    Thanks all. 

    @Jordz, I've no real interest in league 2, (at least not until Donny end up playing therre next season) but I really like the other 3. That's looking the favourite bet so far. 

    @Chris, of those 4 options, trying to improve you as a player is by far the easiest, I'd even go as far as to say it's the only 1 that would even be possible for me to do. 

    It would still be pretty unlikely though, my past attempts at (unofficial) coaching/helping others out haven't gone well. (See Don)

    A jackpot score could be possible, but it would have to be a Tuesday, and I'd only get around 25/30 shots at it a year. So it's a pretty tough ask and very much out of my control. Would need to run insane etc. 

    Back to the drawing board :(

    PLO husngs
    Timed mtt
    Hyper hu

    Etc 

    A few hundred of each and see if you can beat em all at a given buyin.

    Thanks phantom, welcome to the thread!

    Struggling abit to answer your question.

    I enjoy poker, especially recently, becasue it's something I can win at. 

    If there was no money involved, I would hardly ever play, so money is definitely a motivating factor, but just winning albeit at a very modest level continues to be satisfying. 

    I don't like playing too low, and I hate playing higher up (because I always lose) but I can play most games/formats at a reasonable level where the money is significant but not a big deal win/lose/draw. 

    I'm playing mainly MTTs at the moment, accross a few sites, my average buy in despite being rolled for most comps is around $5/6. I like playing games I win at, winning feels good and brings in a few £, losing makes me feel cr@p and is expensive!

    Would like to play more sky mains, pretty sure I'd be profitable in them but again despite being rolled I'd hate forking out £33 or £55 to play them. I wouldn't enjoy the experience. 

    If I can bink an all in sat (real sats r too much hard work) then I love playing the £33 mains and £55 turbo BH with no real pressure, it's much more enjoyable that way. 

    So after a load of waffle, it's a combo of money, and intrinsic rewards from being moderately successful that encourage me to keep playing. 

    @Jim, how many of the skybet lads have pmd you to suggest that as a goal?

    I reckon breaking even over 25 days is a tall order for me !

    haha Chris. I see you glossed over my comment about previous coaching exploits ending in disaster !!!!

    Have you ever played HU sngs? 

    That's the only format I'd feel comfortable offering any sort of solid advice on nowardays, and only at small stakes. 

    If you're intersted in learning the game maybe we can do something :)

    I did try them.for a little when there was the heads up challenge on the thread. Went out first round :(

    I play them sometimes but there is massive improvment needed in heads up play, im not confident heads up at all.  Even at final tables on mtt's i always feel 2nd will be the place for me because of this.

    I tried multitabling hu hypers and 6 tables where far too much lol. 

    Would you say there is good profit to be made in HU games?

    I think mainly, although i dont play it much a low levels is cash games, i enjoy tye mastercash very much and get on the table when i can when its on, i really enjoy 20nl and would say ive won more than ive lost at this level but its only an hour a time during live shows.

    Id love too sit here with 4 or 5 tables at this level... but not to focussed on that at the minute with my roll.

    If i get a half decent win in an mtt then i could have a stab at it mabye.

    I'm way out of touch with how the cash games play nowardays. 

    I occasionally dabble, and am probably not much above break even this year at levels I used to crush pretty hard. Albeit a really small sample of 'sessions'.

    The games have totally changed, theres no way I'd be able to help you beat them without alot of help myself. And it's really not a very fun proposition lol. 

    I'd focus on something more fun, HU sngs are definitely profitable. I'll get a graph of my HU games only posted up shortly. 

    6 tabling hypers is rather ambitious though. I much prefer playing only 1 table, 2 absolute tops. 

    Think of them as a 2 player dym, ofc they're profitable ;)

     Couple of good cashes, 

    Came 3rd in the 350 bh last night which was good, tried a couple of sats for the main, no luck there.


    Then all the allin sats for 1500 speed bh, seen u done well in one but not sure if u won it or not.

    Then lost a buy in a 20 nl then put the rest of my roll on at 40nl, and left with a profit on that. Overall back too the same 50 i started with so a night of free poker.


    So wheres thus hu graph. What stakes would u say too start with. The lowest?

