blonde poker forum

I was just reading Tikay's diary and his reference's to all the diary's/blogs of people on blonde, so it's prompted me too start one,why not.My writing skills are not great and poker ability not much better  ;D

And if you don't like smileys then i'll probably tilt you loads

And if you don't like drunken posts i'll definitly tilt you(this is the first one :) )

So,basically i've been getting coached by MC(as part of a group that i'm not sure I'm allowed to put up per the spam rules etc) playing the 45mans and it's going well so far.This will be the fourth week we've been doing it and i've made a decent profit so far and i'm really enjoying it.I'm currently 20 tabling the $6.50 & $12 45mans.

On a sidenote i'm seriously thinking about doing this on a more serious level,at the moment it's just casual but we will see.I currently work 8-4 5 days a week and it's not what i want to do for the rest of my life,i have a decent job i'm a qualified accountant and if i wanted to put the effort in there's a job waiting for me once i got my degree earning 50k a year,so you might think  why not just put the effort into that and your sorted;thing is i'm not motivated by money I want to do this because it's something i enjoy doing,yeah i do enjoy 20 tabling :)

So that'll do for now if anyone's interested I can assure this won't be a typical die in a month type thing I'm serious about doing this and I waste hours on here doing nothing so I'm sure i'll have time to update this for the 2 people that will fellow it :)

I can also assure you there won't be one bad beat or moan on this thread as that's the beauty of 20 tabling you don't have time to care.

Before i go....

Goals for 2010,let's see how many i achieve

1) Make supernova
2) Have a 10k bankroll off the 45mans
3) Bink a 5k+ score

Will add to this in the next few days but that'll do for now

I will be doing a weekly update on the bankroll

Starting bankroll : $350
Current bankroll : $2163 ( i owe part of this out as this weeks split)

Good luck with this.

20 tabling? FFS!

glgl Monda!

Win it all m8

Thanks.That's what i used to think lol,all i can say is tableninja is the absolute nuts

Mond, did you start off at the $6 level with your bankroll or did you start lower?

Any tips for new players?

Looking forward to it. If its going to be about poker please don't just post when you are running good as many bloggers do, warts 'n all IMO..........

Started at the $3 level got upto $650 then played the 6's then got to $1300 and played a mix of the 6s and 12s

As for tips,play super tight early and super aggro late on,better players on here than me to give you tips at these though :)

Nah mate you'll get the full kit and kaboodle (is that even a word a know how it sounds)

MC actually felt i was running bad so guess that's a good thing.Think i've already shown I'm a warts 'n all type of person with some of my posts on here lol.It probably won't just be about poker,especially fri and sat night haha.

good luck Mond

Translator required must be prepared to work weekends and unsociable hours.

Fancy lowering yourself to those levels for comedy,disappointing,very disappointing

whats your stars name mate, summat like mondanewc?

GL with the diary and keep playing those tourns.

pardon

So close,mondonewc

LOL,stop digging

can you spell that for me? I'm not understanding the accent

LMAO,just reminded me of my first day in vegas,sitting in between bh and jones and some dutch guy starts taking the huff with me where like eh ? wtf ?

Dutch guy says to the dealer " can you tell him to speak english please"

BH asks what language the bloke thinks i'm speaking

Bloke replies "Dutch"

LOL

I stilll think this may have been a set up but pmsl.

Ooh, a new Diary!

Good luck fella.

Good luck with the new diary Mond,
How beneficial have you found the coaching?

Best of Luck Mondo.

Extremely,nothing major but just little leaks that have sorted out my strategy at these.

Thanks for all the gl messages everyone,always have my biggest grinding session on a saturday so no drinking while watching the match then straight home to grind,commitment or what :)

I think the diary needs a better title tbh. how about a little competition to give it a name?

Blatant 'I wanna be in the well' thread...  ;)

Know what you mean, but it's so much easier to write something when you've had a good session and are feeling good than when you've had a really shit session and just want to get away from the computer!

Keep up the good work dude, don't use the thread to bitch about me please :)

Good luck sir, hope the diary and the grinding goes well for you!

LOL

As for the name change i kinda like this one,dunno why but I do

I actually prefer to type stuff when i've had a bad session as it makes me stop steaming for some reason.As stated in OP this will be a bad beat free diary though,i hope.

After seeing that you had been playing the 45 man ones, i thought i would give it a go. have won a couple this morning, not playing in 20 at a time though, i struggle with 2!!

Will be reading this with interest mate.

GLGL

Gl Mond :)

You started with $350, & now have $2,000+? That's splendid.

Will you update the "running Bankroll" for us regularly? We'll have a celebration when you reach $5,000.

When you have a bad day, & your mind is poker-frazzled, make sure you Post. How people react to bad days & adversity fascinates me.

 ;popcorn;

Good luck Raymond you fecking lunatic.

I would have volunteered as translator but my first effort failed drastically.

Geo

Yeah I'm really pleased with how quickly I'm building a roll,esp since I've been shipping half my profits since around the 800 mark.MC has to take good amount of credit for it,cheers mate.I wouldn't say he's made any major changes just fixed a few minor leeks and stuff but it's really showed in my results.

I will plan to update after every session,I spend loads time on here doing nothing so can't see me not having the time to spend 10mins updating.Will definitly not just be posting when i win :)
The thing with these is,for me anyway, you know your going to get hit by variance at some point so when you do have a downswing it doesn't hurt as much as it will for the big field mtters as you can just put mass volume in to get back up.In the time I've been playing these I'd say I've only being steaming in one session.

So onto today,had by far the sickest session yet...

Stakes  Games     ROI           $

6.50       22         9.1      13.00
$12        38       131.6     600

Current bankroll  2776.03 (still have to ship 50% of this weeks from this which is about $600 )

Rungoodaments :)

Going to have a break then probably play another 60.Can't believe I'm staying in on a Saturday night to grind these haha,very sad i know.It's only coz I'm cash busto but still seems wrong.

Haha,fun times

incred results yesterday monda, 4 wins @ the 12s.

That was some day yesterday, well done.

Make a note of the Page no in your Diary, & when you have a really bad day, look back & re-assure yourself.

I'm going for March 31st as the day your Bankroll breaks the $5,000 barrier.

No second session yesterday ended up going to town :)

Guna give grinding a miss today feeling pretty tired and although my volume figures are poor this week I'm obv happy with how the weeks gone.Think I'm going to try and play more during the week so I don't have to grind as hard on the weekends.I like put in a full session during the day on saturdays before going out but generally struggle to motivate myself on a Sunday.

Did a session with James earlier today and was pleased how that went,we normally go through a couple of tourneys and he'll spot about 5/6 hands where I could've/should've played it differently.First tourney today said I played it perfectly,second was one hand where i shoved light so really pleased with that.

Gotta do weekly report and then just gonna chillout and watch couple films or summit.GLGL everyone in all the majors tonight

Shipped the share of profits and I intend to grind hard next week, aim will be minimum 400 games.

Current bankroll : $2162.78

Nice start to the diary Ray.

Can you tell me a bit about your job and accounts qualifications etc

Also am I right in thinking if you get this rolling well you seem to be thinking of doing it full time?

I find it really interesting on what motivates people to take a shot at going pro.

:D

Good luck with this.   Will try and read.

I'm a qualified Accountant, AAT Technician Level (level below degree but have letters after my name :) )

I work for a medical company,mainly involved in the management accounts and just day to day aspects of the business as well as budgets and forecasts etc

I started doing the final qualification which is the ACA(ICAEW) course which you need or equivalent level to be a Director,Don't want to make excuses but I'm going to lol,I failed exams first time round when I had a bit of personal shit going on that really distracted me,to cut a very long story short I bought a house with my cousin got screwed over and I was liable for half the house and didn't expect them to keep up the mortgage payments so was worried I might have to go bankrupt which would ment my job prospects were fukd for want of a better word.Anyway went on to do resits were i failed by one mark FMEL.The house shit was all going on at this time still plus other stuff so decided to take a year out,It's know a year on and I'm totally not motivated to go back to hitting the books and also a bit dejected at the thought of another year working in an office 9-5(well it's actually 8-4 but 9-5 just sounds better innit).

At the moment I'm still debating with myself what's the best thing for me to do but it's never been go back and study,thing is it's not because of my recent poker exploits that have me thinking this way.I've felt like it for a while now I keep asking myself why I'm doing what I'm doing and I never have an answer.My current thinking is if all goes to plan I would like to cut down my work to 2 days a week,I think i would enjoy this as it means I can keep human interaction for one :) and then make the rest of my living from grinding.You seem to have a lot of things going with your worklife and probably enjoy it but I wonder how many people that play the game casually would prefer to be playing poker for a living or work 9-5 ?

The main reason I'd like to do this is basically I really don't enjoy my job very much whereas I really do enjoy the pokers.Sure after a while it will become repetitive,boring,just like everything else etc etc but I'm pretty sure that I'd still enjoy it more than I currently am going to work.I'm probably one of the very few that's actually thinking of taking poker more serious for reasons other than just financially(obv money always matters unless your minted, mbn).As I mentioned in my op the job offer is there for me to become finance director and I'm still very confident with the motivation and the time spent I'd defintly be able to pass my exams.Problem is i'm just not motivated by money at all,I'd rather be happy.

LOL,i see what you did there  ;nemesis;

I've started watching The Sopranos again recently as it's up there with the best tv progs ever for me.

