Hey everybody....strange day for me yesterday..a friend told me he had been doing really well on stars and had also played sky and said the games were a lot softer on stars but bigger fields to get thru. so last week I signed up and have had a few gos with varied results, most not great, so many ppl chucking all there chips in with any ace, some not even that, sounds great but actualy makes it hard to play against as you realy don't know what ur up against...say you 3xbet sum1 with ak and get 2 folds and a shove and a re shove...you fold and the first guy shows a6 and the other guy qk!! very frustrating...so next time it happens you go with it and are facing aces and kings!! so I think what im trying, not very well, to say is the variance due to the field is much bigger. even tho I was taking notes it wasn't very often I encountered the same players, im sure over time it will help tho. So thurs nite I decided to give it a good bash and reged for a few tourneys, to cut a long story short I was still playing when the mrs went to bed and still playing when the kids got up!!! unfortunately I bust out before the big money, the field in some are 5000 and huge payouts...19th was my best for $180 $11 buy in and a few more around the $100 mark..all in all a very long nites work for not a lot of cash, im undecided as to go on or not,,the payouts are huge but I have a life..job kids etc...I didn't sleep all that day as had things to do and was so tired kept falling asleep in last nites main n mini!! so sorry if any1 was on my table!!passed out 9ish for a solid 12hrs!! if any1 has any experience with this or similar site would be interested in their thoughts on the matter.
before tiredness got the better of me took down the 4pm bh yesterday LmfaoAllin1140001£105.45 + £76.87 Head Prizes7£22.96and ftb the 12pm speedy but they only pay 5 places : ( LmfaoAllin06£7.03 Head Prizes3 I know it doesn't count as I didn't buy in 1st but I just bagged a seat for the viva las Vegas qtr final for a freeroll!! LmfaoAllin556754Entry to £3.2k Vegas Qtrthanks for the rail in this 1 misty4me
anyway good luck at the tables tonite everybody tpt ftw!!!!!
WELL DONE Wheels, Andipandy, 67Bhoys, GELDY, Matt and of course RichJONNY......
and also a big WELL DONE to Lmf-ao....it was good to watch u make it thru in the Freeby.
I had so much fun today....... got thru to £3.2K semi for just £1.85 but sadly couldn't get going in the semi itself, though I had so many Freerolls going too, probably got a bit distracted. I was dreaming for a minute when I lead the VLV weekly freeby....but soon got passed........tangling with an All-in idiot. one hand he shoved pre- with 95o .....flop came 678!!!!!
In the end managed to cash.....just ............so £2 Dale....LOL !!!!!!!!!
I was also trying to watch the horses this afternoon. I backed Gassin Golf (well I would wouldn't I !!!)each way@33/1 in the big race today, thought it was going to win at the last, but finished 3rd, and also just missed out with Some Buckle e/w@14/1 (finished 6th-paid 5 places !!!), and also Molo at Chepstow ....nice winner at 9/4
If you back anything in the 1st race at Cheltenham on Tuesday (and I love the favourite DOUVAN....even tho' its a bit short at 6/4, hopefully better price on Tuesday morning), make sure you back it with SKYBET coz you get your money back( up to £25) if your horse loses.......so literally you CAN'T LOSE !!!!!!!!
Couple of cashes for the pot Dale. great to see some good team cashes. Lmao going really well, quality results mate.

In roller satellite.
Entry to £20k Super Roller + As you have already registered/qualified for this event you have been awarded the cash equivalent of £110, which is equal to the Buy-in and Fee.
L.M.F.A.O. i've played Stars a few times found a BH I could actually cash in unlike Sky, best I did was 3rd but I was playing for around 8 hours till 3 am. Strange thing is their times still seem geared to the U.S. even though U.S.players can't play.
I found it totally the opposite with the loose calls, far more respect was shown to raises even with allins, but I'm talking about a small sample size of around 10 BH's. The only game that was played like bingo was a rebuy I tried and I swore never again.
If your playing on stars in the evening just make sure you've had a good days sleep!
Hi guys few cashes today...best came from a £3 all in sat into the £55 £2k bh came 5th for £126.75 but was also in the £6 sat and won that too so got the £55 boom...

And cheers Dale thanks for feed back. I think maybe it was just a mixture of a bad sample of starting games and at the start of tourneys the players who have sated in going mad...after a while it calms down!! been having bit better results last few days..thanks again for feedback and gl at the tables
That was some exalted company you were in against Matt.....a big WELL DONE mate.
and just in case you're wondering what I'm doing posting at 2.30am ......I've just picked the Mrs. and 18 year old daughter up from a night out in Truro .........and had to cook 'em pizza .......just in case they burnt the house down !!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Done Lmao and MattP......Great cashes guys.

Posted by MISTY4ME
Thanks Misty
Must say that cooking pizza at 2 am is above and beyond the call of duty. Good excuse to stay up late playing poker though!
Interesting point you mention on the exalted company I've been playing against. I have been debating dropping down a level or two in terms of buy in to try to become a more profitable player. Trouble is I do enjoy mixing it with the big boys at the high buy in mtts. The two £50 bhs are particular guilty pleasures. Any views most welcomed.
One more satellite cash. Managed to sneak a couple of hours this afternoon, which was an unusual treat. May not be on tonight, so good luck to you all.

Nice cash again Matt (edit) and GELDY - GL GL GL......... The Roller is one of the best tourneys of the week, especially for playing with the TOP players, and well worth playing in if you can, but I know it can be a very late finish, and does interfere with work ( or at least sleep before work!!!!!!!)
With regards the £55 B/H's , I think, as with all tourneys, play to your budget and what you can afford to lose. Obviously to play with better players is GREAT, particularly coz you see first hand how they play. But if it hurts the bank balance then drop to a lower level. I think you will find that not many people actually make a profit from playing POKER on here, but it's a great hobby, and when you get a win or a nice cash, you really appreciate it.
And if you're only investing the money you got from the roller sat. then why not use it to enter 2x £50 B/H's. The ROLLER is very difficult to cash in..... but the rewards are FANTASTIC if you play really well, and have that little bit of LUCK too.
Hope this helps you, but I know there are better and more experienced players than me in TPT who will be able to advise you more.....
Best of LUCK to everyone playing tonight.....and as always......
.......May the CASH be with you ALL
Sadly I missed out in all the freebies...... and didn't manage to UP my GAME and make even a £5 !!!!!!!!!!....... couldn't even manage to be 1 in 4
Don't think I need to tell you how my night went, 2 hands sums it up. Had 2 runner straight outdraws vs my pairs in 70/30 but these 2 standout. The 2nd one was just a little sick as I turned effective nuts really. Or what I thought was lol

Hey Misty
Good advice. Entered the roller and the 9pm £50 bh. Had a decent run in the roller, but geldy kept nicking my blinds and I went out without troubling the scorer...
However, a decent run in the 9pm £55bh. Should have pushed to tid, but called a shove from the big stack holding KJ on a j** board. Course, he had AJ. Need to pause and think, no way he's calling with worse than I held. Big leak to fix there.
