Just a quick note to say that I've been approached to ask if I would like to be staked to play the Sunday Million this weeked. Obviously I've said yes, and will be requesting my one time
As it's the 7th Anniversary of the Sunday Million they are guaranteeing the prizepool @ $7 million so will be in excess of $1million FTW... just need to get through about 40,000 runners It starts Sunday evening and won't finish til probably late monday morning (probably 10am ish) so I'll give an update Monday night about how it went.
Played my £2 DYM for the challenge today and donked off so back to the start there. Played a cheapy rebuy on the french site which started well but was a struggle swimming against the tide. Built a stack then got it in AQ v AJ and lost, rebuilt again, get it in AJ v KJ and lose, build back up to like 11xBB but just lost a standard 60/40 when I jammed in LP.
Did play a few Hypers (and win) a few Hypers there though so up a few quid.
No poker for me tonight, giving it a rest, can't play on Saturday cos I'll be at my mum's and she's just moved house and hasn't got the internet set up yet, so next time I play will be the Sunday Million.
I've been neglecting cash a bit, not cos I'm playing bad or running bad (the usual excuse) just cos I've been enjoying MTTs but after the Sunday Million, it'll be back to Sky for cash (20NL) and frenchy for MTTs

Alright m8 - Haven,t read all of this but was just wondering - Is this from your original post of about £140 BR?
Ps - Know what you mean about enjoying tournaments - That has a lot to do with why i don,t play as much cash as i should - coz i just enjoy tournies and satelites more

Yeah all from my original BR, it's all from an original deposit of £20 actually which I manage to squeeze in as a brag as often as possible lol.
Never re-deposited since. Well.. that's technically not true but it is... Ages ago I withdraw £20 (I think) from Sky, stuck it on the 'big site', spun it up to just over $100 then was having a bad time on the Hypers (that's what I was playing there because the rake is a lot less there) so ended up withdrawing it all and putting it in here, but that did come from my Sky BR originally so yeah no more than £20 has left my bank

Well I was referring to the tourney finishing around that time, not me lol but fingers crossed
Well I didn't win the Sunday Million If I had there probably would have been a post here 5 mins after it finished (gotta allow 5 mins to run round shouting).
Anyway, it got 50,000 runners in the end, I played very solid for about 4 hours, then things naturally picked up a bit in terms of aggro-ness. It all ended when the CO opened and I 3bet jammed 17xBB from the BB with K8o... very shocked to see the original opener insta-snap me off with 9Ts and he got there on the river. Came about 20,000th, better than going out first I guess but ah well, there's always next time
No change with the BR on Sky, haven't played once since my last post.
I have played a bit of the french site though.
Played 'The Big 2e' and came 126/1227. Exit hand there was me 3bet shipping 66 into AK for a massive stack but couldn't hold so got a massive 3.75e there.
Played 'The Big 3e' earlier too, another good run but again the doomed 66. This time I was pretty short and open shipped 66 and got snapped off behind me by JJ and QQ, so finished 63rd there out of about 840 for 6.37e.
So doubled my money twice for about 8 hours play... sigh, but been getting some good deep runs on that site so far and I know it won't be long before I FT one of them.
I also played some Hypers on there and won 5/5 so I've got my original 40e up to just over 60e. Good start
To be honest, I'm a bit wary about playing cash (or anything) on Sky at the moment cos since these freerolls started it just seems to be constant moaning about how the whole site is constantly lagging during the freerolls. Might continue playing on the other site until these FRs are out the way,

Eh? whats this about the lag and the freerolls? I've been away for a while... I guess i must've missed summin Posted by TPTP123
They've got a week of £1000 Freerolls, one each night and they're getting like 2000 runners (so I hear) and all I've been hearing is about lag and what not while they're running, so don't really wanna whack on a load of cash tables during the freeroll.
But hopefully you're right shaun so I might give it a go. Still aint got round to a clash with you at 10NL mastercash, will do soon.
Played a 1e rebuy 4-max tourney on french site, finished about 40th out of just over 100 so no cash there. Rebought first hand obv, double rebought + did the add-on so that cos me 5e.
Then played a load of Hypers, ran terrible and lost loads, then had a good run and won it all back. The beginning of the run bad was getting it in AA v AJ on AKQ (and losing) but yeh thats boring. Obv in true spew tilt fashion I moved from 3s to 5s when losing, then 5s to 10s lol. Lost loads again, was down to 1e and had 1x 5e Hyper open at my lowest point, then spun it back up to nearly 40e.
It was only hours later Doh suggested I don't play Hypers on there cos the rake is like 6.5% on Hypers!!! It's my own fault for not checking but I assumed the rake would be the same as it is on the english (or non french) version of the site where it's like 2%. So no more Hypers on there for me, just stick to MTTs.
I also realised last night how bored I am with Hypers. like you shouldn't (imo) 'try to win' it in the first 2 levels, just play solid etc then it gets down to knowing when to raise/call jams, when to 3bet jam pre, when to open ship, when to call someone who open ships etc which I think I'm pretty good at but just gets really boring after a while. Bored of just watching races 90% of the time, win or lose.
So had about 30 mins spare last night, not enough for cash or MTTs, and didn't wanna play Hypers so I went and 6tabled DYMs (god!), mostly £5s with £3s an £2s to top up, didn't go as well as it could have but happy with how I played. Lost about £8

