So with the downswing I'm in and after last night , Ive been doing a lot of thinking and this ties in to setting some goals for this month. Next couple of months for me are going to be busy work wise and will probably only get limited amounts of time available to play poker.Then at the end of september /early october second child is due , so I might get a restricted amount or if on the night shift may get more time to play. |

Hadn't read this until today, missed it somehow. Good luck with everything man. I'm definitely up for some more sweat sessions when you have the time. |

well I think I can say that I'm officially pissed off . Down 96$ for the month and can't seem to hit a hand> If I do its a really scary board so that I'm not sure if I'm ahead or villain wont put any decent amount of money in.Roll is now at 402$. Stats wise i'm playing 28/18 overall and my fold to 3bet this month is now up to 67%. |

First, don't play until you're cooled off man. Playing pissed off (on tilt) will only fook your BR up. |

You saw what happened the last time we sweated , got the money in thinking we were well ahead of the fish and they turn over the only hand that beats me time after time. Most of my big losses are with premium hands . Maybe its cos I can fold the junk and get coolered with my premiums / can't fold them. |

1 is fine, 2 you need to raise turn, 3 you need to bet/3bet flop, 4 i like to see a call given sick odds, and his bet looks like a lower 2p. 5, bet a bit more on the flop and fold is fine. sometimes i check flop too, but not often | |

Keep in mind that stats don't translate to wins and losses. Avoid trying to "fix" stats that you think are bad. Instead, focus on the play that is best and let the stats fall wherever they may. I think the concept of analyzing stats and trying to hit a target of some kind is highly overrated - especially at smaller stakes. Game dynamics and good decision making will dictate what your stats are. | |

I think wonderland hit a couple of your major leaks smack in the face. Tighten up, table select better. QFT. |

Here is an example of what happens when you play two tables. I had been watching this guy (which probably wouldn't have happened if i were 4 or maybe even 3 tabling). | |

so you've probably been wondering what I've been doing. Well sorta sitting back and watching vids and a bit of a 2NL FR mini op. Found a free vid site and been watching some full ring tutorial.had 4£ on VC poker so fired four tables up and been playing that . got it up to £10 in about 700 hands. then blew of $5.22 tonight with two cracked full houses accounting for most of it on a table I played 14/12 on. Hand converter doesnt seem to want to work with output from HEM so ........ |

About to fall off the bottom of the page so time for a quick update. still busy with work but managing to get a few hands in . withdrew 100$ from William hill and took advantage of the reload bonus at stars. that bumped the roll up to 500$ but I'm discounting the extra 100. played some 10NL 6 max night before last and managed to blow 15$ KK twice lost a stack and won one back with AA. |

Turn bet needs to be bigger say $2.60-3.00. No need to worry about them folding AX here anyway. Look at how they played flop more than likely they are coming along. That bet gave them almost 4:1 to chase the flush. River, again bet sizing needs to be quite a bit more. $5-6 atleast. | |

good hand for those people who don't understand why position is important - think about the lines you can take here on the button vs in the BB. If anyone asks about position when you're in IRC, link them to this hand. |

I dunno I prolly just c/r a bit larger and shove turn, since no Ace is folding and no FD is folding. | |

I have to admit .. I got greedy ...... bet the turn at a price that I thought would get them both to call. once they called then it would be easy shove and get them all in .....but hit the flush card . |

Time for an update i guess. Still busy as hell at work , and been playing take 2 all month mainly just to clear the bonus , but also in a way to start over . First time round I was rolled for 5NL so more or less started playing at 5NL with very little 2NL experience. I cleared 2NL nicely but floundered somewhat at 5NL . I also advised my wife on her FTP account trying to teach her how to play cash games. we started with her 15$ of freeroll winnings and by the end of the month it was up to about 57$ and 50$ bonus to add. I must admit to a great deal of satisfaction in telling her how to take such a small starting roll to effectively clearing 2NL in a month. Even more so as for a lot of the month we were only playing sufficient hands to get the necessary 1 point to qualify for the bonus.will probably post the graphs tomorrow when i get a bit more time. |

so had another suckout last night for a stack and this is the effect on the graph for the month. Be nice to get some suckouts in my favour to balance things up a bit. 1500 hands yesterday and apart from the suckouts was starting to feel confident at 10NL FR. |

OPeration: gold star + clear 25nl :10nl clearedbeen awhile . Turned my game around since that freeroll final table.tried a shot at 25nl at 600 and had some bad beats and dropped back down to 10nl. What i learnt at 25nl inthat shot though improved me as a 10nl player and moved back up at $750. Been a roller coaster taking some major bad beats but havent had to drop down. I did consider it after a -$112 day that were mainly due to bad luck and bad beats.Was back to break even then stars introduced the new tables and play changed form that which i was adapted to. |
