xxxxxxxx /> lambert you are the only decent player at this table, the rest are dionk fish ^^ posted on 1 of our tables just now. Had always feared I was a donk fish, must be true Posted by splashies
Lol well I didn't wanna break it to you mate...
You'll have to let JJ know (so he can tell me) or PM me who it was.
Seem to be heatering a bit on that other site, played a few MTTs today alongside my cash on Sky, had half deep runs in every game but no cashes.
Then I knew I had to finish my session to be off somewhere at 2pm, so didn't reg any more MTTs and played some SnGs, I played a €5 15-man SnG and took it down for €30, then realised I had time for another... took that down again for €30
So probably a little under +€50 on there for the day so far. Will play some more tonight when I play another cash session. If I keep running like this, then using this as a means of 'satelliting' into the SPT Grand Final should be plain sailing... but things are never that easy for me
Wiiii, had a +10 BI session this morning which has finally meant I'm in the black for the first time this month.
Already a few points shy of Priority so still plenty of time to turn this round to a good month and hopefully 20k points. Also had an email at the start of the month from Priority that if I beat last month's points total (which I'll be doing in the next few days) then I'll get 15% extra £££ on my C4P so aiming to get around the £1k mark in C4P and ideally £1k+ in profits.
Nice going - Didn,t realise how many pts you were racking up You must have been putting in some volume P Posted by MP33
Yeah I'm playing quite a lot now. All the details will be in my blog which should be uploaded soon... although I've been saying that for 2 weeks lol. Thinking of sticking it into just a blog site too like Blogger, then I'll just make occasional updates there, not like my diary, just like big events.... FT'ing an SPT, playing my first UKIPT etc etc (assuming they happen one day lol)
BR is coming along well, will probably update here with details at the end of the month.
The task of trying to bink my way to an SPT by playing MTTs on another site is still coming along well.
I only have a small amount on there which I don't really mind losing so in an effort to speed things up, I decided to take a shot at some 50NL HU cash last night (VERY aggro BRM if you knew what my BR was lol)... took a few quid off some fella til he obv realised I wasn't stupid so sat out like a pro bum hunter. So had to move tables and shortly after sitting down walked an OP into a set which became quads, so that was that!
It didn't damage the roll too much and I went back to just playing MTTs again this morning alongside my cash grind on Sky. Just skoped myself and have only actually played 23 MTTs on there ever but I've had good results/a lot of deep runs so far and finally won my first MTT over there today.
Busted all my €5 games early doors, nothing out the ordinary just standard coolers/bad beats... one was pretty nasty to be fair when I flatted a 3bet w/ AK in position, flat his cbet on like K46, he barrels again on a 9 turn and I just stick him in cos his turn bet leaves him totally committed, he snaps off with K7.... 7 riv, gg lol.
Anyway, I was left with just my €2 deepstack which I took down... it got 273 runners and I won €120
So that's a good chunk towards me buying in to the Grand Final and still a good few weeks yet. Just need to stop getting all my deep runs in the smallest BIs of my schedule
Nicely done Paul, you're not that bad at MTT's after all
Only recently realised that it had gone on general sale. Really wanna play it but not sure I can justify shelling out £330 on a single tournament. Might have to see if some friends want a piece of me. Just 2 more deepstack wins and you're there, happy days.

Cheers, I like to think I'm pretty decent at MTTs just my volume in them is embarrassingly bad. I've been on Sky about 4+ years now and if you skoped me I think I've played about 400 MTTs and at least 100+ of them have been SPT satellites.
Or 1 more if it was in one of my bigger games Had a really deep run (I think I posted somewhere about it) a few days ago where I was doing really well, like a top 3 stack with 20 left of an MTT with €570 for 1st but lost AQ v 22, then it all went downhill and I think I came like 13th for about €15 lol. Was really hoping for some rungood there cos that could have been my SPT BI locked up and a couple of hundred spare
Well yeah I wouldn't normally BI for a £330, but I hate satellites so I'm just treating these MTTs on the other site where I don't really care about my roll as my satellites. It'll probably cost me a ton less to try and win the BI over there than to play a load of £16 sats, hoping to play a Semi that only runs once a week and I might not even get a seat at all. At least this way, if I only win £250 over the next couple of weeks there, then it's a massively reduced BI for me.
It's only an aside anyway, I just play 3-4 MTTs there while I'm 12tabling cash on Sky.
What about just playing a semi satellite? Seems like a better option IMO. I think I'm going to have 2/3 attempts at a satellite at most and then give up. I really hate satellites but just can't afford to buy in direct really!!
A semi is £72, I don't really fancy punting £72 when if I remember rightly the late stages of SPT sats are massively cr@pshooty. I can't afford to BI direct either but my proper grind (and roll) is on Sky... so I'm still 12tabling cash here, and then I just have 4 MTTs going on the other site on my other monitor so it's not really interfering with my normal grind while trying to bink a seat.
As it is, I'm only playing like £2/£3/£5 MTTs on a very soft site so very small risk and tbh I'd be shocked if I didn't have a decent bink once in the next like 5 weeks or whatever I have. I'm already about +£160 in the last week or so... half way there.
Tbh, even if I didn't make much more profit over the next few weeks, I'd be happy just withdrawing my £160 and getting into the Grand Final for (effectively) only £170
Had another deep run last night but wasn't quite deep enough!
I played 4 MTTs, bust 3 of them fairly early but was going along really nicely in the biggest MTT of the night. It was a €10 BI (usually I stick to €5 max but was convinced by someone saying how good it was).... 1511 runners started, with just shy of €2.8k for the win. I made the money but bust 77 v AQ aipf to come somewhere inthe 120s I think. Pretty sigh cos their MTTs are VERY top heavy (which I love) but it means a mincash is like 1.5x the BI lol... so won just over €15

This is what always reminds me of why I prefer cash over MTT's!! I mean the thrill of an MTT win is great but playing multiple hours to just min-cash really grinds on me!! I guess sky is OK in that the fields are never that big so you're not playing all that long in a tourney and min-cashing doesn't seem so bad!
WRT the semi-satellites - did not realise they were that much!! OK, even they seem quite a lot to spend in comparison to my BR. That being said what I still think if you want to satellite in you'd probably be better off going for the semi because spending £16 on a quarters and working really hard to try and win a seat into a semi when you can probably just grind cash for the same time (and win the same amount). Even if you do win a smaller satellite you'll still then have to win the semi's anyway.
@ Dohhhh: Possibly. I don't know who would want to buy any action off me though! I mean I'm mainly a cash player as you know and even though I've had good success the past week in tourneys (finished with a v good cash in almost 20% of tourneys) I don't have much experience of big field tournaments live play. I've only played 3 events (2 SPTs and one pub league finals at DTD) - had 1 min-cash out of them 3 tourneys! So I'd probably say buy action off me at your own peril :P
Turned around the month a few days ago and went into a decent profit for the first time of the month, then have run unbelievably bad over the last 2-3 days and blown a massive chunk. Just 3 days of pretty much every single possible form of negative variance rolled in to one.... missing every board, zero cbets/bluffs getting through, when I hit well either getting snap folds or ending up being coolered/outdrawn at some point.
And just bust my last MTT of the morning... made it into the cash, shipped 44, snapped by 22 who flops quads, gg.

I just thought I'd do a one-off bigger blog (just one big diary entry really) with pictures and stuff cos of a big decision I made recently.
I've sent the blog over to Tikay and it should hopefully by uploaded soon.
