Remember to search for the dude everytime you play...It was nice playing right next to you, Even if it cost me some chips. I'll for sure search for The Atm guy, he's definitely Ev+ for my Bankroll. If it was your first day, then it was a success. My thoughts: You play very tight. Maybe you should go take a look at the FL Advance SHC in the bronze section. They suggest to play some more hands. Or maybe I'm the one who play too loose.
Anyway today was great: made around 40$ from FL. Now I have to play the night MTT before going to sleep.

Lower limits must be sooo loosy that the SHC won't work properly. Some late position plays on the SHC are meant to push people to make mistakes(calling or folding on the blind, laying down the winner in early position etc...). And I really don't think that It will happens on lower limits just because people call because it's cheap. I started playing FL at 0.25/0.5 at Mansion with a bankroll I got from MTT winnings. The graphs on that platform is VERY swingy with alot of waves because I was learning how to play FL. Meaning that I took some risks. But I still think that it's worthy since the SHC chart take more effect at 0.25/0.5FL. I also think that on higher limits like 0.5/1, playing SHC is very profitable.
Meanwhile I hit 203.22$ bankroll even after I lost around 10$ in MTT's and SnG just today...
What I've learned: Table selection is very cool, it can double or triple your winnings.
What I need to learn: Playing against loose players with a dry flop, Making the difference between a BB 3betting to re-steal to the 3bet with him holding a Monster.
Tomorrow I'll take note of the ATMs from my limit. They really are worth fallowing :P.
Today was a very bad FL day... I first turn the 203$ to 218$... took a break and come back. PLay on 3table and started loosing soo hard. It all started with few bad beats then I started playing bad hands. even With them I get more bad beats (logic). My bankroll went from 218$ to 176$. I promess during 3hours I didn't catch one hand... Oh i did... they get bad beats, or just beat. Anyway I was in a cloud of tilt (heavy tilt). But instead of giving up I refill, take a cigarette break, come back 5mn later and start playiing again. 3hours later... meaning now I get back my bankroll to 209$. This is the first time I beat tilt. In the meantime I get second in the Freeroll Qualifiers.
One of the hidden reason I get on tilt is that I started arguing with this one guy. They where two and I think one of them is from Pokerstrategy. Whatever I talk too much when I'm at the tables and it affect a lot my game. I'll try to avoid that next time.

I'm doing just fine. All today's games was just ups n down. I spend hours trinna recover from very big looses(100BB). I play loose too and i'm not very proud. But I have to say today SHC wasn't successful. All of my AA KK QQ got wiped out but all of my trash hands win huge pots. Looking the positive way, some may think that I'm a donk and search for me next time. After a down to 185$ again I went all the way back to 216$. The first hours of the game are killing me. I tend to wait 2h minimum to take advantage of cool hands and the loose players that robe me.
There was no MTT today. If the hard time at FL don't stop, I guess I'll just play MTT's tomorrow. Took note of some LOOOSY players that bet or raise my bet with absolutely nothing. They help me very much to win back the money lost. I'll post screenames of some of them if some other players are willing to post there Gold mine!! It's just that it's not fair for those who have there screenname on the hunt list. Anyway I don't see a lots of FL players from PS coming around this side, so there is no point doing so.
Biggest lost of the day!!!
(don't ask why I kept betting, They was both very lose)

You had strong hand on the flop, even if you were behind against str8, you've had good odds for drawing to FullHouse. Well played, turn fold would be not an option.

I don't mind a bit... bye the way this is not really a blog. It's a quest... I'll create a real blog if I beat 0.25/0.5 FL. For that I need 350$ in my account(since half my bankroll is from MTT winnings).
Yes ben2m, I played a tournament yesterday after 2days break. You can check the results on "Our winnings". You should also post your MTT's winnings there. It's nice to see that you're doing great. I personally suck on SnG's (and will definitely figure out why when I finish my introduction to FL)
