Not done any session reviews for a while, so gonna update.
Played good Friday, had a slow session, I hardly played tbh with all the sport on TV it's far too easy to get distracted.
Masters, IPL, 3 live football matches, and by the time they're finished I'm pretty sozzled/tired and un-motivated.
I lost about £20 overall, I tilt-reg'd a £52.50 Turbo HU game just before quitting the session. Stupid game selection again, and I got owned for the most part, but when the blinds were high I got some good hands and managed to come through to limit the damage.
That was it for the weekend until I woke up Sunday T-Time, and decided to take on my first all night session of the year so far......................
--------------------------------------
I used to do all nighters regularly, when playing cash. It made no sense chosing to grind cash through the day, if I had the opportunity to play through the night instead, so my sessions used to run more like 3pm-4/5am....
Nowardays it's more like midday-midnight.
Was a good session, despite bubbling the velocity in quite tilting fashion. A bink there would have made a solid session a really good one.
It's not so much bubbling that annoys me, it's not having the opportunity to get to the big money up top.
:@:@:@ agh!
Anyway HU diary innit, so here's the stats.
7-15am finish btw! Just about recovered now.........................
The other good thing about playing Sunday night instead of Monday all day, was I got the chance to play the league stars freeroll properly for the first time in ages.
Normally I just donk off shoving every single hand until I bust, or even ignore it completely. But I normally start sessions with some donkathons anyway so it was good timing.
I thought I played well and was in the "seat places" throughout the tourny, never in danger, and cruised to a seat.
The only problem is, I don't even really want it.....
Especially as it's not flexible, they've put me in this Thursday, and it's probably this Thursday or nothing (although I'll try my luck with customer care).
Can't complain, coz it's a freeroll, but I wish sky were more flexible with stuff like this.
I'd rather have as little as £25 cash credited to my account than £110 worth of tournament equity.
I satted into a UKOPs event for £5, a seat worth £110, and un-regd it on the day. I will probably end up doing the same with this tournament too, as I'm due to play tomorrow. Which makes Thursday a big nono.
Pros of playing it and donking straight out = I get 100 points.
Cons of playing it and donking straight out = -$160 on sharkscope.
What's worth more? lol.
Was nice to run deep in a decent sized tournament anyway.
I have been enjoying playing HU Hypers since the start of the "sit and Dohhhhhhh's"
The only problem is, is that i have been a losing player long term at this format for a long time over 6k games!!
I enjoy spewing at them and i have essentially been gambling lots.
But, now, i have decided to try to turn my -3% ROI around and to get back into profit at HU Hypers... How? By working hard to improve my game.
So the last couple of days of hard work and listening to dohhhhhhh has brought my game to fruition and i had my best session ever, a great profit and a stunning roi of 24%. Cant be sustainable obv, i ran so hot, but i also played well.
So, all being well, i can learn how to beat hu hypers consistantly and get that scope into the black! Please God!
For anyone reading who currently has a negative ROI at hu hyper sngs, that list Greg made is exactly what you SHOULDN'T do. DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM. N1 Greg, you massive fish. Just post your graph not a load of advice!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :@ What would AJS say????? !!!!!!! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Going along ok still. I'm exceeding my expectations at the minute. Graph is pretty swingy but il be delighted to keep up the 6% roi for the whole month.
In next weeks. The lobby advertised the prizes as "5k roller seat". No sign of a specific date or anything, think that helped swing it with CC!
Not ideal, as this weeks will be bigger, and softer, with 20 random league qualifiers.....
But the rollers are pretty soft nowardays anyway, loads of weak bad players now that there are a few a week. When they were occasional, the fields were alot stronger.
Just got to make sure I'm available now!
Weds - Sat - Tues - Fri.
Guna have to do some tinkering :P
Anyway, playing today first. It feels like I've watched thousands of hypers since I've last played one, watching the Hogg crush it.
Hope I can run like he has been running . . . . . . .

Haha, alright alright!!! I didn't even look at the qualifiers!!!! Just assumed it wud be soft. Ofc if I knew the 2 time TSP veteran, and fast becoming blue hoody legend, Jinglema was gonna be there, I wouldn't have made the comment! Who'd have thought a proper double your money grinder can play a big MTT, and end up bubbling!!!!! Couldn't make it up! Hope I'm allowed to bring the rubdownz out now, it's been a couple of weeks Best of luck in the next one, which one is it you're playing? I know u can substitute the 1k live entry for say 20 primos, or 10 rollers, are you not tempted by that? Or u want another shot at the bigtime? edit* - Also interested to find out how the whole tsp system works? Were you in credit before ur recent bink/renewal? How much did u have to play with? What are your options? Posted by DOHHHHHHH
3 time pleaze. :-)
We were given the option of playing UKOPS series 1 the 1st time I qual'd which I took, but this option was taken away the 2nd time and we were kinda told we were being put into GUKPT Walsall which I was v.happy to do and experience.
I haven't had any contact from priority team for this time, when I spoke to them last they said there could be changes in future for TSP so I'll have to wait and see.
I've got £400 in my TSP live roll (can't use online) atm which I was thinking of topping up and using for the £500 DTD £200k gtd deeepstack next month.

I had an accident last night
played a few 22 quid hypers at about 1.30 am, lost 5 in a row, didnt give up.. Why didnt i stick at the 10s or go to bed like i said i was? Im such a numpty. how to lose 130 quid in half an hour by the hogg. I need you watching!
I may just have imagined it, but I'm sure I heard somewhere that you were matey with Coxy/used to talk to him a bit about poker. I was just having a look on his website (because Jock mentioned about being coached by him) and reading his blogs about that challenge he did starting from £50.
He said he played SnGs and the odd very cheap MTT until he had built up a roll he was happy to play cash with. I was just wondering if you knew what SnGs he was playing, cos I imagine he'd have said if they were HU SnGs and I can't imagine him doing DYMs (just cos there's better winrates out there), but I always thought there was hardly any money in the regular SnGs.
So do you know what games he was playing? And am I right in thinking them regular SnGs are junk? Second place only gets about double his money (so you might as well play a DYM and only need to come 3rd) and 1st gets about 4x the BI but surely you can't expect to be winning THAT many in comparison to the number of times you won't even cash??
Is this wrong, dya reckon they're good if you're crushing them, how much could you really crush them? (not you in particular).
I only ask all this because after withdrawing some money, and then getting butchered in satellites, I carried on cashing it for a bit, but after having a serious think, I know that my bankroll is not an amount that I'm happy playing cash (even 4NL) but I'm sure I could spin it up through some SnGs, just deciding what's best to play...