Anyway Tony (the main mafia guy for anyone who doesn't watch it) goes to see a shrink,The shrink gets attacked by some bloke in a car park and he rapes her.The guy who did it gets caught stragiht away and charged but then they have to drop the case on a technicallity as some mistake was made with the evidence.She then thinks about the fact that she could get Tony to kill the guy as they've become quite close and she knows he would do it if he knew what had happened.They have the next session and he asks her if she's ok and she says "yeah just had a car accident" moments later her cane that she's using drops and she gets a big fright, he knows there's something up so he says "are you sure your ok,is there anything i can do" to which there's a long pause before she says "No,I'm fine"

My question is would anyone not get him to "sort it" as such ? Imo he would 100% no doubt deserve it and I would definitly want him to.Interested to see any points of view of those who think otherwise.

Don't see why not. Personally I would get Tony to spite rape him back.

Thanks for your reply about your job, Ill respond later.

This Diary is coming together nicely - keep it going Bud.

I didnt think you would appreciate my reply Tony, but thanks Ill keep up my contributions to Monda's thread, no probs Bud. ;)

That's one of my favourite Soprano's moments. It's just chilling because you know what will happen if she gives the nod.

I think Melfi didn't want it doing because she no longer needed it doing. She had regained power through her acquaintance with Tony. She knew that no matter what he had done to her if she really wanted to she could have him killed. That knowledge is what helps her to get over it so well. The only reason he is alive is because she has allowed him to remain alive.

^^^^ Mine too.

I get what you mean but thing is,in his mind he's got off with it scot free basically and as he has no idea about her acquaintance with him he isn't affected by it.Obviously she decided against taking revenge and I assume the writers choose for her not to take revenge to have the contrast of good vs bad,but I don't think it would've been bad if she'd done what most would do (i think that's what most would do maybe not).

PS I didn't quote you Matt because when the scroll comes on the right hand side after i type every letter it auto goes back to the top so i can't see what I'm typing,anyone else had this and can i stop it it tilts me hard.

Haha,I was thinking minimum castrate him.

Love the sopranos.. not quite as good as the wire, but still wicked

Would I ask Tony to 'deal with it' if i was in same boat?.. I would like to think not, but then again if it was a family member or close friend I guess it would be tough not to give the nod..

Reasons for not would be that I dont think it would truly help you get over something like that... it wouldn't really get rid of the hurt... maybe not the best analogy but its a bit like the old 'path to to the dark side' stars wars thing

God luck with the diary and your poker exploits - looks like you off to a flyer!!

I've had this happen before aswell but only on explorer. Seems fine with firefox.

Another favourite Soprano's moment.

After Tony has taken Arthur's (Artie's) Restaurant over and takes the bad debt on as well.....

End of the epsiode we see Furio knock on the debtor's door and he answers.....

We didn't need to see the rest :)

Didn't play yesterday as was still pretty tired off the weekend and don't like playing when I'm tired.

Won't be playing today either as I'm up at me dads to have tea,having the nicest ham in the world FACT.Every Christmas we get a turkey or ham from work,I always get the ham and me step mam cuts it into about 6 pieces and freezes it,it's huuugggeeeeeee.So having tea and watch the man u game.Obv with a few cans :)

I have to play a minimum of 375 games a week but it's fine to average it out over time,I only played 260 last week so I'm intending to play a lot this week.Will definitely be putting session in tmoro and thurs ,will probably try and play 100 each day but see how i feel.

Just went to have a look on betfair and found i had £10 in my account I didn't no i had,Bink.

[  ] Epic spin up to follow
[X] Prob put it on an 8 fold and get 2 results correct

favourite clubs/nights in Newcastle?

Yes, all the time...

Never watched The Wire,is it similar.Will give it a look.I agree it probably wouldn't help that much but it would take away the anger of the fact he'd basically got away with it.It clearly in this case helped her just knowing she could as Matt said.You obviously can't ever no what you would do unless you where in the situation but I think if it happened to my wife/mother or someone I loved I couldn't leave it.

Cheers for the gl.

Probably is that as I use firefox at home and don't have the problem.

Furio was really good character while he was in it.I'm starting series 3 at the moment mostly just watch an ep or 2 when I go to bed.

Couple of favourite moments so far...

When Christopher's stoned at Tony's mother's wake and talking about DNA and how they can't prove it's true,abs PMSL.

Also although it's nothing just the bit when Meadow's boyfriend Noah says "He's lucky I didn't knock him out " about the racism,haha couldn't sop laughing at that

Loads of others I could put though.

Agree if it was someone close then it would be incredibly tough to let it go.. not sure if i could or not

The Wire is the stone cold nutz.. Its different to the sopranos, but essential viewing  

My favourite club at the minute is prob Baby Lynch's,really good club.I like Digital as well.

So many good nights had in town,one that happened recently was we'd been to the newcastle game can't remember who it was against and then went to The Hotspur i think it was or one of the bars along there.Anyway,there was a jar of pickled eggs behind the bar and me and me mate said to two off the other lads with us we'll both give a tenner each for you two to eat them all and they where up for it so I ask the barman how much for the lot there was 15 in the jar,he thought i was joking so just laughed I said no seriously I'll give you a fiver so he went and asked the manager and said ok.So he comes back and we get him to put then on a plate so the bet is on,they had 20 minutes to eat them all but they weren't allowed to have a drink or spew.They eat about 6 or 7 in five minutes and are getting dead cocky that it's easy etc,then they really start to struggle haha.Prob eat about one in the next 5 mins before one of them says he's going to the toilet,obv we follow him and hear him spewing in the toilet.We say they can still win the bet if the other one eats them all.He eats like one more,ROTFLMAO.

Said we where staying out til 10 obv end up at baby Lynch's flipping for cocktails til 3 in the morning and the same kid who's pretty busto loses 3 flips in a row and is devastated,Haha good times.

To say I'm abs steaming would be an understatement sjkfhaslgflskdjfk

Obviously variance was expected to come so that wasn't a problem,in the middle of a session down about 350 but well set in a couple so confident of breaking even.Then computer crashes ok don't tilt too much just restart it my computers really quick so not to major.Restart computer load up stars straight away obviously tables all over the place so sort that then load up tableninja.Then a get a message saying error with tableninja WTF,won't let me do anything finally get in and everythings wiped,FMEL impossible to play that many tables without it so abs steaming now.fjahdlfhlakglaksjg

Recovered in a couple but nightmare start to the week

Current bankroll : 1917.78

I need a strong drink

Fukn great!!!!

Setup Tableniinja again last night everything seemed fine,started session today playing for about 45mins and same thing as last night happens asbhgkjsldkgfaskljgkasj

Going to get in touch with tn and see wtf is going on is anyone else having problems.Won't be doing another session until I know this it's properly sorted,abs joke.

Managed a 2nd in a $12 so only down $90 but still pretty tilting

Current bankroll: 1824.28

Don't know when i'll next be playing, volume this week guna be really poor now hhhmmmm,have put a post up on tn so hopefully get it sorted.

did you completely un-install, re-download and re-install TN? might be worth giving that a try.

Doing that then waiting for a reply on tn forum

Ugh, man this sucks. I've never had any problems with TN so don't know what to advise. Definitely save your configuration somewhere when you've set it up.

I had the config saved so that was summit.See what tn response gives and will just have to 9 table the next session or two and see if it happens again.

Off out to get drunk...

Have a wierd dream to tell that involves a member of blonde but taxi's just come,i bet nobody will guess who ?

Is it sexual?  ;sexybanana;

Haha,no.

It was about Byronkincaid,someone I've only met once and don't no much about.

We had just arrived in Vegas and where sitting in a hotel room,we where sitting playing poker but the hand was dealt face up,Byron had k5 I had k9 he says to me "you wanna play this hand for rolls" I had 8k with me just as I'd took last summer.So I knew his hand and he knew mine so I was a bit confused then said ok why not,he then said lets up the stakes make it 30k I was like WTF ok,he then said make it 37k,eh ok.He then proceeded to do the flop turn and river all in one on his mobile,I looked at the screen and just seen the middle card was a 5 so started kicking off he said calm down you hit trip 9's weeeee bink.Then for some reason my boss from work had a shoebox with 10k in and was steaming and gave me the 10k and said you'll get the 27k in a minute.I got my 37k got a flight straight home but on the plane I was feeling bad that I'd took the bet when If I'd lost I couldn't have paid.I got home told my family I'd won it in a tourney then the dream ended.

So many messages in there I'm sure,was such a strange dream especially as I hardly ever remember my dreams and they seem to last 2 seconds but this one I remembered vividly and seemed to last ages.

Hey Mondatoo
Good start to the diary.
I've got some PM's from you from 2008 offering help with my AAT or advice on what to do after.
Just got my final AAT exam result and passed it. Still got to do a project to get the letters after my name but i'm taking this Summer off before going on to do CIMA so no rush. Would probably prefer to do ACA but it's harder so thats a put off and my current job is managment accounting based so i'd have to change jobs to do ACA and I feel i have a bit of job security at my place and owe them a few years work for helping my through my AAT.
Just wondering what sort of work you are doing at the moment?

GL with the poker

Congrats on the results wpwp

I'm also doing management accountant based mostly the company accounts as well as produce consolidated invoices they're probably my two main duties,my firm wanted me to do the ACA so I was fine with that.It is the hardest of the further qualifications and as I said I've had a rough start with it and I do think I'll take a time-out from studying for a while now.GLGL in your future studies.

