Fair enough. Glad to see you are still focusing on cash. I wouldn't mind getting involved in some regular sweats again. Not sure if fig, jon etc are still actively doing them? Do you do any?

I'm doing sweats with Fig. John is a bit busy. Let me know. Would happily join 🙂
 
Sounds good. Weekends are almost always good for me and i wouldn't mind a day in the week where a few of us can get together for a few hours, sweat and talk spots. I am back chipping away at the cash games again. Fig, if i log in to skype, i assume the same group is still running?

Hi J.
The Skype group still exists but I'm finding Skype so troublesome to use recently that Alu and I ran a sweat on Google hangouts and it was a much more stable platform.
John did moot going over to hangouts about a year ago and I think it makes sense to set up a fresh group there. You just need a gmail account and hook up with us.
I still communicate on a fairly regular basis with John. His Drivehud product is really taking off now and he says he's super busy but will try to drop in when he can if we give him a bit of notice. Historically he was available on Tuesdays around 2000 GMT.
The group died a bit of a death for a while. Of the mainstays 'Oreo' left the USA to live in Paraguay and went awol, although I understand he's back in the US without a roll.. Timovieman and VinylSpiros both quit poker and Ianthefish went back to his uni studies.
Just recently I've been helping Alu and 'Ahoy' aka Marek. Although Marek has recently managed to get Marginal and Duggs sweating him so he doesnt need me now!
Really the beauty of cards chat is there is nothing to stop anyone from personally messaging anyone within CC for help.
 
Bruce. I hope you are well. Keen to get something regular going asap really. I am happy to set up a new hangouts group if you want to send me your email dress and we can put something together from there? Unless you already have soemthing in place? I feel an active group of 5 or more players in and around the same stakes will be so beneficial for all of us. Glad to be back. Looking forward to it.
 
alucard sorry for hijacking your thread! xD anyone else that wants to get involved, let us know.

What a wonderful month this has been!!!

I'm back to being profitable at cash with a good win rate.
I'm doing great on personal business side & partnered up with a friend & we are gonna speed up things.
I'm getting more involved with my parents' business line & things are looking good.

And plus, I'm doing very good on tourneys!!!

Another bink today!! :elefant:

Feels so damn good!!!
Was with a huge chip lead coming to the FT. Almost 100 bigs. Then got knocked down a bit & played carefully.
I was even trying to make a deal since it's a turbo.
But went through to HU with a slight chip disadvantage but his HU game was poor.

Had my first 3 figure score for the year in the last SUN Storm. Like you I've decided to aim for the big wins thread too. Here's to us getting there! :beer:
 
Had another small cash after playing for 7 hours at the party 18-L 5.50

34rd out of 3k players for around $60.

Was gunning for the top prize but could get there unfortunately.

Last hand
Didn't feel right cbetting on that flop. His check on turn is why I bet the river. Should've check called I guess. The call on the shove is meh.. He could rep a small pair or an ace.

Since I was awake, played the ACR CC freeroll. Played super loose & managed to get a huge chip lead. Unluckily lost a couple of flips at HU.
So the 2nd place for $15. 😀

Have around $30 there & don't know what to do with it.

Your bet on the flop vs that kind of opponent should be bigger, like 16-18bb

What kind of opponent? His stats doesn't seem odd to me
Fold to 3 bet was also high as I remember.

24-15 over 400 hands is quite alot of hands played.. he is in cutoff now so If he is playing 24% overall what is he playing from cutoff to get to that.. 50%? You Say that his stats does not look odd but the position he plays is important.. pretty much any K and lots of Qs probably there also. Also because fold to 3bet high shows that he opens alot of junk there. A bigger bet on flop should work better i think
 
Played some 10NL today with some success.

Could've been a better resul if I'm not to play like an idiot in the beginning.
