Bit Dissapointed the way i went out in 170th or close to that. I was happy the way i was playing then disaster strikes guy double my stack raises pre i call in position flop gives me 2 overs and flush draw, guy shoves with no raising going on i call his blooming 7's hold

ul golds. I've seen the hand and dnt think you did much wrong.
I reckon you'll be a big winner on the site before long!
Watched a fair few of your games today dohhh, not a bad ROI lol been on a bit of a heater myself since i started playing again last week but back to reality again today has been a long grind - what do you think of the difference between 5s and 10s turbo wise? come across many regs at that level on turbos?

Very little.
I haven't seem any regs @ 10s, rarely play a winning player.
Dunno if anyone is still (or ever was) interested, but I've just got my skope up to $20k profit, and hit the target I set myself on October 1st. http://imageshack.us/f/31/0kp3.jpg/ Really pleased with how I played tonight, I've never felt this good about my game before, hope the hard work continues to pay off. There may be some mileage in the staking thing I tentatively mentioned in an earlier post too. GL all playing tonight! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Sick graph!! Just wondering why you don't play higher since you must have a pretty decent BR by now? I'm almost tempted to give HU sng's a go.. My HU game was once quite strong but not played it in a while so it's probaby not as good as it used to be! I also used to be horrible at shallow stack poker but think I've improved somewhat now at that!!
Atm I'm really not sure where my main game lies. Kinda fallen out of love with NL holdem cash atm and only playing PLO cash games and tournaments. Not binked a major tournament yet but had a lot of progress over the past couple months!

mtts are a funny creature. As perfect as you can play you might not still can win, obviously it helps.
I'm sure a "major" victory won't be far away.
Although i guess it also depends on what you class as major.

Congrats mate, whats the next target as your diary is always an interesting read.
$20k! Sounds good. I like to look at any profits in $ as well. Losses I always change to £ before I search Seriously, well done, it's a real achievement. I just skoped you as well. Did you know that you were the 19th best player on Sky in 2011? Posted by Jac35
I lol'd
Yes, but that's not as good as it sounds.
The site was very new and there were only 22 hu SNG players on the site back then.
2 had blocked their stats on skope to avoid scaring fish, and the other was Greghogg.
Thanx, I think I'm about a grand ($$$ fake money) away from being the 19th best again this year, could be another mini target!
In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" : fantastic stuff, dohhhhhhh. what was the big bink early doors? Posted by TeddyBloat
Thanks Teddy.
The early bink was my 1 and only MTT success on here.
Dunno if you were around back then but there used to be a poker 'league' on here where the top 150 cash/sng/mtt players each month were invited into a monthly freeroll where the top 20 players won a £220 seat into a monthly 'doublestack' thing. Similar to the rollers now.
I managed to freeroll in and finish 2nd for £2.2k.
I remember the mtt very well, I cracked AA with AKs all in pre flop with around 25 left (from 60 runners).
I also won 99 v QQ aipf when I was all in and called approaching the bubble.
I bust TK on the final table JJ /> ATo.
Don't remember the HU. Selective memory
Hows your HU going, have you moved up stakes yet? What times do you normally play?
Funny enuf, I watched a few of your "HU Hyper Whoosh" games and altho it went way over my head....I gotta say you crushed! Posted by Glenelg
Cheers Pad, you mean last night?
I did run pretty well, the amount of Kx 'get theres' I did against Ax was insane.
Also felt I played really well too to get 'ahead of the game' early.
I got to 1.5k v 500 a lot going into the higher blinds, takes a lot of pressure off the first 'flip' when the worst case scenario is I end up back @ 1k v 1k if I lose!
Doesn't always happen like that though, sometimes I can't win a hand and end up having to shove for my life!

Thanks Ivan.
I've tried and failed many times to move up stakes. Both @ cash and sngs.
Everytime it's gone wrong.
I'll attach a graph of all my HU sngs above £21 buy in. It's very grim.
I just blow up mentally everytime I go for it, so I just stopped going for it!
Might try again soon though
I remember watching you play HU v coxylboro back in the day, 2/3 tables of around 200nl HU? Was great viewing. There were some other ongoing HU 'reg battles' back then too, they don't seem to happen anymore.

Ta Steve. Not sure whats next, I only intended to bring the diary back for a month during November to try and hit my target. Fell abit short and wanted to get there so just continued for a few more sessions.
No idea what next, probably keep grinding bits of everything as usual.
I play MTTs on other sites but I haven't got anywhere in any of those for ages, which is normal but annoying/boring.
Meh dunno, any ideas?
Having today off, spose I'll log on tomorrow and just play whatever I feel like playing.
Up for another best of 5 tomorrow/Sunday afternoon?
Haha thats a class binkage. And you remember knocking out TK more than missing out on first place, gg
lol.
Been using hu profits to add to the prize pools of mtts, which I really stink at but am trying to improve on. I tend to play hu if I have a morning off. Ive forayed into 2s and 3s but I have confidence issues tbh. Moneys tight in real life so any negative variance or spew sends me scurrying back to what I see as my percieved level. Rewards payment today will put my br over a numerical milestone for the first time so going to really try to force myself to take a sustained shot.

Yeah sure Sunday afternoon is best for me just post on here when your on. Also do you take part in many of the main events here?
In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" : Tomorrow afternoon golds? Between 3pm and 6pm? In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" : I know jacko! It was my turn to be paranoid I've always said if I were to play MTTs as my main game, there's no way I'd play here. Outside of the mians and maybe 1 or 2 others per night there isn't much there. Do younotplayelsewhere? I've been saying to Donald lately he should find a low variance 'grind game' to fund the MTTs, or at least partly fund them to make downswings less severe. You have 1 in place already tht you know you can beat so why not combine the 2? btw, who was the 'interesting pick' ?? Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Not right now, no. Happy playing on Sky and live as well.
Back in the day, I bonus whored my way round all the skins on Crypto. I loved Crypto.
Even when the welcome bonuses were out of the way the Rakeback was ridiculous.
I used to get 30% Rakeback from an affiliate on InterPoker and then the site itself had a choose your own bonus scheme.
It was something like, let's say, get 1000 points get a 50 quid, 2000 points get 150, 3000 points get 300. So you could choose your bonus based on how much you played. If I went for the 3000 points and got 2999, I received nothing.
It was a different time. Just breaking even and you could easily make 500+ a month without putting in huge volume.
Every site had a sponsored pro. If you had won a £5 rebuy in your local casino you stood a decent chance of getting a deal.
Up until Black Friday, I played in Full Tilt for a year or so under the alias Igor Stimac. Think I made a few bob.
Loved it over there. I was a right plonker tho, I had like 3/4 different accounts. I had no idea multi accounting was wrong, was very naïve, so I wasn't cheating intentionally.
Tried making an account as a woman once thinking it'd give me an edge (yes, I was that daft).
Got my login name and my alias mixed up though so ended up logging in as Emily and playing as John.
wp me.
-------------------------------------------
Decent Friday for me yesterday, I won a French MTT for the first time in ages.
Had to win 6 games to take it down, for €200 plus 9.50 per head, so a decent score.
The final was worth €100, so I asked the guy to chop before playing the first hand.
He said no.
Next hand I got AA v his TT and it was all over
Still can't get deep in the 'proper' mtts.
Sunday tomorrow though so that might change.
But probably wont.
Small HU session last night on sky ended +$45. Lost the last 2 £21 games against a weaker opponent who just seemed to crush me, so much so I declined his action and called it a night.
