The next step in my cooking education.

What am I cooking to tonight? For Tom, Ellie, Me, Melissa, Stato and PJ. And Mitch is having leftovers.

Gl me.

Is that Melissa the poker shark?

Do me a favour and ask her what she had when I folded tptk to her flop raise.

If she says anything other than 99 tell her she's a fibber.

Thanks.

Played an MTT session today for the first time in a few weeks. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

No sweats really, except a 50e turbo which I bust JJ<A9 for 1/2 chips in play 8 handed and the Monte Carlo Satellite came like 16th with 10 seats losing QQ to AA in a very cold spot for a seat locked. Very annoying.

As usual though there's a glimmer of hope, in a day two which I'm 23/100 with 24k euro ftw, but what are the chances anything meaningful comes from that eh?

Hate sounding down in the dumps, but online poker just does this to me, I really don't enjoy it and the variance is just sick sick sick. Got many close friends who I know to be really good players who have been in makeup forever, it's just so easy to lose and lose for months on end.

Not to be results-orientated by your win like, but... lol

Oioi!!

I'm definitely much happier now I'm playing live everyday except Sunday - so I'm going to stick to this, even though my hourly is probably better in theory playing online MTTs (obviously entirely guesswork, but intelligent guesswork I'd like to think).

Are you sure about this? I don't really know what I'mm talking about but my opinion of MTT players is they fall into 3 types,

#1 are the very best players who can beat all stakes "specialists" there is nothing they can be playing that's better for them than MTT's

#2 are the players who don't beat the highest stakes hard enough + prolly don't game select well enough

#3 guys who play low/mid-stakes and game select hard.

I think you're somewhere between 2 + 3, you aren't quite beating high stakes for enough to over-run the ridiculous variance that comes with it ($50-$100k downswings at these stakes pretty stnd) you game select well but I don't see how you can make as much money in those games online as you can in live cash games, given how good you are at that format (your strongest format imo, not even close)

I play sunday comps once in a while, I write the money off in my head and class it as a punt - like putting $2k on a bet at 4/1 someone tells me is 7/2 at worst. No  pressure on me ever and I can just go play live cash/watch a film when i bust everything and don't really care too much, one day there's every chance i'll ping something but doesn't really matter.

ALSO - I know you hate it- but grinding out 5k hands a week of cash games with a decent RB deal which takes no time at all and just pays those bills....

Cliffs;

Stick to live cash games as your B+B, you really are excellent at them and it suits your personality perfectly.

Online MTT's really do suck as a form of a living

Congrats on the score

[dwayne110]
