[Closed] My BRM, And improvements in play...

Nice blog.

Are you using the ICM?

Good luck

ICM, s'what I meant :P... Dunno where IRM came from.... It was late lol

Plus, Yay I'm silver lol

EDIT** Had a little stint of the $2 tables last night before I went to bed, and the opponents are pretty much the same skill level as the ones at $1, so I foresee no problems with the move.... Maybe they have a little more patience when it comes to the push or fold tactics but other than that it's pretty much the same.

Anyway, I had the best recovery at one point will get a couple of Hand histories flowing soon.... Blinds were 200/400 and I got majorly crippled, like if it had been a war.... I'd of just stepped on a land mine, and there would be my limbs all around me.

Down to just 55 chips!!! 5 Players in....

28 Hands later..... I come 2nd.....

Okay wasn't a first but still I enjoyed it. Lol

When you are basically dead like that it's nice to cash.... going to heads up I had 6,000 of the 15,000 in play, first hand was all in... My K,Q against his 2,2 .... I never improved....

Played 5 x $2 Sit and goes before bed. Miserable session to be honest, was lucky to stay even.... But the standard of play is the same, I just rarely hit and failed to extract maximum value for my premium hands. I was like getting 30 minutes in and on every table seemed to be Push or fold... So maybe have to start opening my range slightly at the earlier stages.... As it's currently tighter than a nuns.... well you know

But anyway back to point BR is $148.87

Had a bit of a day.... To be honest I shouldn't of played poker today... I knew I wasn't really in the mood. And the total lack of knowledge of what I played won and lost kind of proves it.... Sometimes when I have a good session (playing and mind wise, not profit) I can remember every place I finished in everything I played. Not today....

I got a bill through the post this morning for National Insurance, from like 5 years ago!

After using the little of my monthly budget I had left on that $100 deposit, I then had to go back to Titan and withdraw $80 to pay the bill .....

So that knocked me back down the SNG ladder in terms of BRM....

So anyway I'd played a few $2 SNG.....

Come out like only $1 in profit....

Then made my withdrawl and played a few $1 SNG's (sticking to BRM).... Also entered a $1 MTT with 500+ runners (failed to place, own mistake).

Anyway after doing all that I was down like $8 or something for the day....

After having a massive chunk taken out of my BR due to that bill, I was semi disheartened if ya like to be back playing the $1 SNG's.....

From near $150 to just about $63 or something taking into account the losses....

Anyway hit myself with a $10 SNG (slapped self as soon as it started for BRM)

But finished 3rd in that.....Taking $20.

BR..... $72.37 (+$80 that will be replaced) = $152.37

I'm not going to play like that $80 is present, but it will be replaced, as I genuinely think I can use it to my advantage.

My sharkscope, much to my horror tbh.... Really should be much better.....

You know what though in addition to last post...

I really enjoyed my $10 SNG, the standard of play was a lot better, raises generally were with reasonable hands, no idiots, just a few blokes and birds, playing proper poker....

I really can't wait to get there and being playing that level on a constant basis.... I kind of felt it suited my play a little more, my raises were respected not called by some donkey with A,2 and him getting lucky.

I mean there was one horrendious player there I have to admit, but he was VERY swiftly identified by all and taken out.... Then the poker was just good poker....

I am thinking what I may do is when I get my $10 payouts from my bonus, I might just use it to play one $10 SNG... I am now clearing two bonuses, and the other one can just add to my BR, and the $10 one I think I'll treat myself.

As usually with a $70 BR, my first stop would of been (prior PS) the $50 SNG.

So although I wavered slightly and I know you are all gonna say don't deviate etc.... But am gonna do it this way.... May give me something to go for, plus cure my itch to play the higher stakes, but keeping it controlled.

Meh I dunno let ya know how I get on

My first 100 SnG's, I know small sample, but I'm in the right mood at the minute, and Sharkscope has me set to hot form...

And I'm doing okay, after last nights diabolical plays anyway....

I dropped somewhere to the region of $60 last night, but after a cracker of a session on the $1 SnG's today so far (more to come), I have recovered all my losses from last night and gone beyond....

I played 7 x 10 man $1 SnG's taking $26 (3 x 1st, 2 x 2nd, 1 x 7th and 1 x 5th)
And 4 x 10 Man double up SnG's, and failed to cash in one equalling $6
And 1 x 600+ MTT $3,000GTD Freeroll, which I failed to cash in (116 finishing position).

BR stands at $80.37

Now food, then back to the tables.....

Well, just a quick note as it's extremely late... Or early, depends how you look at it....

I cashed in 3 final tables today..... Stay tuned for the details... This is really just a reminder for me to put up some stuff that bugged me a bit....

HH and weekly profit graph on the way.... Btw, $2 SnG's do not agree with me AT ALL!! Hence the MTT switch....

That's all for now but to say .....

BR $193.26

Can an admin or mod please delete this blog thread....

I have a proper blog now that I will add as a sig....

And looking through the forum to find this one is just a pain.

Thank you.

Where's the blog :P? I just found this one and it's quite interesting, just stick to BRM and keep up the good play :)!

Not that anyone will be all that interested I'm sure, but I've had to redo my blog as I can't find a site which will host large enough pages for me to add full page images... So all the pretty graphs and everything will have to be negated.

I may add some here and post a link on my blog I don't know yet.

But I will redo the link once it's sorted. I have about 6 posts in my new one, but it's mainly daily results etc. So not as nice as I intended it to be

But as an update here's my weekly chart so far over 6 days.

Oh yeah.. Do you like my custom background?

Here's me just about to felt Phil Ivey.... Lol

If you want details on custom backgrounds and things, leave me a note here and I'll message you with details

very nice graph (and background too :)). do you play NL, BSS, SSS, FR or SH? or FL? nice winrate, wouldn't complain if i had 5BB/100 over like a month ♦.

I play NLHE....And only ever FR, Can't stand short handed games. I don't use SSS or BSS... I use my own MSS (Mid Stack Strategy in case you didn't get it ) Lol...

Perhaps I should write it out and PS can add it to the site

Seriously though, with BSS I feel the swings are to wild if you are on a downswing, but at the same time SSS is not really a grinders friend, I multitable and to keep switching tables is a nightmare when I have 6 tables running.

So I developed a happy medium MSS.
