ive had the worst variance ive had in the last 3 months the last 2-3 days, some shortstacker steals like 40bb from me when he hits his miracle 2 out river, and then i go stack off for 150bb's when i can't fold jacks to kings on 334 flops, im playing like a f*ing monkey, this is the graph for the last 3 days, only the last 300 hands are at nl100

Can anyone suggest a good place to play live in london? Have never played live before and would like some advice...

Have found Grosvenor Casino which is located around edgeware road, read some online reviews and it looks ok... They offter a £0.50-£1 NL game which you can buy in for around £25 and up, might give it a go, am nowhere near rolled for it but would like to give it a go, might even be fun [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]... Anyone been there or know of other good places to play in london?

Also, any major differences as far as strategy goes between online and live that I should know about? Links would be great.

Thanks

Guy

Play tight, and raise bigger. The gutshot is supposed to be a nice small stakes pokerroom.

so im sitting at this table, stacked a guy for pretty much his entire full stack with a set. i raise and some shorty calls. i end up with the shorty all in, he has like 30c on the table. he wins with bottom pair on a two overcard flop. WTF? he proceeds to double up again against me. the guy is winning with the most rediculous hands. i want my money back so im playing tons of pots with him trying to hit cause he calls all day long with anything. proceed to this hand.

what do you guys think about fewer tables/ shorter sessions/ possibly higher stakes and less hands for a solution to my recent problems?

gelford, what kind of monitor setup do you have? do you play much these days?

[hennnerz]

ssdex, how many of those hands in the graph are in the last 2-3 days, post ur stats too.

[BishopsFinger]

well nl25 has been fun.

major tilt sessions and lack of self control when considering when to bluff has kept my winrate stunted a little but im still happy with it.







this is gonna be a bit of closure for me at nl25 as im fed up of it. played a few thou at nl50 and just spewed around a load - im going to move up for good though now - unless i go busto.

cashed out tonnes from my acc so am having to deposit to be rolled for moving up - i think that helps as it feels more liike real losses as opposed to just playing with profit.

EDIT: this was originally a whinging post but the brew has enough of that. so instead its a happy im moving up post - joy joy joy.

edit2: my lifetime at nl50 thus far on ftp - a solid foundation! lol.

well today i decided id had enough of nl25.
ive beaten it consistently and at a pretty good rate for 25kish hands (see graph) despite blowing a [censored] load on stupid random bluffs/monkey tilt sessions. (i think without tilt my winrate would be over 10ptbb/100)




so i decide that despite being underrolled (450 as i have cashed out + spent A LOT) ill just start playing at nl50. lose a BI to a 6 outer o the river (AI on turn) then decide to just bluff away aimlessly.



yes i am a goon - now underolled for nl25 FFS!!!

Playing NL100 should hopefully make you focus. Play a normal game, maybe a few less tables (4-6), and profit.