Can i just ask why you started studying as an accountant and why you wan't to carry on with it ?

LOL, random!

Reasons may be rubbish but here goes...
I lived abroad for 4.5 years but went to a British school. The majority of people there are pretty well off and pretty smart. They plan that you do your GCSE's, do your A-levels then go to uni. That is how you get a good job. Nobody leaves at 16 and nobody goes of to learn a trade (plumber, electrician, etc)
Came back to the UK in time to do GCSE's and went on to do A-Levels as i thought was natural. So sat there in 6th form looking through a uni prospectus trying to decide what to do at uni (thinking this is my only option). Had no idea what i wanted to do (that's a lie - i wanted to do International Football Management at Bucks uni but my Dad wasn't having it) so decided to do a business based course to leave my options open for after uni. I always thought i'd be good at marketing so that is what i had in mind - do a business course and pick the marketing options.
Ended up doing something like Accounting, Finance and Business at De Montfort. Dropped out after a term. I liked the uni life but i didn't enjoy doing just 2 hours a day 4 days a week. It was so little teaching time it didn't keep me interested.
My dad is an accountant and the company i work for now is the company he works for. I told my Dad i wasn't going back to uni and i was going to look for a job while i decided what i wanted to do. A week later somebody at his work quit in the admin department. It was only scanning, photocopying etc but i wanted to work so i took it. I did that for nearly a year with the intention of going back to uni to become a primary school teacher when somebody at work who knew i'd planned to do accountancy as part of my degree told me that they were taking on a Trainee Accountant in the Newcastle office and wanted one in the Leicester office too would i be interested.
I had got used to earning a wage and the thought of doing that while getting a qualification was appealing so i took it.
It was unplanned but glad it happened as i enjoy my job. I did get sick of studying at one point but think i'm over that. Just a bit tilting/depressing that at 22 i was sat in a room studying with 19 year olds. Wish i'd done it straight after GCSE's.
I can't see me doing accountancy forever but i want to continue studying just so prospects at my current company improve and i think it would be good if i moved into other parts of business. Might be going into business with a friend and the more i know the better really.

You missed the bit where you lost it all to me playing pool.

Don't do drugs kids or you will end up like this.

I never get poker related dreams.

Christ, really? I get them regularly. Almost always that I'm play live NLHE, and I misread my hand, or it keeps changing every time I look at it, or I have 3 or 4 cards, or something like that. No doubt means something or other.

Ah, that's where all my money went!

I quite often dream that I win some big tournament and am minted, and am rather disappointed when I wake up to find I'm not!

That's the big thing for me,It's so important to enjoy what you do imo,you spend to much of your life at work to not enjoy what you do.Football management would've been immense,fathers eh :)

I don't have very many dreams about poker,I've had a few about being back in Vegas and it's always with different people.

Yeah I have a very vivid dreams about previous jobs and doing my A-Levels, Uni Exams etc. Never poker which is good imo, shows it doesn't stress me out and I can switch off from it.

About to start a session now,only guna play 12 tables today so if it happens again it will be managable,could do with a decent day if I'm guna manage some profit for the week.

You want to try dealing poker for ten hours a night , i dont just dream about it i actual deal in my sleep ha ha mind you going back as a croupier  soon so might be bitharder  to spin up roulette in my sleep lol

Not a great session today,loads of min cashes, 4ths and 5ths,sigh.Managed to bink in the last one I was playing for $60 profit at least.

Had no problems with tn so that was a bit of a relief.

Kinda frustrated that I've played 6 hours and only played 80 when could been like 120 but nevermind.

It's going to be my first losing week which is disappointing but mostly just down to the tn problems.Things should will be back on track next week.
 
Current bankroll : $1884.28

Anyone know where I can find the structure/results for the 300 UKIPT side event for the Manchester leg ?

Cheers

Thinking of playing the main at Coventry if I sat into it or might put a staking thread up to try and sell 50% haven't decided yet.

http://www.ukipt.com/tournaments/structure/

UL last week. am sure you'll get back to crushing soon!

Yeah looking to grind hard this week to make up for last week.Hopefully everythings fine with tn now had no problems with it on Saturday.

It's the 300 side event I wanted the structure for,the one you luckboxed in Galway :0

Anyone been playing the sats on Stars,any info would be appreciated;runners,seats,valluuooo ??

Loving the Diary.

Please don't mock, but what is "TN" please?

Table Ninja ldo.

Thanks,tn is Tableninja it's a software program that you can preset for loadsa helpful things such as bet sizing,keys are set for fold/bet/check/call and you can auto pop up the table that needs action plus lots of other helpful things,it makes it possible for me to 20 table so when It crashed on me twice last week it basically screwed up both sessions :(

internation football management at bucks uni? incred!

Good grief!

Soon there'll be a bit of software that you just dial in an aggro factor - say 1 to 10, (1 being me, 10 being Flushy), & the software will play the Tourney for you, & you can go to bed, then come back & see how you done.

Hope this week goes better for you big man.

LOL,maybe :)

Interesting thing happened last night,imo that got me thinking a bit.

I decided to go play live last night as I hadn't played a donkament for a while,min cashed after losing a flip for the world but that's not the interesting bit,obv.

There was a bloke on my starting table who was shall we say" a little slow".He said he'd had a stroke not so long ago and that he really struggled with short term memory so I decided to put a bit effort in with him as he was struggling to remember what the chips where worth,anyway he busted earlish and when I went on my break I seen him playing roulette so went to rail him for a little bit,he was playing about £50 and didn't seem to be minted so was routing for him. I watched for a few minutes before having a sit down but kept watching but wasn't paying much attention.I seen he binked when he had £10 on black so the croupier pays the bet and leaves the chips on black,I didn't think nothing of it but then realised he'd forgot he had put the bet on so didn't realise he'd won previously,I was think whether to tell him or not but then it's to late so I'm routing for him hard to bink and it comes black again,nice life haha.He said he had forget so he was pretty pleased mbn etc.

Anyway I'd never thought about it before but they do this deliberately hoping people might be too busy doing other bets or summit and forget about the win,obv not many people are going to forget.It's obv not the croupiers responsibility to make sure you remember but should they have to move the chips off the betting line ?

Also It never seems to suprise me how com live donks are,three times from three different people it goes raise, re-raise,massive overbet,fold and all three times they show Aces followed by "I don't want a call that's why I bet so much I always lose with Aces" hahaha.Loads of other things to laugh at but we'd be here allday.

Nah. If they did, you'd have loads of old nits going mental because of the silly "never change/remove a winning bet" superstition that old nits have because they took it off once and the dealer hit that same number again.

Where did you play live? How you do?

Played the Stanley 20+1,finished 7th for £75,sigh

Got a decent stack and was bossing the final then QJ<<<<<<<66 put me short got the rest in with 56<<<<<<<<A6 and gg me,some guy folded his button with 22 with 2.5 bbs :) .Standard was obv really bad but I just can't justify playing live especially with work the next day.I sure run good in live donkament finals

Just had a small session only played 40 as I'm pretty wrecked off just 3hrs sleep,Just above breakeven which I'm pretty pleased with as I ran pretty bad and managed to bink a win in my last $12 game

Back on the grind properly tmoro,hoping to play at least a 100.

Current Bankroll : 1899.48

Good read fella :)up

(I think)

That's why I love these 45 mans. You can run terrible all night long but you might still get out at the end with a bink.

Yeah it feels good as well to get out even though it's not great to have breakeven sessions.It helps that when I have been running bad so far It's been worse in the 6's than the 12's.

Frustrating session tonight,managed a small profit again but was looking like being a lot better a few times :(

Played a 100games which is good at least for the numbers,I'm totally fooked now though, not stopped since 8 this morning and I'm lazy.

Totally bokked myself with the comment about running better in the 12's,sigh

Back on it tmoro planning to play 60 then a mammoth session due on Sat,at least 160 and hopefully run better to have another good week.

Current bankroll : 1912.28

Another frustrating session,got it in way ahead in tons of huge pots and they got there,sigh.

I'm kinda pleased that I know I'm playing alright and that despite running really shit I'm breakeven,hopefully upswing will come tmoro.

Current bankroll : $1845.26

It's going ok mate, just be patient. if you feel you're getting them in at the right times, you'll soon be holding more often.

Keep it going and gl.

geo

It's obv standard and expected,just giving an update really but cheers

meh not much to say regards to your challenge as you obv know it but just keep going. pick me a score for newcastle game to bet on tomorrow and first goalscorer.

1-1 Draw Carroll last goal,haha realised afterwards that was the as the Swansea result :)

Seen you picked them too but I do think Villa are good value they're are a good attacking team who could get at what imo will be a weak Man U defence and if Rooney doesn't play they should be much shorter than 7/2 for me.

Another run good Sat session weeeeeeeeeeee

Gotta go out at 5 so had to cut session short,got 5 left and deep/semi-deep in all so could be huggggeeeeeeeeeee :)

Pretty chuffed since last couple weeks been pretty poor

Get them all won ldo ~ beer will taste much better after.

Quick question and dont take this the wrong way. Why do you feel it's necessary to give up 50% of your profits in these games. Fo sho, the coaching originally can fix some leaks, fix some ranges, but is it really worth it long term? Why not just get a few coaching sessions, once you know your calling/shoving ranges what more can you really learn apart from running better. Or do you see this similar to Roscopiko who got coaching with Longy and gave 50% of his action, but finished it after a month with these exact intentions at the start of the deal. FWIW Longy knew about this and it's obv not too bad for staker because h's basically gaurenteed profit. Anyway, bit of subject yeah. Feel free to remove this post and pm me if you like.

