I think I am going to take a break from poker this week and not return until next Monday because things are going chaos for me my bankroll is currently £144 and I just don't seem to be having success at all £14 was lost with this hand and one think for sure I was never going to manage to escape even if I just call the reraise as it was just J high on the flop and I will end up putting too much in to just fold after that
well after having a break for a few day I decided to return today and did a review of my hands recently and it has helped me improve and was much more careful with my hands today. but for some reason I still didn't seem to get any profit. I had just 1.5 hours today and played on8 tables through that period. 6 of 8 got losses which were -18p -£1.18 -24p - 71p -42p and -£1.52 the two tables that got me win were £2.93 and £1.08 as for hand history well that was winnings of £4.63 £1.42 £1.05 0.50-£1 5 hands the losses were £5.15 £0.82 £0.44 the rest were from mainly a 3x preflop or the BB folds
I am starting to think this might be where my problem lies

lucky enough I was saved on the river from having two huge losses
Wouldn't it be better going down to 4/5 tables for a while? Where you can focus more, i struggle having 5 tables open, 8/9 must be difficult as. When i had 6 tables, i was a robot pushing buttons lol
hi craig, Larson does have a point about dropping down tables mate. you know I like playing as many tables as I can but it can be risky and when you are struggling then it does pay to play a few less I have found. I now play either 2-4 as a rule which helps to steady the ship and also gives you more time to think about each decision. looks as though you are running bad from a glance through your hands. not much you can do there. play within your b/r too. nl10 isn't advisable with less than 20 buy-ins imo. gl today
although I did play 8 tables the maximum I played at once was 6 and that was partly with it being the nl4 the reason I said it came from 8 overall was I swapped some tables. normally I play 5-6 at max but I will drop down to having 4 now because it probably is due to the amount of blinds I fold that I have so much lost 59x2p 74 x 4p only 3-5 were from a limp. 35x 5p from action tables
Good fold with the As craig, thinking about the other guys stack and not just the shorty here and you made the right decision good to see. dropping down to 4nl is a good idea for the minute get some confidence back and make sure your playing your A game/making correct decisions. Flush over flush is ul, and the aj checking behind is fine on the river imo.
Dev 1-2 of the tables craig is playing above is 5-5p blinds not 10nl, have never played them myself really is the standard much different to nl4 craig?
had a 2 hour session this afternoon on 6 tables overall 4 being the amount I was on at once. I did very well on two with profits of 4.98 and 3.70 but it was ll washed away when I got a loss of £7 on one mainly through bad luck. the other 3 were not that good either with just 24p won but -£2.13 and -£1.63 lost BR is £142.04
due to the buttons being so small I only min raised this hand when I should have did the full raise as for the river I thought to myself I might as well call the last £1.10 as he might hold KQ or K10.

when I saw him B/C the flop I began thinking to myself right away he has Kx. then when I checked the turn I decided to make my FH look like AA because I could only see AK or KQ likely calling a big bet. but then when I saw an A come on the river and he does a bet it start shouting FH weather it was KQ or AK.
I agree with all that have said less tables is better.
Stick to 3 or 4, pay more attention, win and get some confidence back. It makes the world of difference.
Not sure if I menitoned it, but if you ever wanted to record a session (say 4 tables max) and post it online somewhere (If Sky allow this) I would be happy to look over it. Granted im no expert, but never had a sub £100 4nl month, and most £200+
I am convinced the reason your BR is not growing is due to small things that you are doing, and that never get seen on these threads. No idea what it might be, but sometimes the small subtle leaks are the worst.
how much longer will my full houses fail to be winners I didn't want to call the river but really I was meant to click the reraise on the turn but instead clicked call. it really feels annoying the number of full houses I loose out with in the last two weeks
Hi mate,Im sure you should delete players names when you show table hand history .I have played you a few times and my notes on you read..solid player on 2p4p but i wont tell you the rest lol.good luck mate
Larson overall the afternoon I still got quite a lot of bad luck as for this evening things went a bit better and I managed to get a few tables with £3 profit but overall my bankroll has finished at £140.59 the hand history was winnings £4.02 £3.58 £3.47 £3.08 £2-£3 4 hands £1-£2 22 hands the losses were £6.41 £3.23 £3.15 £3.06 £3.05 £2-£3 4 hands £1-£2 8 hands

