Mid moth update on how I am doing on the pokers this month.

Cash

Hands: 3390
Total Loss: $45.20
Total Allin EV: -$55
BB/100: -6.67
VP$IP: 30.4%
PFR: 18.55%

So not the best month in Cash. The fact I lost $80 in my first day playing has not helped. I have played some hands badly though so I can't really complain.

This is an example, a tight player 3-bets here and I am fairly sure he has a big pair. Don't mind my call preflop as I SHOULD be able to play better as I have the button as well after the flop. Once he fires the full pot he is never folding though so I am not supposed to shove here as I am about a 35% underdog. No real reason for this play just a bad play on my part.

This one on the other hand is probably a cooler. Does anybody think I can get away from this kind of hand?

This one may or may not be an error, I probably should reship preflop here. I pretty much know the shortstack has AA and know it's really unlikely the caller does so I should be reshoving my KK I think.

Tournaments (MTT's)

Have played a few more this month a total of 25 tournaments and I am up $35.94. Actualy it would be more than that as the Sunday Storm and Bigger $11 I played were played on tickets. I did qualify for the million one Sunday but got unlucky when I Got it allin pre for a 30K pot but lost to QQ. Was a long way from the money anyway. Also had a good run in the Storm.

I just fired up Poker Tracker and Stars looked at it and thought I really can't be bothered tonight what shall I do. I was about to toss a coin between going to the pub and meet some of the guys after work or go to Newport to the new Newport County club, when I had the idea of going to the casino. Hmm been a while since I felt like doing that but yeah OK, obv not going near Aspers so it will mean a drive to Cardiff for the Les Croupier deep stack. It will be full of live players so I will most likely win which is a bonus :-)

1st hand PLEASE fold flop. You have top pair with no redraws and a bare non-nut backdoor runner runner flush.

2nd hand is a cooler.

3rd hand we actually can't see - it uploaded wrong!

Oh, and I don't play Omaha, but 30/18 seems to be a bit fishy to me. You call too much!

Played live last night

Quite good though may well do it again some time before 2013 :-)

Playing a little schedule today as I am off work tomorrow. Work gave me 8 bottles of London Pride so might have one or two of those whilst I am playing (would be rude not to use them).

I am planning on playing:-

14:00 - Bigger $5.50
16:00 - Bigger $8.80
17:00 - NLHE $3.30
18:00 - NLHE $5.50
18:30 - $11 Sunday Storm (MicroMillions Edition)
19:00 - Bigger $11
19:30 - Micro Millions Main event $1M Gtd

Should be good, I thought a few people would be playing today with the micro main event being on. Anybody want a mirror prop? We can adjust the schedule for it.

Please pass on good luck to Darren Shallis from all the Rileys boy's

Well that was a waste of a post *lol* he ended up getting half the chips and losing. Poker was easy then though ;-).

Since then I have made 999 more post including this one which makes this my 1000th post. Some of the posts have been pointless, hopefully some have been useful to some people at least. I will make more because I like the forum. The strategy section is a great part of the forum and I hope I contribute to that part of the forum in a positive way. This diary is not too interesting when I am not playing much poker but people seem to read the thing for some reason. It's good for keep in touch with people who I like but don't get to see that often. I am actually looking forward to the next 6 months as there are 5 event's I am able to attend so will be able to catch up with a lot of people who I mainly have interacted with on here lately.

I read a lot of the diaries on here and it is good to see what is happening to the apaters in their real life situations. I say that because when you go to an apat it is often like real life goes on hold whilst we do the apat thing. The fact you don't see each other that often make it that much better. Currently looking forward to seeing everybody again at DTD. When are people getting there?

Glasgow also sounds like it could be great really want to go to that one.

I am currently taking a break from poker in order to be fresh for the ECOAP. I hope that lead to a good performance. I am playing the six max, the main and the Omaha, currently planning on getting up to Nottingham on Saturday, not sure if driving or catching the train. The other option is to get up there on the Friday which does have some appeal depending on who will be there at that point.

Looking forward also to (hopefully) playing the next 5 events over the rest of this year and making a final table. To do that I will need to perform really well and be 100%, the competition is as tough as ever.

Oh FFS, now I gotta come up on the Friday, I assume Matt, Phil, Brian etc etc are also there? What you doing the Friday night, they ain't for Poker? Will sort it with work tomorrow. Will need to book an extra night at hotel also.

[Fatcatstu]

I think Phil is, my brother is a no as he can't get time off work for the weekend Brian is looking at coming down but just for the main event I think get it done tho, I am up for whatever as long as I can have a beer

[amcgrath1uk]

Congrats on the 1000th post fella. Best of luck in Notts, as unfortunately I have no chance of getting time off for it. I'm a definite for Glasgow though

You know it makes sense ;-)      Unlike Bolton, there will be no major puddles to avoid ... avoiding Stuart though might be more of a problem

Have you seem the weather lately, reckon there might be puddles, everywhere. Stu will be no help in avoiding them and Ger is playing the team event. I suggest you come up on the Friday as well to ensure we don't wander into any zone that might have puddles. 

Jack and Dawn should also come (sure do remember the last time I was in Nottingham with them).

Shame Asa can't make it as well (can't work cope without you for just a few days?)
