In Response to Re: Lambert180 - A Journey Through Cash Games : I don't seem to be able to find you. Maybe you can find me .... Lambert180 And yeah I'm up for £2.10 HU games, best of 5. I'm off to bed in a minute, so can't do it now, but I'm free pretty much every evening (except tomorrow night cos I'm playing a live game tomorrow). Posted by Lambert180
I have you on facebook so we could chat from there to arrange the games.
No worries from tomorrow. We can arrange to do both sessions some time in the weekend if you can make it. Obviously not Saturday evening/night cause it's the CHL final.
Best of 5 then.Can't wait to remember how to play chess.
In Response to Re: Lambert180 - A Journey Through Cash Games : Ahh grats on the cash. How does it feel to have your own Hendon page? How many tables of 10nl are you playing? Which format do you enjoy the most, stts, hu sngs or cash? I play chess too, would be cool to play you sometime. Posted by patwalshh
Yeah it felt great to get myself a hendon mob page. I went out 12th in the end, bit annoyed I didn't FT and get a nice sky trophy for final tabling cos there were loads of shorties but I was going for the win once I'd cashed. I generally play between 4-6 tables, depending on how many good tables there are.
It's really hard to pick a favourite format, I really do like them all. MTTs are great when you bink one but I do struggle with handling the amount of variance involved. One thing I can say is that I love live poker so much more than online
Yeah would be up for a game of chess. I play on Chess.com, it's free to sign up, you should give it a go

Played a live game last night at a local pub, was a really good night with a really good group of lads (and 1 girl). £5 in, 1 rebuy allowed in the first hour (no matter what your stack size) and 1 add-on at first break. The owner chose to use his re-buy in the first hand so he had double the starting stack, and then donked it all off mega quick by being super super agro lol... gave me a nice double up along the way though Didn't bother rebuying cos I was chipped up nicely but did get an add-on. Playing really well all night, and it did help playing against some mighty big fish. Got down to the FT of 8, we were down to 7 at this point (top 3 paid), it was a pretty fast structure to try to finish by midnight, so I had 10-11BBs (think I was 4th in chips), folds round to me in CO, I open jam AQs... folds round to the BB (the worst player in the game by a country mile) who thinks for a bit and then calls for 3/4 of his stack with K3s. Needless to say, the river was a 3 lol so I ended up 7th.
People asked him if he mis-read his cards after calling off like 3/4 of his stack to an open shove with K3s and he said he was looking at me and sensed I had something... so that's why he called with K3s lol.
Great night though, and good cheap fun. Payouts were £100, £50 and £15 which aint too bad for £5 BI and 14 runners. Definitely go again.
Fancied a bit of poker, but didn't have time for a cash session so just mucked about a bit on DYMs and my old favourite Hypers. Won 1, lost 1 at the DYMs and won 4/6 of my Hypers, was playing £5.25 Hypers today now that I can afford them and to see what the opposition was like. The people I came accross didn't seem much different from the people I was playing at £1 games. So made a nice £9.70 profit for a quick bit of fun. Great for the poker points them higher up Hypers too!
Poker Points: 297
Really slacked off from poker recently with that live game last night and lots of chess, will definitely be getting back on the wagon and I'm still confident I can make the 1000 point mark.
Right, I've been hiding away from posting in my diary because I've been having a bit of a horrible time of it. I still am really but there was a little light at the end of the tunnel today.
I know I never stop chopping and changing, but while I was at my mums over the weekend, her laptop can only handle 1 table, and I didn't wanna 1 table cash, so I ended up playing lots of £5.25 hypers. I know I can beat them, I have done at lower levels and the general standard is really not that much different. So I've been playing alot of them recently.
My bankroll started out at about £280 before I started them and I'm now down to £207 which did hurt a bit. A little of that is down to playing the DTD and the odd bits and bobs, but it's mostly hypers. However, this is only just over a 10BI swing and when I first started these I was running truly horribly, could never win a flip, 60/40, 70/30, nothing lol, so I'm not too shocked/alarmed to be down this much. I know I'm outplaying most of the people I'm coming up against at the mo and am getting it in good and making the right moves in the right spots most of the time. Just had a winning streak of 7 games.
I'm now watching alot of training vids on Hypers just to see if I can find any ways to improve my win-rate because most of what I do is from my own experience and some help from Dohhhhhhh.
Bankroll: £207.72 Poker Points: 673 (£5.38)
Edit: I'm up for that ROI challenge by the way for June if you want Dohhhh, or anyone else that wants one over 1000 hypers
Got another few games in this evening, played 14 and won 8 of them for £6.50 profit. Bit annoying that I was more in profit earlier in the session but still a decent ROI so can't complain. Racked up an extra 34p in C4P too Bankroll: £214.22 Poker Points: 718 (£5.72)
Looks like I'll be cruising to getting my 1000+ poker points. Will be happy if I can just get my BR back up to £280 by the end of the month, £10+ of which is gonna come from C4P, so shouldn't be too tricky, variance permitting.
Oh by the way, I meant to write in my post the other day, me and GreekWay have had a few games of chess now, he's currently winning 4 games to 2, but we'll be playing a few more soon. Hopefully I can beat him at the HU games to level the score either way.

