In Response to Re: a new year..a new game...CASH...down again,but not out. : This post dev, then some one mentioned you should just drp down to 8nl Posted by shaun09
fair enough m8, heads all over the place atm. trying to take it all in... nl4 today.
As I said before your going to struggle, NL10 tables are tough atm for this level Areas of your game need improving, but I ain't going to tell you how to play because that would be silly of me if your going to be at my tables ) When you flop set versus me (QQvAA), do you think you played it ok - it was a winning hand for you but maybe ask yourself them questions. drop down to nl4, come back to nl10 in Febuary or stay at nl10 and if you lose your money, get it back via promo and use it as a learning curve gl Posted by rancid
yeah,got to know when u r beat,i guess,rancid.
"guess i picked the wrong week to give up smoking"
"guess i picked the wrong month to play nl10" comes to mind. lol
nl4 today then... see how that goes.....probably lose there too.
i'm still happy with all my decisions i've made thouigh,both on the tables and off. yeah,i'm making mistakes...i knew i would,but i have to live with those decisions,right and wrong. losing y'day...no worries.lesson learnt. i'll be back. thanks again for all the help rancid. and to everyone else too.
Keep your head up mate you new it was a big learning curve, maybe play less tables give yourself time to think what your oppos have. Less winnings, but less lose and less stress.. Posted by rusty_ring
ty rusty, yeah,no worries mate..it's only money and money i've won at that. i'm making some mistakes but it never ceases to amaze me this game.,how important the big on big hands turn out to be.
playing nl4 after y'day...had my sensible head on today. lol
session 1 lost £7 (9 tables)
session 2 won £13 (12 tables)
cash b/roll £220.48 (down £93.14)
deffo easier than nl10 but still struggling to deal with all the bad beats especially on river,not mentally but it does annoy me more than anything. without that ***** river card i'd have won £50 lol anyway,back to something like normallity today,at least i didn't lose. lol
Very nice mate, Have you tried 8nl yet? hardly any regs there, and atleast you will get less chance of peopel sitting in for 80p ect lol Posted by shaun09
no m8, just played nl4 y'day. might try some nl8 today.
it's my brothers 50th today so going shopping in Exeter for the day,so will have to get grinding as soon as i get home. have a good day shaun. dev
Hi Dev yeh it took me quite a while to get to grips with the so called bad beats, 2/4p you could have AA go in big and still get callers with 4-3 off, don't mind, that's what you want, but it does happen 4-b-b-b-3, got you, sick but that's poker. just don't worry about it, just do what you been doing, wait, wait and bang, someone will normally call you, then its down to poker gods.

thanks Glen
yeah i know it's optimal play going in with the best hand but that river is a killer. as i said i would have won £50 or so without all the bad beats,but hey that's poker 4u.
see i'm at 5th in the cash champ challenge. hoooray.
got rest of the day to play now.not sure if i should risk nl10 again,or stay at nl4 with maybe a bit of nl8 thrown in? probably the second option atm i think. not much point finishing say top 3 if i end up losing 2 or 3 hundred is it. anyway,an hour or so sleep i think then its go go go until late.
Id say play 8nl tonight (drunks on) if you get up a few buy ins then open 6 tables on 10nl. i wouldnt do 9 or 12, to much for your br and as you have just turned to cash. gl with what you do.. im knackerd lol

hi m8, not surprised u r cream crackered you've been putting in some hours i know. still only 8 days to go. lol (think of the money)
yeah played nl4 10 tables and nl8 2 tables tonight... did ok report to follow.
nice win tonight,happy with how i played,i think. not getting carried away though,as i know only to well just how up & down sessions can be,especially the downs. lol made some good folds i think,which i'm sure has to be done,even though i don't like doing it. played pretty aggressive and was raising a lot more than ever and bigger too,which has to be helping my game. not going to post any hands up tonight as i'll only post them up after a losing session.
I was surprised just how different playing cash was to playing mtts.....I found that out the hard way and jumped in at the deep end rather than starting at the bottom and working my way up.
Think you made the right move by moving down to 4 and 8. I remember the advice given to me by others when I had my cash diary on the forum, stick to a level you crush then think about moving up.
Gl in the cash champ promo, I hope you get a nice top 5 finish to reward all your hard work.

ty ryan, yes tbh starting at the bottom has to be the way i guess.if you can't beat the lowest level what chance have you got against the better players,especially long term. gl m8 dev
