Started playing about 10:30 tonight, cash plus the 10:40 £5 BH, 11:30 £10 and 12:30 £10 BH.

Nothing in the 1st two, got a decent run in the 12:30 BH, eventually getting knocked out in 7th Place. Everything was pretty standard.

Delighted to be getting a bit of momentum going, just need to book some wins now!

------------------------------------------------------

Had an interesting hand the other day on cash:

WE have pocket Aces 3 bet pot. Flop QQ5. We bet call. Turn Q, we bet, massive raise comes in (we are 200plus bb deep)

I've played tens of 1000s of hands against the opponent, my decision seemed very easy:)

Poker

I was thinking for a while about putting some money on stars to play about with the 45/90/180 Sit and Go's, for a bit of practice with MTT's. Not to put in any great amount of volume on there, just to have sessions now and again, and also at some point in the next couple of months, to play some larger runner tourneys, like $11 ones.  

Today I played about 8 or so games on there, I got pretty lucky and managed to come 3rd in a 180 game. It was a turbo, as were all the games I played, pretty sure they must have normal paced games, will defo be playing them the next time.

Know your strengths and weaknesses


I used to mess about with HU Sit and Go's - they are great fun, I love playing them and the HU dynamic. There is a player on here when he started playing HU sit and gos a lot he used to play me/ watch me play,  to see what I was doing. It was his perception my game was really aggro. Today he plays on stars and is a regular at the $15 games (I think). He has a fantastic understanding of the maths, and jam folding ranges and all the intricacies of HU Sit and Gos.. Basically, his knowledge of HU Sit and Go's would put my knowledge to shame! If I now played him HU he would have an edge most likely.

That was just an example of HU, the exact same applies to MTT's.

For MTT's i'll need to spend some time looking at shove / fold charts, ranges, ICM,  that kind of stuff, which will really help my MTT game. I just need to become a bit more solid, in standard situations.

Basically, there's a lot a stuff I need to do with regard to tournies.

Thanks Alex.

January

Been a bit of a crazy month! By the 13th/14th Jan I was in a (small) hole, hadn't played much and when I was playing it was MTT's. Tbh, I was seriously concerned if  I would actually make a profit for the month.

The last 10 days have been fantastic (cash). I've been playing a lot more cash and it's been going really well. Profit for the month to date is less than my monthly  avg, but my volume has been less and I've spent quite  a lot of time on MTT's. Overall, i'm really pleased with the month.

I defo think my MTT game is better than it was at the end of Dec, and am just looking to keep improving/ build up my knowledge.

December for MTT's, will be about breakeven.** Have ran pretty bad for the most part in them.

I've also been playing some 180/90/45/18 man Sit and Go's on Stars just for a bit of practice, reckon these will defo help improve my mtt game.

Looking forward to February, it's all going in the right direction, and am planning to get some more live cash in too.

**I'm not a member on sharkscope, if anyone is a member would it be at all possible for you to scope me and post up a graph for my MTT results for JAn1- Present. 

Thanks:)

Thanks ironside much appreciated.

90 games is such a small sample as not to be relevant going 90 MTTs without decent cash or a FT isnt much to worry about

some of the big grinders and winners would of gone alot longer without a cash

[shipitgood]

It is a pretty small sample size, but gonna smash it in Febuary.

Had a couple of results tonight:

26 Jan '15 at 18:44 Poker UKPC Freeroll £48.00 £0.00 Poker AIR client Hand History  
26 Jan '15 at 18:44 Poker UKPC Freeroll £0.00 £0.00 Poker AIR client Hand History  
26 Jan '15 at 18:43 Poker £1,200 B/Hunter £31.60

Took the cash from UKPC freeroll for £48 and 10th in the 6:45 BH out of 300 + runners, was a bit frustrating was 1/24 at one point. 200 plus FTW plus bounties.

Will be back in profit for the month at MTTs after 2 night, but UKPC cash prob won't show on scope cause it was a locked event.

There's another priority freeroll tomorrow night, 2 seats for the UKPC/ Team Sky Poker. Should only be about 30/50 runners, so a wee bink would be sweet!

Yoyo January

That best describes January for MTT's!

Since I last posted, I've not had a winning day with tourneys. Today I was 1/12 in a 300 plus runner tournie and managed to finish 11 lol was 1/8 in another and finished 7th.

In Febuary i'm going to mostly play £11 plus games, and will also start playing more sats for the £33 and £55 games.

After January I would say my roi for tourneys ever will still be above 30%. So can't complain.

Goal for February is to play 100 £11 MTT's.

For a bit of fun/ to keep me focussed/ if anyone wants a sweat in February, i'm happy to sell up to 30% for these 100 games at spot, somebody already has 10%.

It's for £11 games only starting on Feb 1st.

5% = £55
10%=£110.

It's just a bit of fun, so if anybody want's 10% of 10 games, or 50 etc that's no problem too.

Eg 10% of 10 games = £11.

I'm going to do a sweat thread tonight in here.

Hopefully it should be interesting and I can get some deep runs going.

Will be starting about 7.

  

[shipitgood]

This afternoon went up to the gym and then for a swim, had some scran. Ready to go!

Going to play 5-7 games, will update this thread as the night unfolds, hopefully get a few deep runs going and do a win.

Confidence at start of session, 9.5
