I went on holiday to Turkey with my girlfriend at the end of September, had a great time except 2 of the tenants I had lined upto move in did no shows and one cancelled so that was a little stressful and had to spend a fair bit of time on a shitty internet conection trying to get new tenants in with no luck. When I got back I had to slash the prices down but at least its full now and the bills are gettting paid so I have no real outgoings for the time being.

I said to my housemate that he can take my room until he finds a job so I have moved back to my moms in the midlands for a bit, I hope he finds one soon because Vicky is about 4 hours away on trains so there gonna be a lot of travelling. I guess that means I can watch a lot of training vids though. Just hate the fact there's no direct transport route, have to get a bus to the train station and then change trains 2 or 3 times.

So I have moved home with the intention of sitting in my room and becoming a hermet playing 6max.
I'm unsure how to accomplish this if I'm going to spend the best part of 2 days travelling down to and another 2 days at Vicky's

5 guys went up to the GUKPT in Coventry a few weekends ago and one of them gave me a lift home as my house is like 30mins away. He picked me up late and says he's not gonna have time to drive me home now ill have to come to the casino with him and hell stake me into a cash game. He then rang up everyone else and told them I was coming and can they all chip in for a buyin into the main event.

EZ game. LOL

Anyway the main was a shambles just barely won a pot and grinded 6 levels before getting it in for just over average and busted. The exit hand was frustrating. It was my second hand on the table and a guy 3x UTG to 1800 and I had AhQs and made it 3750 from UTG+1 with 8K back. he peels OOP with KJo. flop comes Kxx all spades and he chks to me I shove. dont know why I didnt chk back, he deliberated for ever preflop so i thought he basically had AT,AJ,QT-QK.

he calls my all in and says do you have aces?
I say no. Then the is turn one, I think I'm home and dry and a fucking K drops on the river UGH.

Ah well it was a complete freeroll so I cant complain. Two of the guys made the final but I think they bust 8th and 7th in the end.

That leg was friday night. I went out wed and had an all dayer starting about 2pm thursday, I cant believe I played so solid considering how knackered/hungover I was,

Left the casino after having a few drinks and went to check into the hotel... What a shithole it was, we got there the elevator buttons were all hanging off walked into the room we were supposed to be in and the was a woman in the bed LOL! then the night porter was like well sorry boys your rooms gone b/c you didn't check in by 12am. Why give us the key and then send us up then you DICK!

The next day we woke up at 9am to watch Wales v France in the rugby and I started beveraging at 9.30, saturday got out of hand but this entry is getting long so i'll leave that for now.

With regards to sitting in my room grinding 6max; I want to play 5 1hour sessions a day 20/21 days a month 4 tabling for now so I can focus on opponents/decisions although whilst table selecting I oftern find that number creeping up to 6-8 tables. The software on Ipoker is SO tilting tables keep bumping up all over the place, there not much room for player notes and you cant tile the tables accross multiple monitors.

This months volume has been pretty awful because I haven't really had much chance to get my head down and play. I've played 3.8k hands over 10.5hours its early days and I aways seem to jinx myself so I'll post my results at a later date.. Im on 20NL at the moment.

I go to post bail on tuesday so going to have a mad one the night before as its halloween

Check this ^^ out. ipoker is mega tilting. Good luck with the volume! I find it easier to play more like 3 x 1.5 or 2 hour sessions, and as long as I have no music, no skype, no facebook, then concentraing isn't too hard. I also think playing slightly longer lets you take advantage of tably dynamis and meta game that you can pay attention to and benefit from when you're playing 4 tables.. GL!

Thanks for that, do you also know what program makes tables appear in the same order/size/position on the monitor as they open? All my sessions thus far have been at least 1.5hrs because I was playing well and the tables were good, I just feel that in the past it's around the hour mark where my concentration laps and I have a spew.

Yeah I've been experimenting with longer session and my advice (don't take it as gospel) would be to play for an hour or so, maybe a little longer - or maybe when you make a silly or unjustified play, then sit out all your tables, go get a drink, somethign to eat, and sit back in after 5 or 10 minutes. Just long enough to refresh yourself but not long enough to have all your tables break/dynamic drop. I think when playing 4 tables there's so much money to be won from the game flow etc.
With these mini breaks I feel like I've been playing really good 3 hour sessions.

As far as the tables go, I don't think i can help you.. minimaxmod should make them all the same size though.. Did you get onto the ipoker beta?
It's pretty easy to mod, just go to the cloud thing, pick a nice one, then adjust it to fit your huds and what not in nicely.
