Another losing session....and my last cash session of the night, I'm drunk and playing quite spewy....just gonna play a few mtts for the rest of the night
5kBH was a nightmare......but I did make it into UKOPS 1 main event and I'm currently 6/68 in the mini primo, so could be a very good night Posted by waller02
13th - eh - unlucky for some - but still better than 300 others - wp
Yep 13th.....lost momentum (with a bad call or 2 mixed in) at the latter stages.
Probs wont be playing any cash tonight as it is DTD night...........as for the cash, I'm still yet to see a decent return but I'm still getting to grips with it and it could be a LOT worse I suppose so gonna keep soldiering on!
hi Ryan, unlucky last night... can't win 'em all,i guess. keep going with the cash m8... you know the saying...practise makes perfect. (* *) ^ dev Posted by devonfish5

best of luck in your new challenge, I'm sure you will do it
Just the one session today, 4 tabled 30nl for around an hour and a half.....usual story, 1 table bad, 2 tables break even and 1 table good. Luckily my good table outweighed my bad one and I made a small profit for the evening. Away from the cash tables I thought I would try my luck at a £5 sat to get into the UKOPS 3 semi......I have never been so lucky to scrape through, I start off well and get to the ft in 3rd with 4 seats up for grabs. All bar 1 of us have similar stacks.....I lose a big pot KQ<45 and I'm down to 725 chips and on my way out. l double up when I'm auto all in and somehow manage to scrape through to the semi as others clash.
So, I play the semi thinking I have used all my luck and wont get through, but the poker gods were smiling on me and I have now qualified for my 2nd UKOPS main event. Would have been happy to qualify for one but I'm now in two 110 buy in mtts for a total investment of around 20 quid.........a lot of the higher stakes players will be thinking "wow big deal" but for smaller stakes players like myself the chance to play in these big mtts doesnt come around too often, so I'm happy
Ok, another session done and dusted and I'm slightly frustrated with myself. I sneaked in a 50nl table alongside my 30nl ones to see how it went. I didn't play too bad but a couple of beats put me to just under a buy in down. The 30nl is still going well though and I think (touch wood) that I have found my comfort zone there.......I am 3 buy ins up in that but the 20 and the 50 have let me down.
So, from now on I will only play 30nl and see if I can get back into profit as far as the cash goes.......I'm 10 days in now and have probs played around 20-30 hours and I'm yet to be in profit. The most severe losses have come from mastercash tables at 20nl which is the reason I am avoiding these from now on....still loving playing cash though which is the main thing plus a good session or 2 and I'm right back in profit (here's hoping) )

not doing too bad given you're a newbie at these levels, eh?
it only takes a couple of coolers/bad beats when you're playing the higher tables and/or mastercash to quickly undue all your previous hard work so do be careful (& I'm speaking from experience)

not enjoying poker at the start of day 11 though.........such a donk call ruins my chances in the Ukops qtr.....7 seats, 10 left I'm 5th....no need to get involved blind on blind, I raise with AJ villain calls....Ace high flop, I bet, villain raises.......get the lot in on the turn..villain has AK SIGH....why did I call?????
Everything I said about "enjoying" playing..............FORGET IT lol
Easily my worst night since I started this thread.....as mentioned above, I wasted a glorious chance of getting into the UKOPS semi for the BIG one (the one I really wanted more than the others), 7 seats up for grabs and I went from 5/10 to out through nothing but my own stupidity......that pretty much set the tone for my whole evening.
More than slightly tilted/annoyed with myself I played the 12kBH....AWFULLY......it's 8.15 and I'm gone after handing my chips over to wacko with more poor play from myself. I had half an hour break from the tables to try and sort my head out before proceeding to a session 5 tabling 30nl...........can you guess what's coming next??????
Now, I didnt actually play too bad. I lost a few smallish pots with hands I should probs have layed down but it wasn't long before tilt started creeping in.....I have KK get 3 callers and there's an Ace on the flop....ffs....I have 2 pair but the turn card that gave me the 2 pair gives the villain the straight etc...etc...One of those nights when I hit the flop but somebody else hits it even bigger or I have a MASSIVE draw and miss everytime
This hand below pretty much sums it up........absolute dream of a board, I'm thinking cheers lads 60+ quid for me ty.....finally luck has changed........

ul waller - 1st one was just a cooler - in a way i don't mind hands like that so much because the play was good from both of you, and he just had the better one - just a more convoluted way of playing AA vs KK aipf and him binking a K (i was out 1st hand of a UKOPS semi with exactly that). the 2nd one - well probably many ways of playing it - i'm not good enough to say if yours was the best or not.
3 lessons from these hands:
1. don't tilt - coolers happen
2. variance is s.h.i.t but it happens, so again - don't tilt
2. stay within your br - just think how much worse it would have been if you were playing NL50 again.
but good on you recognising it was tilting you, and quitting for the night.
sleep well, in the morning re-appraise your hands and the bankroll you are "happy" to lose, and go for it.
Right i'm done for the night.......vast improvement from last nights showing.
Sat down to a cash session and 5 mins in things seemed to be progressing the same way when I lost a BI to a well known reg on here KK V AA......stone the crows here we go again....wont say who it was but dont tell ur mum I think the big difference was that I didn't tilt this time, I'm 5 minutes in and no need to lose my head. I'm learning more and more that tilt is prob the biggest killer in cash games. In a tourney tilt can get the better me but the worst that can happen is you lose ur stack and it's game over, but in cash tilt has caused me to reload out of stubborn pride and cost me more.
Anyway, tilt free I stuck with it and sat down for a longer session than I usually would and managed to put myself back in profit for the night.
Job done and I settled in for a few mtt's....luck was on my side and I cashed I all of them apart from the mini open.
A 6th place in the Orfordble (which is a must for all forum regs) meant I had also won a free seat into next weeks open rebuy and 8th in a £400Bh brought some cash and much needed confidence back.
I had satellited into the rebuy open tonight. I am not normally a fan of rebuys but this tourney has a great structure and for the buy in it has recently been a fav of mine, although I am yet to cash........until tonight. I sat in for 2.40, took the addon and pushed on from there. I have just busted out in 11th but for a player like me having a sniff of a big cash is always great....I was in reasonable shape but lost my stack in 2 hands where both times I was a favourite......sigh. Having said that I won a big pot A5 />AQ to get in good shape in the first place..........thats the beauty of poker, swings and roundabouts!
Poker is one of 3 big loves in my life alongside football (GTFC) and most importantly the 3 girls in my life, my missus and my 2 daughters aged 9 and 5............well poker and football are taking a backseat tomorrow as I'm under strict instructions from my kids to take them to see Madagascar 3........and you know what, I can't wait..........beats and bad runs happen in poker, but in the real world when your doing things that really matter with people you love......who cares!!
Win or lose at poker I know I'm already a lucky bloke
