I used to play quite a lot on Sky Poker between 20nl-100nl. I always thought you were one of the better players that I played against. Good luck to you mate. Posted by kimdongun
Havent played as much as I would have hoped over the past few days so it looks like I may struggle to make priority now. Still going to go for it. Won't have time to play tonight so will have to try and make priority over the next couple of days. Will be watching the Champions League Final tonight so my money will be going on that instead of poker tonight, fingers crossed for Real Madrid!
So I was struggling to hit priority and needed to make around 1500 points in 2 days. Ended up making 2100 in two days but it came at a price. Decided that I needed to move up to 50nl to make the points but ran awful and lost around 350. So yes I ended up making priority but the cons outweighed the pros. Learnt from it I guess and wont be doing that again. The poker balance is just constantly rollercoastering (if thats a word) up and down, need to hit a steady profit streak. June targets is to hit priority and keep my discipline by sticking to 20 and 30nl stakes.
Was asked to post this hand in the Diary. Heres some terrible poker play.

I can't decide whether this was tilt or not but at some point, whether it was a for a few seconds, I genuinely believed I was ahead with 4s. Ah well, that didnt help with losses
I guess that does seem like a spot that can be considered for a hero call, presuming you put him on either flush or straight draw.
My naïve brain is more confused with QQ shoving river here. Seems quite fine move for value and not sure what better hands it could bluff you off (AA / AK / KcQc / Kc/Jc?) and not sure you call with much worse unless this is a levelling thing where you have player notes that suggest they bluff lots of rivers and therefore they know you will often hero call with worse?
Would be way more used to seeing a FH or busted draw... although that may be indicative that most of my poker if NL10-20!
Yeah im assuming he tried to get me off hands you suggested and maybe didnt want to just call with queens there and see my cards have spiked a king. I don't think he would expect me to hero call with anything worse than his hand but his eyes must have lit up when saw my very brave 44s.
Some pretty horrid coolers there had a similar year to you tbh been a tough one. Just gotta look at the hands and think could I have ever folded or got away there? And I think nearly all them you cant do anything different so gotta power through it!

Yeah it's been tough. I guess so mate, see you on the tables.
So not much to report. 8 days later and only made 1,000 points so volume has been pretty poor. Going to be tough to hit priority this month but that's the aim. Slow progress
So huge profits, up £1 if you include the cash rewards. Plan is to put in good volume all week as will struggle to hit priority otherwise. Don't want to make priority my main reason for putting in volume but I want to try and put some hours in any way. Aim is still 1k profit by the end of the month.
So it's been a good month, just off the target profit mark but it's been my best month of the year. Managed to just hit priority too...hopefully can have a similar or better month in July.