1st a 2nd 2/6 in the last one that'll have to do i suppose :)

I will reply to this tmoro :) No problem with the question though.

Ran sick good again in the 12's, played 35games roi... ... 172%  ;D

Played 60 games total and finished with a profit of $681.50

As said above really pleased to have things well back on track after the tn carry on then running breakeven upto today for this week,repeating myself again but as I said that was obv standard when it was only 200games,If i can keep to having breakeven sessions when I'm running bad and keep having sick upswings then should be looking really good.Will be playing a small session tmoro plus have a coaching session with James.Going to set myself some goals for March to aim for as I like to have targets and It'll engourage me to play more as my volume's been pretty poor this month for one reason or another.

Glad to see you hit an upswing man.

You've had the complete opposite day to me. Can I have my run-good back please? ;)

LOL cheers,a suppose you can for next few days but then I want it back :)

I think the coaching he is getting is probably based on a deal that lasts for several months

surely it would be +ev to pay for the coaching and then do it on your own dime though. giving up 50% at the volume he is putting in for months seems silly. if this was cash obv it would be completely different. anyway nevermind, im sure he has a good reason and will read tomoz.

So...

Basically I was really keen to get a well known Blonde who I knew was crushing at these games to do some coaching with,I had previously done coaching with Alex and that's defintly the best way for me to learn as opposded to watching vidz/reading online.James linked me up with the people he's involved with and I liked the look of it so applied for the coaching and away we went.

As for the giving up 50% that is for a 6 month contract I agreed to and I have no intention of not honouring it.Short term obv nobody want's to have to ship 50% of there profits every week but long term it's defintly +ev for me.Hopefully I'll stay involved with them after the 6 months is up and If things continue as they're then they may want me to get involved in the coaching side of things which is something that might interest me.

Just read the thread from the start. Few questions if that's OK?

How many tables did you start with and how long before you moved up to 20?

Does TN stack/cascade tables for you? Do you use HUD?

If you see a lot of good regs already registered do you not sign up?

Whats you desktop set up. Screen size? More than one screen?

How long sessions do you play? I guess you play evenings (Are you still working or taking time out?)

GL with the grinding, great thread

Watched the Old Firm derby before and loved the Charlie Nicholls comment after the game,you could see he was steaming and they go to discuss the sending off, he said something like "Kyle Lafferty always seems to have an input in these games,bit it's never skill because he doesn't have any" PMSL wp sir.I loved the passion he showed as you don't see it from many,reminded me of the way Ian Wright was when Eng lost at the WC,can't think of anyone else like that though.

Ability it was Mond and hes right Lafferty is a big useless twat.

I like Jamie Redknapp, I think he can be passionate at times and he speaks alot of sense.

Going to set myself a couple of aims for next month and see how i do :

-Reach Platinum Level
-Make $2k for the month
 
Current bankroll : 2344.78 (after shipping the % split)

I'm pretty condifent I'll achieve both especially making Platinum.

Long post oncoming

So I've decided that I don't want to carry on studying for the time being, I already referenced to this in my OP and although I'm sure most won't believe this the poker hasn't altered my thinking with this very much if at all; I had pretty much made this decision 6 months ago but let it drag out till now as I was on a year out. My boss was fine and agreed that If I wasn't motivated and going to give it 100% which I said to him I wasn't then its best I did stop. So I have my current qualifications as an Accountant but I won't be an FD anytime in the near future. I'm not sure if I'll ever want that again in the future but at the minute I definitely don't.

And so to my next decision. I also spoke to him about the pokers and how things were going well and the fact I have been playing more seriously. I ask how he'd feel if I were to cut down my days to 2-3 days a week because I wanted to play more seriously. I wasn't expecting a good response to this as he always talks about poker as just another form of gambling.Surprisingly he was understanding to what I wanted to do and fully supportive, we agreed that we'd do it for a trial basis and reassess things in a month's time. I know am very lucky to have such a kind and helpful boss and have a lot of respect for him and I'm very grateful.

So this is a new chapter in my life I suppose and I'm really excited about it,hopefully things will continue as they've went so far,I'm confident I'll at least be able to make as much playing as I would going to work so the fact I really enjoy It will be really good for me.I also think I'll enjoy my job a lot more just doing it on a part-time basis as well.I fully intend to stick to my accountants job no matter how good the poker goes(unless a bink the world in a donkament obv ) as it will always be something good to fall back on as I currently see poker as short/medium term opportunity for me.

Seems like a good result. Doing the accountancy less might make you want to carry on studying sometime in the future if you get the hunger back.
Good luck with the poker though, hope the extra time is beneficial

Yeah maybe it will,guess you never know what the future holds,I certainly didn't think I'd be giving poker a go as an income 6 months ago even, lol.

are you sure he wasn't just nodding politely because he didn't understand wtf you were saying?

good move though ray, dropping stuff from your life that you're not enjoying/don't want to do is generally +ev

Haha,possibly

I've had a good start to the week which is nice,esp as I'm doing it more serious now.

I'm going to try to stick to the same layout now so it's easy reading :)

Couple questions some people may be able to help with please :

Is Proplus better than Redbull ?

When is the best time for me to be grinding these full time ?

The second questions a bit complicated since I want to try to keep a reasonable sleep pattern as I'll still be working Monday and Tuesday and don't want to be grinding Friday night.

I'm currently debating between playing 10am-6pm - 12pm-8pm wed/thurs and maybe adding a 10pm-2am session with that then 10am-6pm fri/sat and have Sunday off.I know the peak times for volume are 5pm-4am ish but MC plays during the day and I don't think he has much problem putting the volume in,and advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Congrats Ray
Am I right in assuming that $5.5 per game is a pretty good return at these?

It's above expectation.

ROI for this session was 44.5% in the 6's and 59.2% in the 12's.

I think most of the good players at these run at about 20-25% for the 12's and 30-40% in the 6's.

12's seem very good for you, future leaderboard star if you carry on at this rate
You may well be close already for the last 500 games 'boards!

I've been running well at them so far,hopefully it'll carry on :)

Good goal for Owen at the weekend buddy.

Such a shame he had to go off injured tho, i was gutted for you.

Haha,I was just thinking when he scored on Sunday maybe I can at least get a run for my money.GG NH WP :(

You're slightly misguided there dude.

Checked out how the Top 5 in leaderboard on Sharskcope for $5-15, 4-6 table on Pokerstars do in these at the 2 buy-in levels.

$6.50 45mans = 21%, 26%, 24%, 19%, 24% ROI
$12 45mans = 13%, 24%, 11%, 15%, 18% ROI

Glad to see you're doing well though man...

Obv I misunderstood a convo we had about roi's,I know I'm running hot at the minute though.

What do you think about the best time for playing ? I'm pretty flexible.

It's hard to say man, there's perhaps less regs in the daytime but less games running also. I like my schedule of 9-5 and Longy said in his blog he's liked that system since he started it. Ideally though peak time to play is probs more 5pm-3am if you can hack that timeframe...

Do you find it difficult to get 20 tables going then or is the volume still decent enough

Fkn ridic just had same issue with tn again don't no what the fuk is going on,1st day of properly grinding I was intending on playing 2-10 ffs, got onto there support need this sorted properly and soon. ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr; ;grr;

How many do u feel you can play at once without TN Mond?

Managed to only lose $40 but still not really the point since I can't get back on it til i've got this sorted  :(

A small update for yesterday as I never got no more play in,I've currently got the support guy on msn just waiting for him to finish up with someone else so hopefully should have this properly sorted today.

LOL...

Going through the steps to sort it and there's now a problem with the tn installer that he's also having on his computer,great start :(

Hopefully get this sorted this afternoon so I can at least put some sort of decent session in,FMEL

 ;frustrated; ;frustrated; ;frustrated; ;frustrated; ;frustrated; ;frustrated; ;frustrated; ;frustrated; ;frustrated;

No word back from tn support yet so by the time i get this sorted doubt I'll get to put a decent session in today now,tilting me hard that I've now basically lost two days nasdfhladkfpasdf

Really hope i get this sorted by the end of the day so I can play a full session tmoro at least.

Rant over,for now :)

Why not just play old school and 12 table while TN is down.

I struggle to even 9 table without it,They dont seem to know what the problem is we've totally uninstalled it and removed everything related and reinstalled it they think that will have sorted it,told me to play $1's for a couple hours now and see if it's ok.So I'm off to 30 table these and see what happens,weeeeeeeeee.

Need some suggestions for Music to get as I'm sick of listening to the same playlist while grinding and don't have much music ?

I like most music but to give a clue at what I like my current lot is made up of: Arctic Monkeys,Red Hot Chilli Peppers,Kasabian,Editors,King of Leon.

Something Corporate
Jack's Mannequin
The Academy is
Jimmy Eat World
Pigeon Detectives

gogogogogogo

TN seems to be working,deja vu ?

Hopefully won't have anymore problems with it and can get a full session in tmoro.It was kinda wierd coz I didn't want to run that good at these lol

Sure am wating any longer for a response back,off out now enjoy your weekends everyone.

Just read this quote from Michael Owen on bbc, He said: "I have loved every minute of my first campaign with Manchester United and have already enjoyed some memorable moments.

