You bet I would.
Anyone played much recently?
Just nailed 8th in a freeroll of 750. Won $68 but it seems a pitiful amount given the amount of entrants, may have to start playing more cash tourneys.
Better than a kick in the teeth as they say.

That's a real good effort Dazzzler. My lucks been out recently, no money finishes for a few weeks now...

Not played for a couple of weeks due to skintness/busyness. Also I managed to go from a $50 deposit to $7 then back to $80. Cashed out my original $50 then lost the remaining $30 on 2 bad beats. The wonders of cash tables.

Most of the successful players tend to have a bankroll like you Si.
Say $100 in at the start of the week and then play a set amount each night to a set target.
Just trying to develop the patience really.

Just played my first real money tournament in real life against some people form the Cardiff Uni pool society. Standard was fucking high, really tight players. There was 4 tables of 7 people, all knew how to play one guy had won $5,000 in a $100 buy-in tournament on pokerroom the other day. Everyone started with £5 and I worked my way up to £15 but I was down to my last £1 8th out of 8 people and I was small blind which was £1 too so went all in and won. Then the next hand 3 people on the other table went all-in, two lost so I made it to the money and the final table which was the last 6 by just hanging on.  Then despite going all in 10-15 times I worked my way back up to £20, took out a couple of people who were way ahead of me before eventually going out in 4th. Thing started at 7pm, finished at 1am. I won £15 for 4th. :advercool: |

How's your grasp of different player types and spotting 'tells' Si me old mucker? That's been my target of late trying to improve my judgement of player types and looking for the tells in their game. Tonight I won that little lot pretty much off one player who I'd labelled as an 'aggressive-loose' sort of chap. Real cocky fucker too which was an added bonus. He constantly re-raised anything even after he checked after the flop. Nailed him on a slow play pocket aces and 9's after he tried to steal the pot with all-in's.  Normally I browse on here or watch TV waiting for a decent hand to come up but tonight I concentrated on the action for a change. I met a full-timer the other day. Not professional but makes on average between £300-£800 a week. Had some cracking advice to share. |

Yeah when I'm playing for money I don't have any distractions and I seem to play a lot better. I rarely bluff with the cash games, sometimes semi bluff but I find that people call all the way to the river most of the time (at least one).
My reads were getting alot better, but I'm out of practice now.

No revelations unfortunately Yeovil.
A lot of it was what to watch for in other player’s games and the like.
He works on a weekly bankroll and treats it as much as possible as his job. He’ll sit down play a daily set limit and as soon as he’s reached his quota he’ll quit or have a crack at a tournament game.
He does use two PC’s side by side but said this was more for an insurance policy and to increase the odds pre-flop rather than give himself an edge in play.
Patience was the biggest factor he said that made the difference.
