Scottish Dave's Bankroll Experiment

[vegaslover]

I'm a simpleton when it comes to records, I write them in an A4 pad then review them later, away from the poker.
Strangely, my worst results are currently in the lowest buy-in STT i play in!!!

[Scottish Dave]

First point - whats with all the cows, i feel like im in Clatty Pats again!! (only Glasgow people will get this joke)

2nd - i actually use pokercharts as previously stated, i will have a little look at this new sheet tho, since everyone says its excellent.

3rd - regarding that article posted, yes its great advice and i took most of it in, i do use it, but also add a little of your own game in there too, you have too, or we would all be robots.

4th - i cant remember this point now, so ill just mention that i think Kev is NOT the big fish we all think he is, and i think he gets a bad wrap a lot of the time "www.Dave-loves-Kivvy.com!!"

5th - Tank - how you fairing over in Sin City, you showing profit, and good stories, or are you just enjoying the social side of poker?

6th - Steph, get back to sevillians, we miss you and i need to know whats happening on saturday, so i can orginise when to come over and orginise with Laz

ive just realised that if i type www . blah blah blah . com it actually posts as a link lol

all this time i used to high light the link and click that little globe button when trying to post a link

just think that must add about 5 seconds to typing a post, ie 5 seconds of my life wasted, ive posts almost 2,800 on this board, so if i say ive posted web links every 25 posts, that a whole 560 seconds of my life wasted!!!!

Oh FFS, worst run yet!

1/ 9th - Accident with KK
2/ 7th - played like a pr1ck
3/ 5th - no cards
4/ 4th - dont want to talk about!



(+£28) (-£7) (-£12) (-£12) (+£8) (+£18) (+£18) (-£22) (+£28) (+£3) (+£13) (-£22) = +£41 for the trip

[thetank]

Welcome to the blank batch.

They suck.

[Scottish Dave]

another 4 STT's with £0 return!

Thats 2 sessions in a row (8 £5 STT's in a row) with no money finishes:

(+£28) (-£7) (-£12) (-£12) (+£8) (+£18) (+£18) (-£22) (+£28) (+£3) (+£13) (-£22) (-£22) = +£19 for the trip

Looks like 19th september if off for the target! - this is so depressing

They happen mate.  Any ideas why? Is it just an unlucky patch or is it something you are doing?  Overconfidence perhaps?  I suffer from that, I have a good run then I think I can win any pot I enter - I don't enter more pots, just that I think I have the right to win every one I do go in. 

[Ginger]

I did the same 3 days ago Dave, 2 complete blanks (one batch I bubbled in all 4!) Sigh..     

I took a couple of days off from it, thought through what I was doing differently and realised that I had in fact started loosening up far too early (didn't realise at the time)

I also stopped doing 4 batches for the time being until it comes good again (though it can be really boring) and I've just finished a 3rd, 1st and a 2nd ( got to HU and the doorbell rang, and I had to deal with it, grrrr) stick with it, it'll come good again.

as Ginger said, im getting too loose, playing to many suited connectors (when it aint cheap to see a flop).

I was actually thinking about trying another site, as i love betfairs MTT's but i hate there STT, they turn into a crap shoot almost 90% of the time, an example was the other day we still had 5 players left out of the 10 that started (and with starting stacks of 1000 chips that ment the average was 2,000.......the blinds were 500/1,000!!! (this is mainly due to the fact the levels increase every 10 hands and not a set time.

This was why i mainly moved onto MTT's and left STT in the first place.

altho i dont know what site to go to???

plus i have £236 in betfair and would need to wait 4 days for it to be transfered back into my bank account, so i can then switch in into this new site - and i dont want to wait that long.

Man i wish i could get my NETeller account to work, ive tried 3 times now, but still cant sort it out.

Stars have great STT's, even better, they have 18/45/180 man sng's which generally aren't much harder than the single table games, especially the $6 18 man turbos.  Even even better, the 18 man games don't seem to take any longer than the 9 man games

[Sark79]

Stars is excellent, but then again I love Betfair.  It is really hard to choose between them, sort of like trying to decide which kid you like the best, it is impossible to do.  I think the STT are far easier on Stars than on Betfair, I hold the unofficial world record for 4th place finishes in 18 STT.   I wish it was for 2nd places or better still 1st places, it is frustrating finishing no higher than 4th all the time.  Maybe Graham is right Dave, you might like these better.

[Graham C]

I've been playing the $6 turbo 18 man ones and they are pretty good.  Hoping the $15 ones are just as good to me, but the trouble at this higher level is that I only have a run of about 7 or so before I move back down if I don't cash in them.  Can't see me going 7 without one though
