It was good!
Wednesday night is my favourite night on Sky Poker, as I can play the 7pm tikay Sleepie, & the 8pm Double Stack Main Event.
Only 25 runners for the "tikay" last night, so only 3 paid, & I came up just short after my K-K (AIPF) got bested by A-Q which caught trip Queens, so no complaints, it played itself. A remarkable comeback in that young Dylan, who was near-felted early, clung on to finish 2nd, well done him.
The oddest hand arose early doors when I popped it up with 3-3, & two players behind me, both O-O-P, smoothed it with big hands! Neither liked the A-high flop, so I managed to win it, heaven knows how. They went on to finish 2nd & 3rd, whilst I finished out of the money in 5th!
I also played the 8pm Double Stack, & I HAD to outdo Rich Orford, as we had a prop-bet L-L. I took a chance or two early doors to put myself n a position to go deep, & got lucky, eventually finishing 35th or similar for a small cash, but more importantly, winning the all important L-L. Nice Tourney, that Double Stack, which runs on Friday, too, though on Friday it's £16.50 against Wednesday's £11.
Nobody was on the 25-50 Omaha Tables after that, so I gave them a miss. A shame, as I like to end the day with a spot of Omaha cash.
Lost around £45 last night, i know its nothing major but with a starting balanace of around £170 it was a fair chunk. Was playing above my limits really, altho i dont play to any % I just deposit a small amount a month and when thats gone i stop playing for a month. Only deposited £20 thismonth so had been gonig along nicely till last night.
Was playing 10p/20p nl on Rich's table against loads of diff regs, and they all had the beating on me, even lml (sorry onlyjoking
Normaly when I loose at cash i go find a dym and get my money back, but normally its a £11 or £22, but as id lost more this time i went to join a £55 one. Thankfully at the time nobody was registered, I joined waited a couple of minutes, thoguht to myself what the hell am i doing, and deregistered. I went and withdrew £100 straight away because i knew i was gonig to blow it, if not at poker at sky vegas.
So now im left with £29 to play with, not sure whether to play some cash, or just go for the big one tonight, im just happy I wtihdrew the money last night ratehr than blowing it. I know its sad having to withdraw it because I dont trust myself.
Good luck tonight everyone

Mixed reviews of last night, went out of the open early doors. I got loose call after loose call for the first 15mins but couldn't connect with a board and couldn't Cbet anyone off(shouldn't of trying on my table to be honest). Multi way pots to every flop i saw (and i was betting big nough to drive weak hands out) so i couldn't get anything going. Things didn't run my way and after getting it all in with AA i had 3 callers, one of which had 66 which tripped and then quadded just to rub some salt.
I'd had to buy into the main event from the £50 or so i had in my account as i sucked so badly in the satalites that i should of just given up there (never one to head my own advice though i bought in direct and promtly shiped my chips to my loose table lol)
I decided to do the rest of my free money (all of about £35 left at this point) on some cash tables. Picked up a couple of buy ins at low level and finished the night about £25 in front which is nice.
So now my account sits at about £73 and for fun i'll try and spin that up a bit more tonight. Using the classic BRM rule of putting 25% of my roll on each table, i think i'll throw some around on 10p - 20p 20NL tables lol
(before someone adds some bankroll managment advice to this for me, this is not my bankroll this is just some free money Sky kindly donated via the tko for me lol)
I'm going to start with the £80 GTD at 5:15 i think and play a main event satalite to see how my luck holds.
Wish Me Luck
I like you now have a very measly amount left in the account, but like yours mine is all free money and i intend to either spin it up or have a laugh spining it down lol
I'd go for a sat into the main event with your £29 and then you can still have some cash fun later if you qualify
Well played last night Seagull, it was FUN FUN FUN. I have put a poll up in the sky poker tournament thread so please go and have a look see.
(it was a bit of fun one about the deepstacks but has now been moved to AREA51!!!....LOL)
I often play that 7.15 - simply because it's as friendly a comp as you will find anywhere.
I'm sorry MAX - someone got whooshed badly.
I'll drop them a note immediately & try to get it restored to it's rightful place.
£410? Nice Pot!
A decent ending to a mixed day - can't beat it.

A very, very enjoyable game, but I have to blame Barry for waking-up 'the man'. We were all sailing along nicely up to that point, then 'he' awoke, remembered where he was, and ripped the table to pieces.
Very well played sir, a lesson to us all. I just wish I could have made more of the H2H but the preceding 32 deuces ( I counted them in the HH afterwards ) left me rather short unfortunately. It would have been nice to have a protracted heads up with you.
ps. I have now moved all rag Aces up in my hole-card values. The mighty A6os is now firmly placed at the top. ;o).......... Oh! ..... and the Dolly Pardon (Parden, Pardan) move was outrageous.
Got it back with interest this morning 8)
Such a fun game, obviously wasn't as fun last night, tho!
Will play the sat tonight for the main event and then back to some micro and low level cash. Should be fun though im not expecting my good run to last
I entered the big one at 8pm and the Orfordable too, but we had surprise guests at 6.30 and I had to withdraw from the Orfordable. I left my entries for the later two thinking I might get in before my chips disappear. The blinds were too quick for me in the 8pm so got online with only 800 left and crashed out at the first opportunity.
Tonight's the night......... hopefully.
Still bought into the main event and looked forward to a good nights pokering. The girlfriend then said she wanted pizza so had to pop out to pick it up leaving her in charge of the first few hands. Came back to find i was allready 500 chips down. Picked off a couple of players and was happy to see at the start of the first break my name was top of the chip list.
The night wore on and after about 2 hours play I had made it to the money albeit in about 40th place the game carried on and I eeked out a few more hands and then another hour went by and we made it down to the last 10 still virtually bringing up the rear as it were.
Midnight comes and goes now 4 hours in and the final table looms out of the distance 1 or 2 big stacks and 4 mediocre ones play as few hands as possible and made them pay and we aare down to five and i think at this point I have the chip lead for the first time in the tourney since that one point pre the first break about 3.5 hours back.
I ship a few chips and player to my right makes some moves and clears the two bottom stacks skinnyribs and zzcop. We are now down to three and the cards are not treating me well until JA runs in front of me at which time i probably make my big mistake of the night there is always one just does not usually cost as much. Big stack raises me and i'm stuck in the hard position. The blinds are now 40k iirc so i probably have about 5bb left and should really push this but instead call him. Flop comes down rag five six so i push he calls with 78 and hits the eight on the river
Next hand big stack has his AA cracked and i believe went on to lose the heads up.
I do really like the £4k and £7k DS tournies.
Managed to cash for 37th place of 663 in the £6k Saturday Open. I struggled all the way through this and was playing short stack poker throughout. I think I made more steals in this than I have all week. Not a pleasant way to have to play but all good practice.
Later I played in the £400 BH and again I was Mr Shortstack for almost the entire ride and scraped 3rd Place!!!!!! but with only one bounty to my name. Still, a healthy profit there then.
I also played the Orfordable earlier in the evening and only missed the bubble by a couple of places ..... Damn it!! I was on target for two 'bubble boy's' in a row there! (my record for bubbling is 4 in a row btw). I found it difficult to give it my full attention as I was struggling in the Open, and had to prioritise. But as always a nice tournament to play in with friendly banter throughout.
I had a profitable night overall and 2 cashes from 3 played, so no complaints here.
You'll need to remind me as to what tournament that was. I suck-out on so many players in the course of a tournament that it's impossible to remember them all.
If you don't play anything else this one is a must ........ well said pod. I don't know why this doesn't have a field of 100 every night, the table chat alone is worth a fiver..
