Tight is right.....

Since the last post i ended up losing all of it, a mixture of bad beats and loose player. I keep thinking i can out play the player with re-raises, but forget its 1/2 and most of the time the fish will call, rather than higher up where they will respect certain moves and re-raises. So i just started playing basic poker really, tight aggressive with a the odd few bluffs on very rare occassions lol! I think this will be the only way to rebuild my huge losses, as at the time of writing this it seems to be working, so now i am $929 up this month, going down from 1.3k down to $-363 and back up to the current $929. I know this is so fuckin measley, but most important im happy with how im playing and off course it helps hitting the sets and getting paid off. Its all about the set, nothing else........the best hand i reckon for getting a lot of money. Also i noticed i used to raise most pair and any pair from any position, i have since calmed down and started limping with certain low pairs and folding at times too! I am going to head over to the 'VIC' casino in london, suprising ive never been as i found out its only like a 25min drive for me, ive heard its easy pickings on a fri and sat night, but then again so is online! Hmmm....nah i will go to play live as the only live cash games ive played were in vegas 2006. I aint gonna touch the tournies as im wasting my money it seems, ok thats enuff waffling, mo fo's gota earn sum dough lol!

On the rise again?..........

First things first regarding the MPP CPC thingy on hills, no i didnt get a seat, went out 259th. I made a bad move i suppose, went all-in with 55 on BTN wen i really didnt need to as id been playing quite well up until that point, and the BB calls with KK. Ok i was unlucky to run into a big hand like that, but i could have waited for a better spot. Was feckin pissed off, esp when i say to myself ill learn and do things differently, but i still dont. And i do need to stop jamming that all-in button so quickly when i dont need to and a smaller raise would do the same job. I'm gona blame it on the fact i wasnt feeling well as ive come down with the flu! fukin bollocks lemsip and paramol beechams or woteva shit it dnt work and it made me drowsy lol!. I did play the betfair 16k and came 18th for $192....wow hahahaha! Also came 3rd in a $5 rebuy PLO tourny on Fulltilt for $110.

hmmmm....cash games im on the up so far this month up $1.3k. Been playing mostly $1/2 NL and trying not to fulfill my urge to play higher stakes. I know if i was playing fulltime im quite confident i could make a consistent income playing 1/2. I have also become more agressive in my play raising more in position than i used to, actually thinking about the betting on different streets and think about how im going to play back on the next street dependent on card and his range. Apologies for the long time since last post, also would like to say good luck to amatay for doing what ive always thought about doing and probly alot of others out there, that being Playing poker fulltime and quiting work. All the best to you and evry1 else and me lol........