So we finally got the SnG structures sorted today (don't talk about HU games!) and I got the SnG comp up and running. It's only running til the end of March so maybe when that's all done and dusted, I'll get round to sorting out another HU comp which I'm sure JJ is dying for.
Played quite a few SnGs today for the comp. I originally regged for 6 to have a proper grind but then the in-laws came round and I had to de-reg from 5 and shove off my chips in the one that had started, which for anyone that knows me.... you'll know how painful it is for me to have to shove off chips and voluntarily lose £2.20 lol
All in all (apart from the £2.20 above) I played 2 x £1.10 and won them both for a total of £5.60 profit
Played 2 x £2.20 and won one of them for a profit of £3.40
Played 1 x £5.50 and lost that. Pretty sigh, I got it in 33 v A9 on the bubble to lock up a cash and have a 2:1 CL going FTW (3rd in a row) but I couldn't hold and bubbled shortly after. So lost £5.50 there.
Then I played some 20NL for the first time in yonks! And finished +£40 which is pretty sweet

I **** hate my mental game!!! SO many times it has cost me a decent bink and yet again happened last night. Played the £5.75 BH last night cos I know it's ridic soft and said to myself if I win it I'll BI direct to SPT Stratford cos it would probably be about £180 FTW.
Played really well all game, really focussed, no spew at all, just playing very solid against people that call too much, then there are 18 left out of about 170 (we're in the cash now) and this monstrosity of a hand happens.
Flop I'm happy with, don't really want to raise and have to do something crazy on a missed turn. Turn I'm thinking I've got at str8 outs, nut flush outs, trip outs, 2pr outs AND it's still possible I'm ahead because can see villian doing this with Tx. Miss the lot on the river and obv make the worst snap-tilt call ever knowing I have to be beat after facing 3 barrels.
I was abuot 5/18 at the start of the hand btw. Such a moron. Got it in 44 v A9 very next hand and lost for a profit of £1.62. All I have to do is remain focussed there, fold the river and I've still got an average stack and can still go win it but I'm just a massive fish.
'Ridic soft' Always curious as to how people come to these assumptions Posted by Jac35
I don't mean to be harsh but it's by playing in them, seeing the names who play in them, speaking to other good players who play them, seeing weak players FT and win them etc etc.
One thing is, it's not hard to spot when you see a table full of people who just continously limp, call a raise, then check/fold flops.
Another good night on the cash tables. But before I get to that...
I played 2 x £2.35 Micro SPT Sats with no success.
Then bought in direct for the £10.60 Quarter Final which went rubbish. So that was a £15.30 loss.
I was playing 5 tables of 20NL which were all going well but shut them down so I could fully focus on the SPT Quarter... obv like the first hand after me closing them all down and I concentrate on the satellite, I open JTo, make a J-high 4flush, the Qc is out there, so just beat by Ac or Kc... sigh, gg.
So I've been trying to satellite into SPT Stratford for quite a while with no success now, got through to the Quarter I think 3 times from 6 attempts and donked off every single time. I'd resolved to just buying in direct so decided to sell some action to lighten the load on my wallet/BR. I posted it up on FB and had sold the 50% I was selling to 3 different Sky regs within 5 minutes of posting it.
Still planning to play the satellites though for cash so today I played all (I think) of the Micro Sats for SPT, I played 4 or 5 anyway. No success in the first 4 and bubbled the seats in the last one but got like £8.80 of cash so that near enough paid for the others.
I'd already bought in direct to the Quarter anyway and was playing them to hopefully re-coup the BI. I've gotta start by saying that the Quarter finals are the most painful structure I've ever had to sit through, they are just so slow and so boring.
There was 1 big hand in the Quarter which obv completely changed the tourney for me... very early (either 10/20 or 15/30) I 3x with KK and get callers. Flop comes 922 and first villian donk shoves his 2,000 into like 200. Cannot fathom anything he could have that beats me so I call (this villian has JT with no FD, no nothing) but the guy behind me also snaps me off with 23. I think 'oh ****' another short lived Quarter, turn is a 3 just to make it a bit sweeter for him, but I river my K to make a bigger FH and treble up to 6k. From that point it was plain sailing and I was just slowly picking up chips. Wasn't even a sweat round the bubble.
I made the decision nearing the bubble that because I was already gonna be playing the SPT at a cost of £110 to me, I'd just BI direct to the Semi and pocket the £50 so that covered the rest of the losses made today.

