well drew a blank tonight and as i won't be playing tomorrow the first month draws to a close with a profit just short of $600 - will arrange everyone's transfers probably sunday some time

[celtic]

Well done Matt, good start.

[matt674]

ok, back early enough on Saturday night so decided to sort out people's payments - have transfered all but one of the profit payments to stakees. If you have not rec'd by this time tomorrow please let me know

Anthonyl - when trying to transfer money to you got message "account not allowed to receive real money transfers" when attempting transfer to talent84. Let me know if you can get sorted with pokerstars support to allow transfer.

[matt674]

good start to the new month

well i think today just about has to go down as the worst day in my time on stars - anything that could possibly go wrong has and this just about sums it up. Going to finish playing tourneys currently in and no more.

They also have 24 hours to come up with a reason why they've taken money out of my bank account without my consent

not sure what changed from October to November

The swings in these things are pretty brutal dude, you've only played 38 games this month, easy to get only 1 decent cash over that many games . Chin up!

[thetank]

I think the problem could be you're not posting enough super standard beats.

[DaveShoelace]

So you had a pair of sevens and he had ace-king and he won?? OMG.

Can someone work out the maths on that one please?

Just joking mate, seriously though, you don't need to post these really standard hands. None of us think you are spewing your chips away, we are not worried if you go on a bad run and we dont need to see the hands that played themselves. Much better if you can post some of the hands where you couldnt make a decison right away, the hands where you said to yourself 'christ what did he have?' or 'I wonder if I could get him to fold' etc

[Graham C]

I'm quite often shocked by the amout of people that keep calling to the river with AK having missed.  I don't understand why they don't just ship it all in preflop, on the flop or on the turn.  It annoys the hell out of me, not because i lose in a pair to AK shocker, but of the terrible way they play it, they don't deserve to bink imo.

Agreed that you don't need to post the beats though.

[matt674]

or 'I wonder if I could get him to fold' etc

trust me - the day i get someone to lay down a hand in these 180 sngs you'll all be the first to know!!

[matt674]

ok - one from the final tournament of the night..... still no joy in 6 180 sngs so decided to try luck in a $5 2r 1a - so basically a $20 freeze with 10k chips

2700 runners, 750 left - 400 paid average stack 25000

Only been at table about 10 minutes but having moved from table with no chips (i left old table with 16k in chips and was chip leader to this table) i soon went from short stack to decent stack as play was very loose

Do you call off your entire stack with an overpair on a draw heavy board or pass and still have slightly above average chips which is approx 50xbb's

[gatso]

snap call. you've put a lot of effort into confusing him with your bet sizing and he's come along for the ride. when you check the river your line must really confuse him so he's probs going to try and tid with any small part of that board or a missed draw thinking you've bottled the final barrel
