Ok last couple of days have been painful some horrible cards and rivers and was losing a bit of faith and br was slowly depleting to the point where i was down nearly £100. I don't think i played so well on a number of games as was tilting a fair bit. The crazy players were out and calling every thing and hitting there 2 outters. DYM games i didn't do that well in and mtts i did but ended in a car crash each time. I managed to final table 4 mtts this evening and 1 earlier today. Thankfully cashed nicely in the early hours of this morning by taking down a £200 gar, I was running over it like a steam roller until the hand below happened and thought id end up getting a 3rd but some how clawed it back and got the win. This is why i love mtts so much because i can grind all day with dyms but binking an mtt is so satisfying and bumps up your br so much quicker.
My other half is away for a few days so ive got lots of time to play more poker without feeling guilty of neglecting her and gonna be trying to satellite into the roller if i can. I'm looking forward to the Jubilee hu game on sat too. I'm so glad that variance does swing the other way and its sometimes hard to remember that it does when you are running bad so for anyone that is going through it never give up because it does change.
To sum up the month i really didn't expect to take on the dym's and found that i am not that bad at them, even though im still not a big fan as they do get a little boring, but as long as i mix it up with my favorite choice which is mtts i can still enjoy poker while making a steady increase in my br and C4P which i well execeded in terms of how many i got to.
At the start of this month i only started with a br of £20 and tried to stick to a strict br management which ive never been so great at and dipped into the bad br management the last 2 days, so really annoyed with myself for that. But overall i have noticed a much better player in myself because of it and tried to grind and grind until i was at a point i felt comfortable to move up a level. Reading other players diarys has really spurred me on and given me ideas to how best increase my br and feeding off of others knowledge and experiences has really helped no end. I've learned so much this month and hopefully will take that into next month, this is why i think i always come back to sky because the forum is a great place to center your thoughts process and have fun playing poker with all the team stuff that goes on and banter about the game we all love.
Ive enjoyed the sun and done some gardening and planted some grass seed i just hope it takes because last year i did it and bought grass feed not grass seed and after putting that down the packet said do not put grass seed on for another 6 months after dohhhhhh (i never read the labels just looked at the picture on the box).
This month is going to be a lot of fun with the Euro 2012 and England winning maybe!!!! well i can dream!. I actually got a bit of work and will be payed £200 for an hours work so im hoping things are on the up after a bad year for me. I know its a quiet period for poker but im gonna be grinding away and hopefully getting a big binkage next month ya never know. If i do id definitely like to go to an SPT but at the moment i need a healthier br before i do that. The world series of poker is very soon and looking forward to that and hope that the guys representing skypoker will do well and ill be routin for them. Not sure how im going to tackle next month and may put a pole up letting you decide what format i should be playing.
Anyways i should be off ta bed now so ta ta for now

when this happend didnt expect too win it and too be fair i shouldnt of been raising and calling a raise utg either so my own fault but hey im not perfect. And i got away with a lucky escape in the end.
ok so today ive been trying to get into the high roller games and ive played quite a few and final tabled all of them i got through to the semi on the 20k roller was near the end in 2nd place have pk A raise get reraised so i shove they call and i lose to pk 6s, its absolutely ridiculous how many times ive seen pk As beat today its got to be around 20 or more times by myself and other players that ive seen, one guy even had pk As lost with them then next hand gets pk As again and lost with them. I also was near the money in the 12k bounty had pk Js against pk 4s wadda ya know i lose again. I really dont wanna go down the route of the rng but seriously it aint natural.
As the owner of the aforementioned 44 I did feel a little guilty. I reckon it was your chips that were unlucky, as I lost them pretty quick. Luckily mine were more loyal and I managed to cash in 23/434.
But you know mtt variance - can be brutal - but you'll swing good again for sure, I mean you're getting pretty close even on your bad runs.