Also played the £11 £1k BH but managed to do a poorly timed bluff early on. Left me quite short and I got it in 55 v 2 overs to make a swift exit. Also played a few Hypers today (yeah I know I always go back to them!!) cos I was logged in waiting for Micro sats to start and wanted something to do. Not sure exactly cos I didn't keep track but I definitely did alright, probably +£15 or £20
I've been hitting the SPT satellites quite a bit too. Won through 7 of 13 micros, but also paid for a few quarters and have only got through 2 of 13 of them. Donked off my first semi when I shoved thinking a had draws and found someone holding a pair and a cards that stole most of my hits. Have another semi to play Sunday so I hope that goes well as I've already done about £95 trying!
Agree that the quarters are painfully slow, did you notice that tonight at the end of the late reg period you could have joined with about 10BB but with 7 seats and only 14 remaining!?

Yeah I know, pretty crazy. I saw that and someone late regged onto my table right before the end or late reg, pretty nice position to be in without any of the work. Might have to keep an eye on the Quarter lobby on future nights to see if it's worth late regging.
Another day of quite a few satellites. Started out with a TSP micro sat for £2.80, got through to the Semi on my first attempt so that was good. Then while I was there, I thought I might aswell buy in to SPT Quarter and then play all the micros for cash cos I love the format and do very well in them. I played 3 micros altogether I think, bubbled twice and got a seat (£10.60) in one so that covered all the games I played with a 30p profit and a seat in the TSP Semi.
TSP Semi went ok, nothing special, again a good fast game and I shipped K7 into K9 and couldn't get there.
Played The Big 3e on the french site I play on. Did really well but again just fell short towards the end and the payouts on there are SO steep that basically anything less than a FT is pretty rubbish. It was 3e and there was 535 for the win... 1166 runners and I came 68th for 7.24e so barely double my money. Exit hand I 3bet shipped 77 into AK and couldnt hold.
Then tonight I was so busy playing pokemon on the DS that we got for my daughter's birthday recently that I completely forgot about the TOTP game, remembered at about 9:15 (15 mins after it started) so sat down with about 1750 and managed to rocket off to a good start. Started very aggro, 4bet shipped 77 v Jock's AK and held. Shipped 77 into Donald who called with 55 and I held. Was definitely being VERY aggro so I was expecting some playing back at me once we were 3handed so when I opened ATs and got jammed on, I think it was correct to call (and it was on this occasion), called to face KJ but couldn't hold this time. Bust the next hand when I had to get it in with 67o and 2xBB. Still a decent bit of free money
Well played all!

As it's the 7th Anniversary of the Sunday Million they are guaranteeing the prizepool @ $7 million so will be in excess of $1million FTW... just need to get through about 40,000 runners
Played my £2 DYM for the challenge today and donked off so back to the start there. Played a cheapy rebuy on the french site which started well but was a struggle swimming against the tide. Built a stack then got it in AQ v AJ and lost, rebuilt again, get it in AJ v KJ and lose, build back up to like 11xBB but just lost a standard 60/40 when I jammed in LP.
Did play a few Hypers (and win) a few Hypers there though so up a few quid.
No poker for me tonight, giving it a rest, can't play on Saturday cos I'll be at my mum's and she's just moved house and hasn't got the internet set up yet, so next time I play will be the Sunday Million.
I've been neglecting cash a bit, not cos I'm playing bad or running bad (the usual excuse) just cos I've been enjoying MTTs but after the Sunday Million, it'll be back to Sky for cash (20NL) and frenchy for MTTs

TSP Semi went ok, nothing special, again a good fast game and I shipped K7 into K9 and couldn't get there.
Played The Big 3e on the french site I play on. Did really well but again just fell short towards the end and the payouts on there are SO steep that basically anything less than a FT is pretty rubbish. It was 3e and there was 535 for the win... 1166 runners and I came 68th for 7.24e so barely double my money. Exit hand I 3bet shipped 77 into AK and couldnt hold.
Then tonight I was so busy playing pokemon on the DS that we got for my daughter's birthday recently that I completely forgot about the TOTP game, remembered at about 9:15 (15 mins after it started) so sat down with about 1750 and managed to rocket off to a good start. Started very aggro, 4bet shipped 77 v Jock's AK and held. Shipped 77 into Donald who called with 55 and I held. Was definitely being VERY aggro so I was expecting some playing back at me once we were 3handed so when I opened ATs and got jammed on, I think it was correct to call (and it was on this occasion), called to face KJ but couldn't hold this time. Bust the next hand when I had to get it in with 67o and 2xBB. Still a decent bit of free money
Well played all!