"I am determined to come back at the start of next season in peak condition." O RLY, Hasn't he been saying he'll be back in peak condition next season for the last 6 years ?

For music I recommend Frank Turner. Jimmy Eat World are ace too.

Last.fm is great for music. It can track what you listen to and make recommendations for you. You can then stream music you like, music people that have similar taste to you like and music it thinks you'll like. You can enter the name of an artist and it will play them and similar artists. You can enter a genre or keyword and it will play music for you.

'tis great.

Pretty sure I'm just going to totally wipe my computer in the morning redo windows 7 and then just install tn,hem and stars on this computer hopefully that will solve this.

For any of the people clued up on computers I'm right in thinking that my computer with :

Pentium Dual Core CPU E5300 @ 2.6 GHz
4.00 GB RAM
64 Bit

Should have no problem running 20 tables on stars,hem,tn and windows media player ?

Just caught up with this thread, good going sir.

If im honest its what got me motivated to make a go of these SnG's.

Noticed u've had problems with TN, i've had it a week now and had no problem what so ever except on thursday everything basically stopped
so spoke to a friend and he said "have you downloaded anything recently" "yes, limewire" his reply, "you idiot" so i got rid of it and everything went back to normal.

Hope this helps.

I've totally wiped my computer and started a fresh been on with the bloke allday sorting everything out,he was top notch I must say helped me set everything back up.If I have any more problems now then I'm pretty much at a dead end with what I can do other than buy a new computer which just shouldn't be neccesary as this one is more than fine for what I need it for.I am going to buy a laptop anyway as a back up computer incase anything ever does cause it to crash, I had intend to do that anyway.From now on I'm just going to use this computer for poker only and do everything else on the other one when I get it sorted.

how long you had holdem manager?
My pc was always much slower after installing that

It struck me that this diary was missing something:

Poker machine just for poker. Less shit goes wrong.

Yeah this is the plan from now on

I've got a stonking hangover this morning,probably not great if you forget you went for another bottle of vodka and can't remember much afterwards.

Only one fix for it,go out :)

A fine read so far sir.

Run Like the Sun etc

I listen to a lot of dancey indie stuff as it is easy to grind to and doesn't affect my concentration.

Would recommend: Friendly Fires, Delphic and Passion Pit all who have had a good recent albums of that type.

I have went and bought a laptop today with vodafone mobile broadband so I can keep my main computer for poker only and this for everything else plus as a back up for any problems,please no more crashing tn.Will be back on it from tmoro and hoping to put some good volume in this week.

On the subject of music - I went to see The Courteeners last night. They were brilliant and well worth a listen. Support was Detroit Social Club. Not had a chance to check them out but they sounded really good last night.

Well the computer was fine so that was a relief.Ran bad on finals at the 12s especially but happy with how I played just standard.Off to me dads now to have a curry and a few cans and watch the match.Think I'm going to play 2-10 tmoro see how I find that.Just experimenting with what I find best really, today was alright and will probably settle to playing at this time but will see.

Holiday?

Decided to go down to 2 days a week so I could play full time for a trail period started last week,you must've seen the long post warning and faded it :)

Much better day today,started off not great as well had 0 cashes from 1st 22 games of the 12s so I'm pleased with how it went.Think I'm going to stick to playing earlier I played 12:30 - 19:30 today but was feeling really tired the last hour.

lol...

Haha,you still running bad ?

I've just started listening to Eminem's old music again recently,I cant stand his more recent stuff which is just tripe poprap music (is there such a thing as poprap ? ).Imo he is one of the greatest songwriters of my time at a minimum.I know a lot of people will see it as all just cursing and no meaning but if you really listen to it and ignore the swearing I think most would struggle to not be impressed by his abilities.I went to see him live when i was 15/16 at Milton Keynes with my brother and bestmate,paid £80 per ticket off some tout company but it was well worth it,we tried and failed miserably to get into any clubs but had a quality time.50 cent was also supposed to perform but didn't which we where glad about as it meant Eminem was on longer,it was a great concert,probably best I've been to.We got there dead early so we could be near to the front as it was just on a field with no seating;somehow we ended up singing a few songs while we waited to be allowed in including Happy Birthday Bobby Robson,70 green bottles hanging on the wall and my mate for some reason ended up singing Barbie Girl which got a few laughs/weird looks haha.We did manage to get really close which made it much better.I've also seen Coldplay,Richard Ashcroft (twice) amongst others but would definitely put Eminem at top of my list.

I got Vodafone mobile broadband with a limit of 3gb a month yet it's saying my volume usage as been reached when I've downloaded 50mb ? I'm i being stupid and missing something or is this correct ?

Volume usage is just a figure that you set yourself. You can change it to anything you want.

I set mine to 500mb, and when I've used that I change it to 1000. it doesn't mean anything, it just helps me to keep track.

I see, will change it.Thanks.I'm not to clued up like the kids with modern technology :)

Anyone else noticed this bug on tn;It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes when it's the 1st hand it doesn't pick up the tourney so the pokerstars icon is flashing but when I'm clicking the mouse button it doesn't pop a table up and when I've looked it's always the 1st hand when this happens ??

Another run bad day at the 12's,a pretty frustrating day after I was up about 450 after 2hrs but nevermind,was to be expected a suppose but looking forward to the upswing :) 6's went well so was an ok day still.Also reached 10k vpps for the bonus,ship.

I was watching The Jonathan Ross show on I-player last week and it had Lady Gaga on it,she made a comment about how "nobody in the music industry liked her" I found her comments confusing at first as I don't see why nobody would like her, yeah she's a bit wierd and quirky but so what.Then I felt a bit sorry for her because if that is how she feels then no matter what she says that will be partly upsetting for her,but when I spoke about it with the people I was with tnite they said don't feel sorry for her she's got a lot of talent and she's doing well for herself so you shouldn't feel bad for her,but does that really matter ? Then I was thinking is it ever possible to actually be honest about how you feel with this type of thing since if you say "I think nobody likes me" then it can only be took two ways;either ur an attention seeker who doesn't actually think that and just like to be pitied/the centre of attention or people are like that with you and thus they're in the wrong and it's a shame,generally people will always think the 1st way as that's human nature,the mind is a wonderful thing :)

Another frustrating session,ran horrid deep in 12's again but I'm actually happy with breaken even for the session with how bad I ran.Playing a small session tmoro prob and that'll be it for this week.Enjoy yout Saturday nights.

Or your a horrible person that nobody likes quite rightly?

Yeah but you'd probably know you where a bit of an ahole if you where bad enough for nobody to like you,she just seems a bit different but obv I don't know nothing really about her.

We had a meeting at work today,I was already aware of the possibility of people being made redundant and it was one of the reasons for me saying now what I had planned instead of a couple months time when someone had been laid off that possibly didn't need to be.So anyway gaffer said today that someone in our department would be getting finished.I said I wanted to do this for longer than just a month so we agreed on a year and then reevaluate the situation then.Also means my cut in salary saves one of the two juniors losing there job so everybody's happy.

Haven't played today but will probably put a session in tmoro night,see how I feel after work.

Absolute joke of a session and worst yet,couldn't run worse if I tried.I can't remember last really good session I had,variance is a bitch!!!!!!!!!

I'm happy with how I'm playing hopefully the upswing will come soon.

From James' column in Pokernews....

It’s also quite cool to speak to people from many different places. I now have students in England, Sweden, Belgium, Holland and Serbia. It’s quite interesting that they all speak awesome English as well (except the ones from England, obviously).

Who put him up to this  :)

Another bad session but am pleased to have not lost a lot more as it was a pretty brutal session.It was good to do a long coaching session with James today,he is happy with how I'm playing and we looked through 6-7 comps and there was only maybe one or two mistakes/marginal spots in each which is pretty standard/good.We also looked at ev vs cev in hem which showed that I am just running really bad.I'm intending to grind hard next week to make up for this week and I'm aiming to play 1k games next week which will be fun :) GL all in the majors tonight,get the lot.

Did anybody watch the Eddie Izzard:Marathon Man programme it's unbelievable what he managed to achieve imo.Truly remarkable feat to run that many marathons and to run the last one in 5hrs,huge respect and a knighthood is due imho.It was a shame that it wasn't spread over more episodes as everything seemed rushed to get it in and I found it pretty interesting.

credit where its due, huge effort...

So fukn frustrating how I'm running at the minute.I was in for about 500 so guess I should be pleased to be about breakeven, but still.This is a time when having a coach really helps me since I easily lose confidence in myself so it's good to have someone telling you your doing things right when things aren't going great.Glad to have put in 150 games today as well as being at work,had 4/5 deep spots at the end of the session to make a decent profit in 60/40-70/30 flips for 10k+ pots,sure won any of them :(

yup saw this. Running 43 marathons is 51 days is just unreal, great effort.

The bit where they were saying he could lose a toe was pretty crazy and when he wasn't paying attention and nearly gg'd the whole thing when he tripped on the curb.It was crazy that he did other stuff like going to that festival in Edinburgh or having a look around at the war stuff while doing the marathons,sick man.

This Andy Carroll is a nasty piece of work eh Mond?  Knocked his team-mate and clean broke his jaw on sunday, nice...

Court again next month is it?

Just seen that earlier what teammate was it?

Him and Joey Barton on a night out would be a quiet one.

