Moderating my way to Success

Hey there, looking forward to an update! Cant believe i only just noticed your blog, keep it up

Hey all!

As Richard says, I started work again recently, and finding it difficult getting into some sort of sleep pattern, so haven't been around much

I dropped 6 BI's at NL10, had some serious bad luck, rivers, rivers and more rivers.

I also took a few shots at NL16 as my Bankroll allowed, that has gone awful, I'm down to only $150 Profits on Cash now, not happy whatsoever.

Here is my Overall:

Lost nearlly $100 at NL16, some bad play is of fault, but I've had my fair share of Varience lately, Flush Draws completing, Calling Stations hitting the Rivers & My Big Pockets dominated by Bigger Pockets.

My Motivation is quite low at the moment, I'm just not feeling it any more.

My NL16 Graph, Oh dear...

Bankroll: $717 / 2700 FPP's
888 is now back to $250 also, Getting Deep, but losing flips at many of the bubbles, just isnt going my way >.<

I'm going to take a break, watch some videos, study and come back stronger than ever! I'm not playing my A-Game anymore, I need to find it again.

Really said story to hear. But dont give up and stick to your plan. I m also kinda frustrated overall with this month. Played a lot but didnt manage to achieve something noteworthy for the entire month. It will turn around soon for you, believe me just work on yourself. Wish you all the best

Thanks Sikac Looking back, I lost a few stacks through Tilt/Frustration which I haven't done for a long time now, the constant Suckout/Badbeats must have finally got under my skin, so a break was/is definitely needed!

I decided to play some MTT's yesterday, just a few small ones, nothing that will harm my bankroll too much, I joined 4 at an average buyin of $4ish. I busted in 3 of them and cashed in one.

I finished 6/2100 in a $3.30 for $240, not too bad, still very disappointed with myself. I know, 6th is great, but as I've posted before, I aim for #1! The jumps started to get huge ($1050 for 1st) I also wasn't happy with how I went out, should have continued to play my tight game instead of becoming the bully

I'm still going to avoid Cash for at least another day whilst I sort myself out, mean while I'll continue to play a few SNG/MTT's to keep me going, who knows, maybe I'll ship one

I also have a few days of work coming up next week, so I'll try to grind a few Micro mtts whilst I have the time (I work shift hours so its difficult to play many) I have an a nice track record on mtts when I take them serious, its just a shame I can't grind them as much as I'd like too

I will posibly be going to the Casino Tuesday night also for their standard £25 Freezeout (Around 35 Runners) where I also do well, I'm also going to ask if they hold record of my results so that I can try for some Live Staking sometime! hopefully they have some sort of record ♦

Bankroll back up to $920

This are good news. Told you are doing great in MTTs.Sad that you dont have time for them and that you dont multitable them more. You should reconsider. GL at the Casino ♦ Ship it!!! ♠_cool:

Hehe, yeah, should defo find the time to play more!

I joined 3 more today
$2R (Cost me $4 Total) Busted 35/250 (Top 20 paid)
$3.30 busted Middle Phase
$4 ($1 Bounty) Finished 2nd for $105 + $9 worth of Bounty = $110 Profits

888 Bankroll is back up to $350 ♦

Got to leave for work in around 3 hours, no time for more

Time for another update I guess (May have alot of Typos or not make sense - Too tired to proof read!)

I've been playing a few more MTTs @ 888 but sadly haven't had any success, I went out of BRM a little too and paid for a few larger events, such as a $11 My Bankroll there now stands at $295, I did also play alot of the Push/Fold tables for a a few hours, Up/Down Variance on them is out of this world, I ended up quitting when I was Break even.

I went to the Casino the other night also for the usual £25 Tourney, we got 41 Runners, I didn't do great but I managed to hold out with an average sized stack throughout and made it into the money (Top 6). I started to steal the blinds as we were all quite short with around 10BB's each I ended up pushing with AJ against a shorty with 5BB's, he calls with 9T and cripples me I then was left with around 4BB's on the blinds and had to call any two and lost Q2s < J9o But I cashed for £70, so its not al bad. Another Live Cash at least

I also said that Id ask about them printing out my Live Results, but the Poker Desk said that they only have records of my Cashes, but not the times that I've joined and busted out of the money so it doesn't really help me plead a case for a Stake as you could say I've joined 100 times and only cashed those amounts instead of the real results
The Casino is also holding a new £75+£25 Bounty Tourney on the 2nd Sunday of every month (The last one got 12 Runners) it has has 1R which is a little weird, if it wasn't for the Rebuy I may have given it a go, but its just too much for me as I'm already joining a £50 1R or 1A on the 29th where I will instant Rebuy so costing me £100 total. This one got 170 Runners last time and I cashed 17th for £150, this time I hope to ship it

I played a few MTT's on Stars also, but no sucess
Today I played my first NL10 Cash session since I tried to jump up to NL16 last week, I felt I was ready to play my A-Game again and loaded up some tables, it went very well and I couldn't resist posting a graph!

+$60 Niiiiiiicccceeee! ♦

So I'm back on track again, lets hope the run good lasts and I cna win back my last few sessions losses!

My Stars Bankroll now sits on $945 / 2860 FPP's
It should be +$20 more but I sent some over to my Dads account as he likes to play the odd MTTs here and there. I owed him some £, but saves him depositing

yo matt, that new torny is on the first sunday of every month, and noone rebought. it isnt a actual rebuy its a reentry, so you have to pay another bounty ect but 2 got paid for 250 and 550, + bountys so it wasant a bad payout i would have prefered to see top 3.

How have I never noticed this mod before? Hi ♦

I took a picture of the Poster on my last visit and it says "2nd Sunday of every month" Unless it has been changed since?
Ah... Now that I read it properly I see its a "Re-entry" but how does that work? Ppay £25 and you get another 30k Chips when you bust? Totally lost here.
Top 2 Paid? hmm, how many joined, like 11ish? Also what time did it finish?

As for an update on my Online, it has gone awful! Lost control of myself & not proud
I played some more Push/Fold tables on 888 that went well, eventually I was sat on a $10 table with around $90, which I then lost AI Pre KK<JJ, Revered it to make it even more painful -,-
I then joined some HU Hyper Turbos out of my Bankroll and lost, in short my Bankroll dropped down to $250, I then withdrew as I did not feel great about playing there after that, so I'm not down as such, started on 888 with $250 and left with $250, but for now I will stick to just Stars!

I have been 4 Tabling Zoom for the past week, had some major swings, learning how to play vs tighter opponents and trying out new ways to get the best value, I'll continue to play until I get a nice volume and then decide if I wish to continue Zoom or go back to Regular tables. I can't tell you if I'm up/down by Zoom as HM2 doesn't Filter NL10 Zoom/Regular like has done for NL2 and NL5? Just me or?

My Bankroll currently sits at $915 (Played some MTT's no cashes :() and 3850 FPP's.
I also have 3 $10 Stellar rewards to be collected and I'm only 75 VPP's away from my next, so I have around $100 worth of Bonus !

Hey,
11 days no blogging :P? You dont even share with us that you have moved up a limit(at leats it looks so since I saw NL16 hands). Anyway good luck at the tables
