I wasn't going to post this hand, i don't really like it at all.
I guess most people will dislike the check on the flop, the reason i did it was to let the villian barrel turn and river.
Any feedback appreciated. Hating the river! It looked like a good a fold at the time, but he could easily have been bluffing here, the pot size bet does look a bit bluffy. And the way i've played it, it's a great card to bluff at.
I have £74, villian has £47.
In SB I have
, i raise to 40p, he 3 bets 2 £1, i make it £4, i made it quite big cause he wasn't folding pre, he calls pot is £8.80
Flop;
, check, check, Turn
, villian bets 3/4 pot £6.60 i call.
River;
, villian bets pot £22, i fold.

Had the hand shown on Sky last night.
The villian had AQ, so it turns out it was the right fold. So easy for him to have a queen here.
On a brick river i was going 2 raise, don't see him having many jacks here, that's not to say he can't have a Jack.
If he bets big on river (if blank) i prob just call, if he bets small i would raise, dunno what the best line would be on the river with a blank card.

Hardly played at all this week sinse last Sunday.

Then i played a bit of cash, and was playing really bad but managed to end about 2 bi's up, i'll take it!
People think i play any two, this is probably why:) I'm on the button, it is a nice excuse!

Bit of a joke tonight on Sky, was playing a MTT which was cancelled due to technical difficulties.
Same thing happened last night as well, for a period of time. Not played any bigger buy in MTT in over a week so was looking forward to playing a few tonight.
It resulted in a chip count, plus any bounties you won including your own bounty. I'm going to include this game, but yeah a bit frustrating.
These things happen, but 2 nights in a row is pretty poor imo.
Total games 14*, Total Spend £198, winnings £221, Profit +23
*12 £11 MTTs, 2 £33 games.
2 2 go!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight, lasted 15 mins in the main, made a terrible all in call with top 2 on a K10 9 board, he could only have the nuts! It was so obvious.
Played the 11:30 BH tonight and finished for £30 including bounties.
That's me finished my 20 games. Total games 16*, Total Spend £220, winnings £251, Profit +31
It started off pretty bad the first few games, despite FT the 2nd game. Definatly picked up in the last half of the games. It was the 1st time i had really made an effort to play £10 MTT's.
I know it's only 20 games and not a large sample size, but i would definatly say i am far better now at playing BH'ers now compared to when i started. I've picked up on a lot of mistakes i was making and have managed to cut a lot of them out, a big one would be you can't bluff most people in these games! Just a matter of getting the hands, and going for value value value.
I'm happy to have finished in profit and how i've played, certainly in the last half of the games. I've not played much the last couple of weeks, hardly played any cash at all this week apart from the weekend.
For the next few weeks, think i'll just concentrate on MTT's.

Not played much since the last time i posted.
I took down a small buy in tournie, got to the FT with 250k, 500k in play. 3 Handed i had increased my stack to 330k, 3 handed went on for ages it was against 2 tight players so they wern't 2 keen on getting their chips in the middle! Eventually took it down.
Thursday night I qualified for the main event through a sat for £7, plus £3 in another sat i didn't get anywhere in. So was in for £10 total. Unfortunatly i did he haw, the cards wern't showing much love. My exit hand was q8, on a 88xx board, all in on turn, villian had 85, 5 on the river, gg!
6 months ago i used to say to everyone i hated sats, things change, really like them now! Was due to the fact i couldn't play them.
Had my 1st proper cash session last night for the first time all week. It went really well i ran golden for a change and ended up 6 bi's up in just over 4 hours.
March has been a really good month profit wise, despite not putting that much volume in. My points (rakeback) is the lowest it's ever been in the last 6 months but still have managed to make as much if not more than last month.
Celtic championiiiiesss!
Just off to the game now to see Celtic pick up the league trophy:)
10 in a row...

