gazza's cash game's 2008

Ok this is intended to act as my bankroll yardstick,post any hands that I think I played well or I think were bad beats (eh GaF ) etc.

I am fairly new to cash games so feel free at any stage to offer advice/criticism (constructive ).

Just before Christmas I withdraw most of my bankroll for shopping but hey,it was a good Christmas. I think I had a couple of hundred Euro's left in Virgin and Paradise but for the sake of easyiness (is that a word) I will include them in 2008 figures

The main sites I intend playing at are Virgin and Paradise. I will also look at all my old accounts and if there is $20 or over I try building on that, lower than that I will withdraw to Neteller. I deposited into VC for the PL exclusive game, $50 so I will also be playing there.

Below are the current figures and I will try and update after each session . I will just add that I have also in the last week withdrawn from Paradise and Virgin. Got a little confused () and I think their balance is both showing 0.00 so will need to make a deposit back from Neteller

The figures for below will be the 2008 figures

The withdrawals to neteller and deposit to VC;

Jan 10 10:06

WebDollar

-

£733.06

GBP

Jan 10 08:07

Sportingbet.com

-

£300.00

GBP

Both above are withdrawals

Deposit to VC;

Jan 07 10:52

Victor Chandler International

£30.00

-

GBP

That makes a total so far of +1003.06GBP. I will use the 1£ = 2$ for easyiness .

The total looks good to start the year but bear in mind that will drop over the next week or so when I make deposits back into Virgin/Paradise

This was posted earlier by myself in the other thread...

Short session tonight on the VC tables, .50/1 and bought in for $50

Ended session at $76.70

Start balance at VC was a deposit of £30 ($60) so taking into account the PL exclusive £5 = 0.50 (which I will keep included in the total) that session has ended as

Initail deposit $60
End cash session $76.70

So another $16.70 to add to the running total

As a start if there's any easier way to keep track of the profit/loss margin then please chip in with advice

Will have a look back through my Virgin Hand History for some of the bigger hands and post them here (although I think it only goes back 100 hands)

Just had another hour on the VC tables,

Start Balance $76.70
End session balance $109.44

Was a bit strange tbh, this was the 6 seater (allways play the short-handed tables) .50/1 tables but found it a better quality of play earlier on the .25/.50 tables

Still, another $32.84 towards the total

Not sure what time you were playing mate but sometimes late Fridays and Saturdays you get some weird play - I put it down to people coming home after the pub.

Nice going though - more profit.

Here's some of the hands from the last couple of weeks,


*** Showdown *** : Rake: 3.00 Total Pot: 430.60
dairyboy Fold Win: 0.00
PLgazza [Kc, Kd] Two pair kings and deuces Win: 430.60
Gnuhunter Fold Win: 0.00
Elo_Janusz Fold Win: 0.00
PasiER [N/A, N/A] Highest card threes Win: 0.00



*** Showdown *** : Rake: 3.00 Total Pot: 498.70
Big_Aces Fold Win: 0.00
efsane1900 Fold Win: 0.00
leijohn21 Fold Win: 0.00
operno Fold Win: 0.00
PLgazza [8h, Kh] Flush to the king Win: 498.70



*** Showdown *** : Rake: 3.00 Total Pot: 441.00
Big_Aces Fold Win: 0.00
efsane1900 Fold Win: 0.00
leijohn21 Fold Win: 0.00
StephanBo Fold Win: 0.00
PLgazza [Kh, 5h] Flush to the king Win: 441.00

All the above were on the 1/2 tables but going to go back to the .25/.50 and .50/1 tables for a while to get a bigger bankroll behind me before I go back up to the 1/2 tables

I have had one big loss where I lost an entire buy in on one hand but looking through my hand history the other loss's are all fairly small, around the $20 - $40 mark.

The last 2 hands printed above, winning decent pots with K8s and I think was K4s, any views on playing those sort of cards ?

I play the short handed games (5 seater at Boss) and if I can see a flop cheaply with a couple of suited cards then why not ? Easy to bin if you dont hit but if you do hit then you can expect a nice pay day with them.

Right/wrong ?

I think on a fairly placid table where someone isn't always raising limpers, that kind of hand is playable. I would say that it is very dependant on the nature of the table though.

Good luck with this gazza, yes playing suited cards can be very profitable, but a lot of people get sucked in if they hit say the king in the examples youve given, then it can be costly.

Good Luck with this Gaz,

Would like to see your balance in 6mths at triple

Losing session on VC tonight, horrendous run of cards/beats

Start session $100
End session $31.51

Have edited the title as my bankroll is all over the place at the moment, have made a couple more withdrawals and also a couple of fairly big deposits (poker kings and full tilt for the HMOB games).

Have not properly played the cash tables for nearly 2 weeks now due to work/family commitments. I also seem to have a fair bit of money spread about several accounts and think that I should be keeping my cash play to one network or even one site so I can keep records more easily.

I am off for a week now so expect to get back into it a bit, anyone got a link to the spreadsheet for cash games that Croc is using ? I have done a search but didnt see it, altho only been in from work a few minutes and having a couple of beers

[the croc]

stt/sng spreadsheet

think theres a link in this thread m8

this is the sng spreadsheet i use,just put my cash sessions in the ring games section(under extas)

Cheers Croc, will have a look for that in a minute

thats better

[GotaFancy?]

Dont forget Hodgeys spreadsheet too Poker Cash Games Recorder

[jolly67]

gl with this gazza i'm hopeless at the cash tables, but i need to start playing again, if only to get the raked hands for V-rolls.

another short session on Virgin,


Bought in for $50 and session ended on $86.40 before the site froze and table collapsed

I know there is another thread on Virgin problems with freezing etc but it is bloody annoying .

Has happened to me a lot prior to the last 2 weeks and was one of the reasons I stopped playing so much TBH, lost quite a bit on hands when raising with a decent hand then then site freezing.

ooooooh nice quick session on Poker Kings before I got frozen out ( my internet connection this time )

Bought in for $100 and ended session on $259
