In Response to Re: Every Don has its day. : I guess you'll be joining the tonnes of nit regs at 10nl that refuse to stack off with less then AA pre and a set post. Agree with percival's view on every hand. Posted by NColley
Also agree with Percival, you have to stack off with your KK there and how on earth did you not go broke with your set of JJs mate ? unreal how you got away from that for so little
I just hate the way Hand 1 is played though.. 3x... tiny 3bet despite a caller, tiny 4bet from Donald, tiny 5bet from villian. I think we can virtually 100% narrow him down to AA, KK and if you're lucky QQ, unless we have notes to say he's mental.
Does he stack off to a 6bet shove with QQ, very very likely if that's his action with QQ but I think his range is weighted more towards AA than it is QQ
Sure has AA sometimes, but to say the shove is horrible is a horrible comment in itself. We can get away from KK rarely in preflop spots, especially 6max, it's even more difficult to 4bet/fold KK. QQ we can get away from I agree, but I do think sometimes villain will just randomly stack off with QQ or something. I've seen it a few times before where I've been close to folding KK pre to tiny 4/5bets etc, but it's just right to get it in imo, if he has AA nh, just a set up that wont happen v.often at all
Trully did go back to MTTs today. And rekindled my form. Came 4th in top of the posts last night fwiw. Didnt play well was very tired so maybe could/should have done better but happy all the same, £20 is £20.
So today i started with a roll of 209.17. I entered a semi sat, made it so still have that to play.
However mostly was limiting losses, taking heads in bhs making a small loss. However I entered the 3.45 speed bh and 3.55 scary mtts.
Results.

got unlucky in the bh, average stack 15BB 3 handed and a speed, 66 into QQ then KJ into AQ. Standard stuff, both where blind on blind. Cant complain though.

Started well winning the semi, very weird, why do people slow fold hand for hand, i mean why. 30 left 28 seats and £6.60. Takes so long to go round blinds go up on my BB 2 rounds in a row. That mean i was all in on SB on the stone bubble. Got there tho and that sealed me the seat.
I played some rebuy, never lost a hand in rebuy period, couldnt buy a hand after so didnt make cash -£6 there.
The main went well taking a head early. Then a table move where everthing went wrong. Made a "questionable" call with 66. BB was all in for less than a big, i open SB shoves. I know i can be better than flipping here alot, and flipping even more. So i persoanlly think its a call, which i made. This was one of those occassions where i was crushed. Left with 7BB i shoved QJ and busted to 44. Standard stuff.
The mini my exit was crazy. 3x open and call, shorty shoves slightly more 3.05BB i re-shove 20BB with 88, peeler of the origional raise called with A4. 4x4 flop.
I put a bet on for cheltnam today which because it was a lucky 15s and i had the race that got cancelled it hasnt been settled yet - tilting. However i was going to withdraw bet profits and deposit for losses. So just be aware atm £6 is missing.
I started the day bored to be honest. Think i played one mtt but didnt last long, cant really remember i think i did, could have imagined it. I defo did do one on stars.
However onto Sky. I played NL10 for abit. Flush over flush shown on tv. Ignore the result of that i requested it for long term feedback, glad redmond said i played it near perfect dont need to waste the diary reader time now lol.
I 3bet a guy i seen as very tight several times, inc 3 times in 5 mins, eventually he snap shipped 100BB - the time i had KK, i was like yeeeehaaa, till he turned over aces. Meh standard.
One weird hand and TPTK v set(AK v 99) on 9xxK board meant it was alosing session. Although i did recover to keep the losses to less than 3bins - just.
So i went back to my strong point MTTs. Had a mare with pc meaning I could only do 2. The 5.30pm bounty hunter and 6pm guarenteed.
I finnished a respectable 3rd and 4th for a combined £60ish. Could have been more in the bounty hunter as i misclick called off half my stack 5 handed with 63o. No excuse for that kinda thing, misclicks on final tables are just not permitted.
Not been on the forum for a little while but saw this and had to have a quick look. Keep it going Don matey.
The race moved to Thursday bet happened to me too. I did a lucky 15 but e/w and have had 2x4th places and a winner with the thursday race to come. I have Big Shu picked so hopefully that will fill me up on the place bets at least.
Glad your enjoying the poker and this particular diary has more of an upbeat feel to it compared to the last ones which at times seemed like you were slightly suicidal.

congrats - is this the same Don as in 2012?
ps good hand to show, as many would be results orientated and fear the overflush, whereas the analysts are all very clear on the need to value bet flopped flushes, even low ones.
drsharp u massive luckbox lol i had a 2nd and nowheres - serves me right for picking the horses with 3 legs lol.
Ty good to see you by the way.
I spent alot of time correcting some issues Geldy. The time away from poker and spending it enjoying life was much needed. Won't go into details as I'd rather not. Thanks for comments

Thanks Daz was going to play MC last night but was to tired and recorded it. Just a redic fold with QQ mate. Great example of how accurate notes make a massive differance though.
Had some beer so appoligies for the poor quality of this post.
So i played some bounty hunters. So i got 1 head, and no cashes. Great.
However for £8 i got into the £11 main. I took an addon for £11. For £5 i bought into the mini, i took an addon for £5.
No cash in mini, was well stacked until i got moved to a table with TommyD and Goodylad. Tommy pwnd me in a spot - i know you where bluffing tommy, i just hadnt had enough beer. Then goodylad won a flip for the rest of my chippies QQ v AK most standard thing in tournament poker.
So the main. With some luck, spewing, some more luck, more spewing, more standard hands, more spewing, then i a weird hand for my exit. Annoying as i was tempted to ladder with a 2/3BB stack on the other table. I woke up with jacks in the BB. Im on the 4 seater table. UTG opned 3x. I have 9.2BB and the BTN has peeled. I find the shove. UTG folds i think we next hand i have 33.5k (6.5BBmore) and the BTN peeler snaps with QQ. Erm ok nh sir.

Not till saturday mate. Going to a live sat for the Scottish Championships tonight, dates for that are horrid but since im missing out on the SPT mel has agreed to let me attempt for this, since its only in edinburgh im only an hour away. Good luck though expect to see some more great great hands.
Just to be advised if I dont post for a while im playing the Micro millions. I may play a little on sky in the background which i will update on but for this week my main focus is there. I just feel it would be incorrect to post up results for that here.
I've had a reasonable start to the MM, one cash but that was in the HU event where i wet pretty deep - only 6 wins off winning the whole tourny. I feel i should have got passed the specific opponent that i went out too, but at the same time my opponent on the bubble was pretty handy.
However the reason for the update was due to me playing some MC yesterday. Only one of my hands got shown though. However overall i think i did ok. I had a few areas where i should have won more, and 2 or 3 spots where i could have lost less. However overall im happy with the session.
