Cheers Timmy, you gonna be shooting for the Punta Cana thing.. if only to get some money from the leaderboard? Seems a bit meh to me cos it's just swamped by people playing RRs or crazy amounts of Hypers where they just know they're playing too many to ever be +EV. Each to their own I guess. Happy to be able to say I came back to Sky 'with a bang', just took down the 9pm £55bh first night back Good to wipe out the cash losses and then some from the morning. Only 466 points today, need to be getting 500+ per day really, must do better.

I've played 5-6 tables on avg for about 16 hours so far and am in profit (not ran amazing, prob below avg) Probably played near 200 or more RR too, so I know it's like negative -£30/£40ish in EV but not much of a dent given the prize.
Yeah you're a very good player obv, so I'm sure you know what you're doing. Just don't do a lambo and think 'well it's only £x of EV I lose on RRs' and then run £500 below EV lol. Glgl
Tyty JJ. Yeah I'm up for the Prio bet, will sort details out with you when you get back from the snooker.
Got another small cash session in there, very up and down, finished +£55. Best hand of the session has to be hero'ing this against a mate of mine....
Charity bet confirmed with JJ. If I make Prio he gives £20 to EDS, if I don't make it, I give £20 to the RSPCA.
10k points in 31 days, so need 322 per day on avg.
Was gonna rack up some solid points at my mum's last ngiht on cash but ended up driviing to liverpool then having to drive back home later the same day so couldn't grind and now a bit behind the pace on 670 points in 3 days.

Good luck with your grind 2nite mate and hope to see ya in the Priority Club.
MattBates wants you to look at my diary he's not happy with the amount of hours your putting in a month.
Managed a small win 'on stake' after just losing HU in the 55ko on 888 for about $420, FT of a $35 turbo bh and a few other small cashes.
Sky MTTs I lost a tenner which is a pretty good result for a Sunday but frustrating I didn't make more of my deep runs. Got 4th in the MBI, I had AQ<A6 which would have taken us 3handed and given me a pretty big CL if I'd held, but that's fair enough, that's just bad luck etc, but made a few mistakes in other games. FT'd the late 22bh too and my exit there (in 6th) was deffo a blow.
Recently I've been playing a few £10 Hypers towards the end of a session, when my table count is vv low and I'm not regging any more (usually only for about 30 mins around half 12/1am ish) so Ive decided with the push for Prio I'm gonna make sure I do at least 10 at the end of each session. If I do ~20 MTT sessions, that'll be 200 hypers, so at the £10s will be 1k points. Every little helps.
Played 18 tonight, and started off getting pelted so pretty happy to bring it back round to W8, L10
Dunno if points are fully up to date cos dunno if Roller points get added after the comp ends or what but according to my account page atm ...
Points: 1052
Back tomorrow for a full day, cash in the morning, MTTs at night
Good solid morning grind done in terms of volume. Was a pretty grim session like. Got stacked within 10-15 mins of sitting down with this, but in the word's of JJ... "it'd look great on my EV graph!"

