One small profit but steady session and not just finished with a great session, no suckouts and the one set up. Managed to finish on £20 so a nice £5 profit in an hour session. No more downswing for now and been playing well, and about time too. Now hopefully I can push on and start going higher up with my roll.
We both are doing well now so first one to £100 again. Thats me done for today too.

I was up but now down as some short stack before went all in with K10s and I called with KK and as usual lost to a flush. One table I am doing great on but the other I just hitting dead cards and flops against these bad players. Luckily because of the other table I am still even now even with that loss I just endured and not hitting anything.

How much are you down man?
Loved this hand I played about 20 hands ago:

Idiot.
Variance swinging bad again for me. Just was winning in a coin flip against a short stack with 77 and he was about to lose but a straight came down for a split pot. Then another another table this fish twice called big raises OOP and hit massive with his low crap when I had JJ, or chasing and cached a straight so I am now down from being up at £21 just after I started and now on £17.60. Pisses me off when I start playing amazing then all that crap happens but its only a few BI's so I can win it back.
Edit. seems I only lost to £19 instead so only a little down. Good times still.
------------ Just got banned from the chat box on my table. I was fuming and told the mod to F-off after I kicked off to the luckiest worst fish ever. Flopped two pair and check raise this guy who kept calling me down with 86s for no reason(Unless he thought I was bluffing the check raise) and two flush cards came out to give he a 100% flukey flush. Every time I flop two pairs I either got buggered over by straight or flush chasing guys but this just took the mick and shows how variance always rewards the idiots. I was furious that that could happen when on the flop he was on 0% to win anything.
Meanwhile on my second table I won all I lost on the other table with that joke and more so things are going good still.
------------ Going to have a break now as that loss has me rattled and I would rather not start spewing or taking silly actions.
BR now on $30.80(Should have been £33) so doing great today so far.
------------ Fed up with this game.Always something to ruin my great hands. I know I was slow playing thin but I was trying to get everyone to hopefully have flush and straight draws but as usual the worst hand wins. Sick.

G'day mate
Did I just read that correctly you were playing with 50% of your entire bankroll on one table. Dude learn from my former mistakes and STOP endangering your bankroll. wishing you all the best. be cool

No, that top one was from months ago when I had a massive BR. It's the second one down was from last night. When I take hand history from ladbrokes you have to save the hand to a file before being able to copy and past and I did not realize I named them the same, so they both came up.
I did end the night coming back and finishing in a little profit, so another good night.
Bankroll currently on 31.20 now after going down to £27 after a few beats.
------------ And here we go, fish city winning everything as usual. 3 bet with KK and get called by J9 and of course hits two pair and then have A10s on the button and flop came A6sks and had tpmk and a flush draw and a fish kept calling for for a straight card as as usual got it.
Only down to £27.80 not a great first session so far, but my losing streak with KK continues. It's like a death hand to me with the fish.
------------ I am going to start donking KK from now on because every time I have either an Ace comes down on the flop after some fish calls my 3 bet or a straight or flush come out. I folded KK a minute ago as know I was beat how this must be my 20th time of losing with this hand and it's just stupid. I know it is not a guaranteed win but everyone else manages fine with it.

Maybe you should post other hands :
- hands that you have won when you were way behind, this also happens
It s just a way to keep your head clean so you will not tilt when you face the unlucky beats. Just keep on focussing on your gameplay and meaningwhile focus on the lucky wins you got and you ll see it will equalize the unlucky beats a little.

Oh I haven't been tilting, that's why I write stuff to vent. If I get it off my chest and vent then it helps me from tilting. I am not saying I had beats from having KK it's just when fish call massive 3bets with crap and hit something big. Although maybe some players do it because they know I have a top hand so want to crack it?
Finally got paid off by KK. Pushed all in on the flop with J being the highest card on it and there was a flush draw. I was taking no chances this time just in case and the guy called with KJo. So I managed to win some good money from that.
Bankroll $36. Slowly climbing.
Edit: I am calling time for that session. Going to have a break until my daily night session before bed but even with such a rubbish start and a couple BI's down I finish the first session on £38.
------------ Another great session and sufficient profit for these states. Been a good day poker wise for once as I am playing really well. Even managed to crush someones set of J's since I also had a J and a flush draw. Tested him with a 3 bet as I know the reg's plays and he 4 bet me so I just called and luckily hit a flush as he went all in thinking I did not have one.
Bankroll now: £44.30
Not bad since I have grinded that from my last £4. So a nice £40 profit so far by having a few small sessions a day.

Good thing you keep climbing. Keep it up that way. By the way what currency do you use, cause you are mentioning US$ and pounds, and there is a big difference between them. I hope it is pounds Good luck.

I use £. Must have used $ by accident as it is right next to the £ sign. Enjoying the climb so far.Cannot wait until I have enough roll to start the 0.05/0.10NL tables but thats a way off still.

Thank's guys. It's finally all going good for me once again. My hand have been holding up for a change and less beats and set ups as there was when I was on that major downswing.
Just had another cracking session. Going to have a break from cash tables now until tonight, then in a few hours I have two big freerolls to play so hopefully my confidence and upswing can come with me to those.

You just need to ride your bad times and you will be fine my friend, but with the bankroll I have now I am more than rolled for 0.01/0.02NL tables so no chance of going busto unless I go up to the 0.05/0.10NL or higher stakes, which I will not this time until I am over £100.

Things still going bad for you is it, do you still have your bankroll though? Got a bit too big headed and confident this morning with trying to bluff like a manic so lost a little, but it's nothing I cannot win back tonight.
£52 down from £57.
------------ Had another good session. Started with a few beats and then won it back plus some more. Going well so far.
Thats me done for today too.
Good luck.