    Thanks golds, you too bud. 

    Chris, I've got the graph of one of the sites most successful HU sng players instead.


    Pretty awesommmeeeeeeeeeeeeee right. 

    Doesn't really matter where you start tbh, all the low stakes games are very soft with very few if any regular winners. 

    It's more important to learn the theory and get a game plan in place than it is to make money at first. Then you can use what you've learnt to go out and win at whatever stakes you feel comfortable playing. 

    I'd suggest turbos or speed games at first, should get alot of spots and learn how to play different stack depths quicker than play hypers or reg speeds. 

    I'll give you a few games over the weekend at small stakes if you want? 

    -----------------------

    Had a run in the main last night. 

    I was in 2 minds about buying in, it was only yesterday morning I posted here about being reluctant to buy in direct to main events, but I was well up on the day, feeling good, and it was a huge/soft field so made an exception.

    All my tables were great throughout. 

    Was going good itm when I had a really ughhhh hand. 

    As played I don't think I could do anything about it. I've heard being risk averse and taking low variance lines in sky mtts is the way forward but I just have to go broke the way this hand went.

    Great day overall, feeling good in the games and playing really well.

    Wish I could keep the momentum going over the weekend but tradesmen are going to stop play :(

    May have to 2 table to jackpot glory tomorrow night whilst watching the boxing :)

    GL all over the weekend.

    NOW THATS A LINE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!!!

    where as mine does the opposite :)

    im definitely up for some games, as I said only dabbled a little with them and basically if I had a pair or a premium hand it just went in!!!

    although im sure there's more too it than that, maybe similar too the spin and go speeds, I enjoy them and do ok sometimes.....

    I was left with 'a bowl of rice' after that hand Harold, which I managed to hold on to long enough to finish 48th according to the QQQ results page for
       

    		£42.90 + £77.34 Head Prizes
     
    I must admit I can't remember doing that, I thought I busted fairly shortly after the AQ spot. 

    ------------

    Just had abit of a scare with the free bet. 

    I had it in my head it expired on the 21st of November. 

    I thought that was Sunday, but then I realised it's today. So I rushed over to skybet and it wasn't there. 

    wtffffff. 

    The CC guy explained it has a time as well as a date, and it actually expired at 9am this morning. 

    I was gutted, but before I could even be cheeky enough to ask he said he could see it was an honest mistake and replaced it.  :)

    Big thumbs up to customer care! I must really be a skybet fishhhhhh :'(

    Hey up Dohhhhh ! long time lurker/and reader.....only just recently got back online playing poker and catching up on the sky threads, and yours was always one of the 1st !! Shame you didn't follow through with Joesmans or darties tips for your free bet with Stenson ew at 11/1 in the golf 1st 5 places. Or tonight he also gave out a tip for a horse called Gambino which won at 9/1(i used my £10 free bet on that).Check the bet chat forum if not sure of what to bet on .........buuuuuuuuuut with your love of cricket and strong opinions on many cricketers and their lack of talent or ability.Have a long term bet eachway on a cricket tournament, 20/20,one day,or test match.Simples! and from reading your threads you could even bet top batsman or bowler for a tourney like the other year when you picked out some random spinner from india or pakistan that i'm sure won or got placed top bowler for the tourney.

    Welcome back to poker Dave, appreciate the comments. 

    I've not watched much golf this season, but I've caught most of the coverage so far this week. The laads on the thread are doing very well, Olesen at a 3 figure price is looking a great sweat! I regret not getting involved now :(

    Also missed the horse, everything Joesman touches atm turns to gold, he almost shipped us the scoop 6 last week too. Well done him & you if you got on. 

    The bet has been placed anyway, thanks for all suggestions. 

    In the end my inner shuv has come through and I've used it on this afternoons football. 

    Picked 1 game myself, Everton to beat WHU. 

    Stole 1 game off another forum, where a few are backing Scunthorpe to beat Crawley.

    And added Chelsea just to boost the price up a touch. 

    £716 freeroll if I can get lucky!

    Still gutted they got away with doing this last time when Everton couldn't break down Swanseas 10 men. 

    They can't run that good again!

    On for the max. Gambooooool.
