310 Quid is GOOD!!!!

Man, i need to stop playing for the sake of it. I need to focus! I need to concentrate!And I need to maintain my A game at all times whatever stakes im playing.

Leaked like Full on Tap today, donated few buy-ins at $1/2 and $2/5 mainly to corrosive, forunately for him and unfortunately for me he had made some awesome calls on me but it must have been visible that my game was not creative enough. My betting structure was crap and i was trying to buy every pot.

Then i sit at $5/10 again with bluecheek at 2 simultaneous tables -before i start i would like to make it clear that i think Bluecheek is a very good disciplined player who happens to be on a bad run.-

We must've played for about 4.5-5 hrs and manage to cover my losses for the day and even make a nice tidy profit of 310 quid.

The game started with me being extremely stupidly aggresive which resulted with few good calls by "BC" and that was enough to keep me honest for a while then things turned round and i was up. The chips were swinging from one to the other at high frequency for a long time before i hit my rush and stack him for a few times.

To be honest the match could've been either way had he hit the rush instead of me.

Too tired to post hands as we went through 100s of them. There were a few interesting ones but seriously i feel too drained to look for them.

The roll stands at 7861 quid.

PS: that anonymous tip has actually got me thinking about my game and was the trigger for me to re-focus during the game. So whoever it was THANK YOU!

£2445 is the name of the WIN!!!!!!!!

Got back from work, saw the most important person in my life, had some great time then had to head back home. Fired up littlewoods poker and started to look for games. I sat at $1/2 reluctantly waiting for an opponent and a player called "Kilimaha" sits. This is interesting because i used to play him at $.25/$.50 heads up. And for some reason or another he has tagged me as a total fish. For him to move up his stakes to play me its weird. After insulting me and calling me names (lol bless him) i stack him within few minutes. Then everything went pear shaped. I had to pay his quads and fullhouse and he manages to win a mere 100 dollars of me then sits out like a little kid. Claiming how good he is and that im a total fish.

After he left i sit at 2 more $1/2 and 1 $2/5 heads up tables only to wait there on my own. So got bored and decided that rather than multi tabling i would sit at one $5/10 heads up and give it my full attention.

This is where things got interesting. Player called Bluecheek was sat withh $1000 dollars so i join him. Bless him after few minutes of domination and over aggression by which time i already was up apprx 1000 dollars without showdown mustve pissed him of and this hand happens.

At this stage i knew i was in for a lot of value and was happy to see i get action this easily. :-)

As it turns out though he is a very nice guy and we had nice chat while playing.

to cut the long story short 3.5 hours of play turns in my favour and i manage to stack him several times to reach my peak of $7000. Ended the session at $6300 dollars.

This brings me back to where i was yesterday before cash out and the roll now stands at 7551 quid.

Happy days

PS: i don't like posting hands but i thought this was necessary to show the importance of why i insisted on playing the game.

OK i think i have cashed out a nice sum of £2500 just in time. Reason i say its just in time is because i have been deluded by the large sums of profit i made in the last few days.
My sense of value has been deteriorated and consequently it has effected my game selection in a negative way. I started to jump into bigger games. 10/20 25/50 and the temptation was getting irresistible. Although my style i believe was actually where i wanted it to be i was bound to be swept by the variance as i am/was under rolled for those levels.

Luckily i have escaped through those limits without any damage and have managed to make a smallish profit of 100 quid.

This is a tough challenge and i recognize that lack of concentration or too much confidence can lead to the famous BUSTO!!! which i don't want ...

Other flattering news is that i have been refused heads up games by some of the players i used to idolize when i was playing smaller stakes. They claimed i was too good after playing 10 hands. LOOOLLLLLL

Sensible decision i guess.

Roll is now at £5113.96.

PS: due to the nature of the heads up games i play, i feel its unnecessary to post hands. But if anyone is interested i can do so.

HIGH FIIIIVVVEEEEE to £1748 win!!!!!!!

Well very good day not just in terms of poker, but also there has been some great news concerning my personal life.

Unfortunately though CALLPLS is heavily injured after going upto 150 quid then droping to 0!!!! he wont be waking up for a while.

As the last man standing, ROYALFIRE has gone past the low stakes stages and hopefully won't look back unless something drastic happens. RF has managed to bank a win of 1748 quid.

The roll now stands at 7581 QUID!!!

i did take a shot at 10/20 without great success almost broke even (maybe a little win too.)

Then dropped down to where i feel comfortable $1/2 and if i run well $2/5. Had a heads up match with Lang_59 at $2/5 and skillfully stacked him 4.2 times (although he claims i was extremely lucky again!). But he returned to the table 5 minutes later and managed to win $900 back.




Overall i think its a great progress..

+283

Played for a couple of hours and banked a nice win of 283 quid. Peaked at 600 quid profit but one all in against a flush draw on flop when i held jj against A2h on a 6h 9s 3h board meant that my winnings were reduced. Gotta love the game

Not much else to report on really.

Royalfire now stands at 5833 quid
callpls still on 30

approx +£1100

short session in the morning resulted with me donating $400 (200 of it being my winnings) to lang_59 at $1/2 and a further $500 to him at $2/5. To be honest was running pretty bad it felt like i couldn't shoot an elephant from 30cm...

Midday had another short session at $2/5 and managed to cover my losses from the morning.

Then went out for a bit to enjoy the beautiful day and see a friend. Come back in the evening to have a short session of $2/5 and managed to bank a win of approx £1100...

Callpls account is now at £30 after i cashed out £300 today. I will have to turn it into a small project to try and build it up again.

Royalfire is really on fire and is now at a whopping £5550.

structure? stop/loss limits? stakes? what do they mean????

before greed takes over i have to I HAVE TO sort something out...

Not learning but Bankroll is Growing.....

Im not gonna write any lecturing about myself today. I was out of the system and played $1/2 hu. then 2/5 and 5/10 . My lowest point was 500 dollars and i sat with that entire roll of $500 on 5/10 and managed to take the roll upto $6400 dollars.

Then lost around $2000 and won some more on two simultaneous tables of $2/5 HU against the same player. (sat with $500 on both tables managed to leave with $2500 from both against lang_56)

The roll stands at 4587 quid on royalfire and 331 quid on callpls...

I don't want this blog to turn into a bluescouse...Serious thinking needs to be done!!!
