on there too.

    Current balance: £195.45

    Excellent work so far mate, keep it up.

    BRM has never been one of my strongpoints and I see no problem taking a punt at a higher level if you think u have an edge, im not suggesting putting it all on one table of course. Set yourself a stop loss limit i.e if you lose say 20quid walk away. Never chase losses, it never works and there is no shame in leaving a table if your losing to a better player, stubbornness at trying to beat specific players has cost me a few quid in the past.

    Best of luck in the Roller tonight, I hope you come 2nd... behind me of course :)

    Ok just a quick update following yesterday.

    The roller didn't exactly go as planned. was sitting just above average for the first couple of Hours and all was going well I then hit a couple of coolers and ultimately donked my wayout with the blinds creeping up I shoved my A 10 suited into AK in my defence I had top pair and a flush draw on unfortunately he hit 2 pair on the turn and it was game over.

    The mini started off well and I built up a large stack fairly quickly, taking advantage of a few shove monkeys shoving AK or AJ on the turn on a dry board hoping they would hit. My exit hand I don't think I could have played better tbh...me against other big stack at the table I had Kq suited. I raised 3 x bh and got a flat call from guy UTG. Flop left me drawing on a flush and top pair I bet for value and he flats again turn comes a Jack. He bets I flat call it river comes jack of clubs to complete my flush to the king he bets small I put him in knowing he has a J and potentially a fh but from the way he played it I put him on trips. When I see his cards I'm gutted he had hit his quads on the river...sigh oh well these things happen...oh the joys of poker lol

    Played a few SNGs and won £25 then proceeded to lose £25 on MTTs 

    Profit for the day: £42.13

    Current balance: £237.88

    Been a quiet couple of days for me with not much to post really
    A bubble on Monday in a £100 freeroll which was the limit of my play that day.
    This evening was slightly better was running well in the mini until my bullets got cracked by cowboys leaving me with only a couple of bigs to shove with, needless to say I went out the very next hand when the blinds hit me.
    Ran deep in a £2.30 bh only to bubble after chasing an up and down sraight flush draw only to be out flushd.

    Going to approach things slightly differently with the king of cash promo going on. I have dusted off my old laptop (normally play on my iPad), In order to multi table and will start grinding in the next day or two starting at nl4.

    Also going to be doing a sub challeng. I will be attempting the dym laddering challenge and aim high on that, last couple of times I've hit levels 7 and 8.

    No real change to the roll so will update after tomorrow's sessio.

    Thanks Paul

    The small rebuys can be very profitable as can the freerolls as i just found out lol

    3rd in the 7pm £100 freeroll managed to dodge all the donking throughout until i hit the last 3 where i had 2 loose cannons who clearly wernt fussed about making an extra £15 and were shoving with any 2 which ulitmately led to me going out with AK .... hey ho never mind.

    I will post a bankroll update later this evening, going to do some crash grinding on nl4 for a bit until the next freeroll at 10pm

    gl all
