Danshot Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 So I've previously tried to stick with a blog thread , on here and after awhile have ended up in the same cycle I have a small amount of success then end up having a horrible session that lead me to undo all my hard work by looking for a quick fix to the losses namely playing hyper turbo's a stake's above any kind of appropriate BRM never mind the extra swings of Hyper HUs and 6-Max. My tilt level since the last thread started by me on here has not been too bad , have become much more adjusted to when I'm playing bad and when just running into a brick wall. However last night I felt that tilt monster starting to bubble inside of me and started cursing my luck admittedly that is probably also frustration creeping in from the fact that thought had finally landed a job and it not being legit so back searching. This has however re-motivated me to not mess up at the tables and keep focused on achieving whilst continually improving myself. Where am I at right now : Currently my main game is a mixture of $1.5 & $3.5 6 Max Turbo SnGs , I have a 50/50 profit split on these as although I'm profitable it much easier not having to worry about reloads , as I know can just grind it back up again. I'm also allowed to play MTTs with this stake so basically covers all buy-in's play on Stars , with the added bonus of keeping me away from Hyper Turbo's. Where as before I had goals that was aiming for , I think might be best to just play the games that fit the budget and if want to add in goals at later date I will , maybe starting smaller monthly goals from June onwards. I will still be playing some other games on the smaller sites when I feel there is value either added value or a structure I feel that may have edge in or looks like a fun concept. Also looking at a way of building in some charity aspect in to my activities on the felt. Good Luck to everyone else on the felt , and making it my number one goal to put some names to faces and attend the next Punter's Lounge Championships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danshot Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) So playing without set goals is maybe not the best strategy for trying to grind out a profit. Will be designating a set time-table of events for me to play adding in a lot more free-roll's and playing more MTTs , and staying away from Cash Tables & Heads Up these are my main Tilt Inducers. Will post further details of my goals for June in the upcoming days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danshot Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) So a new month starts tomorrow and time to put up some goals for June. I've been feeling more confident in my play and understanding of the game of late and exactly where my strengths & weaknesses lay. Objectives for June : Play at least 150 SnGs a week - Avoid playing Cash & Heads Up (only if MTT) - Review more hands - Find a leak in my game and fix it - To organise a diary of best MTTs to play - Hope's for June : Win an MTT with 100+Runners - Improve my PB score - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danshot Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) RED ALERT Well felt was playing really well in most , playing most spots well until get right on the bubble. * 1st Aces can't hold in the Bounty to finish 4 off the money vs KQ on Q43 flop , turn helps is a 3 so just need fade Queen now but wait ..... Q on river * 2nd Queens cracked by Sixes preflop when 3or4 off the money , to leave me with 5BB blind down to 3BB get in A9>J8 and cant hold to finish 2 off the money. Incredibly frustrating and just reminds me that my biggest challenge is the fact the now just deflated and mentally drained. Something I really want to overcome but just seem to haunt me , and have me replaying the hand even though I know played the situation fine and its just variance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danshot Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) Well feeling a bit more positive today , only played one event took 2 bullets in Fixed Limit Badugi MTOPs that finished 5th last time round , and again managed to Final Table so back to back in an event with 928 & 723 runners respectively I'm very happy with. Initially was gutted that couldn't improve on 5th but given that was down to 2BB at 60/120 level got to be pleased to even get near the money never mind build a stack that was top with 4 tables left. Tomorrow the plan is to concentrate on No Limit MTTs though while getting in more SnGs as failing on my Weekly Target of SnGs , as try find a good balance between playing and rest.

Danshot Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) 1 Step Forward 1 Step Back , I don't know why I do it to myself I know which games lead me to tilt when I get a couple of bad beats and yet I decide these are the perfect game to have a relaxing night on 888 with. How foolish can one guy be , I end up starting nicely on a (push/fold) cash table and getting beat with Aces on a 873ccc board all in vs 85ss who hit runner runner straight on me , then start to play super turbo HU's and continue to run awful luckily the result in the end monetary wise wasn't as bad as could of been and only lost $35. It's more the mental side that I'm annoyed at myself for. Rule 1 - Only play if I know I'm enjoying playing rather than just chasing money Hope that is the last bout of TILT see for awhile.

Danshot Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) Unfortunately that was an early exit , Kings into Aces preflop , I suspected was a chance he had them but tough to fold them and too often see people play JJ , QQ & AK the same way and ended up 6 bet jamming but was committed after I 4 bet to 540 of my 2500 stack , on to the Bounty Game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danshot Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) Currently of to a good start in the Friday Full House over double average , but got crippled in Bounty by some guy overplaying 44 and getting lucky vs my Aces AIPF. http://img15.imagefra.me/i26k/danshot/qh9w_a43_uca6a.jpg' alt='qh9w_a43_uca6a.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danshot Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) Further update , the guy who overplayed 44 continued to spew off his chips rapidly to bust 1 place after me #standard Lost another big pot with the higher pair 99 vs shorter stack 77 but he binks a 7. Just one of them nights I guess still got 12BB so time to spin it up hopefully with bit of kind fortune :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danshot Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) Close again. GL :hope Unfortunately pretty much bubbled , didn't do much wrong just couldn't win the bigger all-in hands even from dominating positions. Not sure how limp calling off another 11BB with A3 is a winning play , but good luck to him. http://img10.imagefra.me/i66k/danshot/r8r7_b8a_uca6a.jpg' alt='r8r7_b8a_uca6a.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danshot Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) Okay so this month's goals are already pretty out of the window , trying to find the right balance being poker and non-poker hasn't been as easy as though would be and also been distracted bit by the World Cup however for one reason or another my interest in seeing all the matches as slowly faded for 1 reason or another (mainly the fact England lived up to expections :spank). So my sole goal for the rest of this month is to get back into the groove of multi-tabling for more than just an hour here and there. And allowed me to set some realistic goals that I'm actually focused on achieving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danshot Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Re: Battling against Tilt (DanShot Phase 3) So have been neglecting this thread , for a number of reasons. 1st , As mentioned before have mainly been playing 6 Max SnG's so not as much to report back. 2nd , When have played tourney's to say not been spectacular is an understatement (albeit small sample size) 3rd , Lost a bit of motivation to grind poker while trying to improve the rest of my life off the virtual felt. and 4th but not last , I have finally landed myself a Job and looking forward to starting that sometime after next Tues , will still play some games but obviously a lot more for fun than trying to eek out profit in Micro SnGs (although when motivated do enjoy grinding these). So yeah that is the latest , I will still be updating from time to time especially as might try other games out like eventually trying to sat into a Live Event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
