Cheers all. Good game Jonny, must've been an honour for you as a United fan to share a final able with SirFergie! & thanx to Alan, Geldy and some others for sticking around to rail. (memory is abit blurry) It's a shame I couldn't run good for 5 or 10 minutes longer in the main too Apparently the FT was shown on the show, if anyone knows when it's repeated can you let me know plz. Have had a look in the TV section of the forum but it doesn't appear to be on today, and there's no listings for tomorrow onwards. Good luck all playing today. Posted by DOHHHHHHH

4pm:
Turbo Tuesday - with James Hartigan and Jen Mason (rpt 26/11/13)

And thanx for the congrats Henrik
------------------------------------------------
Haven't updated as much this month as I did last, so as it's the end of the month, and tomorrow will mostly be spent donking around and donating to the bookies rather than grinding, I'll put up a quick month summary.
I don't keep track of my results, don't use spreadsheets or anything, so I don't know for sure but Nov was probably 1 of my best months so far this year.
Results from the 3 main sites I play on are shown in the link below, along with my monthly sky graph.
Might be too small to read, but combined profit over 3 sites is around $2.4k
The HU sngs continued to go well on here, holding down a 16% roi over a 220 game sample @ £15 avg stake.
I did plan to go back playing HU abroad, which I did abit, but I wanted to finish my October target, and things were going so well it seemed daft to change.
Obviously the stats are made to look a lot more flattering with the mini 'bink'. It does help boost the numbers winning a sizeable mtt as opposed to grinding effectively 2 player dyms.
----------------
December will be much of the same.
I do have 1 small target left that I want to achieve before the end of the year.
It's only a small/ego thing, but I'd like to finish on the top30 of the leaderboard for sngs in 2013.
I started the year playing them, took some shots which went terribly, so I 'gave them up' when around $650 down, until I started the October challenge.
Things went much better than I could ever imagine, and I'm within touching distance of my old HU sng nemesis 'ellison' in 30th place. (I'm sure they used to only award stars to top 20?)
He's just under +$2k for the year, I'm around +$1.6k, so I'm going to try and chase him down.
Not really a big deal, but something to aim for I guess.
Updates will probably be sparce again, unless something unusual happens. Blogging about HU sngs isn't the most exciting thing for people to read.
As ever thanks for reading & contributing to the thread throughout Nov!
Hope you all had a good month @ the tables, if not, still time to turn it around!
Geldy Owns everyone.....it's in the terms of his TPT Contract Good luck with your SnG challenge Dohhhhhhhh, i'm sure you can do it. Posted by POKERTREV
I take my contractual obligations very seriously captain
I'm sure you don't need my advice but the size of the 5 bet took all my options away, if I continue against that sizing I can only ever be ahead or flipping against jakcks.
Smaller 5bet allows me to bluff 6bet, which you know I often can't resist doing, especially in a button v bb levelling war!
-----------
Trevlaaaaa, you might be on to something with the TPT thing.
Geldy the other night on cash, Waller tried some 30nl a few months back and owned me every hand, I can only ever remember 1 significant hand v Jac, and he stacked me, Kerrnal is my nemesis in turbo/speed MTTs, K8lou always has 1 better than me, & as you know I've always struggled against yourself over the years!
Haven't even played the phenom that is Mactrad yet !!!
Thanks I had my reasons for the bet size if only I could remember what they were range balancing perhaps or playing too many tables and needing to do something quick

Lol Dohhhh
You remember that? Must have been at least 6 months ago.
Glad it's not just me then. Amazing how poker players can recall hands from years ago. Winning or losing hands.
I could tell you the betting through the streets pretty accurately of my biggest cash hand ever, about 3 years ago.
I could also tell you how I let someone get there and bluff/shoved the river for my biggest losing cash hand. He snapped about 2 years ago.
Donny going to stay up? Easy game for you today!
England to win the ashes?
Derby to go up?
If I knew how to place bets or accumulators? I might have a go on that one. Sure it would be a decent price.

Thanx again all
Decided to get greedy and remind myself how I bust the main.
Think it's standard, although the mystery ICM thing might mean it isn't with 10 left, pay jumps, shallow average etc.
Sigh.
Thought a mini win and a 6th/5th in the main would be about 50/75 quid. haha.
Wish I hadn't seen that.
Maybe if I'd already had the mini won I nit fold the KTs and try to ladder.
Think there were about 20 left in the mini when I bust the main though and I was midfield.
Nevermind.

gl all playing over't'weekend !
don't know who they were trying to protect: you, me, Tikay or the viewers
so here it is - my first ever bluff on skypoker*
just so used to seeing you do this to others just wondered if you were up for a taste of your own medicine
You were drawing dead to a chop
I fancied calling, but wouldn't have enjoyed the inevitable chunky river bet to follow!
Good luck with your SnG challenge Dohhhhhhhh, i'm sure you can do it.
amusingly
