although it doesn't look like poker it does have a poker theme to it, i call it football sats.
Tottenham v Brighton|Tottenham| @ 1.44
Chelsea v QPR|Chelsea| @ 1.17
Arsenal v Burnley|Arsenal| @ 1.25
Newcastle v Liverpool|Newcastle| @ 3.75
Manchester City v Newcastle|Newcastle| @ 13.00
all these sats i enter cost £5 and really they going to be played like a normal MTT as it's only 1st place that will get into the semi and quarter finals of UKOPs big events. so i've came up with a different way of doing it, betting on who will win football matches as their is some good odds this week and also some easy games to give the boost needed.
already i'm just 1 match away from the HR thanks to this £5 bet i made. chelsea and arsenal are both 99% certain leaving just my great NUFC team to do another great result, i did forget to add a few others that i was certain like barca and madrid because they would have given even more but still i will get £530 for just a price of £5 and HR hear i come.

actually i've make quite alot of these.
when you look at sky bet they giving great odds for the inform teams like newcastle and southampton, then ofcourse you can add the boosted odds because chelsea and arsenal both are sure to get the win.
another one i have high hopes for is this newcastle, arsenal, chelsea, southampton, everton, celtic, dundee and city plus already got chelsea southampton and spurs league cup games correct. their is even one which could win me back two grand.
Tonight i had a positive story with MTTs, i managed to get into the main event via semi, having got into the main i then get a great time in the main and came 48th.

whilst the start of a freeroll will offer no practice at all, i think the mid to late stages can be useful practice for MTTs because it's these that have the loosest callers, therefore i certainly need to think about my actions.
cash today was a different story altogether, i started off in a fairly bad way with coolers, then my evening session had a couple of tables where i might have went in too quickly and lost more than i should have done really.
poker seems to have been reversed, at the beginning of the monthit had been cash table winnings and MTT losses, now it's the cash tables that are losses and the MTTs that are winning.
The problem with cash is the fish are getting the hands and will then run off, the thing is there are very few fish about at the minute and the regs on my table at the minute seem to be boring ones.
MTT on the other hand are going great, i decided to direct myself into the main event and having did a direct buy in i manage to get past the bubble for the second night running as well as the main event i also had a prize in the orford as well, so with the UKOPS just around the corner this is a great time for my winning run in MTTs.
cash 16 winning days and 11 loosing days. my best day came with a win of £156.34, my worst day was a one with a loss of £105.61
Total overall £311 (£891.30-£513.89) and the average over the whole month (doesn't include off days) is £13.98.
MTT has been an awful one, number of days with a loss 24, number of days with a gain 4. MTT had a overall loss of £432.14 the average per day is -£15.32.
The best thing this month has to be my improvement in sit and gos, my total prize won this month in sit and gos is £65.60, i had 13 days play overall and so that averaged out at £5.05 per day.
overall my month has finished at a small loss of -£7.59, average of -£0.27
My mistakes now seem to be getting clear so my challenge this november is get myself back on track with MTTs and continue to build the BR on cash.

harry by the sounds of this post you made i'm guessing your an everton fan, if it's true you should get pardew as your manager that way you might be able to win games against 10 men. i did win that bet i posted but two of my big ones have been lost all because of that rubbish everton.

