Hey Dev, Really sweet you decided to concentrate on cash, to work at it and improve. You have came a good distance in the time you started playing cash. Previously, you had done really well at DYM games. I was just wondering, would you find it to much of a distraction if playing both games, instead of just focussing on one? Do you find it helps just playing one discipline? Posted by LARSON7
hi mate, playing just 1 discipline for me is optimal,as my mind is 100% focused with the game in hand. I could probably play both but I think for me anyway it's one or the other. winning at either is hard enough as it is, so why mix the two. dym's are my best of the two by far profit wise and playing cash is all about the long term.
Hi Dev, How come you are avoiding the promo? Posted by calcalfold
hi ccf, I really didn't think playing in it would be profitable for me,atm. playing 9+ tables at nl10 for a week against all the reg's is not my idea of fun. I could have easily blown my £350 b/roll or a good part of it anyway,in the process,and I wasn't going to take the risk. "I might be silly...but I 'ain't that silly"
monday 10/6/13 still can't find any descent nl10 tables to play,so... plan B at *** won $1.89 2 x 1c/2c b/roll $16.00 (up $9 in 3 sessions) lol steady. back here tomorrow,if no value about,then it's continue with plan B dev Posted by devonfish5
My absence from the tables most of the day being the sole reason for that dev lol.
Why not just grind 4nl as atm your playing like 0.75p-1.5p whereas you could be building your sky roll by multitabling 4nl, also there is always value at the 10nl tables you just have to work out the best way to exploit, get back on the nl10 grind and start crushing!

Posted by benc
lol
yeah,could play nl4 Ben,still a lot of descent players even at the lowest level we have, plenty of players at that level that are easily good enough to be playing at nl10 imo. not only that I don't enjoy playing nl4,and never have tbh,probably more to do with playing there so much in the past...and struggling for so long. ha ha. so that's not an option for me now.
get what you say about there being value at nl10 mate,but when I see players like cash_daddy tintin yourself and others playing on every table,that for me atm anyway isn't good value. yes,i could play against you all,but without any edge, so what's the point. yes, I would improve my game by playing I guess,but would I win? maybe in time.
i'll continue looking for value and if there isn't any then i'd simply rather play elsewhere for the moment.
i'm only playing 1c/2c atm, as I only deposited $7. once I get my b/r up to $40/$50 i'll move up to 2c/4c then at $100 again move up to 3c/6c and at $200 to 5c/10c. I am in no hurry in building my b/r up, either here at Sky or anywhere else I play. to me it's all 'a game' and I enjoy the challenge that comes with it. I've always taken my poker one day at a time,and I always go with my 'gut instinct' and go with what that tells me. atm,it's telling me I need a break.my normal poker arm is still sore,(think it's RSI...repetitive stress injury) and it looks like it's going to take some time to heal,another reason why i'm only playing 2 tables atm, and why i'm playing less and with my opposite hand too.
anyway,that's all for now.
looks as though you are crushing it atm,so very well played Ben. keep it up mate. best wishes, dev
lost connection after just 10 mins so called it a night...was midnight..ish.
b/roll £365.76
*********************************
sunday 16.6/13
lost £50 (bet on schwartzel at us open golf... to finish top 3 @ 10/11. was co-leader starting final round.)
b/roll £315.76
***********************************
Monday 17/6/13
withdrawn £215.76
b/roll £100
decided I needed a change as i'm just not enjoying my poker at the moment.(only played 3 sessions so far all month). also with all these cash promo's on atm,just can't seem to get myself motivated to play the same old players all the time.
left £100 in account just in case I change my mind again at some point or more likely re-build playing some DYM's. lol
so,ended up about £15 down from my starting b/roll of £330 at the start of this year,which I guess I can live with,when taking everything into account.
what next? still playing cash on another site,so putting all I've learnt so far this year to good use at least,so I've not completely wasted the past 5-6 months.
tonight won $8.28 b/roll $27.47 (up $20.47) 6 x 1c/2c
going to hopefully continue building this b/roll up and work my way up the levels. i'll post the occasional up-date,for anyone that cares to read it.
didn't achieve all my targets that I set myself,namely the £500 target,but i always follow my heart and my instincts,and i feel i am making the right move here. I've learnt plenty this year learning how to play cash,and even though my b/roll hasn't gone forwards,i think my game has certainly improved immeasurably, which i am happy with.
a BIG THANK YOU to everone that has helped me on this journey. there are so many of you,too many to mention,but you all know who you are,so thank you very much.
just would like to finish by thanking _ARAZI_ for all your help and support mate,it was and is very much appreciated,i have learnt so much from you and i'm sure our friendship will continue.
so, that's it for the moment. hope you all enjoyed sharing the highs and lows of the past 5-6 months with me. i'm sure this story will continue.... ?
good luck to everyone out there, be lucky

The most important thing is your cash game has came on a heep.
So, i'll ask you the same question you asked me, what is the money being spent on?:P Something nice i hope lol
I'm a bit similiar, the constant promos have diminished cash on here (imo) it's not that fun anymore.
I've also joined another site, and have been playing a bit on there. I play on the cam tables (you can only play on one of these at a time) and it's a really good laugh. The poker is pretty bad at the level i'm playing 3/6 but most importantly it's good fun and you get good banter with the other people at the table.
I've done the same thing, taken most of my "bankroll" out of sky. £50 has went into the other site, and i've kept about £40 on sky the rest is there if i ever want to redeposit on here. But, i'm in no rush for that. Right now, i'm really enjoying poker, messing about a bit, not taking it 2 serioussly. Loved Est's thread "20 quid to a decent profit" and seen there was another thread where someone is doing really well with a starting stack of £40/50 quid and is already into the 100s, and also Waller as well, starting with £50.

hi mate, yes i'm really happy with my cash game atm,and as you say it's come on a heep.
nothing i really fancy buying atm,but if i see something i fancy,i'll buy it. lol
glad you are enjoying yourself mate,i think that has to be high up there doesn't it. i mean it's all well and good making money,but if it's not enjoyable too,then is it really worth it. not played on any of the cam tables as i haven't the equipment,but i'm sure it is good fun,as you say...maybe i day. lol yeah,plenty of good diaries going atm so i'll still be here to keep an eye on things. best wishes mate, i'm sure i'll see you soon. dev
Hope you do update, ill keep reading. Shame the promos ruined it for you as you sounded like you enjoyed sky poker, hope it goes well for you on another site.
