Players have just gone off for their dinner in Brisbane, I've just made my 'tea' in South Yorkshire @ 2am!
Getting into this new sleeping routine, it's going to be a long night tonight.
Very big wicket just before the break, Trott and Cook gone, has to be the Aussies morning despite us polishing off the tail quickly.
This series has started like the last, bowlers on top, on seemingly flat decks! meh, c'mon KP after dinner!
---------------
Poker update for yesterday....
V unusual session.
I played HU sngs in France again, I was playing €10 hypers and lost my first 13 games in a row.
Moved up to €20 games, and after winning 1 and losing 1, I won 8 in a row!
HU = A momentum game!
I played abit on sky, think I lose 5 out of 6 games
Small losing day overall.
-----------------------
As I hinted above, my new playing hours will be 6pm until 3/4am from now until after Christmas.
Kinda excited about it, had a look around the sites today and I'm going to be spoilt for choice with MTTs!
Will include the Sky 6pm main event sat every session, with the intention of playing the actual event should I qualify.
Haven't played a Sky 8pm for maybe 18 months outside of Tuesdays Turbo night!
If I can stay awake tonight (feel good atm) then the new grind starts tomorrow, Donny on the tele against Yeovil (wont be a classic!!!) then onto the Ashes whilst trying to hit a big score in some big mtts!
For now though, over to you KP!
A run for every test cap you have will be nice, ty
GL all on the am grind!
Incredible session of cricket.
Have to admire Australias bowling outfit. Kept the England batsman down all summer on flat decks, and started the same way again here. Amazing performance, Mitch has the X factor for sure, brutal bowling.
It would've been hard enough staying awake, but the state of the game has made my decision easier.
Early night for me!
Glory hunter !!!
Hope to wake up to better news from the evening session!
Mega rain maybe?
I've gone into my email and I've had a notification, something about a £25 bet on the cricket?
I've not heard anything about it. Is it a matched bet? Does it have to be on a specific market?
I haven't had any real bets.
Maybe go with the series to be a draw @ 4/1 ?
Most of the markets are suspended as it's mid test at the moment.

Good game Jonny, must've been an honour for you as a United fan to share a final able with SirFergie!
& thanx to Alan, Geldy and some others for sticking around to rail. (memory is abit blurry)
It's a shame I couldn't run good for 5 or 10 minutes longer in the main too
Apparently the FT was shown on the show, if anyone knows when it's repeated can you let me know plz. Have had a look in the TV section of the forum but it doesn't appear to be on today, and there's no listings for tomorrow onwards.
Good luck all playing today.
Think Jackko is being very kind to 1 of us ! :P
Thanx again all
Decided to get greedy and remind myself how I bust the main.
Think it's standard, although the mystery ICM thing might mean it isn't with 10 left, pay jumps, shallow average etc.
Sigh.
Thought a mini win and a 6th/5th in the main would be about 50/75 quid. haha.
Wish I hadn't seen that.
Maybe if I'd already had the mini won I nit fold the KTs and try to ladder.
Think there were about 20 left in the mini when I bust the main though and I was midfield.
Nevermind.

On Winning the mini
Outstanding!
Thanks for posting that up Geldy, I managed to get the show recorded.
And thanx for the congrats Henrik

Haven't updated as much this month as I did last, so as it's the end of the month, and tomorrow will mostly be spent donking around and donating to the bookies rather than grinding, I'll put up a quick month summary.
I don't keep track of my results, don't use spreadsheets or anything, so I don't know for sure but Nov was probably 1 of my best months so far this year.
Results from the 3 main sites I play on are shown in the link below, along with my monthly sky graph.

Might be too small to read, but combined profit over 3 sites is around $2.4k
The HU sngs continued to go well on here, holding down a 16% roi over a 220 game sample @ £15 avg stake.
I did plan to go back playing HU abroad, which I did abit, but I wanted to finish my October target, and things were going so well it seemed daft to change.
Obviously the stats are made to look a lot more flattering with the mini 'bink'. It does help boost the numbers winning a sizeable mtt as opposed to grinding effectively 2 player dyms.

December will be much of the same.
I do have 1 small target left that I want to achieve before the end of the year.
It's only a small/ego thing, but I'd like to finish on the top30 of the leaderboard for sngs in 2013.
I started the year playing them, took some shots which went terribly, so I 'gave them up' when around $650 down, until I started the October challenge.
Things went much better than I could ever imagine, and I'm within touching distance of my old HU sng nemesis 'ellison' in 30th place. (I'm sure they used to only award stars to top 20?)
He's just under +$2k for the year, I'm around +$1.6k, so I'm going to try and chase him down.
Not really a big deal, but something to aim for I guess.
Updates will probably be sparce again, unless something unusual happens. Blogging about HU sngs isn't the most exciting thing for people to read.
As ever thanks for reading & contributing to the thread throughout Nov!
Hope you all had a good month @ the tables, if not, still time to turn it around!
gl all playing over't'weekend !
don't know who they were trying to protect: you, me, Tikay or the viewers
so here it is - my first ever bluff on skypoker*
just so used to seeing you do this to others just wondered if you were up for a taste of your own medicine
You were drawing dead to a chop
I fancied calling, but wouldn't have enjoyed the inevitable chunky river bet to follow!
Good luck with your SnG challenge Dohhhhhhhh, i'm sure you can do it.
