got about another 3.5 hours in there. i dont know wether to chalk this up as a much needed result but i lost less than £2 on the day. yep just about broke even. didnt help when rancid repeated a hand i played earlier (wrote about it in previous post when set v top 2) for a pot nearing the 300bb mark. run better i suppose.
earned about 750 points today taking me past the 4k mark but at midnight i was at 3983, wondering if its good for 1st on the nxt leaderboard. only 1 person knows that answer until its revealed.
time for sleep, i think tomorrow is going to be a good day.
hihi , sick hand bruv ! Strange but I ain't running that well, apart from that hand :S
I think 4000 is deffo 1st place, If it's not I'll eat my hat
I might buy another monitor and run 24 tables ) Just to keep up with you so I only have to play 5 hrs a day and not 10 - lol - because cry cry - I have to go to work )
But seriously do you struggle keeping up with 12, because I do I have no idea how Beanah ! and the like play 24 !

ive only been playing 12 tables for a few weeks, and there is times i do struggle a little timing out still. mainly to due to grabbing a drink or a smoke or going to the lobby. im not 100% yet but will get there. any more just scares me atm and ive no idea how others do more with ease, guess its just practice practice practice
i really hate this game at the minute. constantly getting outdrawn, running big into big and coming out wrong end, then proceeding to donk a little more away.
totally unsure of how much i will play today. time for catch up folks

Keep it going MR Tin. Numero uno now, you can stay there all month.
Told you there was only ever gonna be one winner of this comp. As long as you can avoid goig busto TinTin, it's plain sailing. By my workings, you're gonna get at least £1000+ in C4P & promo winnings, so you just gotta keep your BR alive enough to play the month out. You're definitely good enough, just hope you're runbad stops soon

12! I can only manage 4 and even then sometine I struggle. had one last night -JJ v A7 . they had raised 3bb and I just flatted. concentrating on another table. flop 77x and i kept calling. bad play by me. my oppo slated me as one of the worst hands played he'd seen. I thought he was wrong until i had time to check back and found he was right. some days i just miss things with 4 so how you do 12 (and others 24) i don't know. that hand was essentially my loss fort eh session as well so doubly annoying! how many times can i keep saying "tomorrow's another day" before i start annoying myself )))
chin up m8 I'm sure you (and hopefully me) will be in profit by the end of the month
i feel like im going over the same ground time n time again. i evn played thru out this morning with less tables on the go to see if it would change things. safe to say that didnt help.
find myself in the hole again, this time by about 4 buyins. main issue seems to be when i have kings or a flopped set. im seem to be running into bigger set, flopped straight/flush or the opponent is making a flush, straight or bigger house by the river. it really doesnt matter how i play them
ive also had the same situation arise on at least 5 occasions the last few days. i have pocket kings where i raise n get a call by villains playing around 50bb. flop comes 10 high. i bet get raised then set them in. they have 10 6 off for top pair no kicker no flush draw only to see the 6 hit the turn. motto of the story it looks like ten6 is the nuts. so frustrating.
if i play on today i will be dropping number of tables im involved in. ive barely had a winning session since friday and those that have resulted in a win has been max 2 BI where the losing session are 3x the winning ones.
i wont be stretching my lead in the promo by much today if at all, could even be 2nd by end of today.

i'd take a break even month right now as long as it ment i could play the full month. ive a contingency fund which i think im gonna have to access that will keep me going for a little while but if the run bad continues im not sure if its all gonna be worht it.
we need to see how the nxt few days goes, but 20k points is a possibilty plus any promo winnings

i seen the hand in question in the clinic and the replies. think rancid's reply is pretty spot on. we know when we play something badly without the opponent in the hand telling you as well.
as for the tables, i remember when i started playing 3 and found it a little chaotic, it just comes with practice. im not quite there yet on the 12 as there is still a couple of things i miss but the more practice the better i will get playing as many.
"tomorrows another day" ive been saying that a lot as well.
your just sad tintin your best friend must be the ace of spades lol only jokeing GOOD LUCK with your grind u deserve to win it with the amount of hours your puttting in
a break even session, they are rare these days. nothing major to report playing wise.
dont know if i will play anymore this evening, will see nearer 10.
i noticed there was extra happy hours this evening but at closer look their are exclusive to the top tier of each level so nl20 has 2 extra hours of 50% extra points. i dont agree with it, i feel these should be on all levels if introduced even if its a 1 off, i think they send out a bad message to a lot of players who were trying to increase their volume tryting to get top 20 who were not nessicerely playing at the top points achieving tier. wheres their motivation to carry on with the extra volume now?
it wont effect me too much, might mean i surrender top spot tomorrow but i know i can over come that.
thats me for now, lets see how i feel in an hours time
got another couiples of hours in but finished before happy hour finished, clawed back a little from what i was down earlier in the day. i have to send apologies out to shanks474. i got aces v kings and held for a £26 pot. the reason im sorry is because it looked liked i hit n run. i can say that it wasnt the case as i had pressed stand on all 9 tables before i was dealt those aces. i hate when someone does it to me.
was down a lot on volume today but still banked around 500 points. this was mainly due to playing fewer tables. will see how i feel tomorrow as to how many i play.
another bad session, getting fed up with them. its a slow trickle in the wrong direction.
cant seem to win with any premium holding. played 3 hours today n flopped 2 sets in that time, missed almost every board, when i did hit i ran into bigger. things have got to change, right?
cant make the early evening happy hour, got my kids parents night at school. dont they know i should be playing poker lol. break might do me good if im honest.
still number 1 but my volume is down atm, earned another 200+ points today, should go past 5k before the night is out.
dunno about running bad your qq held vs ma ak aipf lol.
im the same m8 last 3 days ive no been losing a lot but its like 1.5/2 bi`s down a day and a feel im playin well just cards are not fallin 2 nice but will turn soon and hopefully 4 you too.
gl at tables when you are back on unless your at my table lol.

that hand was the first i had won in almost 2 hours that was over £1 and the set i hit on the same table minutes later was the first i hit all session anywhere.
i hope they change quickly for both of us, ive been running horrid since fridy night, most of its been 1/2 buyins down here n there n the odd 4/5 thrown in for bad measure. my biggest winnig session in the time has been +2. if you playing some more nl10 then theres no doubt we will cross paths again, gl mate
think im about to go on permanant life tilt. this downswing is showing no signs of stopping. back to running kings into aces on a regular basis again. even when i have aces v kings im losing. in fact im winning 1 hand in 10 when i have pocket kings. if an ace isnt hitting the flop then they are turning 2 pair or trips on me. im at the stage i dont want to see them as i know its ending in disaster.
i really want to post good stuff and stop this turning into a bad beat thread but i just cant atm
