Scottish Dave's Bankroll Experiment

[Scottish Dave]

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.

do you honestly like Betfairs STT's i think there are such a crap shoot

[Scottish Dave]

may as well add some more losses to the list, i decided to play a few sats etc today

so i played the EPT sat - EUR10 = £6.30
MTT - £2.25
STT - £5.50
and sat for the 10K tonight - £3

thats £17 loss from them!

Maybe I haven't played enough of them not to like them yet.  I have only played in about seven of them.  I love the site overall though and the low limit ring games are brilliant

I thought I would have a go on the 6 seaters today, lucky or what?!?

Party Poker £6, played 2, won 1 5th iin the other - $6 profit

BPL - $3.3 - played 4, won 4 - $33.60 profit

BPL $5.5 played one, came second - $5 profit

BPL $5.50 extended - came 6th, $5.5 loss (9 seater)


Lesson learnt - keep away from $5 exs, and that nasty Claw

She is nasty isn't she. Soon it is going to be like Erik123 for her, people will not want to sit at the same table as her and lose their cash   .  She will be forced to come up with a new screen name

thats nice going mate, you obviously have the patience for it, i really truely dont TBH, im doubtful if its going to work out for me, it was good when i was winning but its so easy to lose all your profit in 2 sessions.

10 sessions to build up £50 profit and 2 session to lose it....that doesnt sound right to me, if im playing the same level through-out???

[ifm]

my last 3 sessions of stt's:-

i play a mix of buyins because you can only start 1 at a time.
session 1...........$0.50 profit
session 2...........$8.00 loss
session 3...........$136  profit

Each session is around an hour, so a good return lol

Mother F***er!

i decided to play in the £2/£5 cash game with my last £200, i said when i hit £400 id quit.

i make it to £412 and keep playing!!!!

make it to £578 and am about to leave when i get As spades flop comes - Nut flush with Royal flush Draw, get it all in with a guy on £260 stack, he has 10 J and a J on river fills him up, im back down to £300, i then hit the second nuts and the guys pushes all in for £500 into a £90 pot, i call and he has the nuts!

im down to Zero and £0 bank roll!!!!

Why the hell didnt i stop at £578? - i know why, cos when i get that close to a round 'Hundredy' Number, i always say ill just keep going till i hit £600!

I fucking hate poker

[Scottish Dave]

Ahhh fuck it, ill deposit another £200 and build it back then take it our again, leaving the winning £200 in the account

[Scottish Dave]

Up to £290

haha I doubt it!  I played 3 STTs last night.  6 handed - 6th, 9 handed - 9th (out first hand), 9 handed - 4th.  I also busted out early in a $5 MTT and didn't even qualify for the Sunday freeroll in the 100ap game!!!!

Dave, if you can earn that sort of money playing cash games, why bother trying to build your BR using STT?
