Pretty annoying session. Was ended 200 down which was ok considering how badly I ran during the first 45 mins. Tables started dying after happy hour so am taking a break for a bit. Very annoying how regs are acting at the minute tho. I'm having to play LOL_Rasie to start tables, while they sit on the sidelines for a random/poor player to join and then they all snap sit like vultures. Its really bad for the games that they act like that and how they are unwilling/unable to start tables and they should look at their behaviour for the good of the games but w/e.

Not really sure about the comment regarding behaviour, Anyone with any savy will play and act according to what benifits themselves, I can honestly say I would be very surprised if anyone had any sympathy for your plight. You fail to realise, The good of the game does not= The good of (lets say) Me. Be the hero who starts tables with quality players, I dont think its fair to expect people to join you in your folly. If you want to play 20 tables its you who has to start them.... Simples
in all the chat about how "nice" everybody is on sky the site has now developed to a stage like most other bigger sites that competent regs wont play eachother
happens everywere else not sure why anybody is surprised it happens here
starting new tables can only be beneficial. cause 90% of the time it fills with 5 randoms/recreationals/fish/beaneh. and you can sit in a good value game whilst the rest of em try to set over set each other on the others.

Been starting a few tables myself and only a couple of times has a reg sat and snap sat out. Not sure what that says about me TBH.
Today was a losing day - first one since last Monday.
Would have booked a small win, but lost a £1k pot to Julian during the last 10 minutes of the day (probably wasn't going to be my last 10 minutes, but the evil Thew crushed my spirit, as well as my bankroll).
Should have folded the river, but it's tougher right at the end of a session.
I think Scotty mentioned, a few days ago, that he thought the middle section of this would be the hardest - and I thinks that's a fair assessment.
Starting something isn't too difficult - the fact something is new makes it interesting, and for the first few days, the points difference one day to the next seems significant.
The end bit, will, hopefully be like freewheeling downhill. End in sight, points required decreasing to a manageable amount each day etc....
The middle section (i.e. right now), doesn't have any of those benifits - long way from the start, miles from the finish.
I think the next week or so will offer up the strongest urges to cut sessions short, find other things to do etc....
Obviously shouldn't be that difficult to knuckle down and get on with it, but most poker players are naturally lazy types anyway (hence why we play poker, instead of something more energetic!).
Better day for me today. Slowly digging my way out of the first week hole. Decided just to one table cash today to get my stuff back together as the previous sessions had been a cocktail of donking cash off, a splash of spew and a sprinkle of binked all mixed together in a fancy play syndrome glass. Tightened the right bits today and had a nice cash session, couple of min cashes in some tournies to add to the BR as well. Slowly coming back to the right direction.
My C4P score is now 4.6k. Going nicely towards my target.
was going ok, in that it was a pretty average day and I was only down a tad
then sit back down for the midnight grind and super explode with tilt. just people getting kings every hand its so ridic started jamming all in like a clown for 3/5 mins
Had a great evening tonight, one tabled 8nl made a small profit. I see Scotty77 talking about some hands so here is one interesting hand from my session.
I limped utg with J2s to see a cheap flop but the button raised it to five times the big blind. I thought this was expensive but, you know if I hit a big flop then I get all his chips plus I can always hit a flush! So I called and the flop was K 2 2 and I thought BINGO. So I check to induce and he bets, I decide to min raise as I think this is the best way to hide the strength of my hand. He then re raises, so I min raise once more hoping that he just has AK and goes allin and that I havn't turned my hand completely face up. The money quickly got in the middle but he had Kings, I mean how unfair is that, can you imagine my disappointment! I had trips! but hey ho that's poker!
I took Saturday off after saying I was giving up on the 60k challenge and played again sunday with more enthusiasm but managed to lose again. However today i've played about 9 hours, won a weeks worth of losses back and a bit more mostly from the 2.5/5 game and got up to 20,089pts.
Unlucky there Pryce keep your head up mate! Posted by sam1986
Thank you so much Sam. It really shows what a great site this is and what a wonderful community we have when one of the high stakes pros like yourself takes the time out to reply.
GL all, hope Sky have to splash out on 5 or 6 packages for you all
My week last week started really well, made a good profit, but my 2nd session on Saturday followed by a poor day on Sunday saw most of my profits disapear. Still had a nice cashout for a part time player though.
I won a free £110 seat from the Stars tourney on Sunday and used it last night where I got a bounty (Should of had Sam's as well but he runs like god!) Was still a nice free £50.
Day was a tale of two sessions, first one down three buyins at one stage, pocket ks on a dry board vs a set, flopped set vs flopped str8, it wasnt looking good.
Then the evening happy hour pulled it all back and a small profit, then just played hu at nl30 for another small profit. So up for the day and another 600 points banked.
Cash for points now : 5818
On target for 18k, would love more than 20k but thats gonna mean some 12 hour plus days. I cant play any more than 4 tables even on mini view because of resolution restrictions, although I feel ready to move up to 6.
I'm really starting to lose the enthusiasm for this!!! Jakally really did sum it up in an early post...Long way from the start line yet miles away from the finish...Fear not boys once you hit 40k it will be plain sailing. Never felt this bad when I hit 69k one month but it doesn't help when you run like a 2 legged donkey......
21k and fading fast and in desperate need of that 24" monitor ( hope it's dell with a white back ), just cracked 1 of mine after KK being busted for like the 24th/28.....
Would really like to have this locked up in the next 12 days or so....Fed up with it already

Anyway after all of that my C4P is now on 17.
