DAY 4 CASH: 20-30NL. 6-8 tables 1 hour. Roughy £60 profit. I didn't record it properly because I was at uni playing on there computers. I struggle to play more than 4 at home because our internet in this dive of a uni house is woeful. MTTs: Main £55 £10k BH. I late reg'd after about half hour and flopped a set of Kings of a KJ10, got it in against Qs and yeah I was out after about 10 minutes. £55 Speed BH. £42 HP. £11 £3000 R. 4th. £218 £10.60 SPT Quater. Lose. Mini. Called an all in with 28 pre for about 60bbs just after I went out of the main Ive final tabled (one day was 7th) all 4 days but unable to close a big win lol. ANY TIPS ON FT PLAY - I just cannot win at a final table. I have honestly probably made 15-20 FT's of the 8pm or 9pm since December and not won once. Roll £2219 Posted by RyanC7
i find final table the easy part you HAVE to play aggresive and catch cards here and there ;p
Was a decent start to the day. Played 2 sessions of 20nl 6 table each half hour making £9.60 and £87.
I then decided to play another one before 6pm.
I managed to get in AK v AQ and Q8 pre. yes he limped for 20p and then put in £20 with Q hi pre. Must of strayed from the SkyVegas. Yeah the river was OBV a queen. When will this happen for me Sky?
Someone then called a 5bet shove with 34 and the flop came 567. LOOOL COME ON NOW - how much rake must be paying to get rewarded liike this haha . Also when i post hands in here they will not show holecards no matter what i do?
So yeah session 3 ended after 15 mins with a loss of £45. Soooo annoying. I play short sessions to deal with tilt. My win rate is always higher probably to do with my level of concentration but 15 mins has to be a new record.

Just copy and paste it into the box, then where you can see the letters/numbers for your holecards just delete that bit Trying to hide your own spew?
Great work so far btw. Fancy teaching me to play MTTs

yeah prob but i prefer playing irl and i have gone o quite a few big final tables
I'm sure as one of the better sky mtt regs you'll do this. Only played you once but I could tell from about 4 hands that you're better than like 72.4% of the players on here haha.

Im sure you could do it. I think you need more confidence lol. Most of your posts in the forum seem like you know what your doing and have quite a big edge (20nl etc). Do you sit at empty tables btw? This will boost your win rate dramatically. The fields in MTTs on here are so weak - anyone can do it. Its probably jsut a few tweaks here and there and a few less presses of the call button. GL

Yeah and in them 4 hands you 3 bet/4bet/927bet me 5 times haha. Cheers mate.
6th/42 in main. Someone opens for 4x on 250/500 level with 20bigs. I flat with AQ. Flop AK3. he puts half his stack in. In it goes he has Kings. Nice play lol. Then i scrap down to final 19. AA v 22. And there comes the big stack special lolol ofc. 2 on flop
I wouldn't suggest peeling w/ AQ from a 4x open w/ effective 20bb Posted by percival09
Active opponent. Me in cutoff. Av stack was 30ish bigs at this point. Hes gonna be jamming a tonne of flops after opening 4x plus his 4x opening range doesnt just include As n Ks lol. He 4x'd coz he wanted it in. A hi flop no K this type of player cbets and stacks off
Agree with Perci.. I dont like doing anything against a 4x on sky with AQ... I might even fold pre depending on opening position and the player's tendancies. A jam is always getting called, and we are racing or crushed. There are lots of softer spots Ryan as you know...
edit.... just seen he was active, well i guess we jam and hope he wakes up with AJ lol
Some may say this is ambitous (for a player of my skill level within the specified time period) but I feel its achievable. I've decided to this for motivational purposes. I wont be making any withdrawals along the way. I treated poker from a recreational perspective where I enjoyed the game and the odd of profit was a bonus. This was until October 2012 when I decided to quit my job and use poker to get me by whilst I studied at uni. Although this was poor judgement at the time as I was not very good when I made this decision (that's the great thing about poker everyone thinks there good - delusion - me?). However, I feel my game has improved alot and that confidence is a strong tool when you are trying to achieve in any area. Ive found it difficult to fit in alot of volume with the pressures of being a second year student. I've had to select the "cool-off" option multiple times so that I would actually pick up a book. The main period was for 2 weeks prior to Dec 14th. Dec 14th meant christmas break and I was buzzing to be able to play much more poker. In this 3 week period I was able to make £3k just playing the nightly mains and a bit of cash and reached my highest ever amount of c4ps (4.5k). I decided to withdraw this money, buy a watch and use the rest for holidays in Ibiza and Thailand this summer. This way the money felt real and unlike some Kudos points fluctuating up and down on a computer screen. I returned to uni on the 7th of Jan and had my worst month of poker, where I broke even despite winning the £55bh for £900ish (which is not to be snarled at uni!). During this month I earnt less than 2000 c4p so I guess its my own fault for not putting the volume in. So far February has been a very good month for me. So far my total profit is £2.4k for MTTs and £400 for Cash. This is probably due to volume as Ive already passed my highest c4p and will hopefully make priority for the first time this month. I have made withdrawals so that I can survive for the next month or two. My roll is now £1500 which will be my highest ever starting roll when aiming to achieve something. I will be playing the nightly mains starting tonight. Also I will play a mixture of 20nl-50nl, the odd £11BH, £5.50 velocity and satellites to £55+ and maybe SPT London. I will probably update every 2 days with what tournaments Ive played, the status of my roll and some hands along the way. Whatever the result, I will end this discussion on April 1st. Wish me luck Posted by RyanC7
some chance on this site the way its playing since they were sorry to inconvenience us but they were making changes.....absolutely no big hands are holding up....well....exaggeration....1 out of 12 maybe....absolutely disgusted having pkt kings or ace king pushed all in by 6 3 suited or the like and constantly turned over to fly in the face of the laws of the universe and therefore the law of average...been playing well....so knowing that I keep telling myself ur just being unlucky......for the third month......maybe I don't put in enough money?...maybe when I reach a quota expected by sky i'll start winning.....it's baffling how for most of last year it was hard to keep me out of a decent place money in tourneys.....and now i'm lucky if I don't get blinded out by sitting for perhaps an hour or more without a playable hand...meanwhile at the table the worst players I ever seen are raking it in.....I'm not surprised I don't see the same regulars in these tourney's that were stalwarts last year.....they just quit before me.....I confidently predict an exodus of long time regulars from sky poker this year....me.....I like the numbers and the format god help me....i'll keep playing the odd one til' I can't take the insult anymore......cos I've already comfortably covered my loses and more under a different user name on a different site......
Watched you for a bit when i busted the main ryan, i'm well aware you are dissapointed with 6th but still another very good cash and best to look at the positive side of another good run.

Sorry pal but im struggling to understand your purpose of writing this.
1) are you saying I am one of these "worst players youve ever seen raking it in"?
2) are you just disgusted with Sky ?
3) is this a desperate plead because somewhere inside you you feel its benter than Berlusconi and that by saying this you might get rewarded lol?
