    Absolutely ran a cash table aearlier for a few hours.
    Really enjoying poker again now after going through a slightly odd time at the tables, where I was getting supper tilted.
    I have purchased David "Devilfish" Ulliotts book, absolutely brilliant read, showing how he lost so much to gain far more is inspirational. Not really much to do with poker in the book, but I find it calms me lol.

    So anyway sat at an nl20 table for around 4 hours earlier on, played really well. Not once did I get it all in behind, I made some big folds. One fold was pretty painful to make but I donked around on the turn and made my own problems. I will post it below!

    I only lost over £5 in a hand once but won so often. I managed to get paid off lightly so many times, so was extremely happy with my play and left the table with a stack over £175 which is a massive profit.
    My mentality completely changed today, I was not thinking how can I win every hand, I was playing more along the lines of "How can I lose the min here" Kinda thing. It worked and I felt I played a strong consistent game.

    Hopefully this is the start of things to come!

    I just looked at your sng results, and they aren't great. Any reason why your results aren't great at them, in comparison to mtt's which you seem to crush..

    Hi guys for those that are interested I am going start back up again on SKY I went through a period of playing on different sites again but always end up back on here! I haven't had the greatest of times at the tables on different sites so hoping to come back home and start playing well again.

    I have decided to set myself a challenge like others on here and deposit a small amount and grind small MTT'S and sats. Reason being as I had a few big wins and lost all BR management and bought into everything and anything which caused me to become very bored of the game and completely lose my respect for money.

    I haven't decided how much I will deposit yet but likely be around the £50 mark and will take it from there!

    If anyone is interested in doing this with me or is doing something similar already let me know

    Quick update I decided to play a load of tourneys yesterday at all different levels as I completely disregarded what I said in a prev post.
    Ok I have left it so I have exactly £50 available! My aim is to do what GARYQQQ has done and grind it up whilst staying completely focused on BR management!!!

    I will play sats and small tournaments and maybe the odd sng if it shows value (maybe DYM's) I will not play cash at any level apart from NL4 which will be a big test for me.

    I have also got a cashing challenge with Larson which will be documented in his diary if anyone is interested!

    Wish me luck guys I will keep you informed!

    Came across you a few times yesterday, like me took a few knocks in the sats, nearly made primo.
    But i managed to profit on the day in dyms.

    GELDY - Yeah I just went to another site only because they done specific al female fields so I found good value in them as an MTT player. But they structure all female tourneys like turbos (although they don't call them turbos) so value was harder to take advantage of as it become a shovefest at level 3 lol!

    I played the Primo last night and finished mid 30's I sat in which was nice but gutting as I went out with 2 very poorly played hands on my behalf.

    Tomo unlucky on not getting in, I managed to sneak in at the end of the day so got in both but didn't run well in the mini at all!
    I am sure I will see more of you if you enjoy the sats

    Hey Kalie,

    Hitman mentioned you were part of The Hitsquad before you went away from Sky for a bit. Assuming you're still cool with being in the team, then you can let them know on the DTD thread that you're actually in THS and not independent :)

    Lovely stormy day down here! Hope everyone has enjoyed a slightly cooler day as I certainly have, I definitely prefer the rain to the sun.

    I have been taking advantage of all these sats on the site and even some freerolls recently, absolutely excellent value in some, also great structures well done SKY!

    I had a pretty poor comeback in the DTD but to be honest I have never really run well in the 3 tournaments. I will try to play them every week so I get a good chance of winning the prizes on offer.

    Enjoying playing back on SKY I definitely prefer the 6 max tables, although I think the forum/clinic is a lot weaker in numbers than it used to be which is a shame.

    Shout out to Lambert180 absolutely awesome to grind from nl4 to where he is now, I am sure most people have expressed their well dones by now but I have been away so WELL DONE :)! I think it's excellent and the diary you have made is great for new starters to read to draw inspiration from!

    I'm going to play the turbos tonight so hopefully see a few of you there, gl at the felt!!

    Not a bad evening at the tables, I managed to get 1 final table but only lasted 1 hand on it! That was the mini ME so not a bad return just a shame I probably could of laddered but have no patience for laddering.

    Got completely owned in a hand in a £11 BH at midnight flop came 8 4 3 rainbow I hold QJ it goes check check next card a T I bet he calls last card a 7 I bet big he hero calls ace high "sigh"

    Not really happy with my standard of play tonight, so a lot to work on but nice little boost to BR to allow a higher volume of sats for tomoz!

    Hope you all had a nice evening, it is a bit cooler so should get some sleep tonight!!
