With the 66 hand, you should give some thought to what happens if villain checks behind on the turn: you have no chance to get his whole stack.

Alternative is to check/raise the flop or check/call flop and lead out on the turn.

At this limit you should be able to check raise your monsters for value.

Thanks for your advice Tim64, i see what you mean. I think my reasoning at the time was that he only seemed to have been betting when he had something so i checked again thinking he would bet.

Played a few more hands over the past few days and im 1 1/2 bi down. Not to bad but i think i could have done better, should have defo played more than i did.

Bankroll - $142.26

I also played the Titan Daily $100 freeroll today and came 4th ♠_cool: Only $6 but hey every little helps ♦.
Im gonna give the Stars Womens Poker League a go this month so it turned out to be good practice.

Ok so since my last update i have started playing a few tournaments. I have played 3 of the Womens Poker League this month and have won twice and placed once. Last time i checked i was leading overall

Im not a huge fan of playing cash at the same time as tourney's so Wriggers has agreed to stake me so i can play some other MTT's at the same time.

I will still be trying to get as much cash play in as i can. However I am really enjoying playing MTT's at the moment. It gets me playing for longer when i do play because i cant exactly just stop playing whenever i want. It ties me down and makes me play. Its not been going to bad either, no big wins yet but a few small cashes.

My current bankroll - $ 150.09

I thought i would also post a graph. This is since Wriggers started staking me on NL5. Not many hands yet, quite shocked at my red line though.

Nice graph ♠_cool: ♠_cool: Obviously no sample size but if you keep at it that winrate is sustainable at NL5 barring any sick runbad ♦

nice blog

Are you by any chance this becky?

@wriggers, Thanks, cross fingers i keep it up

@ Gerv, yep thats me ..... ok maybe not, but there is a resemblance... if you stand faaaar away and squint lol

hi all,

Sorry its been ages since my last post. Its been toooo long. What can i say... im lazy... but mostly very shy ♠_grin:

Anyway, just thought i would let everyone know im still alive, and still playing. Wriggers is still staking me and im now on NL10 ♠_cool:

Current bankroll is at $317.13

Im still working on getting my volume up and working on my game, reading articles and watching vids etc. Feeling a lot more motivated since the new year, hopefully this will be a good year.

Gunna leave it there for now, I will try not to leave it as long before my next post this time. Might even post an updated graph soon.

Welcome back

Did you stick to your 1000 Hands per day?

Make me richer while I can't play please? ♦

No unfortunately not, im working on it though. One thing i am struggling with is getting decent volume in. its getting better though. Il get there soon, hopefully ♦

hey all,

Not much to report really. Been quite swingy the past few days so not really got anywhere. I have however set up my own website to try and get some TAF referrals as haven't had any yet. Its a work in progress but hopefully it works and i can get some $$$ for my bankroll, yay!

Im also gunna give one of the $0.50+R sats a go in about 30mins to try and get in to the Red Spade Open on Stars. Think i will give myself a limit of 2 rebuys and an add on and see how it goes.

Wish me luck ♦
