I've managed to convince Emma to start playing more HU because she always does really well at them, and makes alot more money than she does at MTTs (which she prefers), and I've got her into playing the hypers now lol. She's won 5 out of 7 so far, which is alot better than my winrate at the mo.
We were thinking about doing a BR type challenge like Hoggers and Don did and I think hypers are a perfect way to get a fair competition. So there may be a thread coming soon where me and Emma go head to head on who can do best at Hypers.

During my session on Saturday, I had twitter open and saw someone post up a link to his staking spreadsheet, where he was selling action for a series of tournaments on PS for yesterday.
I've never done any proper staking before, but I love to watch poker and don't much like playing it (especially MTT poker) so I decided to have $50 worth, which got me 3%.....
Was watching on and off yest, inbetween football & IPL etc, it's basically buying into tournys and having someone better, more talented, experienced, and alot more patient than me play poker for me! ha.
Deffo something I'll look to do again.
Anyway it wasn't going that well, until the big SM on *'s, when I went to bed he was about 350th/600 left from a field of 7.5k. 1k places paid.
I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.
Anyway woke up and remembered, checked the result and he got 88th for 1.5k, having been 30th w/120 left, and $220,000 ftw!!!
Sighhhhh, so close
Maybe that's why I sub-consciously woke myself up so early? I dunno.
Made a profit on it and had a few chances of a really big ROI. Next time!
-----------------------------------------
My sit n doh week has been abit rubbish, nothing major just a couple of -$100 sessions. But overall I'm only about 25 quid down due to some cash binkage.
Despite losing a £280 pot to WATERTAXI with A7 on K7xxK, where he bet £100 in to 80 on the river, and I snap called with A7 in a 3b pot.
I'm sure some of you will enjoy that!
I'm gonna try and play today, mainly because I'm frustrated at how things have been going and I want to post a winning session asap. This will be 3 sessions in 5 days, and wont be doing my body any good, but needs must!
----------------------------------------
How good are the HU shuffles btw? I've built huge stacks in 3 of the 6 real money ones I've played.
They're like the perfect tournament, over within 75/80 minutes, soft as poo, and full of action.
I will win one today !!!!
If there are any random readers of this diary out there, please give these a shot, would hate to see them scrapped due to a lack of intrest!
This is why I can't play cash above 30nl, I level myself so much.
I can't grind like those high volume cash guys, I'm all or nothing, hero or zero.
NORMALLY ZERO!
Ofc Watertaxi hand 1 influenced the call in Watertaxi hand 2. I justified it by saying "well he had air the first time". Obv totally different board/action though.
I've just reached the 1000 game mark for the month. My graph seems to be going in the right direction again after 100's of games without going anywhere really.
Also going to post a few miscellaneous stats from the 1000 games...
In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" : Ah ok, I'm playing the £1.05s at the mo, so be a little while before I start bumping into you. Do you think £60 is enough to play £2.10 hypers? How low would you go before dropping down? And likewise for £3.15s? I'm guessing the quality of players is the same at £1 as it is at £3?? If you've played £1 games that is Posted by Lambert180
Yeh i'd give the £2.10s ago with £60, maybe give you yourself 10 BI's and if you drop to £40 then drop to £1.05s.
It's probably not the best BR advice in the world, but thats what I'd do.
There aren't any £2.10 hypers for some reason so i guess it'll have to be turbos, if you decide to play em.
It's pretty much the same player base. A lot of the people i play at £3.15s i see regged for £1.05s too.
Despite playing 3 of the last 5 days, and playing quite alot (for me) in April, I've still only got 4.2k points!
It just doesn't seem to go up.
fuuuuuuu rakeback.
I don't think there's any chance of me playing tomorrow, early signs are that this hangover is gonna be very unpleasent, so I need to give the body a rest.
It should mean I get to play the Thursday night BH though, which is now the fastest MTT on sky, after they turned the velocities into deepstacks.
I've been playing a few HU hypers mostly £10. Enjoying them - but so swingy, some days win like 9/10 and others cant win a flip or even a 60:40 to save my life.
So tilting when it seems like a weak opponent consciously takes the wrong end of a 60:40 shot as they realise this maybe their best chance to win.
Anyway, was wondering if you have a spare moment could you pull out my HU sng graph from sharkscope. dont mind if you post it here. Would like to know my roi in these, I think i'm close to break even - so probably losing !
I'm still using the free searches, though i'll need to look at this if i continue playing these.

Nice result last night, Si. Think you were about the only person to beat me in a showdown all night.

Congratulations on your win. I was a bit disappointed that i bled a few chips after i coolered your (i think) QQ with AA , then tried floating oop which didnt work, plus went card dead at crucial time.

Yea no problem.....
You want your all time HU graph? Or just a period of time which will be all hypers? or both?......last xxx days/weeks? last xxx games? Let me know exactly what you want and I'll post them up now.
@Lambo, yeh I can look at the hands, I've got jme on the laptop now, or if you want to post them all in a thread maybe in A51, then I can look closer/longer, then delete the thread after. either is fine......
