ying and yang TINTIN ying and yang for every upswing you'll have a downswing - cash or MTT's - all the same chin up - good luck - but not v me when you flopped str and I have set in a 300bb pot - that's just not cricket is it sir ) Posted by rancid
i know mate, swings n roundabouts.
i remember that hand well, i was suprised i held. could do with a few more like that going my way it would be nice:)
In Response to Re: 31 days- diary of the grind : Dont let it affect you mate. There are couple of days which nothing goes in your side. You keep getting outdrawn hand by hand but that's poker. You can't do anything about it. Just contniue playing and the run good is getting closer. I saw that you bought a new set up. May I ask for some of its details? Posted by GreekWay
it was just a shop bought system nothing fancy. i needed a new system badly and wasnt prepared to spend big on something that was way ou of my needs.
my old system was 5 year old had 1gb ram and a shtity celeron processor n 15 inch monitor. my new computer is vastly better but as said nothing fancy. i3 processor 6gb ram 21.5 inch monitor. i can get 12 tables running no problem and that is likely to be the max i can handle for a while so it does the job. i was limited to 6 before because of my system spec before lag took over
hiya Tintin iv been following your thread since you started but have not posted yet so just thought show some support and say it really is incredible the amount of volume you are able to put in iv been playing some 10nl and usually manage about an hour tops before needing a break lol! for what its worth i have seen you suffer some appauling out draws like the AA v villains 55 aipf and 5 fell on the river! nasty! but all you can do is keep getting it in good and you will come out the other side. good luck with the rest of your challenge. Posted by Russ76
thanks. it aint easy but ive built up a bit of a tolerance to the hours so it seems normal in a way. i had forgot about that hand you mentioned but yeah im seeing a lot like that atm. it will fall my way soon enough. as you said i can only keep getting it in good
just not feeling it tonight, tried a little but its just not happening, got a little in front then lost it, so im level for the day. gonna settle down watch a film or something. maybe the months exersions have caught up on me a little today.
had to get up early because the son was going out for the day, went to wash up breakfast dishes and the sink blocked, had to remove the u bend etc under the bloomin sink oh and im down to 2nd on todays kings list. just shows it was closer than anybody thought even though i passed 10k
hi mate, been keepin an eye on things. no time to be messin about washin dishes and un-blockin sinks & things.... get back 'grinding' "you know it's what u do best" lols
only 11 more days to go.... that's 264 hours or 15,840 mins. "it'll soon pass" lol

i half expected it tbh.
i hardly played yesterday coupled with the fact nl20 had a boost al day on points certainly showed. i wont be stepping up trrying to chase an extra £50 where i could do untold damage to my roll at a level ive never played. i will plod as as usual and see where i am in a week
tbh tintin played most levels on here up 50p and 100 think your game u will walk over 10p 20p only thing is do u think ur out of your comfort zone gl keep at it

it would defo be out of my comfort zone and i just wouldnt feel comfortable at the mminute. maybe an attempt might be tried soon once this promo is finished and the tables arent so reg heavy.
good luck Tintin! Just had a look for you and saw you double up AQ vs AK all in on a AQx board. Serious achievement to be where you are in the leaderboard playing 10nl. Do you ever play 20nl?

never played nl20, flit between nl4 n nl10 most of the time
an all round rubbish day, so much so im done for the night, guess the tone was set with the disasterous start to the day in the home life lol. had a lot of sick outdraws and spewed some myself from a little spell of semi tilt that occured earl;ier in the day. not happy with myself for that. won a couple of pots but not enough of them.
im really questioning wether its worth carrying on. i wont overtake haidyboy as they seem to be putting just as much volume in as i have been lately if not more and with the added points at nl20 then its an alomost impossible task. its now down to how far are the chasers behind me.
i need to think a few things thru. i know i can post a competitive points tally even if i drop to nl4 for the rest of the month. would it be good enough for 2nd, 3rd or even 4th im not sure.
i am starting to get fed up of the current trend im on.
well this morning has been ok, went on a little run of cards where at 1 point i was holding AA AA KK KK at the same time on 4 of the 10 tables i had up, more miraculous i won with all 4 gaining 3 stacks in the process. this morning has made up for yesterday so hopefully i can carry it thru to later.

I only play 5/6, but occasionally have sets or huge hands on 2/3 at once, I really panic.
By the river, it's often a marginal spot on 1 table, if I've just won 1 buy in on the other table I might fold. If I've just had my aces cracked, I'll prob make a bad call.
Really terrible methodology for decision making!
I'll often hesitate and time down all the way on all streets on 1 table to make sure the hand on the other table finishes first so I know the result.
I should give this game up! lol
edit, while all this is going on I'm obviously missing loads of +ev spots on other tables too. so bad. And this is only 5/6 tabling.
I have misread my hands on numerous occasion across 12 tables, best one was all in with set of 5's - but it was not a set it was 56 - luckily oppo folded