Played for about 3 and a half hours, and ~3hr of it was pretty tough going. Winning loads of small pots then the first big pot that comes along and I have to b/f the turn or something and gg all the hard work/profit from earlier. A bit of heat at the end managed to get me back to -£67 so not too much of a disaster.
Points: 1403
Back tonight for MTTs so will probably finish the day on 1650 ish points.
Hey mate - you about for our HU? If not, I'm probably not going to be around until next Weds night at the earliest as we're off to Berlin first thing on Friday. Posted by bromley04
Mr Bromley, you take my breath away with your travel brags - even got this one in on 2 threads.
Mr Lambert is this one going to be on your twitch stream? If so I will try and broker some sponsorship deals, I contacted Sepp Blatter for some advice on these matters but he is not returning my calls.
Cheers PRees, not twitched for a while cos I've been trying to focus on making money and lots of points this month and twitch becomes harder and harder (for me at least) the more tables you play. Would love to go on the show, although the way I'm running atm the £100 challenge may be over in <10 mins.
Sorry I missed that post Adam, I'll explain why in a sec. Will have to catch up with you when you get back. Have fun!
Phantom, I'm happy to twitch my HU matches with Adam. What is it again, best of 3 or 5? What speed games?
============================
The last couple of days have been really tough. Yesterday I played cash and got absolutely destroyed. It's pretty demoralising when you run like that, sure I probably made my fair share of mistakes as I do when I win or lose, but man I ran bad. It's the first time in must be at least 12 months where I've got genuinely angry at the game which in itself is tilting, to see that side of my mental game rear it's head again.
Long story short, my head was mashed and I didn't want to think about poker at all, hence me not updating or seeing your post Adam.
Came back fresh this morning for some more cash, this time with JJ watching on jme, and proceeded to get butchered again. Just getting battered by coolers again, and the odd time I coolered someone myself, they just did like a 2 outer and got out of it lol. It's been a real horror show anyway. Yesterday was a little shy of -£500 and today was -£330. It really is soul destroying when you just keep playing well and can't win a pot.
The one positive I took from the first horror session was 'meh at least I was like £550 up for the month so now I'm just break even, and I've deffo had worse starts to a month than that'. Well now I'm -£300 lol but again, I've had much worse starts than that too and I'm sure I can easily recover from it (variance permitting).
Back on the MTTs tonight anyway.
Points: 2303
So will be on 2500 ish after tonight's session which is bang on target for Prio, although I do need to get a bit ahead of target soon because this coming weekend I'll be away at DTD for the team comp thing (party players will know what that is), and the next weekend is my mum's birthday so gg that too.
======================
EDIT: forgot to update the MTTs I played on Monday night... Deep run in sky main, bust 30th for £70 with AJ<A8, the curse of me never winning a sky main remains.
FT'd the 9pm BH, frustratingly got unlucky again (twice) to gg in 4th for £200.
FT'd a $22 deepstack on 888, all going well, then AA<KJo to bust in 6th for $175
Not much going on stake tonight, got 12th in $22 deepy for $60 and 16th in 12r for $85, that's about it, so a small loss on there.
On Sky I got 2nd in the MBI for just over £300 and played the £24 UKOPS Sat for the money and got the £110 so repaired most of the damage of this morning's cash session, and back to nearly break even for the month.
One more night of grinding tomorrow then it's off to DTD on the weekend to play this team comp.
Had a great session tonight which got me back into the black for the month, which is a really amazing result after those couple of days at cash.
Played all my regular comps, got 8th in the 9pm £55BH for £90 busting AQ<AJ which is a bit meh. I got 2nd in the MBI for the 2nd night running, HU loss there was pretty urgh too, stacks were about even and I jammed A2dd, called by K9hh, and flop was 34x with two diamonds, so about as much a lock for the hand as I can possibly be while still having A high lol but he spiked the offsuit 9, got £310 for that.
I also saw there was a £115 sat running for the UKOPS high roller, and had a bit of overlay so late-regged it. It obv didn't end with overlay cos everyone had the same idea as me, but after a long, tough bubble someone else did the hard work, lost a flip and I got my £530 seat. There's a half decent chance I'll play the event, it'll largely depend on if I'm free that night and how UKOPS has gone up to that point but it just makes no sense to not take the money incase you can't play etc so took the £££ for that.
Still rough going in my staked comps, so far only 1 cash tonight and I'm just 1tabling my last one now, a $16.50 turbo on 888, 35 runners left from 215 atm, 27 paid and $700 ftw, so hopefully I have something positive to post about the stake in the next update.
Having a nice break from online poker now and setting off for DTD in the morning, excited as always, I love live poker.
Surely if you can't play it you'll find out nearer the time and be able to reg then? Taking the cash now obv feels good but then when it comes to the event you'll be like "do I really want to stump out £530 for this?"
I don't really get what you mean Ivan. If I wanna take the £££ in advance, or even have the option to do so, then I have to do it in advance, I can't do it after the satellite has finished. Do you mean just stay regged in the HR so I don't notice the £530 in my account? If so, meh, wouldn't really work on me, I'd always know I have the option to take it so would still treat it like my £530, and I never really pay attention to my balance anyway, I just look at my spreadsheet for profit/loss and the only way to count it on my spreadsheet really is to count it as a £530 cash. As I say, I'll play the HR if I've got off to a good start in UKOPS.
======================================
Pokerwise, the team weekend at DTD was a total flop. Struggled to win a hand all day, only a few major pots than I can recall, one I'd 4bet KK BTN v BB, flop was Axx and maanged to only lose a little bit more postflop to AK, the other one that I remember I had A6 on AQ6, villian had AQ , thankfully the full runout was AQ63Q so by the river my head was basically dead, I didn't even have a kicker anymore but obv had to pay off his comedy bet of 25k into a 400k pot on the river. Was still a great weekend though
=================================
Got some catching up to do on the points front now after having the weekend off!
I'm not gonna go into details cos it's not my business to discuss but for personal reasons the stable I'm in have decided to disband so I'm no longer staked. It came as a bit of a shock but yeh it shouldn't really affect me too much.
So I didn't find out long before my session and had a bit of admin to sort so only played Sky tonight, I'll deposit a bit of my own £££ on some of the other sites soon.
Bricked everything, except about £25 worth of heads, across all the games. On the positives, I got a decent bit of Hyper grinding in cos only playing Sky meant my table count was really low all night. Played 31 games and won 20 for +£75
Points: 3153
Should be on abuot 3800 by now by knew I'd be 2 days behind the pace after the weekend, should catch that up this week easy enough.
Was always gonna happen after me posting up about a good session at the Hypers the other day. I've been getting battered at them ever since. Winning races is harddd.
Yesterday at £10s I W31 and L40 and that was about -£120
Today I W31 and L36 at £10s, and flicked in some £21s cos at times it was really hard to get games running, W4 and L3 at the £21s for a total today of -£70.50
Points: 3933
Hopefully make that like 4200 ish after MTTs (and maybe some hypers) tonight, then hopefully finish tomorrow on around 5000. The half way point for prio almost exactly half way thru the month.
Comedy hand of the session. After he called, I was trying to think if there was even 1 hand he chops/beats there. 23o is a boat, 24o and 74o are straights. Finally figured out he beats 72o. Calling with the 2nd nut low, what a hero!
Mehhh it won't post
Stacks were 350 (me) v 650 (him) at 20/40, I limp the BTN with JJ and bet, bet, jam on 356r 5 turn 5 river. He calls down with 82o