I'd be up for this Paul.
Can do a 3-way (steady on :P) or separate challenges. I don't mind either.

Yeah and I'm back to stay now. Yeah I'm definitely up for a 3 way ROI challenge if Dohhhhhh is up for it. If not, guess it's just you and me.
Hopefully by the end of 1000 games, JJ will be back on the straight and narrow.
I've been chatting to JJ on Facebook and he's agreed to the ROI challenge Splashies. Was gonna use my diary as a place to post how things are going etc and he'll provide some SS graphs on how we're getting on.
So 1000 Hypers, starting from 1st June. Good luck both!

Nice one.
We need to think of a forfeit or something for the 2 losers.

What did you have in mind? Only so much you can do in the way off forfeits online.

Hmmm not got any ideas as of yet, but i'll have a think.
I'll be playing the £3.15 hypers for the rest of the year. I noticed the other week that i had a star on sharkscope. It was for being ranked 19th in total profit for $2-5 HU sngs in 2012 over all networks. So I've kind of set myself a target to get to #1 in the world. The £5.25's don't fall into this bracket so it's going to be £3.15s until December.

Ok fair enough, well good luck with that. 19th is still mighty impressive. Do you actually get anything if you finish say 1st, other than obviously all the profits you've made and the bragging rights?

No prize, as far as I'm aware. But bragging rights will do
Oh and where are you watching the hyper training vids? husng.com ?
Well yeah, I saw them 2 leakfinders one on HUsng.com... Well I actually found them on youtube but they posted up from HUsng.com
There really isn't much out there on hypers at all, but I keep looking for vids and even just written guides/ideas abuot them. I've also started looking on other poker forums for the first time ever because I know some of the bigger forums discuss hypers more.
Only managed to get in a quick session because I've got things to be getting on with, but I plan to get probably 20ish games in tonight. Anyway, I played 8 and won 5 for an £8 profit. Bankroll: £222.22 Poker Points: 739(£5.91)
Just wanted to double check what any hyper players think of this river? I checked it to him because I couldn't see how I could get value from anything that I was beating. This an easy check or do you think is this structure there are worse hands that call?
I've removed their name so as not to be nasty but if it helps in your answer, the player was pretty awful, no idea about shoving/calling ranges when short stacked, never ever raised pre, always limped, and limped nearly 100% of hands in first couple of levels (I did play 3 games against him, so did get a good chance to see what his game was like).
I forgot to say ages ago, but needless to say I didn't get that job that I interviewed for recently. I was a bit annoyed at the time but thinking about it I don't think it was ideal for me and I'm not sure I'd have been really happy there long-term.
However, I did go for another interview on Monday just gone for a much better job, with better prospects. Should hopefully be finding out about that one tomorrow so fingers crossed.
