Why don't you just give the money to the community and we can test your theories for you )
Send me £100 and I'll let you know If I win or lose !!!
Your jobs are way too EZ, why can't we get a job like that ?
Seriously, as long as you can remember the action on the street before on each table for the hand your in then your ok.
If it all starts to get a bit like "did he raise pre or did I" then your playing too many tables
You should imo play more tables of a level you can beat, and add on levels you are trying to beat as they require more concentration. So spread across 3-4 tables, 3x10NL & 1x50NL for example
I should point out that neither James or I keep any profits made on the cash tables- so ultimately this is money put up by Sky which eventually makes it's way back into the players pockets when the presenters have a losing session.
Quick Question: Are we going to see hands played on Master Cash tables on a special section of the show? Is their a forfeit for James when you beat him?
Well that session went swimmingly...right up until the point where I lost it all!
Started with £100 and over the course of the next hour built it up nicely to £160. Then THIS happened...

Yup, it's one thing having a flush draw going all-in on you- fair enough, you might argue, but for them to get their with runner-runner for the straight? Harsh.
Did I do anything wrong here? Or was I destined to go broke?
I'd appreciate any constructive criticism.
Other thoughts- it's very pleasant playing in the morning, quite relaxed and easy going. Plus it guarantees you're not tired or under the influence...unless you've been up all night and/or you're an alcoholic!
There was plenty of action on the tables and I was joined for my session by Sky Poker legend Gliterbabe too.
Thumbs up all round...apart from the last bit :-( ;-)

I think if our hands from the Mastercash tables are shown they'll be on their own dedcated show rather than in the live broadcasts.
We'll let you know if a decision is made on that.
As for James' forfeit- yes, he has to watch the Transformers trilogy back-to-back if he loses. He'll hate that!

No criticism.
You could have made a bigger raise pre flop! Then Style may have folded, but to reap maximum reward from the hand you want your opponents to call. Having railed your table. £3 was a cute raise which in no way gave away your Aces. But was never going to get rid of the big stack who at the time was on a roll.
After the flop. When you realised you were heads up with the big stack. You could have checked to gain pot control. Then when the turn arrived you may have had the chance to escape.
But I think the money was going in whatever! You fell in love with aces on the flop then the small stack variance phenomenon hit you in the cruellest manner.
I'm sure you questioned when to leave a cash table recently. if you'd set a goal of achieving a 50% return on your investment you'd have been up and gone with a tidy profit. Just like Wednesday when you played shortstacks at a higher level! Achieved £100 profit then gave it away!
I think you've proven you've got the game! You just need to work on pot control and the prudent time to leave a table. Take up Paul Jackson's offer of coaching! Then Vegas watch out! lol
Right- Sunday evening- peaktime in online poker! I'm on Sands 50p/£1 with the max 100 BBs- £100 and I'm going to see if I can play sensibly and double up on the table.
As soon as I've done that I'm getting up and leaving. Ditto for if I go broke.
I started at 7.43pm. It'll be interesting to see how quickly one of those events will take me!
And mission accomplished at 8.27pm! 34 minutes it took all told.
Must do this with my own money at some point!!!!
The double-up came courtesy of an extraordinarily big hand, but frankly I felt confident that I would've ground my way over the line over the next 30 minutes or so as long as I didn't fall foul of any coolers.
Felt confident- and played well because I set myself a clear, realistic target and didn't waiver. A lesson for us all? Including me? Lol!
Cheers to the railers and I'll leave you with the rather nice hand that took me over the £200 mark...
Suffice to say, we finally got a game going when 50nl regs like hurst05 and TommyD arrived at the table. Sadly, they're a bit too good for me!
Also, I was dealt a pretty poor run of hands during my 90 minute session (only one pocket pair and J5o about 28 times). But that didn't stop me splashing around. Sigh. I think it's fair to say I'm not on my A-game when I'm only playing one table: I get bored, lose focus (partly due to the chat box) and end up playing too many sub-standard and marginal hands.
So, you won't be surprised to hear it was a losing session. I dropped nearly a third of my stack (£30.23 to be precise). But I now have a brand new c-note to take to the 50nl tables.
But this time, I'm spreading it across TWO tables...
In Response to Re: Join James & Rich on...THE CASH CRUSADE! : Good start- made the double-up again from £100 to £200 inside an hour then left the table. Gonna have another pop at that feat now! On Mastercash 8! 25p/50p Posted by RicOrford
