No!
At the risk of this turning in to 'guess the alias', I have no idea who you're thinking of!
Unless u think it's you? Amnesiaments.
I read you're concentrating on mtts nowardays?
Really is criminal if that's the case and you still don't have an .fr account, esp if you play early doors/afternoons. They're ideal, soft, not too big (runners), varying buyins and formats (rebuys/turbos/freezeouts/6max/fullring).
There's zillions of fish already, so I dnt really need to go recruiting. But 1 more wont hurt.

Yes its MTTs mainly, my cash skills have gone downhill since the likes of lambert have stepped up and I keep on trying to stack him with two jokers!
This is an example of sky pokers incompetence, they run loads of £50 gtee bh's which are basically 10-12 max sngs, everyone of these either hits or exceeds the gtee. So you cant say they are losing any money. Well with effect from this morning they reduce the gtee to £30! why why why! You mentioned the rake being insane, as long as my roi stays at its current levels its not a prob.
Then this evening, the only speed rebuy available that normally attracts 90-110 runners, they have reduced the gtee from £400 down to £300. I will take a look at pokerstars fr but I have just over two weeks off now to prepare for exams, so I am not sure its a good idea to sign up to a new poker site when the afternoon schedule on sky is soo bad I would rather study! Definitely one for the future. I have no loyalty to sky I am afraid, they cant even say they are unique with currency offering as most other sites can operate in £ and have tables in £.
This is ytd stats which are much improved on prev years, I seriously needed to improve and now I have a poker buddy who is an ex pro, its really helped as the stats show.
Ok JJ finally done the pokerstars fr thing, im getting peeved with sky and its time to take a look at other sites. I see there are some juicy rebuys in the morning, luvly jubbly!
Sky have hacked me off no end recently, the final straw being the 6:30pm rebuy gtee being reduced to £300, result even less players bothering. Why dont sky use their initiative and run a £500 or £1000 gtee rebuy every night as a micro with £2 entry, start it at the same time as the mini.
I will play sky as my main site but from now on, I am no longer a 1 site player.

