Yeah i have done well over a very large sample of husngs but still doubt myself after the odd bad session which is rather frustrating- i guess i just need to be thorough in going through after sessions and being brutally honest with how i'm playing hands and whether i'm making bad decisions good decisions etc, yeah no problem do you just want you overall HU stats? from a certain date/certain stake etc
Not alot to report- played aload of HU games since i last updated over 120 and i'm around break even i think proving tough to really regain some good consistent form HU but i'm hoping i'll get there. I redeposited some profit the other day as i realised withdrawing such a chunk from my roll for no real reason was not nesseccary.
Played some 10nl for the first time today since i last updated, went quite well 2 tabling mastercash had a couple of big hands both of which i was not totally sure about my play i will post both hands in a minute, ended 3 buyins up also made the nittiest fold of AA to a reg i have alot of notes on a pretty safe board, it may of been the wrong fold but limiting my losses is something i want to get better at in cash and i felt that the oppo would definetly not raise me on the flop with anything less than two pair- pretty much narrowed it down to two pair or set based on the board so was happy to chuck it away and lose a small pot.
Planning on putting in a very long session tomorrow from mid afternoon at 10nl so will report how that goes, so for the moment just want to play a decent amount of 10nl to see if i'm capable of holding my own at cash and also get the HU profit line on the right track.
This was the main hand of the session, i havn't played with oppo alot but from the time i spent on the tables he seemed like a good solid player. Think this is the 3rd or 4th time i had 3bet him so felt like he had had enough and was ready to play back at me , the sizing made me think he wasn't mega strong based on how i had seen him play previous hands. The river decision was tough as i felt i was only beating a narrow part of his 4betting range, but the small sizing and fact i had been 3betting alot and he was possibly getting frustrated made me call which i'm not entirely sure was right, but it was nice to see one of the only value hands my hand can beat.

This was the only other big hand, nearly folded the river but decided that oppo would do this with just the 5 so was happy to be right.
Started a session at 13.15 with another player i know duonross on mastercash2 10nl, we are planning on playing for 24 hours straight if possible, might be a bit optimistic but going to give it a go lol so if you fancy be donated some money over the next 22 and a bit hours come and sit down for a bit. Going to be a long slog.. going to need all the luck i can get.

Youre mad! I did 18 hours with 2 short breaks, by 2 am I was halucinating! All the best we have to have our challenges in life dont we?
lol i hope i don't get to the point of hallucinating, had some long coursework sessions so feel like i'm capable , no doubt have some interesting pots to put in here tomorrow
Thanks Dev, should come join if your on the tables at any point will be good fun, lots of money to be won lol
Just seen that the site is closed between 4-8 for maintenence, what a nightmare will definetly play till 4, then be back on the table at 8 as soon as it opens again, kind of beats the point but ahh well will still be a challenge and be 24 hours in total,probably be harder to have 4 hours off and come straight back pro plus wll definetly be needed.
lol yep by narrow part of your range i guess it means 1 specific hand, was a bad call i think in hindsight, won some back off me earlier though! gl at the tables.
I got myself in a bit of a mess. felt the hand was good enough to re-raise pre flop and decided to represent a strong range. flopped really well and carried on the line hoping to hit the flush or K/Q. Thought you might fold most Aces on turn except AK. On the river had the problem where my hand was too strong to check and lose value from but knew you had a few hands that beat me.
interesting to know what you do if the river is not a Q? Even though it shouldn't change the decision at all.
I think i would of folded to a jam on the river if i didnt pair up, which is why in hindsight i dont like my call as the q doesnt really change anything, but as your sizing had been so small on flop and turn i was expecting to only have to call another cheap bet on the river maybe like 6 pound or something i would of called, i play alot of HU so im a complete calling station, good to see you have moved up from crushing nl4, how you getting on at nl10?
I tried to size the bets to set up a river allin - because it was 3 and 4 bet pre-flop I didn't need to bet more than half the pot at any time. The idea was to show strength not weakness
I am up about £50 since moving up - including losing £20 today. A lot of set up hands for me today, hopefully better luck tomorrow!
Oh and a few well timed bluffs that people refused to believe!
Well you fooled me as i thought it meant weakness, just an unlucky river really. Good luck at the tables say hello if you come on my table tomorrow, will be massively +ev as i'll be knackered lol
12 hours down, half way through havn't had any kind of low yet have a nice 500bb stack so should be up since i sat down, will post any interesting hands when its all finished tomorrow, one big one was an awfully timed and oversized 4bet against duonross that led to me getting it in with a8s against 10s and getting there which was pretty sick for duonross and awful from me, played some husngs on the side which have gone ok and the main and mini which i couldn't get anywhere on maybe a couple of bad all ins with less than 10bbs.
The plan is to play till 4.30 when the site closes, come back on at 8 and then have the final 8 hours and 45 minutes to do, think that is actually going to be detrimental the 3 and a half hour break as will come back v-tired having switched off for a bit without any momentum, but i'm sure it'll be easy enough just enjoying playing and the challenge of playing for such a sustained period of time, hoping the table runs ok in the morning and doesn't break up too much never really played at that time.
Just been chucked off the tables for maintenece, 15 hours and 15 minutes down, the last couple of hours was probably the most fun i've ever had at a cash table lots of players donating money and having a laugh in the chatbox, must be really profitable to play this late. Don't even feel that tired, probably helped that it has been a profitable few hours, time to swtich off for 3 and a half hours then back on the grind.
Site only just re-opened after some extra problems during maintenence, back on the tables looking foward to the next 8 hours finish around 6ish, hopefully it will go as smoothly as yesterday, suprised my table filled up so quick as well didn't expect anyone to be on straight away. Going to play a few HUsngs on the side today and hopefully get to 3k in points to reach £45 in rewards which would be nice and closer to my optimistic target of 5000 points.
I started a thread like you ages ago on here asking what was the longest session people had done because I was thinking of doing exactly what you're doing now.
The maintenance thing does suck, that's gonna have messed you up in terms of sitting round for a few hours, probably knackered, before going once more into the breach.
GL, any +£ amount will be good from that kinda grind.

Had 2 and a half hours kip lol sat and read 2+2 for hour and a half when i woke up refreshing the skypoker page wondering how long the delay would be, doesn't matter really more just proving to ourselves we can grind for a long period time, suprisingly not hit any lull or tiredness- did some long hours when i was finishing c-work so think im used to it, plus much easier when your enjoying playing- only had like one hour and a bit peroid when i got alot of offsuit junk so had to be patient. I should end up in profit barring a lot of coolers in big pots- the standard except for a spell last night when some regs was on has been pretty bad tbh, so easy to get paid off when you make hands, and players in general make it very obvious when they have big hands, the only tough spots i have been in really are levelling wars with duonross because we have played together so much in the past. Have yet to have a £10 loss yet, think i had 5 +£10 pots yesterday, will be interesting to review at the end.