no need to feel guilty geldy (hey that rymes lol) glad you cashed you did nothing wrong i just cant believe the amount of times ive seen pk As lose today its crazy! i mean for the best starting hand in the deck they arnt much cop on here. Yea i get bad runs and i get lucky myself and beat the players with pk As but i just cant understand how its every single time i see them and i wasnt exagerating when i said i saw them beat 20 times. Same with pk Ks, i know its just a pair and i know varience can be a pain in the backside but seriously it just dosnt feel right to me. Its always when someone shoves first and you end up calling and low and behold you see your way ahead and boom boom boom they hit everything. I think the hampster turning the wheel has a gammy leg. Even as i type i just had pk As and guy hits 2 pair on the flop with Q6off but finaly i actualy win with them and board pairs lol (its a miricle).
In the VLV final I had AA - min raise called by the BB - he had 2 prs on the flop on which we are allin - luckily I bink another A, but otherwise I would have been history.
Tonight in the miniBH I shove with my 1010 on a 9 high flop. I'm insta-called by the AA. Runner runner 10 10 for quads. You didn't stand a chance with only JJ against my 44.

yea i remember that one lol. For some strange reason as soon as it turned midnight and the last day of the month is over everyone is winning with pk As now, Gremlins me thinks lol just had AK hit the K on a flop JK5 and he wins with a Set of Js so big pk pairs are safe now AK is the one to watch out for
Did well in this and at the end had AK hit the A aginst short stack and they hit a gut shot st8 then got knocked out after i hit my Rag A in the bb against a limper holding AK lol
whoooooooohooooooooo just managed to qualify for the 5k bounty hunter got the £110 ticket for £5 after making a quater and semi.
As well as being in that im in the jubilee hu game tomorrow so i could be up for some very nice binkage.
Ive tried and tried to get in the 20k game and final tabled every single game but just cant seem to do it. Im still gonna keep at it though as this month i wanna cash big for a change last month i did the grind this month i wanna win something nice.
Had a go on the open tonight and this was horrible way to go out so didnt bother rebuying.
hi geldy yea ty i got 3 bounties in it but really gutted as went out in 7th place it paid 5, was doing so well for first half of the game and in 1st place but short stacks got so lucky every time i had a pk pair! was so close to the money and went out with the hand below which was pretty sick and again i could see it coming. Oh well cant grumble good roi for £5 buy and not a bad day in all. Hope i can get a cash in the Jubilee hu game tomorrow.
well after a bad day of trying to satellite into the roller and playing in the 2k jubilee hu game and doing terrible also playing the main and getting no where. Its cost me quite a bit in terms of buy ins to get nowhere. But i always seem to put one in the back of the net by the end of the night with a bink so got most of it back. Prob to lose it all again tomorrow lol.
Still took a bit of time out to see England just about win, was a loverly goal and the guy who did the shoving of our player should of been sent off. Just finishing off with one of my favorite late night mtts the £750 bounty hunter which i must say has a great structure compared to the roller sats hmmmm!! Then im gonna call it a night as the other half is back tomorrow and i have to do a spot of midnight cleaning. Ive also been checking out to see if the grass seed ive planted is doing anything and like my br its not really doing anything exciting yet but we had some rain today and tomorrow may show signs of growth.
ok so i haven't made it into the 20k roller and iv given up now but iv made it into the 5k bounty hunter for the second time running this week for less than a fiver. Just bought in direct for £4.80 for a £110 ticket so hopefully will cash in this one. I did get 3 bounty's for £131 in the last one and came 7th but it paid 5 so hopefully no bubble and a win or top place cash ya never know. Not only that but my C4P is bumped up very nicely because of this satelliting into the big mtts.
I was just wondering about the really big mtts that go on around the world with the World series of poker about to start. Sky have had satellites and tornys to get into it which is wonderful, but will sky ever do any of the other big tournaments like the EPT or UKIPT and such like. They have the skypoker tour but having prizes for these major tornaments i think would be a great addition to the site and also bring a lot more traffic here and a great advertisement if we had skypoker players at these big events. You see players that do play in these events advertising the sites they play on which ovb reaches out to players to consider which sites they come from. Is there a reason they don't do it or do they have plans for this in the future do you think?