Someone I know was on a drink drving course about 18months ago and he was on it and said he was a really good lad,seems he may have changed.Obviously it's just rumours at the minute but looks like it is true and he's supposedly bust his hand as well,wp you idiot.Also not going to help with the upcoming court case you mention which is next week I think,decent chance of jail time now I'd think but with being a footballer he'll probably still get off with it.So annoying when he's doing well and we have a massive game with Forest next Monday.Tbf though we have been in the press for to long for the right reasons so this was obv coming.

LOL, it gets better, Carroll's ex bird sending naked pics to Taylor, so he sparked him clean out...

Are we Chelsea in disguise :)

Seen this early made me LOL,he could be better than Messi imo

Same ol' bs,I was up about $300 after 170games then proceed to do no better than min cash the rest,great game.

HEM stats to show how shit I'm running for this week are :

$ -120,000
Cev +158941.37

PS I'm sure this has become a bit of a bore for most the past couple weeks with me constant saying how bad I'm running :)

"Life is toasty" to quote a thread I've just noticed,I'm loving only having to go to work two days a week and I'm enjoying playing despite the current bad run.Since I'm updating after every session not sure what else I can say other than how i see it's going.I'm sure that a big upswing is just around the corner,sooner rather than later would be nice.

I got my first payslip since change of hours yday,It was a little bit more than I thought it would be so that was good,loving only paying the taxman £25 a month  ;D

Please run better!

Just have to gut it out man, gl with that cos a prolonged spell of run bad isn't easy to take.

Feel free to email me a hand history and I'll have a quick look through, but like you said, didn't notice you doing too much wrong on Sunday so it could be variance hitting all at once.

I'm not getting to down about it tbh,Obv it's frustrating but I'm sure it is variance.No doubt of me not grinding thru it,like I say I'm still enjoying playing which is kinda wierd I guess but I'm just looking forward to that big upswing coming.

Smaller session today as got stuff to do this afternoon,bubbled the last $12 when i shoved Q3s from sb as I was shortie and bb snapped me off with Q4 flop 34x gg me.Think i might start wearing protective goggles :D

Do you have some back up money?
Will you have to withdraw to top up your wages?
Or are you just super life shrewd?

My wage from work covers all of my outgoings with a little left over.I intend to withdraw 1k a month from the pokers as that's close to the difference in my salary.This month though since I've had a shit month I'm only going to withdraw $600,I wouldn't even withdraw that much but I owe a friend some money.

I'm certainly not super life shrewd though,do you never notice my bets lol.

Ha ha, I havent actually.

Makes sense though, just being a little nosey as Ive always wondered how some 'pros' survive when they arent doing so well.

When I discussed it with James he said minimum I should expect to make on average is $1 a game so playing 700games a week thats roughly 3k a month.Even if I had a really good month I would look to just take 1k a month off so overtime with a bigger roll I would still be taking 1k off after a poor month.

I find it hard enough even when I am doing well. No matter how much I make it always goes somewhere. :(

Coming to end of a session,I'm currently down $20 with 7 left:

12's I'm 1/11,1/7,3/9

6's I'm 5/5,14/19,3/15,24/28

Odds on me making profit from the session ??

Finally...

After more eye damage all day today finally managed to bink a couple to finish and have a good day,I was thinking another shit day with 20 left so it's a bit of a relief to finally have a good session.Hopefully this is the start of an upward curve.Also got a $50 bonus for reaching 15k vpps and made Platinum which I'm really pleased about.

We had a £5 game between 3 of us just for summit to do i went out in the 1st one then played double or squits for the 2nd got hu with who won the 1st game i shoved all in with Q7 he snapped and he's pretty nitty so i sigh gg me he shows Q3 weeeeeeeeeeeeee,flop comes 972 niceeee,turn 3 ..... river 3 gg me haha.So i owe him a tenner so say we play split the deck for it he agrees i go first and get 9c that'll do,he binks an ace sigh I'm down 20 I say double or squits again he's game he pick a 9 i pick a 6 sigh down 40 obv I wanna go double again he doesn't really want to so we go 20 but we change the game we have 5 dice from the poker set so we play highest score wins he rolls 24 FMEL i roll like 14 or summit so down 60 then we double again he rolls 26 WTF give me a break obv I can't beat that so I'm in for 90 now within 5mins sigh.Play high card again for a tenner to round it off as he wants to stop obv I bink a king wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii lol play again for 20 and a win again and he wants to stop but was pretty com.We then play a drinking game where the "dealer" rolls two dice say 8 and the other person rolls 3 so has to drink for 5 seconds was pretty com.

PS is it wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii or weeeeeeeeeeeeee

In the $5 I was upto 4k but now down to 2.4k lost the minimum with 1010 vs AA,got 13.5k in 11r

Maybe I might learn summit about the pokers today ???

The conundrum of how best to play AK ??

I've started just flatting with it early levels oop but think you have to raise here with so much deadwood,is cbetting really bad here ??

Upto 19k in the 11r  :)

Think I just stick it in pre I know it seems like a bit of an overbet but there is about 1500 in the pot already (500/1000 blinds effectively) and we have about 11k.

Something really spooky just happened,Me mam is doing some work in the house and replaced the air vent in one of the bedrooms and there was some old piece of newspaper put in which she took out.It's dated 22/11/1969 just one small sheet of paper but there's a picture of a women who is the spitting image of my mam I thought it was here at first,how wierd.The paper was Reveille any of you older ones ever read it,the woman's called Thelma Krieger.Also the paper is still totally readable how long would it take before it would decompose ?

I raise it to that much to try and induce a light shove from one of the big stacks

Down to 15k in 11r JJ<<<<KK

Meh it is a $10 donkament doubt any of them are thinking beyond their cards, if you trying to do that I would make it smaller. Your raise size is just a bit in no mans land and you are just inflating the pot with a hand that misses the majority of the time.

Cbet is too big as well imo, better making it about 3k and try to get him to shove draws you are ahead of.

Not playing the 8r just gonna play these two and the freeroll got a mate coming around soon to have a few cans and watch sunny in philly watched the first ep the other day and does look pretty com.

First part is true I guess as I say I was thinking by making it above standard then it makes it look like I want everyone to fold but as you say doubt any of them are thinking that much but as for the cbetting tho he only has like 4100 behind so whether I put him in or make it 3000 surely makes not much difference at all

Down to 12k in 11r :(

That's why i prefer playing the 45mans,Don't think I could stand the variance playing big mtt's all the time.Only spent like $10 playing them so could be worse :)

I'm thinking I might grind harder during the week so that I can have weekends off since I like to have a drink at the weekend and it's no good playing the next day.

LOL,sick rubdown

PMSL!!!!

Just been watching this Scottish comedian on youtube seen it already but still LMAO,I remember thinking when I seen it last year he could be really big,he won best newcomer at Edinburgh Fringe.He's on in Newcastle next month pretty sure I'll go see him,enjoy.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeyajsCZej8

Only caught the end of this last night.
Don't know if it's his or others work, but the gags i heard him do I have heard others do on the comedy circuit!!

He's no Jason Mansford imo.

I like Mansford but think he's a total copy of Peter Kay who ripped his jokes from others previously so just feels a lot like regurgitated comedy but meh still funny I guess.

Meh,pretty sure with him winning best newcomer at Edinburgh festival that most of his stuff must be original.

No play today as I've been out with me dad,grind harder next week.Makes it easier to grind obv when things are going well so be back on it properly next week.

Thanks, will now avoid Jason Manford like the plague if he is as shit as Peter Kay.

Absolutely chuffed at the win tonight.It was a massive result and I think it's safe to say it's a matter of if not when we get promoted now,wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Obv we are guna get crushed next season unless A****y leaves but let's not worry about that yet.

lol, you sure are good at english

Do you read much local papers/Newcastle info etc Mond?

Random question, but have you been linked with anyone from Swindon Town by any chance?

Haha,I was thinking this morning did i get this the wrong way around pmsl

[  ] Anything to do with my English
[X] I'm a little slow :)

I check nufc.com most day and sometimes check the local rags online,Had a look at the Journal this morning and never seen anything about a Swindon player ?

 

Charlie Austin?

was sat near Calderwood & Thompson on saturday @ Hartlepool/Swindon thats all, doubt its anyone from Hartlepool  :D

I assumed so, just wondering if any goss 'oop north about it...  Probs just a free sat out for them in delightful Teeside  :D

They were away to Hartlepool on Saturday.

Think you missed my 1st of 2 quick ones!

Yeh good win last night promotion secured. How many players do you think you need to buy to have a prem strength team?
We were talking about the 15mil rumoured to be available and whether that was enough?
General thoughts were that you'd have to get some good deals to stay up like buy a defender but also pick up somebody like Senderos on a free.

Senderos is a decent shout.

Imo, we should keep the following;

Krul
Enrique
Collocini
Guthrie
Carroll
Lovenkrands
Guttierez
Steven Taylor
Smith
Ryan Taylor
Routledge

Meaning we need about 10-12 new players.

A fit Barton and Nolan are good enough squad players,We have absolutely no chance of staying up with our 1st team now being anything other than squad players in the prem,Enrique only definite who's good enough to play in the prem,he's a class act.15million is nowhere near enough,imo.It's pretty simple,if Ashley stays we're 99.9% coming straight back down,if we get a new owner who'll put decent money into the club then we may have a chance.

