Feel like I have spent all day in the play park it's been so swingy!
I was down about £300 playing low stakes but have climbed back to about £100 down. Feels like a win.
Did Scotty ever give me a shout out on sky poker tv? Had footy on Tues night so couldn't tune in. If not, no probs Scotty, you can save it for when I hit 40k c4p this month :-)
How can I improve this thread? Not sure anyone is reading it so how can I spice it up? I want to try and avoid posting hands and getting into to much analysis. Could maybe include weekend mischief, winning/losing bets, live play etc etc...
Are you allowed to post pictures on here?
I must confess to playing abit of 40nl and 50nl. Just no action the later it gets. If the proposed bet I talked about would have gone ahead, I wouldn't have played mid stakes but just need some late night action.
Food and break time and might play a few more hours if I don't nod off.

I'm still reading and wishing you good luck! Take a leaf outta Tommd's book and tell us a bit about yourself? I'm guessing you're not new to poker? You can post pics yes but as always common-sense prevails.

It gets lots of views, but not as many replies as it deserves.
Agree with not posting hands or over-analysing stuff, so why not try telling us some stuff about yourself, some poker anecdotes?
Railway stories always go down well, I find, as do quizzes about Motorways, Bridges, Service Stations, the London Underground, famous people, good TV Presenters, or even Rich Orford.
BONUS TIME - if you send an e-Mail to tonight's Show ("skyopen@bskyb.com") I'll give you & your thread a shout-out.

I had to pull out of the Tuesday show due to being a bit ill. Will give you a shout out for sure next month tho....although looks like Tikay will get there first
Don't forget - send that e-Mail to the Show & I'll try & give you a shout-out. If I may suggest a means of ensuring it gets a mention, railway stories always help.......... Posted by Tikay10
Thanks for the shout out Tikay and Anna. You guys really know the site like the back of your hand and look forward to hearing more from you in the future.
Weekends are always tough for me to get the hours in. Footy and partying always seem to get in the way but I guess life is more important than 'kings of cash'.....just.
I had a quick chat with Haidyboy at the tables and he said I had inspired him to step up his volume and try to compete for the lower stakes leaderboard. I see he is actaully top and it's nice to know my thread actually inspired someone.
I have been playing badly and running badly the last few days so down quite abit.
The only time I've ever seen you come off autopilot is to berate someone for a hand you clearly didn't understand. This thread makes me understand why! Gl with the month, I admire your dedication and you seem like a decent chap.

I don't really think it's your call to say whether or not I understood a hand. You don't know the history between myself and various players for a start.
I think you will find the the strongest berate I have ever used is wp donk and most of the time it is followed with a smiley face. I have probably typed this 4 times in 40k hands. I have been called alot worse than that over the years.
Anyway, I appreciate the comment and promise not to type in the chat box again unless chatting when I'm winding down for the night and have less tables on the go.

In Response to Re: My first day at sky poker and my aim for the month is 45k points which will hopefully win me 'Cash King' and obvisouly Priority Club! : HAHA Posted by bolly580
I'm sure there are players out there that vouch for me when I say I'm genuienly a friendly poker peep. Although there may not be as I don't chat much.
I was thinking that disclosing my c4p was allowing my opposition to know exactly where they stand v me in the 'kings of cash' promo. Hmm not sure what to do now.... Any suggestions?
Have been losing bucket loads the last few days which while horrible for my bankroll it does mean I sit for hours upon end trying to get it back. I even missed a whole nights sleep one night. Haven't been to bed yet and its 8am but heading off shortly.
I'm not going to hit my 45k c4p mark but things may have been different if I had managed to take bets on whether or not I could do it. Obvisouly sky have there reasons for not allowing this.
I'd just like to add how friendly I have found the players, forumrites and sky poker staff/presenters. Big thanks to Tikay and Anna for mentioning me on their show. Thanks for being discrete with my identity Anna, it was very considerate of you although I really don't mind.
It's my girlfriend's birthday on Thursday so I need ideas on what to get her. I have no idea and no time to think about it. It's hard to think when all I can see is poker tables spinning around in my brain. She likes all the girly stuff and hates poker!
Aint played/chatted with you at the table but from what I've seen in this thread and other places you've posted, you seem like a nice guy so I wouldn't worry too much about the trolls above.
Was always gonna be tough to get 45k, but you've made a pretty sick attempt and there's still a good few days left yet, so I'm guessing you'll probably still get around 30k+ so to earn £1560+ just in C4P for only playing like 20NL - 50NL is pretty sick and it would take a seriously bad month for you not to have made a decent profit.
Take her away for the weekend or something, kill two birds with one stone, giving her a nice birthday treat and gets you a break from poker! lol

Thanks Lambert! I think you have slightly underestimated me, I will have 30k easily by the weekend. :-)
Yea, will have a decent profit and will give all the numbers near the end of the month.
I like your suggestion but the only problem is I play footy on the weekends and my manager does not take lightly to players missing games. Infact, he goes f*&kin mental!
Not sure of your poker history, but you have obviously been around a bit, Was just interested in what you thought of the standard on Sky and whether you intend to carry on playing here next month, and if so what challenge you might be setting yourself.

Was chatting to him for a while yesterday and he said sky have the worst players on any site.
I can't comment on that as I never really played alot on any other site.
Seems a nice guy, and I have not seen him berate any players at my tables.
This thread has really interested me from day 1 , a really interesting read , and to be honest it really doesnt matter whether you were to hit your target , narrowly miss out , or be 10k+ away from it . Your achievement IMO is already superb given the stakes you are playing at. Regardless of how the challenge ends up for you i hope you have a succesful stay with sky and look forward to donking off my stack to you at somepoint soon

Good luck with your challenge, you're doing a million times better than most of us thought you would do.
I say this because lots of new players come on and promise to achieve something and then disappear quicker than they arrived.