Ccf we haved used a screenshare software which is free called joinme and have discussed some hand histories and stuff via that pm sometime and i could show you it probably alot easier than recording sessions and going through it that way, Craig agreed that it was a mixture of alot of coolers and alot of hands which could of been played very differently possible some of which as a result of tilt.
Btw Craig that 3s full hand on the previous page you need to be betting turn and playing for stacks on river, i know you have had alot of house over house coolers but you still need to be making the right decision in that spot when it occurs and getting it in and losing with 3s full on the river would not of been a bad decision long term, i'm sure a good session is just around the corner mate gl.
I did have a few hands which I folded when I was actually ahead this villain I would say was very lucky I could not see him holding anything but a set when he does a call followed by a raise.

with this hand after so many limpers and a raise still being done when he the does such a big bet on the flop the last thing I would expect him to hold was KJ i was heading towards AA KK JJ AK AJ the only hand i could see him holding that i still would be beating was AQ.
Comments
£14 was lost with this hand and one think for sure I was never going to manage to escape even if I just call the reraise as it was just J high on the flop and I will end up putting too much in to just fold after that
well after having a break for a few day I decided to return today and did a review of my hands recently and it has helped me improve and was much more careful with my hands today. but for some reason I still didn't seem to get any profit.
I had just 1.5 hours today and played on8 tables through that period.
6 of 8 got losses which were -18p -£1.18 -24p - 71p -42p and -£1.52
the two tables that got me win were £2.93 and £1.08
as for hand history
well that was winnings of
£4.63
£1.42
£1.05
0.50-£1 5 hands
the losses were
£5.15
£0.82
£0.44
the rest were from mainly a 3x preflop or the BB folds
I am starting to think this might be where my problem lies
Must be hard with all those tables?
Wouldn't it be better going down to 4/5 tables for a while? Where you can focus more, i struggle having 5 tables open, 8/9 must be difficult as. When i had 6 tables, i was a robot pushing buttons lol

gl today
dev
normally I play 5-6 at max but I will drop down to having 4 now because it probably is due to the amount of blinds I fold that I have so much lost
59x2p
74 x 4p only 3-5 were from a limp.
35x 5p from action tables
Dev 1-2 of the tables craig is playing above is 5-5p blinds not 10nl, have never played them myself really is the standard much different to nl4 craig?
fair point benc,
only had a glance through earlier b4 work so opologies.
(* *)
^
dev
in a way I think the nl5 are easier than nl4 I very rarely finish with a loss and villians don't seem to play as passive post flop either.
I did very well on two with profits of 4.98 and 3.70 but it was ll washed away when I got a loss of £7 on one mainly through bad luck.
the other 3 were not that good either with just 24p won but -£2.13 and -£1.63 lost
BR is £142.04
due to the buttons being so small I only min raised this hand when I should have did the full raise
as for the river I thought to myself I might as well call the last £1.10 as he might hold KQ or K10.
then when I checked the turn I decided to make my FH look like AA because I could only see AK or KQ likely calling a big bet. but then when I saw an A come on the river and he does a bet it start shouting FH weather it was KQ or AK.
Stick to 3 or 4, pay more attention, win and get some confidence back. It makes the world of difference.

How did the rest of the day go Craig?
We only really played 1 hand, you looked super strong, had to fold on the river.
Good luck!
as for this evening things went a bit better and I managed to get a few tables with £3 profit but overall my bankroll has finished at £140.59
the hand history was
winnings
£4.02
£3.58 £3.47 £3.08
£2-£3 4 hands
£1-£2 22 hands
the losses were
£6.41
£3.23 £3.15 £3.06 £3.05
£2-£3 4 hands
£1-£2 8 hands
it was the right choice I was hoping you might have a pair your self and would think that I missed out on a flush or AQ+
Btw Craig that 3s full hand on the previous page you need to be betting turn and playing for stacks on river, i know you have had alot of house over house coolers but you still need to be making the right decision in that spot when it occurs and getting it in and losing with 3s full on the river would not of been a bad decision long term, i'm sure a good session is just around the corner mate gl.