Agree with most everything you usually say on the forum, so I'll take the Nolan line as a level. He is awful, he has scored goals in Championship, barely none since xmas btw and is the slowest, most static immobile player I have ever seen. The modern game is all about being fast/strong and skillful. Nolan is none of the above and shold stay in the championship where he belongs. I agree that Joey Barton is a good player in the premiership if fit.

I agree he isn't great but he has proved he can do it in the prem unlike Guthrie,Routledge,Smith(since injuries) and since we need about 10 players then where not going to have better than him on the bench unless a billionaire buys the club.

I honestly don't think it is as bad as it looks. You've only got to be better than 3 teams in the Prem. Assuming you stay better than the other 2 that come up with you then you only have to be better than 1 team that survives this year. If Wigan lose Rodallega they will struggle and as individuals not many of the Wolves players are amazing. So many free transfers available these days and also the possibility of players improving after a prolonged spell of playing and winning.

I'm not sure about Harper but i like what i've seen of Krul so a keeper may be needed.

Enrique looks class so he's in. I think Simpson could improve so i'd keep him in the squad. I've never liked Collocini and at times i think he looks out of his depth at Championship level so i'd let him go. Taylor also rumoured to be going but that gives you those 2 transfer fees to go out and replace them. Like i said if you can get a Senderos on a free then their combined transfer fees should be enough to get a centre half in. Only seen Williamson against Forest but he didn't look bad so i'd be keeping him. So probably 3 defenders but only 1 of these should come out of the 15mil.

Barton is easily a prem player when fit and his head is on it. Smith is fine and i think Nolan should be given a chance. Guthrie is also an alright squad player. Not sure about Gutierrez but unless you get a good offer for him so that you can get somebody really good in i'd keep him. R.Taylor stays because he's a utility player. So maybe 2 midfielders for about 4mil each. Players like Stephen Hunt who are decent players but also give 110% every game. O'Hara is another one that could be available. Maybe Jimmy Kebe.

As for your strikers, on paper it looks like you have quite a few average strikers and nobody outstanding. I think that because they've all been playing regularly, scoring and winning they may be better in the prem than when you went down. I'd keep Carroll, Ameobi and Lovernkrands and maybe even Best will rise to the challenge of the Premiership. I think keeping Carroll might be key though.

Sorry for the football hijack of your diary!

Haha I love football come World Cup time there'll be more football than poker probably :)

I agree with your point but a couple things aren't likely to go as you think.One being players sold;Ashley has a habit of not putting money raised from players into the pot to buy new ones, sigh.Also the 15 million figure being mentioned at the moment is likely to include salaries,that's how he rolls.Maybe it won't be as bad as I think, time will tell but as I say for now I'm just going to enjoy us getting back to the big time as I didn't expect us to bounce straight back,we've been very fortunate with injuries this season otherwise we could've been at at the other end of the table.

Another thing that most people won't agree with is our manager is another problem,he isn't a Premiership manager,imo.Don't get me wrong he's done an excellent job and I'm grateful for what he's done but we've seen it all before we had it with Roeder previously; fans and the manager themselves get carried away by short term achievements.Not much longer than 12 months ago Hughton did an interview on MOTD saying "I'm not a manager I'm a coach" so what's changed ?That was when things where going bad in the prem it's easy to enjoy it when things are going well.Then again I will admit as I put this I'm undecided on whether I'm actually rite or not with this as the players seem to like him and maybe I'm underestimating the importance of that.Also he has done a great job but many many games this season we've won not because we've played well but due to how poor the opposition has been.After the forest game they mentioned that there where rumours going around that he could be gone at the end of the season.If Ashley stays then I'd be shocked by that as I'm pretty sure Ashley will definitely want him to stay as he'll be cheaper than most prem managers.

Can we have Fraser Forster for free, kthxbye.

Take it he's been doing well for you ?

I've heard good things about him but he's never played much for the 1st team so don't know much about him.

Yeah he has been very good for us, is a good shot stopper, commands his area well and our defence seems to trust him. So what more could you want really, we need a goalie for next season and he would be far and away the fans 1st choice currently.

Shit session today,I was tilting after the umpteenth(sp? :) ) time of losing when crushing so decided to stop as I felt it was starting to effect my play.I've never really felt like I was really tilting during a session before;I would say it's down to tiredness and a little bit down to the fact I've been running shit for so long now.

It's been a pretty shit 1st month doing this,hopefully April will be better.

Will be back on the grind tmoro,there must surely be an end in sight to how shit I'm running soon,fingers crossed.

Not trying to be funny, but if you're aspiring to play these games semi professionally you need to be able to deal with this kind of thing without feeling too sorry for yourself. Posting a collection of beats is something I'd expect from an amateur.

Volume is your mother and your father. You need to be able to shrug this stuff off in the morning so you can play some more games in the afternoon.

Stop being funny

Yeah tank's right dude. I know it sucks when beats are all at once, and it's okay to have a break when you're getting pummelled left and right. But you have to insta-forget about your beats. I flopped the nut flush with AQs yesterday and had A5 off runner runner straight flush me, and I could have quite happily gone along having never mentioned it or even thought about it again. It really doesn't make any difference how you lose, just fire another puppy up!

I think I might be HIV

are you sure?

Yes, I'm positive.

Totally agree with you Tank,I only put the hands up as I just keep saying running bad,shit session etc so put some hands up for people reading the diary to look at intead of me just whinging all the time that I'm running bad,obv I'm going to get tons of beats everyday playing so many.I was tilted mostly at not playing 100% due to tiredness and not feeling like it was a good idea to grind on,didn't get much sleep last night and got bad ear infection in both ears that is pissing me off,gunna get a good nights sleep tonight and get back on it tmoro,I promise not to put no more ghey hands up :)

Yeah I was wondeirng about the hands you posted. But atm I am backed for MTT's off a member on blonde. I have ran soooo bad for last few days literally coolered so hard in huge pots or 2 outered for the world and its frustrating especially at the start of a staking deal as you try so hard and play really good but look awful. You still coming on Saturday btw? It's 6'oclock at the Gee.

I'm not 100% sure yet but will try to make it ,will pm you when I know for definite

Better day today I had so many 4th to 8ths but still had a decent day so pretty happy and it gets me breakeven for the week.I was planning on playing 246 to make it 300 for the week but was flagging near the end so thought best to cut it at that.

Been watching Sunny in Philadelphia for a bit it's pretty funny like.Just watched best ep yet was abs pmsl at the basketball with the kids LOL.

Feel like I played the best I have for a while today with my ranges spot on,Profit wise session was decent but just felt like I was on it which is always pleasing.I was looking at my cev for the last three weeks as that's about how long I've been about breakeven for and it shows $102464 $ev 675761.54 which I believe means I'm running really bad ? Is three weeks running at breakeven standard for these ? Anyway off out know debating not having a drink tonight but it's not likely that'll happen;I'm definitly putting a full session in tmoro and will be fighting fight,i hope :)

How many games? 1000 game+ breakeven stretches are not as common in these as in one table sitngos but they still happen.

heard buffet tomorrow is going to be unreal. bink the tourney + gukpt m/e seat if you win tourney. bink gukpt. bink bink bink

Played 1700+ games, I say breakeven I've probably made about $400 but obv that's not great,does the cev stat mean I am just running bad and the upswing is due or is that just a small factor ?

Can any of it be put down to growing pains/getting used to the strat?

Not really since I've been playing since the start of the year and for the last month at least James has felt I've been playing close to optimally,just strange that being the case that I'm running like this for this length of time now.

Yoyo session today,took some ridic beats to bubble four of the 12's for the world and was down over 400 but a late comeback meant it finished as a decent day.

Looks like it's Monday for promotion,suppose that'll do :)

Abs pmsl watching Soccer Saturday before,Chris Kamara is a Legend.They go to his game and Jeff Stelling says "So who's been sent off Chris" Kamara "Erm...... nobody" Van den Borre had been sent off but he had thought he'd went off for treatment ?? LMAO

Congrats to Whitley Bay as well,made the Final of FA Vase again this year.I still have to get me Dad something since the washout at Edgbaston that was a birthday present for him last year so looks like we're going to Wembley as he likes them LOL,Pretty com that my first trip to Wembley is going to be to watch Whitley Bay haha.

Get out!

Come on Wroxham!

Fancy a wager :)

I'd start singing a Whitley Bay song but I don't know any FML

A friendly $10 on stars, I have no idea who are faves but I have to stick with the Norfolk side.

LOL,me neither.Yeah $10 sounds good.

Isn't 'Tricky' Trevor Benjamin at Wroxham?

Off to have a look at who plays for "The Bay" to counteract this...  ;whistle;

LOL, websites down.

GLGL getting the lot today,win it all

Thanks.

Just did a session with James which went well.I was surprised to see despite the fact I've ran about breakeven for three weeks now I'm only about $300 profit for the year of being on the top20 leaderboard for 45mans at these stakes which in a way is pleasing but in away not since it could mean the games are getting a bit harder to beat but I'm not worried about that.Hopefully I'll have a good week next week and will bink my first sharkscope star :)

Playing a home game tonight with cousin and few people he knows which should be fun.Off out for dinner at me dads and a few pints probably.Bank holidays are the nuts :)

Sharkscope Stars tilt me to buggery.

A couple of weeks ago I was $1k away from a 1st place spot and then the swong hit.
[  ] Out of the swong now.

