Hey dev, it helped that i was pretty much donated 200bbs on two occasions yesterday, not expecting it to always be so smooth, with my style of play i will no doubt have some hefty losses as well. You are grinding out some small consistent profits at the moment which is a sign that you are finally getting to grips with cash after the long slog, i reckon you have got past the hardest part of adjusting to cash now, soon you will be crushing. Noticed that you, tintin and stfc have all been at my tables recently making the jump up to 10nl, it is definetly a mental thing getting used to the bigger wins and losses i think because all 3 of you are alot better than the average player i have come up against.

hi benc, 200bbs x2 must be nice. lol yes mate,i had 200 bbs given to me the other day with my AA aipf v QQ nice when it happens. lol
yes I've also had tintin & stfc at my tables,on and off,so looks like we are all making the move up, at the same time,which should be interesting. yes it's definitely been a real struggle for me anyway playing cash this year,but as you say hopefully that's the hard bit done. lol got my bet sizing about right,i think...when I do bet obviously. lol which has taken some time to come.
glad to see you winning again mate, best wishes dev
Bought a mouse today, so much better for multitabling than using the laptop mouse, can't wait to get a monitor. I have adjusted to 4 tables really quickly so 6 shouldn't be too difficult. Just finished a quick session, another profit but more importantly i made some folds i was really happy with- limiting the amount i call off is definetly the key to me making profit consistently i think, got to revise for a bit now which is irritating as i found a very nice spot on a table, still i'm sure there will be plenty later. I have sorted a spreadsheet out now so will update an overall profit/hours etc weekly or after like 25 hours of something in here and stick to reporting each session individually day by day.
Happy i got paid off here, knew having sat at the table with him for a little bit and noted what oppo was doing that he ould lead for pot if he was v-strong- so decided that i could bomb the river and get paid by two pair/-sets/lower straight.
lol yeah i thought that after, i went with that amount because if he did have the lower end of the range i put him on e.g some strange two pair (he did just complete the blind ) psychologically seeing an all in is different to just seeing a large bet especially with how much he has behind so i thought if i put it all in it gives him a chance to find a fold whereas a big strange bet is more likely to be paid off, although thats probably just me thinking too much about it.
Decided to reg the £2.20 rebuy whilst revising- helped me stay patient in the mtt but didn't go so well earlier on i had aj v j10 ainpf against a person who was putting any two in would of had a big chip lead but they floped trips 10s- then i raised QQ into a big stack limp call of q8s and they hit a straight on the turn after calling a cbet- maybe could of got away on the turn but wouldn't of had much of a stack left and just figured if he had it gg. Going to play the mini tonight along with 3 cash tables and put in a good few hour session hopefully.
Just finished a session i started at 8.15, decided to put a decent grind in tonight as gf is back home so i had nout to do, didn't set a certain amount of time just thought i'd end when i was tired. I decided that after having £70 profit behind me since yesterday i would play all the mastercash tables at 10nl and 20nl - effectively taking a bit of a shot but not to an extreme level as i have a solid roll behind me for the stakes im playing and i've played and lost big pots at 20nl 200bb deep so know i'm capable of playing my normal game without worrying about losing bigger pots.
Anyway it turned out to be a good decision, the tables were fairly soft early on then a few regs turned up but i didn't get into any bad spots really and ran good to make a couple of big hands and get paid off. Really pleased with how i've been playing, even managed to avoid stationing down out of curiosity tonight which is rare.
Day total: Hours: 5 hours 40 minutes Profit:£100.72p
So with yesterdays profit of £53.54 its been a really good couple of days, didn't even know that kind of money could be made so quickly at these limits- must be running pretty above ev atm but enjoying it whilst it lasts.
it is a surprise I myself am always surprised when I get a profit over £10 on an action or nl4p. hope it does continue. what I would say myself is nights are when the pot sizes seem best.
Thanks Craig- yeah have to factor in that alot of them hours were played on friday and saturday night when alot more rec players are on i would assume.
Thanks dev no doubt you will have similar sessions soon especially when you become comfortable enough to add more tables. I bought a new buddha today so think i will attribute my zen like poker play tonight to that lol
So with things going so well on the cash tables are you sacking off the HU? Or why not play MTT's on a reg basis too? Afterall they say a good MTT player can not neccassarily be a good cash player......but a good cash player can easily adapt to MTT's
lol i'm giving HU a rest for the minute yeah i have some hu vids i will get round to watching probably in june as my confidence is pretty crushed in them atm, for the moment i wan't to concentrate on cash so when i''m not revising for my exams i will be watching cash vids/reviewing hand histories and hopefully doing enough to make sure i can consistently do well at the levels i'm playing. I played a couple of mtts tonight, i will maybe play the odd one here and there as i always have- think i would need to do alot more work to grind them properly. lol i have seen that said a few times, i don't really understand it tbh, to me cash is like the early stages of a tournament but with the slight adjustment in that you have the choice to mix it up a bit more knowing you can instantly reload, with mtts there is a very fine line and the guys who consistently pick the right spots make v-good players, i definetly find mtts harder than cash not sure why guess different styles suit different formats.
i wouldnt say im taking the step up, ive just been dabbling a little over the weekend, i was playing 1 or 2 tables along with nl4 on friday afternoon before going the full hog and loading up 9 on friday night. done ok and posted a win of about £30. i only done it because i felt like a change to try and help with my concentration as it was starting to wane a little over the last week. i certainly wont be playing a lot there til after next weekends promo is out the way,

Ahh right fair enough, just noticed you at a couple of my tables. Are you planning on grinding for the cash promo then? whats the max amount of tables you play? would love to have a go myself but my exams fall the wednesday and thursday after so will be having to up the revision.
Quick hour and a half session, was going to go untill 4 but the tables got a bit slow and felt myself getting impatient so ended early, planning on listening to the football and getting some revision in hard to resist the tables when i'm on a bit of a heater. Anyway i played 3 10nl and 1 20nl mc table session started off really slow think i got ak in against a shortish stacks As then floped tptk v another shortys set so pretty standard, then a couple of ill timed bluffs on nl20 good thing about 4 tabling is that don't have time to reflect on how much your up/down so just insta reload to max and keep playing. Anyway eventually won a massive pot when i hit a fh against lower fh, will post in a minute. Another good session of profit, but could just as easily been a break even/loss session is a very fine line, just nice to run good in some big pots takes my ov-prof to £198.29 over last couple of days- just hoping that when the harder sessions come i deal with it ok and don't spew off aload of profit now i've built it up. Have hit £55.60 in c4p as well, don't think i will make the 5k target but will be a nice bonus whatever it ends up as.
I will see what is required before committing myself to anything promo wise. I'm glad it's more of a sprint this time but will know soon I suppose tho I do reckon I have no chance of being top for various reasons. I just hope it mirrors the first part with all levels have a chance to win.
Lately I've been sticking to 9 tables but have at times had 10 running. I can play 12 but dropped a few when things weren't going great. I've not tried more than that but I reckon I could do 15-18 and keep up with the game play, I just don't think I could play that many profitably tho
Not sure about my play in this hand on both turn and river - don't want to be results oriented so if anyone has any feedback on flop and turn feel free to share, ok to flat pre here right? oppo X who 3bet was pretty aggro but seemed tricky and willing to make some big move so didn't want to have to 4bet fold. I'm happy to check behind on the flop and try get to a cheap showdown or catch my J/ should i be betting here? Nearly raised the turn but decided i would try and keep in oppo X and obviously river is the best card in the deck as i felt oppo Z may be holding Qs but thats so unlikely once the river comes.