Sky for cash 100%.
MTTs with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 here, you're way better off elsewhere.
The rake on .fr is bad, don't use it for any kind of sng or cash game, you'll get rinced.
The MTT rake is high, but that's not a big deal. They also rake rebuys, but whatever, what's an extra 20cents when you're shooting @ 1k.
When you get it sorted re-add me on skype and I'll join the same MTT schedule. See how we do against eachother! It's good motivation.
I will keep the comedy racist comments to a minimum, although with some of the beats you'll recieve from the Frogs & your inclination to go crackers in the chatbox, It will be tough for you to do the same! Esp given the nature of MTTs.
I normally enter 7 or 8 between 10.30am and 2pm, for a total of like 35-40e, see them out then look at moving over to Sky cash around 5ish (or hopefully later if I'm deep!).
It hasn't been going too well recently, after going through a period of winning a 250e+ prize every week for 6 weeks things have slowed down and the graph is dipping!
Nothing to do with the standard though, it's still P poor.
Big day in the prem today, you'll have to overcome your la-di-da hatred of Stoke and hope they beat Spurs.
In an ideal scenario, Stoke win today, Wigan beat Arsenal, Arsenal win the last game of the season, and Wigan beat Villa to survive.
So I'm hoping for a strong Friday/Sunday double session back at 30nl (sigh). Looking to make 20 buyins at 30nl, in a donkeyfest, on a sports bet (pffft) or a combo of the 3 before going in with 20bi for 50nl. If this weekend goes really well, It might be early next week! More realistically, next weekend though. Run gud all this w/e! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Nearly there!
Been a good weekend, Friday I took down a small 2e turbo rebuy on .fr for 120 euros, and backed it up with a +£140 cash session on sky 30nl.
Today I took down the 20e hyper turbo HU mtt on .fr winning 6 consecuative games for 230e plus 10e per game and my own head prize, so a 310e score there!
Played 1 game on sky, the £2r turbo, and finished 3rd for £45, was £120 ftw, had a 350k /> 140k > 60k chip lead 3 handed, how did I finish 3rd from there? I'm pretty special right
1 more good session/bink and we could be starting 50nl properly by the back end of this week!
Really excited about it. I probably should have done this 2 years ago, but better late than never! Hope it goes well
Really nice results! Well done. End of the week or sooner! Posted by LARSON7
Cheers Henrik, hopefully start diarying it with bankroll updates next Thursday. Or if Tuesday doesn't go great, maybe next Saturday. Hopefully no later though.
Id like to ask how you are currently getting on and what you are currently playing Posted by The_Don90
+1 - also thoughts on Paul Dickov? interesting appointment considering he hardly did alot at oldham to warrant being given the job of a championship club.
Really not alot to report, or I would have been posting
Think I wrote somewhere on the forum around the 11th of this month that I had 2,000 points, and if I were to keep up that volume for the latter 2 thirds of the month I'd have hit a record 6k points.
Currently have 2,300.
So that should give you an idea of how much it's slowed down.
Most of my volume has been on .fr.
I was on a 600e downswing until recently but a few decent scores have repaired the damage.
fwiw after the initial 200 games or so, that graph is 100% MTTs.
It looks like an mtt graph should look, with sizeable spikes broken up by downward swings, as obviously you can't crush every mtt and you're going to go through periods where you just brick every mtt.
Totally different to my sky graph, where over a sample of around 2,500 mtts (mtt only graph) there are only maybe 1 or 2 noticeable spikes, and not really any downswings.
Spose it says alot about the field sizes (lower variance) and also about the standard/how easily crushable they are.
I played some over on sky on Tuesday, won the velocity for £80ish, 3rd in the £2 rebuy that starts around 6ish for £50ish. Also won that comp late last week.
Had stacks in the main and mini too, turbo night is ace. Didn't flip very well though. Lost 2 big flips in each (probably the only 4 flips I lost anywhere all night).
I'm currently looking to buy a new PC tower to go with the monitor I already have. My rough specifications that I'm after are in another forum thread linked here....
Any help really would be appreciated. Think people have started getting annoyed with me on the thread so wont post there anymore but if any1 can help me by linking a PC it wud be awesome. Cheers.
Would have preferred Warnock but that was never going to happen. None of the genuine candidates really got me excited tbh, I like Dickovs style, his man management and motivational skills should help in a relegation fight.
We were never going to outplay teams with the squad we have, so until some rich Arab guy buys our club and invests 300m in the squad, I'm happy with a 'battler' at the helm.
A simple no comment would have sufficed but your answer made me laugh. God you are running well lately I see. I've had a break recently and just playing deep stacks for fun really to get a feel for the game again and some enjoyment. Played a couple of BH's the other night which tilted me with some of the play I saw. I'd even cashed but not realised because it really was like watching paint dry pre flop but a massive pub fight post flop. Sheer madness at times! Fun if you run good I suppose but lacking real poker considerations in my opinion. All the best fella
Ps six week cruise and Singapore was great, Petra probably the highlight!!
In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" : Is this an English question where I have to interpret wether the comment is about me, or tkp? Or are they 3 individual questions/comments aimed at me? Confused! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
try parsing it using a skypoker context
but to make it easier for you i will give some hints:
you are a member of a team
you don't refer to your team much in your comments
you do not post much on your teams thread
you have made comments critical of the increasing size of teams in the past
and i was wondering what was the common theme linking these facts.
could it be that:
you disagree with the team concept in general
or the current team setup
or your team in particular
or you prefer to be a discrete teamplayer
or ydgas
etc
etc
thought you might have an interesting angle on this, as you do on most things
but maybe i was mistaken
must have been another DOHHHHHHHH i was thinking of

Ar/s win me £50, and Wigan stay up.
Also the most exciting way to win the bet!
