I might try this the dym way tbh and play everything from 22 up see what that can get me. I got a little catching to do as took the 1st off and played yesterday getting 2.3 points. I think i could do this if i gave it my all and seems a nice challange to start the year.
I best be aiming for 2400 ish a day as i need wed nights off for pool and the spt weekend ahead.
Another day of running bad... Although managed to almost break even in DYM's.
Went out from main event AK<A3 to a flash and from £4k Bounty Hunter JJ<KTo with J on the flop to a runner runner flash... Definitely time for a break..
just had another 2 hour session. had 10 tables up. ran well but lost some big pots too. was really surprised by the + figure for the day....in a good way
gonna just chill for a bit. 1 table this 4k BH badboy then back on the grind for 10.30/11
scotty?? quick question.. iv qualified for the £100 roller.. do you know if i still get the c4p for this game although i qualified for free?? if so it will help immensely to my target!! ps any tips for an occasional £5 stt player playing the Thursday roller?? Posted by bigflop1
I think you will get the 100 points, I can't see why not as the system should still 'think' that you ahve paid the 10 pounds rake. but yeah GL Posted by scotty77
Yes, you will still get the usual amount of C4P (100) for entering. Gl
In Response to Re: January Cash 4 Points thread..... : made money too somehow might also give it a lickle tickle at the 11pm happy hour if i'm still awake, I haven't been to bed since yesterday. all night grinds ftw. Posted by beaneh
All right4those who don't have to grind the 9-5! Ah, one day...
10k in 3 days is still a sick mind-melt though.
Just a small session4me today, cream crackered from New yr's cold and going back2wrk.
Back to earth with a small bump after yesterday's riches, made a £33 loss.
Played bad that session. Tilted a tad. Was about break even until just the end when I flopped the nuts v 2pr and lead/called flop and ofc he house up turn and I didn't fold when it was obv what he had.
Oh well tbh when I was closing the tables I thought it would be worse whe it was only a BI down.
Feeling pretty tired dunno if I will play again tongiht.
Scotty's right, burn out could be an issue...... think I hit 'the wall' about mid-afternoon on the 2nd!!
To be honest, for the first time, this feels like a proper job,
I've been pretty relaxed about volume & playing hours over the last 18 months, but all of a sudden I am constantly thinking about how I can deal with real life stuff in the shortest possible timeframe.
Getting the kids a Mcdonalds, as it was quicker than cooking them a meal, is probably not something to be proud of, but balanced against the negatives, are the valuable lessons they are learning in time-management!!
Ended today at 7152 C4P, and a decent profit on the day, so all's good.
Was pretty dissapointed with how I played yesterday (although being out of position to LOL_Raise and Beaneh on 5 tables didn't help), but played much better today.
Last hour or so had a few ugly spots which I didn't play great, but overall a lot happier.
It's pretty amazing to see a long list of full £0.50/£1 tables in the lobby, plus plenty of £1/£2's & £1.50/£3's.
Not sure what the long term impact is (rake races have the potential to scare away casual players as tables are almost all reg-fests), but in the short term, Sky must be very pleased.

The 'regs' don't do enough to make it easy for casual players. There are a few regs (but 1 in particular), who are considered to be some of the best on Sky...they sit on empty 6 max tables trying to start them. I sit and they tank sit out not realising that casual players looking for a 6 max game don't like playing HU but don't mind playing 3/4 handed...
Even tho I don't play HU, I will play pretty much anyone to get these tables started. Its good for the site and good for the games but they don't realise they only care about how much they might win/lose in the 5 mins it takes for seats to fil
I just played one last session. Happy with how I played. Steady profit. Made one big error but w/e. Just below the target i set but 2.5kish points for the day is okish I suppose. Made a decent profit on the day too Want to get on tomorrow for a 4k+ grind
Played a few bits last night. Had a winning nl300 session (although I was sick lucky in one big pot), managed to cash in all of my DYMs and cashed in the main & mini. Slowly climbing out of my starting hole.
Not sure which route to take for the C4P. Might go the DYM route like Nutter (this always got me 10k points before) or stay with the cash grind. Think I might do as Scotty suggests and try to start more tables to help the casual players out. Judging by the waiting list I got for my table yesterday they won't take more than a moment to fill
Personally I dont mind opening tables and playing hu or short handed. What infuriates me is players who short stack with a view to doubling up and running. I know two such plapyers nl40and deliberately sit out.
Feel very bright after a good nights kip and will be on the tables for a 5 hour session later. Aiming for 900points today. Scotty your points are like the runs and myne the wickets!

so much truth in this, its so dumb how they dont understand that 15mins where say if they are -5bb/100 HU and you play 25hands they will on average lose 1.25bbs but have a good chance of a recreational player joining the table. to be fair i had one reg who normally doesnt start 2x deep tables with me yesterday for 10-15mins. one of the games managed to fill up very quickly
