    Hey all,

    Bohsman has insisted I start one of these to post HH's for criticism in the hopes that my game will improve.

    Bit of background on me:
    Most of you would probably recognise me from The Merrion or The Fitz as I worked in both for a few years. Everyone pretty much knows me as Harry Potter. AKA Neil. Poker for me started in The Merrion at the Thursday freerolls, slowly working my way up to the €20 game and from there I started playing solidly 4/5 days a week. After about a 2 year live stint I decided to give online a crack. Now I've never really pushed hard online to better myself up until recently. Even after being staked by Gutshot Poker, I never took it too seriously. Mainly because I knew that if I lost, my roll would be replenished on Friday at midnight.

    About 10 months ago I got a $600 stake from Bohsman to play $6.50 9man SnG's on Stars. It went horrendous to say the least. 20 tabling was not my brightest idea. After about 3 or 4 weeks of solid losing I shipped the remaining funds back as I felt I wasn't ready. Back to the drawing board for me. I began reading a bit here, not posting as I wasn't really playing much so felt I had little or nothing to contribute. Finally gave 2+2 a proper read. Still monitoring a few threads closely.

    So here I am, ready to take a shot once again at grinding a profit in $6.50 9man SnG's

    My roll has started at $200 (I know 30 BI's is a little less than optimal but I really feel I can grind it out)

    Below is a link to my Sharkscope. The long losing session was my previous attempt. The upswing is my result over the past 2 weeks. I work a full-time job so am unable to put in huge volume. Playing in batches of 4, sometimes 5, for roughly 3 hours 4 nights a week.

    My goal from this is to improve and I feel with constant nit picking at my play it will. I will post my exit hand from every SnG and any other hands I think are interesting.

    Thanks for reading!

        Best of Luck with this Neil, always thought you were fairly solid anytime I seen you in dublin, mostly fitz or Jackpot tourneys. Maybe a bit on the lag side, comfortable taking pots OOP against drooler regs.

        Best of luck with this

          gl Neil, we'll probably mix it up in a couple of these because i'm in the same games.

            1st Batch done

            Seriously un-happy with how I played. I honestly dont know what I was thinking in 2 of the spots.

            Here's my exit hands anyways.

            4 down and 1 3rd place.

            1st

            Both players have been quite tight. 3 handed for about 4/5 orbits and there was 1 all in. Thought it was decent spot to pick up some blinds.

            BB: t6750 M = 18
            Hero (BTN): t2655 M = 7.08
            SB: t4095 M = 10.92

            Pre Flop: (t375) Hero is BTN with 7:club: 5:club:
            Hero raises to t2630 all in, 1 fold, BB calls t2430

            Flop: (t5435) 3:diamond: T:club: 3:spade: (2 players - 1 is all in)

            Turn: (t5435) 9:spade: (2 players - 1 is all in)

            River: (t5435) A:heart: (2 players - 1 is all in)

            Final Pot: t5435
            BB shows A:club: 8:club: (two pair, Aces and Threes)
            Hero shows 7:club: 5:club: (a pair of Threes)
            BB wins t5435


            2nd

            Not really sure what warranted a push here. I've played through the blinds and should have been happy to pick a better spot

            A sure way to go broke playing poker is to play a hand like this:

            4th

            I was happy enough with this shove to be honest. Just didn't think I'd get called behind by 77

                Played a much more solid game this time around. Tight for the first 3 levels and then opened up a lot. Played very agressive at the latter stages and it paid off.

                1st

                I think this is a pretty standard shove?

                This one was crap. He doubled through me in the previous hand when he called my shove with 6-3. Should have won

                      As of right now, all I have is a trial run of HEM and Tourney Manager. Going to invest in both before the end of the month.

                          Only played 2 this time round as I'm feeling a bit sleepy. Was working earlier.

                          1st

                          Played a little too tight to let myself get so short. Not many decisions to this hand IMO

                                Was hoping to get in a good session tonight but really not in the right frame of mind. 3 day weekend though so should have something to post over the next 3 days.

                                      Probably going to drop down to the $3 9mans to try get a boost in my confidence again.

                                      Losing sucks.

                                        Finally got around to play a bit. Reg'd for a batch only to find flushdraw sitting to my left in 2

                                        First exit hand. I re-raised the flop to see if I was up against a set and then when I found out, couldn't fold
