Well the tables were great again tonight.... dunno what it is, maybe it's a lot of extra traffic and a lot more people hanging around at night because of UKOPS, but tables are great atm and the deck was much kinder to me too.
Finished +£140
Will only post 1 hand tonight and it is a bit of a brag lol. Hero call with K high. I'd been playing 3handed on this table for a pretty long time and had a really good feel for how opponent was playing. It's calls like this which would be nigh on impossible to make 12tabling but now I've reduced my tables, these kind of player dependent decisions are much easier to make.
Just wanted to post this hand cos it's so sick for the villain... discussing it with JJ and villain is in such an absolute puke spot on the river, cos not only does he have to put me on the case ace to call, but he also has to give me credit for trying to get him off a chop here. If I had Ax here, I'm never shipping to get called by worse when he pots the river.
There's essentially only 1 card in the deck I can possibly have that he beats and only 1 card in the deck that beats him. Sick spot (and sick get there by me).
Meh, unfortunately not Fairy. At the mo, I only really feel happy playing them if I've satted in cos it's pretty easy to just brick 3-4 MTTs in a row no problem, and losing £330-£440 in a matter of days just on 4 MTTs is pretty big for me. When I got back from SPT on Sunday, I played a £5 sat for that's night first UKOPS ME, got through and stone bubbled the semi for a seat so didn't play that night.
I generally play a morning session and a night time session like 5 days a week, and my plan was to continue playing cash at night and in the mornings just hammer every single UKOPS sat. Like even if I win my £24 Semi seat, just keep playing every single £5 Micro sat and just take the cash for them. Annoyingly though, I've had a load of things on in the mornings this week and have hardly been able to play a single UKOPS sat since Sunday. The 2pm-6pm window isn't good for me with getting the kids home from school, feeding them, getting them to bed etc. And I aint playing an all in sat unless there's enough overlay to make it +EV lol so hard for me to qualify but hoping to find time to play a few MEs before the end of the series. I have played a couple of minis like but with zero success.

Yeah, the mains are way too big for my BR aswell but the challengers are decent value.
Wouldn't mind playing the high roller, might try to sat into that, but usually never happens
What do you think of the quality of play between a morning and evening session, when I used to track my cash play on poker dominator and filter it between the two I had a much higher WR in the night as there's obv a lot more recs on at that time. Is this something you have noticed?
Wiiii just got a birthday card from Prio and they gave me £50. Bit early like cos my birthday aint till 4th November... it's not all runbad eh
=========================
Fairy, yeah games are definitely sorter at night there's no question about it. You can still get good games and good opponents in the morning but generally it's alot more reggy and plays alot tighter so you're beating people in a different way.
Just finished up my last session of the month +£100
So things are definitely starting to turn, running better helps but I've also made a couple of changes to my daily schedule which I think has really helped.
My first losing month since starting full time but C4P should cover most of that and pretty happy with the month's result given what I've played through this month. Roll on November where I'm finally gonna get round to trying to qualify for my first UKOPS ME. Will also being playing the £22 UKOPS Deepstack tomorrow night as a freeroll from a Prio promotion.
What do you think about this hand? Planned to call down on a lot of turns and rivers but then ended up getting a pretty sweet turn that puts me ahead of everything except quads. Should we raise turn now or flat, let him bet river then raise? Obv in this case he didn't bet river but we have position anyway so no danger of missing a bet either way.
If he has a FH (which is very likely imo) it's most likely to be 22-88 given the action pre so not sure if I can ever get more value with either line...
Played SO bad in the TOTP game tonight, was just mucking about/spewing lots and eventually shipped 16xBB from the BB facing a 3x from the BTN with Q2o (looool), Peter made a good call with 99 and despite a sweat he held and I was 1st out. Free tenner though and it was good fun
I don't think it's got a TV icon Phantom, I deffo don't think I've ever seen a hand from the TOTP SnG shown on TV anyway. I wasn't trying to rub you/anyone down showing bluffs or anything, I just said at the start of the game I would play the 'show game' for a bit of fun and showed every hand where I had the option to. In summary, I just played like a donkey lol.

Missed the first couple of minutes due to laptop and wifi issues at service station.
so didn't see the "show" warning. You did show absolutely everything - not just bluffs which I thought was unusual at the time - explained now though.
I never rise to shown cards just soak up the info and try not to react.
Does say in the lobby "may feature on tv" guess the lack of precedent suggests it won't

I find it pretty tough in the mornings especially on cash for the same reasons. This is why if i play in the morning or through the day up until a certain time i prefer other sites with a more universal (if thats the right word) player base - players from other countries with different time zones .
Do you ever do this or do you just stick with Sky?
I don't often play outside of Sky tbh. I do play some MTTs on other sites but that's just due to bigger prizepools/better structures and nothing to do with the standard being tougher at a particular time. I certainly don't play cash anywhere else atm.
It's just about switching it up, personally I don't think there's much difference in standard in the daytime for HU SnGs, or MTTs (and also I'd imagine DYMs although I dunno cos I don't play them), so sometimes I play them in the daytime or grind lots of sats for cash if it's a week when they have a lot on in the morning (UKOPS/double guarantee week etc).
When it comes to cash though, it's definitely beatable cos while it's a lot tighter, a lot of the people are bad tight players that you can exploit, so if I play cash in the daytime now I'll always play less tables so I can be more focussed on exploiting these people cos it requires different methods.
On the topic of playing cash on another site.... I'm considering playing somewhere else just for 1 month because there's places where I can get a 200% deposit bonus for a deposit up to $1k and like 50-60% rakeback, so thinking I could go take advantage, probably make $4k before any profit/loss from the games, and then just bring that money back to Sky.

Funny hand now that I've seen it back.
What are you both doing flop and turn?
I'd prob check back flop if I'm you, it's a wa/wb spot.
Got to bet the turn!
What does he c/call flop with? Ax & Kx? I'd be thinking almost exclusively Kx tbh, and we have the nut King.
Not 8x, no PP's and there's no draws!!!!
River standard.
"I run so bad"
all lies

Off to play some cash in a min
Nearly took you on in a couple of spots but felt with two sit-outs it wouldn't be +EV.
Glad I folded your shove with TP with 97 v your 98 though
I remember you pushed me off a hand with worse once (K9) I had KJ at least I didn't rise to the show of cards.
