its easy to hate this game. had an hour from 8 til 9 and done ok where i manged to get a little in front on the day (again) then back to the tables for 10. win a buyin at table number 1 within the first 2 minutes then everything went downhill. i dont think i even threatened to win a big hand. the happy hour doomswitch certainly didnt help matters. at 11:02 i ran KK into AA for the 5th time today and at 11:03 i ran KK into AA for the 6th time. ive never ran kings into aces as often as i have done these last 2 days, there was at least 3 times yesterday i can remember that the scenario arose and theres only been twice ive been on the opposite side of the coup. you could say being 1.5 BI down for the day is ok considering but we all want it going up not down
im calling it quits for the night, i think im all pokered out for the day, ive earned around 850 points today but im making no progress BR wise which is very frustrating and if i stick around i can see another repeat of last night happening and thats the last thing needed.
wonder where i creep into on the leaderboard on the morning
just a standard swing down 6 buy ins myself today.. but still up a lot this month ya know its not gonna be good when you get 1 outered 5 mins into ya first session, prob clowned off 4 buy ins though need to review it Posted by NColley
yeah gotta be honest and say a couple of buyins were due to poor play....it's just frustrating as the weekends are supposed to be easy money!!! lol
having said that there are a load of regs playing due to this promo
m8....am i a seriously poor cash playe??r....be brutally honest if need be, I have lost 8 buy ins in 3 sessions. I dont know how much attention you have been paying to my game as we havent crossed swords a great deal, but you are obv a very good cash player....i'm quite new to the cash tables but not sure whether I should give it up as a bad job. I seem to run up a decent stack then run KK into AA etc....any advice? Posted by waller02
see above post of my review and you will get an idea of things. they can be swingy to say the least.
i dont think im qualified to rate many peoples play as i know im not even a good player myself, i would say im average at best just good enough to win some at the micros.
losing 8 buyins in 3 sessions isnt disasterous as ive done worse on many occasions, the main things is being rolled to ride it out. i would percivere with tbh but if you aint having much joy at the minute then step down a level. from what ive played versus yourself you should be able to do ok at it and better after getting some more experience. it took me around 6 attempts of playing this level to get something to stick and its all about tweaking your game til you find something that suits you.
as for running KK into AA. i feel you pain, ive experienced too many times today but theres absolutley nothing any of us can do about it except go broke

ah right...i disagree with you being average at best though....ur too modest. I am rolled for 10nl...4nl bores me tbh, too much of a grind for little reward.
I will see how the land lies at the end of the month.
ty for taking the time to reply and I hope you top the leaderboard come the end of the month

take it day by day mate, if it continues for a long time then re assess, but dont worry too much about it. i won 8 buyins in my first 2 sessions yesterday and ive donated them back. easy come easy go as they say. i havent strung 2 winning session together since. i really need them to cxome soon.
i hope im top of the leaderboard too come the end of the month so thanks but theres many bumps in the road to be manouvered and im not entirely sure yet if i will last the course

yes,fold them.

I see you are up to 4th, nice one. I think it will be a challenge knocking percival off top spot....and then there is rancid on a mission too. gl m8 Posted by waller02
yep they were always going to be the main dangers and they are also playing the level above me, so it makes it doubley hard, but its all part of the fun. i also have the disadvantage of them knowing how far ahead of me they actually are so i might stop posting my points total in a few days time. im happy where i amjust now but there is an awfully long way to go, i would take a top 3 right now if im honest
got another 3 hours in so far, its mirroring the last few days where i have got a couple of BI in front, now to see what happens the rest of the day. fingers crossed it goes the way i would like it to.
the happy hour doom switch almost reared its ugly head again. i 4 bet AsKd and got called for about 40% of villians stack. flop 3 spades so i got the villian in, of course they flopped a flush holding 6s3s. thankfully for me another spade came on the river.

well that never happened now did it. this story is getting boring now. what i got in front this morning is away again all bar £1. once again the major damage done in the happy hour. wish the doom switch would just get to ****. i know there was a couple of hands i butchered, tptk into set where i could have slowed down turn and not comitted myself and shoving queens into aces, but when i get the real loose players in pre i cant hold, AK<AJ KK<JJ AA<88.
i cant break this cycle. win a session lose a session win a session lose a session. think im gonna go punch something. im getting a little frustrated.
Hi m8 I'm doing it the other way at the moment lose a couple of buy ins and spend a while grinding them back i have the problem at the moment that i don't believe people. cardinal sin at nl4 this promo is showing me how bad it is at nl4 getting points might have to have a go at nl10. got the roll i think and i don't think nl10 is too different from nl4. i may be wrong )))) good luck

i have the problem at the moment that i don't believe people. cardinal sin at nl4
this promo is showing me how bad it is at nl4 getting points
might have to have a go at nl10. got the roll i think and i don't think nl10 is too different from nl4.
i may be wrong
good luck
