Todays MTT win means that i am now in profit for mtt's in my whoe time on sky, which is great progress considering only 4 months ago i was -£610 in mtt's hopefully i can continue to progress and build up a roll big enough for some main event and bink one or 2
terrible day mostly thanks to one, how should i put it... less than convential player in a £55 dym, but any time someone 3 bet shoves you with 7 2 for 2000 chips your going to be laughing in the long run right...
Hi mate Well done on the mtt front - I was quite happily crushing till you decide to join in haha. Making lots of FT's but running / playing bad in key spots and not getting that bink. How many wins you got now this year? £55 dym shoving 72 - sign me up haha Posted by Nuggy962
I'll check for sure later but I've won at least 4/5 and had decent finishes in more, I think the main improvement for me is that I'm still cashing the same (maybe slightly more) tourneys but I'm turning these mini cashes into deeper runs, and I tend to have a good record on FT's once there I'll make the top 2/3 more often than not, and strongly rate my heads up game against most people I have encountered so far in those spots.
But tbh I'm still my playing as many mtts' as I should be so this could all be a short term variance thing, hopefully not only time will tell. But if dyms keep frustrating me as much as they do I think I may heavily increase mtt volume and start playing more of the £11's and ME's
sticking this one down to varience, im more than sure there were bad plays aswell, not worth moaning bout though ive had my share of good results recently was due a bad one
had a few days off, then a couple of mixed days but my excel chart got messed up some how.. anyway i fixed it now and yesterdays results are a good way to get this going again
better get on the grind if you want prio this month! Posted by chiggypig
hi chiggy,
im not aiming for prio this month as i have had so much stuff going on that it was never going to be possible, want to start actually making money from poker rather than the rakeback so focusing on improving my game

Probably for the best, it's a lot of volume at the stakes you're currently playing, I wouldn't be able to average 30+ DYMs a day!
will be continuing with this soon, ive moved away from dyms and am only playing mtt's at the moment, i will probably go back to them at some point im just really enjoying mtt's atm and not enjoying dyms so figure its best not to play them. just redesigning my table to make it forum friendly then will start to update again

Good luck with the MTTs mate, I'm sure you'll take down a few to give that bankroll a boost.
Been really poor at posting here despite relatively good results, on a bit of a down swing now although nothing major need to improve my focus though so bringing this back.
will update with results after tonights games. but before then figured id post a bit about Vegas.
For me it was a once in a life time trip (unless by chance i happen to win another one) i thoroughly enjoyed every second, and as i have already posted on the forum think sky and the rest of the players out there were all great very helpful and very inclusive, anyone wanting to do the group stuff were welcomes by all, and anyone wanting to do their own thing well that was cool to.
there was so much to do out there and although i didn't do everything i wanted to i did get quite a few things done, a trip to see Chris angel (enjoyable to a point but i wouldn't recommend it), a trip to see Penn and Teller (would recommend it) and jumping off the stratosphere (would highly recommend it) were some of the highlights of the trip.
the only low of the trip being when we stopped at the Vegas sign to take photos, i hand my mate my phone for the picture stand underneath it strike a pose ask if he has got it to which he replies yes, walk off get my phone back sit on the bus and off we go. later on in the day i look back to see he had taken every photo with my flip phone case cover blocking the screen.. sigh, hardly anything to worry about though its just a photo.
The food out there was great (here's where hufty will get interested) although i probably didn't eat as often as i should have sometimes you gt to into doing things then 10 hours later u think i haven't eaten breakfast or lunch today and now its dinner time the all you can eat sea food buffet at the Fremont was amazing, but the meal that topped them all was at the outback steakhouse by far and away the best steak i have ever consumed ive even goggled where i can find them in the uk so i can treat the mrs sometime, although im not sure she will ever deserve to come with me just to ruin the steak by ordering it well done..
The poker overall went OK. the Droplet i treated just as any other tourney and im happy overall with how i played in most spots, although i did clash with RSPCA a few to many times for my liking. the cash games were very up and down, and had it not been for 2, 2 outers on the last morning costing me approximately $800 id of been coming home with a decent profit, overall i probably finished approximately even at the poker tables for the week.
the same can be said of roulette and blackjack, i had 2 very heavy winning plays at both, but for the most part lost a little each time i played so probably about BE for those to. i guess whenever you can go to Vegas and not really lose a lot at gambling its always a plus.
the trip home wasn't ideal with my bags going one way and me another and having to run between last minute transferred flights etc, but that's all part of the fun of traveling (along with my plus one being close to unwakeable on the morning we left causing us to leave for the airport a full hour and a half later than planned and close to the point where i was considering going alone)
overall a great experience one that i can only hope i win again. once again thankyou sky
so last night was a big fat blank, -£75 for the night and only even came close to cashing in one game. dont feel like i played to bad though hopefully things will change soon
