Hand 1 - Bet bigger on the flop, default should be more than 1/2 pot, this could have set it up much better to stack him. With big hands your whole goal should ALWAYS be 'how can I size my bets so I can shove the river for a PSB or less'.
Hand 2 - I raise bigger pre after a 4x and a call. Bet bigger on a wet flop, again default more than 1/2 pot, and we bet mroe when it's multiway and more when it's really wet (this hand is both)
Hand 3 - I might just 3bet the flop and get it in there. Loads of draws and that will get it in now but are less than when a brick comes on the turn and there's only 1 card to come. Loads of 2prs and OPs that will get it in but won't do when the turn completes the flush/brings an overcard/is another card for the straight. There are lots of turn cards that either kill our action or give us the 2nd best hand. WP on binking the house
well I seem to be on a bad period now and think the tables have changed too much with this promo. they are now getting very tight because most of the villians are probably multi tabling with 15+ and will usually fold most hands. my bankroll has dropped to £327 I might just play a tournament tomorrow instead. one hand I thought of asking your opinions on is this
With people 5 plus tabling at 4nl, it kinda destroys the tables/ any dynamic/ poker playing.
Basically you can exploit them by just raising most hands, but it's boring.
And when they all of a sudden start betting 20-30 preflop you know what they have pretty much.
I would give the tables a miss for the next few days while it's on. Or just stick to 10 nl, it's only really 4nl they are bombarding. It;s maybe a bit more normal at 10nl, and theres prob some good spots for easy money.
Hey Craig, how about whilst the promo is on you cut down tables to 2-3 and table select/ concentrate specifically on 10nl there are bound to be some tables running of an evening without all the multitabling promo grinders if you look around. Anyway good luck mate and give me a shout on fb if you want to do some more hand reviewing.
well today was tournaments and thing's didn't start very well with some bad SnG I played 5 SnG DYM and of those I only won 2 in comparison to that I was in 3 MTT BH ad of those I only won 1 but it was more than the cost for the 3 overall. in one of the SnG i got very annoyed when this happened the reason i called the shove in the first place was the villain seemed to be doing it every hand he had so i thought i might as well call.
i am not going to play any more until Monday as 1-2 tournament is the max i should have per week when i am only able to make an average profit on cash tables of £15-£20 a day.
i have come up with some new target for july and they are 1. do 3/4 or full pot bet's more often especially on the flop and turn. 2. spend more time reviewing my hands 3. aim to get my bankroll to £500
I would imagine that you had a bad day and put it down to the promo. The games are still lolcrushable. go back to cash, your better than most players at 4nl.
Craig, the 4nl games are as soft as ever. I would imagine that you had a bad day and put it down to the promo. The games are still lolcrushable. go back to cash, your better than most players at 4nl. Posted by calcalfold
I am quite sure it is this promo that did it because I had actually 2 bad day's in a row and i remember a similar loss happened the last time this sort of promo. all that people do is fold every hand preflop until they get a very good one. what i want but is those who always try to see the flop.

Since no-one else has tried to guess this, i will take a guess at AQ or AJ? haha.
Been good reading your diary, keep up the good work!
due to how tilted I have been this week I decided to not bother with my diary much. next week I will probably be able to get myself back on track as the cash table will return to normal again. this is my sharkscope are the way things were this week it is probably still missing my last tournament and the good news is atleast I did well in that one although I shouldn't have joined it I did play some good hands
my bankroll is £319.30 btw skeg the hand I had was JJ on the turn I decided to semi bluff a set then when I see the second king I then thought well maybe he doesn'e even have a K
Your bank roll 2 threads ago was 300 plus, and now is under 200??
You seem to do well, then hit a "bad spell".
But this is just over 2 days? Stick to strict bankroll management, i want to see this thread where you are telling us all that have 1k in your bankroll.
You are a good player, we've played a lot in the time i've been on sky. You do well, and make money playing the levels you do. But there seems to be a period every while where you have a massive downswing.
Might be an idea to set yourself limits. If for example you say you are going to pay mastercash 10nl, then set yourself a stop loss, ie 1 buyin. Have a shot at bigger buy ins, but dont let it drain your money if things dont go well.
today has got to be my best day this year, I decided to have a mixure throughout the day of tournaments SnG and cash. the cash tables were divided into 3 sessions each getting a winnings overall I got a total winnings of £42.73 from 9 tables(1act 8 nl4) I have 4 table losses (act 3nl4) the total from that was -£11.22 so I finished with profit of £31.51
the SnG I had were all DYM 4 were £5 and 2 were £2 I failed in both the £2 DYM but I made up with success in all 4 £5 DYM my overall profit was £13.75
as for tournaments I decided to try a few sats fter my first session but didn't go well and the most painful thing about it was they were due to my big stack going short when I called a jam twice once in two tournaments with AA but loosing when the sover hit his set I did win 97p profit and £5.98 in a free roll and cheap timed tourney and as my cash tables were going very well I decided to enter 1 £11BH knowing I made lots of money from SnG my only mistake was too many sats but luckily I won £38.23 in the £11BH so got a profit overall from the tournament of £9.58

You are doing really well, and enjoy the games we play. Keep it going mate.
Dunno if you have ever played it before, but it is really good fun!

You are doing very nicely btw
in one of the SnG i got very annoyed when this happened
the reason i called the shove in the first place was the villain seemed to be doing it every hand he had so i thought i might as well call.
tomorrow i will just do a couple of MTT.
i am not going to play any more until Monday as 1-2 tournament is the max i should have per week when i am only able to make an average profit on cash tables of £15-£20 a day.

2. spend more time reviewing my hands
3. aim to get my bankroll to £500
Sounds like good objectives.
Good luck with getting to £500, I am sure you will.
If you fancy playing in the HU community GAme, let me know details are on the forum.