at 4 nl from what I've seen u do get calls quite a lot of calls no matter what the raise, with high hands high pairs I raise a bit more, but as u say still get some weird and wonderful calls.
always say though your money and you can call and do what u want... key is knowing when too fold which you did, in the long run you will be smashing this level I would say.
I found lambert180's 4nl vid quite useful and that where I got the bigger raise from that, high hands big raise and get the money building up. just know when too get away
saturday was another great day in MTTs with a deep run happening in the mini. My longest running treak on a cash table last month was 6 days in a row and those were all great cash runs, I then got 5 days of bad form (4 losses and 1 £3 win). They might have lots of skill involved but the MTTs do need more luck than cash does, now i've had a great run in MTTs recently and hope it continues, all i'm thinking now is the gods might be stopping now and looking for someone else.
Another story about the MTs might be that i want to avoid the good hands in the first hour becaus they give me a greatstack but it then gets the bad luck, 6000 was mine in the main when blinds were 30/60, i raised 2.5BB with AK OTB, BB with 2K calls the bet, flop came Ah Qd 7d BB went Ch/R 180/525, i decide to call turn comes Kc, BB goes Ch so i decide to shove and he calls with Jd10d and won, a board like this i'm thinking any set would bet again, so Jd 10d was the only hand i see making the Ch but even that i'm thinking will bet knowing how many two pairs and premium sets their are. things just kept getting worse, the mini now hand my good luck and i went on to finish 6th in that one winning a total prize of £107.47.
1 hand i had in the mini that might be questionable is this one,
As their were a number of short stacks i'm thinking UTG was either trapping with a monster or just wants to see a cheap flop, UTG+1's limp i rule out alll but the smallest pocket pairs straight away and believed it my hand is the sort with 30% chance of winning, SB just has the odds to complete his blind, when the BB then does a raise but leaves himself with 610 chips it looked like someone who is hoping to take down the pot now and has a weakish hand and can still therefore escape on boards that bring say an A or K, so the 5 might need trips but the 8 can still hit or it could be a 50 50 with him and the other shorty i'm sure now has either a very small pair, Ax or two broadway cards and that's what i expect to be story if the SB had called.
considering the pot now has 16BB, 20BB if the SB calls and knowing these short stacks are most likely holding Ax, weak pairs or broadway cards did i get the right odds to call?
Might be questionable? Limping along is the questionable bit, calling off effectively 2 shoves is just bad imo. They are very short and we are getting a half decent price but we'll be in such dreadful shape V their 2 ranges and it's still calling off like 25% of our stack with 8high pre.
meh it's more like 1/5 of our stack. Not a fan of the over limp, but think the others are so short that 85s won't play too badly vs their GII ranges at this stage. As played I think you should go for it.
The money won from my bet will be getting used in 5 UKOPS main events, the first being tonight’s, UKOPS 20KBH, for a chance of jackpot, on days of main event I’ll enter the mini as well.
Things such as side, micro and challenge events will all come down to how well i did through the day on cash.
My session this afternoon was a story about coolers, so things are not looking well for me yet. I did manage to get on the winning side of some coolers, the thing about my winning coolers was 2 were won against a short stacks of 40BB and 50BB, not every cooler wasdown to pure luck, AQ vs 98 on a board 962 9 9 i attempt to bluff a high pair on river and see a raise, I then choose to still call the last £11.58, weather or not it’s me thinking i should have over bet jammed to stat with i don’t know but what was known is he now would be ahead of me as too much was in the pot.

I am an optimist Craig and will use any excuse possible to justify my poor play, but this is definitely not a cooler!
This night is going to be a one that will be remembered for years because having had the awful form i've had over the last couple of months in MTTs never did i expect to see myself sitting there on the final table being HU. First of all i needed to get to the HR and that came from the very last all-in sat.
Once in the main event things started very well indeed, KK v 99 flop J5J and was Checked all round, called 270 on the turn (J) the on the river raised to 1800 a bet of 720, got called and so won a pot 4680 with JJJKK. Next i made a decent fold on the turn when i held As10s, i did send this hand in and asked weather i should call the raise on the flop and he said yeh, if a second 10 or an A did come on the turn i still think i would have folded it because i was already getting the sense that his range is straight sets or KsJs and most two pair combos might be concerned about AQ A10 A8 if an A came.
My next two hands were the ones which really made the difference as from then on i was chip leader or around that level for the rest of the tournament, first hand was a on which i think got more value than expected when 55 vs and AK flop set on rainbow flop Ad 8c 5s, he bet 525 i make a call T6d he bet 1100 i again call, R Kd he now over bet 5415 into pot 4300 i snap call and took it down. i could go on all night with coolers so i'll just leave the story their and now move onto some of my best bits of play starting with this J10s which i used in an attempt to look like an over pair that has gone ahead of other hand, the player in the chat seemed to think i held JJ so it was easier than i thought.

this one was a big risk, i previously saw him fold a large bet when i 3bet KK, the weak flop is what made me think he could be weak so i did a Ch/MR on the turn to then see if it was really a weak hand or in fact a monster discuised now he calls i sense a chance of taking it down

finally i even put chris moormanto a test at times
the hand of the night is this one, i took the chance hoping she might fold weak hands and i do have a flush draw and really the only dominating hand i see is AK or decent pairs.