Just about fully recovered from the bank holiday weekend.The home game was fun although I got a lot more smashed than I intended lol,gg plan of playing on the Monday.Back on the grind tmoro,I'm not pleased with the amount of games I'm playing as I should easily be putting in 700 a week minimum,got to stop being lazy.Will definitely be improving on that this week.Will be putting 200 in tmoro and hopefully have a good start to the week.

PS Messi is incredible,sick abilities

I had to withdrew $200 to last me for this month as I'm totally busto,I will definitely not be dipping into this regularly and will only be making one withdrawal a month but as I withdrew less than I intended to it was a case of needs must :)

RSA Token came today wasn't expecting it so soon.Obv I'm a nit but why take the risk for 2k fpps.

The 4th season of Sunny in Philladelphia is incred,Charlie is abs com GREEEEENNNMMANNN

Stars server was rebooted at 12 so I'm watching a few eps before I can play.

You're not a nit, RSA token is a must have imo...

Plus it makes for good degen gambling oppurtunities in the pub without the need for hefty dice or coins.

Managed a small profit today with a 2nd in the last 12 I finished and quite happy as I ran pretty bad.Cev is 100k+ different again so it's good that I managed profit despite that.

Anybody know a contact number for ticketmaster as I can't find one other than the automated one ? If not an email address to contact them would do,thanks

good luck. they've changed their customer service policy to remove all human contact unless you turn up at one of their offices

i'm currently running so so bad, losing every race. Everytime I get it in as a 80% favourite expecting to get beat and it's really not fun playing. Advice from someone who has gone through this recently?

nit

no other tv comedy comes close. so so good.

lol

Well I'm sorry if I don't want the $22.39 I have in my account being donked off as I play watch...

Go shopping or something. Everything in the shops is basically free, since if you're not playing poker you're saving $x per hour. Bargain. And you get stuff.

Moskvich for mod

Simples,keep grinding.

Major binkage,had only downloaded first four seasons didn't know the 5th was out yet,wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[  ] Seems real

First tn started acting up as it wasn't registering me for any new tournaments so I restarted tn and stars as I was on a break.It still wasn't working but then randomly just started to work again,strange.No more problems until half an hour ago,I was on a break and had a look on bbc site to check the golf and computer locks up,not that big a deal since I've still got most of the break left.But when I get it restarted it's the same frikin problem I was having a while ago with tn FMEL got to reset it up and hope it was a one off but somethings tells me it's not going to be,sigh.At least I've got the laptop if I do have more problems but still FFS :(

Mond, what's tn?

table ninja, app to multi table etc

oh my, i am way behind the times i guess.

Better news...

I'm obviously pleased to have another profitable session with the tn problems it turned into a good session inspite of that with a bink in a $12 & a $6 in my last 2 games,disappointed with only getting 111 games in but nevermind

Seasons 4 and 5 (of what I've watched so far)of Sunny in Philadelphia definitely the funniest tv I ever watched,abs hilarious.Anyone who hasn't watched it really should.I seen the clip on Blonde a while ago with Charlie jumping out the back of the van,so so funny when you've watched it all.

Question for you and MC if he sees it.

What makes the 45 mans so much more profitable than the 27's or 90's

James will be able to answer that better than me but the reason I was interested in playing them as I'd heard they we're good games to play and where pretty soft.

I believe there is more traffic for these games than the 27's or 90's but could be wrong,plus the variance of the 90's will be far greater and you'll make less money playing the 27's.

Shorter day today but I've got a few excuses for it :)

After yesterdays problems I was worried it might crash again mid session so when I reached a hundred games with a good days profit looked in decided to stop at that.Obviously the fact it's a Friday and I'm looking forward to a few pints might've played a very small part.Enjoy your weekends  :cheers:

Good to see you back on track ;)

Cheers.It was due

Oops, missed this. $27s and 90-mans just never get running essentially.

Didn't play today as was undecided upto 2 o'clock then me dad rang to see if a was coming for the National so off I went :)

I've got to admit that I'm really quite chuffed at achieving 16th on the sharkscope leaderboard for the 45mans at the stakes I'm playing,since I've only being down it full time for a month it's something I'm really proud of,feels quite good to say that I'm 16th in the world.The aim now is obviously to reach no1.,wish me luck.

Wiiiiiiiiii Sharkscope star!

i am getting lost on games played bit. ie games in total/ games played today. If you have played 100 games 2day, and games in total are 411, is that the  total games played since start?  as that is losing me. I am thinking of changing my game from mtt's as had a great run up to 145% roi on my manly name to having a terrible run so think the change might do me good.

That's how many games he's played this week...

i c

Games in total is how many I've played for the week.I try and fail to play 700 a week.

I'm pleased to say I'm not going to this anymore,I was happy to go as me dad had wanted to but we've decided not to bother going now and do something else,I really didn't want my first trip to Wembley to be to a game I'm not even bothered about.Hopefully I'll get to go one day when Newcastle are in a cup final.

Feels like it's been ages since I played so been looking forward to getting back grinding.Full session today lets gogogogogo

gl gl gl!!! 

Chris Hughton is considering a move for Swindon's Charlie Austin after sending scouts to check on the 20-year-old striker in Monday's 1-1 draw with Exeter.

Thanks

I set my alarm for 8am and was totally knackered so stayed in bed for another hour,started session at 10:00 but was starting to feel tired within couple hours and decided to cut the session short as I didn't feel I was playing that great.I'm not going to set the alarm for tmoro and try and get a decent nights sleep and then grind all day tmoro.

Plenty of traffic during UK daytime Mond?

How many fpp/loyalty points you eanring for this, what rakeback (or equivalent) you getting for the volume you do?

The traffic is ok but not great,I can get 20 tables going but I like to play 12 of the 12's and 8 of the 6's but the 12's don't run enough to do this.I'm still not really sure when I like playing best are there are pros/cons to both.

I've currently got 33k fpps as well as getting $50 bonuses for every 5k vpps earned.Being platinum you get 23.5% rakeback which isn't great but I expect to achieve supernova level by the end of the year and by doing so I will get 42% rb next year.

So sick of this now,computer crashed AGIAN today,fkn ridic, am abs steaming.Anyone with any suggestions wtf I can do ?? It's not computer performance or I'd just go and buy a new computer  ;frustrated; ;frustrated;

i dont know what the problem is but windows 7>>>>>>>>>>>>> vista in terms of performance/not hanging etc etc

Yeah I've got 7

Not sure when my next proper session will be with this bs,hoping the guy from TN will help today waiting for a response on skype.

I'm currently waiting for the TN help guy to get back to me to try and sort this out.He lives in the US so is currently asleep,lazy git :) He says he will take a look when he gets up so hopefully I will get this sorted today but I'm not going to get a session in today I wouldn't think.I am playing a few mid stakes mtt's tonight with a prop vs some of the other fish on here which should be fun and will hopefully manage a binkkkkkk,glgl me.

I've just spent the last hour or so reading the first part of Phil Galfond's well on 2+2,really good posts by him but the one thing that stuck out for me most was this comment:"If you are near someone who plays poker and is smart, spend as much time around them as you can if you want to improve your game".This is something that I totally agree with and imo this is the best way to learn by talking hands through with good players.It seems the very top players all seem to say this and so to my point.I think it would be a really good thing to get going if there was a group of people on here who where interested that are playing at a decent enough level to maybe have weekly/biweekly discussions via skype/msn.I'm basically just thinking out loud here but my thinking is maybe 4/5 players who are playing at a decent level and want to try and improve.I'm not thinking about sngmtts that I'm currently playing as with them you can basically learn the strategy and beat the games, I'm thinking more cash/mtt's.Maybe everyone could do a 2/3 hour session playing 100nl or have a night playing mtt's then discuss hands either the same night if it was cash or the next night with mtt's.I was going to start a new topic but then thought just put it on here to see if there was any interest.

PS I'm not thinking of stopping playing sng's already,They are my bread and butter and I will definitely be playing them full-time for the foreseeable future once this crashing problem is sorted out :(,I'm just always looking to improve.

 ;indestructable;

totally agree with this, from my experience 10 minutes with middy on a hand is worth its weight in gold

id def be up for this

I wonder if middy will take pity on us and share some of his wisdom :) Would be incred !!!

Good stuff Guy,if there is a few interested will start up a thread to discuss it.

i guess at least if we end up discussing a spot that we cant get the best line/approach too he could be convinced to comment,

his stock caveat can often be run better thou!  ;)

lets get middleton in the well imo

+1

You not interested in the above Cos ?

Still not had any help with sorting this out from TN and I'm getting a bit peed off now,pretty much written this week off now but just hoping I have it sorted in time to get back grinding by Monday and have to put a heavy week in next week([  ] that will happen :) ) I sent a dead long message to the guy last night about how I need this sorted urgently and if he can't do it can he get somebody else I've also tried one of the other support people but had no response from him either,I sure have had a response from him.Pretty much been a shitty week alround where pokers concerned but it doesn't even feel like I've had a break since I've been sitting at my desk waiting for things to happen.

Any way rant over, enjoy your weekends all and I'll hopefully be back whinging how bad I run soon.

Considered playing on Full Tilt for a bit till you get TN sorted?

Bugger off again when you're done obv :)

Me and James have discussed me playing on tilt instead but he thought I maybe wasn't sufficiently rolled plus I really want to make supernova on stars,If this continues though maybe this could be my best option,the most tilting thing is I know it's not the computer I wish this computer was older so I could just buy a new one but it's only four months old,sigh fml etc etc
