Just a quick note to say that you're the man Waller. I think you're approaching this fantastically.
Good work on improving your mental game too. A way I look at coolers is to question myself. Would the hand have played the same if our hands were switched? If the answer is yes, then I just ignore it, knowing that sooner or later I'll cooler someone in the same mannor. If the answer is no, or you could have lost less, then I spend time to analyse it.
Hi, thanks for your comments guys, appreciated. I didn't even think anybody was reading this thread.......
The film yesterday was quality, not normally into kids films but this one was very funny.......besides, Grimsby lost at football so I def made the right choice!!
Got back home around 5pm and actually had the night to myself as the missus was going out. So I settled the kids into bed with a DVD at around 7, played poker and had time for MOTD too......so a perfect day all round!
The poker didn't go too well I'm afraid, played a few mtts and 2 sessions of cash. I had one min cash in the 2kBH and ended up slightly down at cash...no biggy. I was hoping to showing some profit at cash by now but I have given myself a limit of -200 before I drop back down a level or 2. My roll can handle it so I'm not too concerned.
Today is all about the UKOPS for me, I have already sat into the main and bought into the mini so I am gonna have a couple of attempts at satelliting into the sidey. Probs play some cash later too but dont want too many tables open just yet as I am watching super sunday atm......two BIG games and if the Chelsea v UTD game is as good as the first half of the liverpool game then we are in for a treat!
Worst session of the whole thread by a mile..........QQ<77, flopped set v rivered FH, missed the flop every time i raised pre....mixed in with some bad play.
Decision time as far as how I progress.......maybe it's time for me to throw in the towel as far as cash goes, but I'm not a quitter. I said when/if i got to -200 i would move down so I'm gonna move back down to 20nl until I get back above -200, I am still rolled for 30nl but my confidence is shot to pieces atm
In the UKOPS main tonight so here is hoping...........
Won't be playing tonight as I'm working just posting an update from last night where I managed to ft the ukops sidey...........when I run bad at cash I seem to run good in tourneys for some reason!

Congrats on your cash today. I watched Marmaduke last week with neices and nephew and actually enjoyed it myself. Haven,t posted on here but doesn,t mean to say i don,t read it. Its suprising how many ppl read some of these diarys but you don,t always realise as a lot ofppl don,t post - just read
I,m in a bit of the same predicament as yourself. Looked over my MTT results over last cpl of months and they seem to be where i do best , but still can,t get to grips with with NL10 and Nl20. With the variance of MTT,s being higher i,d like to improve my cash game so thats one of my aims for nxt month - Will probably watch a lot more mastercash for a start
Haven't played much cash for a while until today. I have mainly been playing sats to try and get into the numerous UKOPS events, this has been VERY frustrating. The amount I have spent on sats I may as well have just bought into one of the mains or sideys.
I am going to buy into tomorrows main event, it is £55 and a BH so there is always the chance to make the buyin back with a couple of head prizes.
So, played a session of cash today and made a small profit, I played 30nl. I know I said I was dropping down but I am comfortably rolled for it and besides if bad luck was with me for another session then it would still be with me if I dropped down to 20nl......since the cash promotion has finished there are obv a lot less tables running now and I am facing a few new names on the tables..I'm treating it as a fresh start, it was always going to be tough starting to play cash on regular basis during the promo as the tables were FULL of regs.
If I am still down overall after the end of this month then maybe I will face facts......I am not cut out to be a cash player...watch this space!
hi Ryan, i know u r rolled well,but i would be looking 2 beat nl20 first b4 moving up levels. it's like me playing £11 dym's when i am still trying to beat the £5's. but then again we all have our own opinions,don't we. just trying to help you buddy,and save you money. gl dev
Hi Dev, I think you may be right....just rinsed another 45 quid in a poor session.......I aint playing bad (I don't think)...I lost flopped straight over higher flopped straight and AK<88.
I dont know what to do tbh.....my 20nl stats are just as bad, I'm just running super bad. I lose small pots with marginal hands which I need to improve on but I have looked over all my hands where I have lost a big pot (£20+) and I have to say I would play them the same way everytime.....:(
I feel like ending the diary and quitting cash as a bad job ..............any cash players wanna dish out some advice????
maybe you should drop right down to 10nl for the month see how you get on and continue playing your mtts because that seems to be were you make your money.But yeah after each session just keep looking over your history making sure you are doing everything right and if you are (not saying your not lol) it will turn for you at some point m8.
There has to be some kind of issue with my cash game as losing session after session doesn't just come as a result of bad luck, there has to be some bad play in there as well.
I'm gonna drop back down to 10nl for a while and see if things improve.
Playing 10nl for a while as advised but bad luck is following me around BIGTIME....lost a buy in with the hand below....managed to claw a bit back towards the end of the session though to finish only slighty down

Gonna try some sats for the UKOPS now and probs play some more cash later, def sticking with 10nl until things start turning around for me. If they dont then I will have to admit defeat and that I can't play cash!!!
hi Ryan, glad u r playing nl10,nothing wrong with dropping down btw,i do it all the time when i'm running bad. losing £2.41 doesn't hurt does it. if i had given up dym's every time i had a losing session,that would have been many many times,but i stuck with it,as you should do if cash is where u r happy playing,which i am thinking it is. stick with it mate,i know u can do it. gl dev
Still sticking with 10nl and had a winning session today, this has been very rare of late. It's good to be on winning ways but I don't get the buzz that I had playing 30nl as being in a fairly big pot sure gets the heart pumping. Having said that though I had mainly been losing these big pots so the step down will do me good. I think I may have been caught up in the "don't run before you can walk" situation.......oh well I had a go at least
Sats for the ukops for the rest of the afternoon and maybe some more cash later.

But if you're running bad, don't think that changing the game you play is gonna change your luck in any way.
glad u r playing nl10,nothing wrong with dropping down btw,i do it all the time when i'm running bad.
losing £2.41 doesn't hurt does it.
if i had given up dym's every time i had a losing session,that would have been many many times,but i stuck with it,as you should do if cash is where u r happy playing,which i am thinking it is.
stick with it mate,i know u can do it.