Saturday was pretty bad.
Lost 5 buy ins at cash. Done the usual, down 2 bi's in 20 mins, got a bit worse, before it picked up abit, i was quitting all tables just over 2 buy ins down, ended up on a table with a drunk guy jamming every flop. Got it in with KQ, on a KJx board versus him and another shortstack (after he jammed my flop bet). They both had raggy Jacks, i'm well ahead. Case jack on the turn for a big pot. Reloaded same thing happened got it in good and he sucked out again. He then left the table!
Today i only really played a few sit and go's and MTT's. MTT's were a total disater.
I didn't have the hands, ran pretty bad, done abosultely nothing in any of them. Best run was busting 5 before the bubble.
It was a really frustrating night. Like with yesterday i lost a few buyin's at cash, which is just normal, i'll easily win it back the next time i play, or next few times. But MTT's are way more tilting. Not like you can just reload. Not felt like this in a while with poker, but was just one of those nights.
Just a bit annoyed just now tbh, but it's just variance.
Having a break tomorrow, will be back on tuesday, and hopefully running a lot better.
Promise no more moans for a while:D

This hand was annoying, thoughts on this anyone? I'm pretty sure he has a set, jamming into 2 players, he's just called down to get max value from player behind, that's what it looks like anyway! Maybe it is a bad fold, maybe he had a busto flush draw

Been a while since I've updated this!
Tried another couple of sites at the start of the month, can't seem to get used to other sites, have to say that I find Sky the best site to play on.
Probably just because it's where I started playing and am used to the games/ know most players on there.
So no more site jumping from me for a while!
It's been a really good week, i'm up about £500 so far this week. Had a deep run in the main tonight, unfortunately lost 10,10 >KQ to go out in 16th place. I won a Sat for the main on Sat as well and just took the cash. Won a couple of bi's at cash too.
I''ll take more of that!
Going to play some of the UKOPs games next week as well.
This is the schedule (below). I'm going to swap 10 % with my mate, and prob sell or swap another 20% as well. Not quite sure what games i'm playing yet, but prob most of them barring the £110 games, unless I sat in.

Friday 18th April Micro £1,000 Rebuy £2.20 19:00:00 5 2000

I have enough bi's for 50nl now - 50 buy ins.
How do you view bankroll management? 50 buy in's enough? Or do you play with more/ less?
Fwiw, I think over the next while i'll try and introduce a couple of 50nl tables as well as lower buy in games, just to see how it goes.

I don't play poker for a living, I never will, it will only ever be a sideline.
Meant to say that in the above post.

Tonight was a bit frustrating never really got anything going, I was playing pretty well but the card's weren't the best
I was in a hole from the get go, then had a wee rally then I decided to get queens in against a 5 bet jam (300bb pot), of course it was aces! That set me back abit, things picked up again.
Finished the day down about 0.5 a buy in, which isn't bad considering the hole I was in, but it seems like the first Friday in a while where I've not had a really good winning night.
I didn't play any 50nl tonight, but I did ply some 30nl and 40nl, the tables were pretty nitty and there wasn't much action.
As with my above post, would be really interested to hear others views on BRM, and what they think is reasonable to play at a certain level.
I'm back to the whole, "the next level must be so difficult" and "it will all be amazing players" routine.
Don't know why, just seems to happen. Maybe because it's something knew and outside my comfort zone.

I've had this "diary" running for a while now, from the first post and warm welcome from Frankie boy.
Had a couple of diaries on sky for a long while before this one, but felt it would be better to post somewhere of the Sky site.
Have to say I think blonde poker is awesome, really good community on here and some great players.
The 1st diary on sky the longest time ago was when I played 4nl, and didn't have much by way of a bankroll. When the first diary was started it was with the view to improve at poker, some days I won and some days I lost, but was really inconsistent, and knew that people constantly won so I must be doing something wrong. Going back to that 1st diary on Sky, it defo helped my game improve a lot to beat 4nl. The second incarnation of the diary started along the lines of "100 MTTs to make a profit", this was about last May /June. At that time I was minus 400 on sharkscope for MTT's and sit and go's. Those 100 games went really well, during that time my MTT game improved no end and had some excellent feedback froma whole variety of players on sky. After those 100 games I continued using the post as a diary, then about Octob, Nov last year, I wanted to put my views down on here.
From last May /June it has been a massive journey. In that time I have turned my sharkscope into a profit, withdrawn a decent amount of money from my account, moved from playing 4nl to 20nl, and am now on the verge of playing 50nl, which I am now bankrolled for.
I know a lot of people don't read these, diaries, but have to say it's always been really motivational, spurred me on and kept me on track along the way.
Have really enjoyed writing in here, but i'm going to rest this diary for the time being and may return to it at some point in the future.
Thanks for reading, good luck at the tables, and look forward to meeting some of the DTD regs when I get down to DTD at some point.
