split the early evening session in 2. 1st part went good. won 3.5 BI in about 45mins while i was waiting on my dinner. 2nd part of the session went ok, i broke even. would have shown a little profit if i hadnt run KK v AA when im playing 150bb. didnt help it was 3 handed v a tight player. wil i ever learn i doubt it. worst bit was i had already hit stand as it was time to end, thanks for that poker gods.
another **** break even day, damage done in the late session where the 3bi i was infront dwindled away, got sucked out on in a fair few spots and won nxt to nothing. i just need to hold in a couple of spots and results would be better. i seem to have a ceiling in my account when i get near to it it starts to send me backwards. this isnt an isolated case its happened to me loads. mental thing? possibly
missed any announcement about nxt weeks happy hours as i missed the show bar the last hour where they said theyd announced something earlier in the show, if someone heard i would be grateful if you could fill me in.
the nxt few days my hours are going to be slightly different, thjeres no happy hours i qualify for excepy wednesday n sunday, will damage my short term plans points wise as i thought i could get close or acheive priority by thursday. was hoping the format for this week was going to be different than the one they have implemented.
playing wise i seem to be back on the slippery slope, racking up small losses back to back. i was railing idonkcallu in the primo last night n fired up a couple of tables, lost a couple of bi but it was all my fault i was playing like a knob.
got 90 mins in this morning only to rack up another buyin down, hit a couple of coolers, flopped straight v flopped bigger straight being 1 and called a shove monkey with AQ for them to turn over 84o n the 4 spikes the flop, thanks. clawed a little back. i need to stop the rot again before it sets in.
another small loss of less than a buyin, getting annoying n frustrating at same time. still a few hands im butchering. the lack of happy hours on standard tables today is really hindering progress in the points accumulation. i feel at a standstill, even after busting past 8000.
the session was almost a disaster bar the hand below. it was pretty much only hand i connected with n got paid all day. just glad a coolert went my way for a change.
im done for the night early. bar the hand i posted earlier sweet F.A has went my way.
down another 2.5 BI taking me to minus 5 since i got up and if you include the 2 i lost in the early hours its 7 for the day. looks like those couple of small wins was only temporary.
im at the stage today where i cba to even moan, so til tomorrow
keep chin up m8 it will turn eventually just keep grindin those points it will be worth it at the end even if you have a break even or slight loss month.

breaking even is defo the target at the minute. i would happily snap you hand off for it just now. im not massively in the hole but it does get a little worrying if it continues
sky changeds their happy hours this week which is their perogative so now there is only 2 full days where i can take advantage of points boosts. fair enough i will work around it i thought. i can add in an extra session when midnight strikes tonight and start taking advantage. well thats out the window.
we now have a full site outage. yes they are common and yes they have them during the week when traffic is lower but this isnt the common 3 hour outage its 10.5 hours which is the longest scheduled outage i can remember for a long while. it pretty much cuts in half the all day points boost that the lower ier was able to take advantage of.
guess this just highlights how bad im running even when i dont have 2 cards in front of me, back to the calculator now
If you had known about the differing HH promos on the 1st October, would you have gotten in so deep?
People have a go at people for moaning about promos but it's harsh that they keep moving the goalposts and making it harder. Think this moan is justified.
That is bad luck TT tbf. If you had known about the differing HH promos on the 1st October, would you have gotten in so deep?

i dont think i would have been. there is certainly sessions i would have binned off or cut short.
i was always tackling a hard task, it just seems theres more obstacles thrown about. i did think i could have had a run at 20k but not now
I'm obviously wrong otherwise you wouldn't be moaning but I thought it would have been right up your street. Surely 20% extra all day, is better then 50% extra but only 3 hours of the day. For most people I think the 50% is better, but cos you play 24 hours a day lol, thought it would benefit you more. Although yeah the site outage is a bit rubbish for you and others.

i will be a lot worse off having it all day 2 days than having standard 3 per day over the 7 days even if i can throw in even longer sessions.
its going to take me 7.5 hours on a day i qualify for the happy hour just to equal the same as i would earn during the 3 standard hours. so if i play for my usual 10 hours i have gained 1 extra happy hour for that day. theres only 2 days i qualify at the stakes im playing so im looking at gaining 2 standard hours but im losing 5 days worth which is 15. so over the week im looking at losing 13 hours of extra points. this can equate to between 700-800 points which i would be short of normal.
edit: its having a bad effect these new happy hours, there hasnt been a nl8 table running today since i logged on at 10:30
even if i played every hour avail;able to me i still wouldnt earn the same plus having the outage has cut the hours by 25% roughly so there is no chance of even getting close to maing up half ofv it.
they have made this week sound super but it is masked that they are giving less away than normal. if they wanted to do something they should have done the extra couple of happy hours over a weekend where everyone can play each day like they did over the jubilee weekend
