Want to throw $11 away?

[suzanne]

If you send the money back yer gonna get a slap next time I see yer! 

Its almost worth sending the money back just for the slap ;-)

Thanks for all the support guys, I will have a rethink over the weekend and I am taking all your comments on board.

My initial thinking is that I will match the $110 (I REALLY dont want any more staking) and start again with 50% of winnings (hopefully) going back to stakers.

I have had a good look on stars and the game I think will suit me best (after taking note what sharplea said) is the $8.80 (deep - 90 players).

Knowing that I am playing to win back stakers deposits will give me the initiative to play my best without the pressure I am feeling at the moment of having lost it all.

I would love Stu, Cos, Mond or anyone else to go through the hand history of one of my games so if you are willing please pm me ur email.

I am feeling a bit better about the whole situation now. I will work out tomorrow how many games I can play and will make a point of posting more crucial hands and asking advice.

I luv you guys x

Suz, the 90 manners have virtually no traffic. One every 3-4 hours I believe, and they obv take that long to fill up. Just had a quick look now, and there hasn't been one gone off since about 11am this morning, by my estimation.

No point playing that 1 then. I will have another look.

I have had a look and I am a bit stumped on what to do now. I prefer deepstack but there doent seem to be much traffic. Turbo games seem to be the most popular but dont really suit me. So that only leaves normal stts.

I cant win on a 9 table atm so playing a bigger game 45/90/180 seems like a bad idea.

Sorry for mucking you guys about and being so indecitive but thats kinda where my heads is at the moment and why I posted this thread in the first place.

OK I have made a decision which I am going to stick by.

My primary objective now is to try and win back stake money so I thought ...where/what/when have I had my most success and the answer is the $20 deepstack at 7.30 on Boss.

So I have decided that I will do as I said before and match the stake putting $110 in plus the $33 not spent and play this game. I have funds to play 6 games (which I will do on DTD of course) and enough left over to play 1 last stt :-)

I have the Apat league and other games planned for tonight and early next week so I am going to wait till May to take on this new challenge. An added bonus will be that I can also play the donkament league (if rules are the same) and maybe win some live cash!!

I am thinking positive and hoping I can turn this disaster around :-)

Seriously will you please stop thinking of this as a disaster.

You've lost 7 sit 'n' goes. That is standard not a disaster.

It would've been far more of a shock if you'd cashed in them all as that is much less likely than 7 blanks.

Good luck in the DTD comps. Only problem you'll have with these is hand histories if you want anybody to look over them.

The variance in these will be tough to beat with only 6 games. Even if you have an edge it is likely that you will not cash. Again this will not be a disaster it will be perfectly standard and expected.

I'll be following this with interest. Hope it all goes well.

Ok I will not quote the D word again. Its been a long time since I played stts but i used to cash in 1/3 at least which is why I wanted to try them again. I guess the standard and added software (which I have no idea how to use) makes them much harder to win these days.

Good point about the hand histories...how do I get them on Boss?

Like you said Matt variance will probably kill me with only 6 games to play. I have found the standard in this game to be pretty poor (apart from Jack ;-) but I am thinking I would rather play 6 of these than donk off the remaining $33 in 3 games that i have no confidence of winning.

I am thinking positive and ty for ur good luck wishes...I will need them x

The €2 sng's on DTD are very very soft!! Even I'm a winning player on there and I'm Tez at the pokerz!!

[GreekStein]

I didn't realise you'd sent me the hh til today! Some good points to take from it.

Will send you a full reply tonight by each hand.

Thx Cos, Stu has also been kind enough to send his thoughts but ive been too busy trying to sort out my boys PC to get round to reading it properly.

I am totally peeded off trying to fix it so will take a break tomorrow and play the first of the 6 deepstacks. No idea still how to find hand histories but i will have paper and pen at the ready ;-)

First attempt...63/161

Just didnt get any hands. Had AA early on which didnt get much return. Had to fold JJ to a raise and reraise, ended up sticking it allin with AK v KK when shortstacked.

Might give it another go tomorrow.

[suzanne]

Tried again tonight and went out quite early. Fell in love with my KK v AA v 88 and of course the binked....sigh.

[suzanne]

Sorry to stakers for no recent updates. I am still trying to fix my sons PC which is driving me nuts and havent been in a positive state of mind/kids playing up around 7.30 so have gave it a miss.

I am thinking about playing the $80 sat tomorrow night into the Corals Poker Master for Bristol this weekend. I have played a couple of the $10 sats and bombed so forking out $80 seems a bit mad. Then again as a friend once said "every blind squirrel finds the nuts now and again".  

Should I chance it? I might....lets see what frame of mind I am in.

I will deffo be playing the deepstack on Wednesday even if I have to lock the kids into the cupboard under the stairs.

EDIT...Decided to give the Coral sat a miss and I am playing the DTD Deepstack.

3rd game 77/204

Do you call here?

Blinds are 400/200 + antes, I am in bb and have about 10k chips just below average, there is a raise to 1000 mid position, (he has about the same amount of chips as me), sb makes the call (very active and has a big stack) as do I with QJo. Flop is Q J 10 rainbow. Small blind checks, I bet 3/4 pot, other guy reraises and sb puts us both allin. is this an immediate fold? I have to guess I am miles behind, do you gamble on hitting a Q or J?

[mondatoo]

I sigh fold,I certainly don't call to hit a Q or J,I'd call if I think I have the best hand.
