<3 JB. Especially this bit!

I then proceeded to play really solid and bleed so little, I tried to 'win' a few hands that weren't rightly mine by check raising or donking in spots where I expected folds - I got them and I managed to make a few nice calls!

Would love to... The lads seem like a great bunch.

A few problems...

[ ] Roll could stand a Vegas trip
[X] Keys currently thinks I'm a grimm-ing ****                                    (insert your favorite appropriate word)
[ ] Sure got an invite to go to Vegas with ANYONE this year..              (even the 'northampton lot' - got very drunk and offended some at a house party last year... cest la vie)
[X] Grinding my little ass off and getting to 100nl is MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY OTHER POKER GOAL
[X] Said I'm going to win a £300+ tourny this year and [ ] won one yet...



Other than that... yer I'm on the plane. Cheesy

No problems mate, s'always next year.  Will be paying more attention to satelliting in as well.

Want to play
[ ] An EPT
[ ] An IPT
[ ] Many UKIPT's
[ ] WSOP ME
[ ] WSOPE event

and why not throw in a
[ ] WPT

Although I'm going to need some serious advice from Alan T if I'm going to get my 'Hedge' up to scratch.

This is the big loss hand...

I didn't love the river bet at the time, I'd been battling this guy on two tables, thought i'd test him.

Yeah that river bet is really bad. If he folds you have the best hand ppl don't like to fold heads up

yer i didn't love it... but I thought it was 'such' a bad river bluffing card that it would be really tough/ impossible for a 'semi-decent' player to be calling in that spot bvb.

I overbet it because i think that 50-110%pot gets called like 80% time.. but once i go above 120%... the bet gets called so rarely by a Q9/QJ/QK range that I think it will profitable.. and obv he should have a chunk of hh hands.

is 4x bvb standard? <-- honest question btw not trolling or anything.

worst runout to be barelling ever Cheesy don't think i like it Sad

its standard for me, I saw it in a video and i find that it means I get a massive amount of folds.. and then when I play a pot I can normally adjust to opponent tendancies that I 'think' I'm making it profitable- not 100% but its gotta be close at minimum.  Obv as i move up this will have to be fine tuned.


Like I said above, I hated this particular river card, there are SOOO many that are good for me... shame it wasn't one of those imo.

Meh - still won 4 bi's = can't be playing that bad! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

No I'm happy.

Ak hand is really bad just understanding boards to barrel is so important and I'm sure you will continue to grow and improve your fundamentals.

You have the desire and intelligence to beat 200 and beyond. Stick with it and will
All be worthwhile.

Don't chase Vegas or epts just try to Adam Reynolds for ow

I said and knew it at the time... I appreciate it mate - really do!

Its why im so pumped to get hold of you, you slippery little jordie!  I 'knew' it was a bad runout, Callum and I have been discussing good ones, in all honesty I knew it was a bad runout and knew i probably shouldn't both but felt like such a hero being 3bi's or whatever up at the time I 'went' for it... as he will have heart draws some % and won't hero me with tp all the time...
Really am working on it, and really think I'll need your help to crack 50nl and 100nl this year... got my grinding boots on - help pls.
