Cool, always wanted to visit Scotland! Are the games good?

I've played in Nottingham and Leicester (tiny bit in London as well), but don't live in the UK anymore.

Ended up 4 tabling 20NL, felt comfortable, game plays the same with a little more 3betting and less fold to 3bets. could be sample size, i hope it isnt and people are calling 3bets 70% of time

I don't play casinos that much. Just a pub game twice a week. There's a few games on local to me. I could play 4x a week live if i could be bothered.

Where are you originally from? Where are you now?

BB showed Q♠: K♣: and lost (-$10.41 net)
Hero showed Q♦: 8♦: and won $20.32 ($9.91 net)

Funny hand from the other day. Slightly looser CO open but BB seemed a weak player. I treat min donk like a check. Turn pretty good card for us. Bet size indicates he now has a made hand. So don't see FE in a semi bluff. His jam is pretty sick but makes no sense at all. if he has the nuts he's losing a ton of value v the rest of my range. His bluff would be a lot better if he had a :diamond: or the nut blocker:Ad:

What's your thoughts on the hand? do you play it different?

+£80 at 50NL Live last night.
No big hands really, AK>ATo for a decent sized pot.
Lost QJs < QTo vs a shorty all in pre.
3bet QKo SB v BTN. Btn was only 1 of the 2 regs i think fold often enough to 3Bets. but 3 of the original limpers called and we wiff the flop:f_confused:

Was up a buyin at 20NL online. nothing really happened until this last table i had open as i was closing the sesh:

WEEK 3

GRAPH

OVERALL

Volume sucked this week. Need to set times for grinding and studying. atm I just play when i have free time and feel like it.

I'm getting just over 500H/hr 6 tabling. 30K hands a month would be nice but i really doubt i have the time. 15k is more realistic if i plan it out. that's like 1hr a day which should be more than doable.

So close to the BR double up! Hopefully another win this week will secure it!:f_drink: GL!

Decided to put in a good volume session. played almost 2hrs.

Was ready to end session halfway through, then won a nice pot that encouraged me to continue.

Things fell into place after that and got myself one of them smiley face graphs:f_biggrin:

Off to see if 50NL live is running. GL me

Made a mod for Microgaming.

The active player indicator isn't very good and was struggling to see who it was on

Nah, not playing at all online and haven't played live in over a year either. I click buttons in business anyway :f_tongue:

Trying to crush business, yeah... Came to the forum to have a look what's going on in the poker world, maybe look for some recruits too.

_cool: :fuckyeah::truestory:
