What world clock does Sharkscope work on though? I.E. what time will it be in the UK when SS thinks it's 1st June 00:01? Just some food for thought to make sure your session even counts.
I'll be playing a local pub game tonight so no Sky poker tonight for me, but hopefully I can add a few squid to my roll after tonight because the game is SO soft.
I was planning on doing 1500-2000 tbh, but I'll have to see about that cos I got my other roll to play some with too.
A) it's what I had before starting playing Hypers again so I wanted to actually be in profit for my Hypers (which I am now)
So anyway, I played 14 games today and won 9 of them for a £16.50 profit, very nice.
Sky Bankroll: £254.62
Poker Points: 1439 (£14.39)
=======================
??? Bankroll: $44.34
==========================
Almost got that £20 back too that I withdrew so I'm basically freerolling on that other site.
Month Summary
It's been a pretty good month in all, I've discovered that I can definitely beat this level of Hypers and finished the month in profit, I've set up a 2nd bankroll on another site, I've earned more C4P this month than I ever have before.
I'll post up about targets for June tomorrow.

Planning on Crushing Splashies and Dohhhh next month
But my phone completely sucks, I can barely view webpages so I don't that's an option lol. But me and Emma were looking at laptops today actually, thinking about getting a second one.
Best of luck for the 1,000 hyper thing, must admit I'm a bit tempted to join in myself. The site v site experiment is a great idea. Will be interesting to see how ROIs compare when you've built up a big sample.
Live Game
So I went to that live game again tonight at the local pub. Only 6 runners this time, the owner blamed that on it being a bank holiday weekend coming up and it being the end of the month. Same setup, £5 in, 1 rebuy allowed within 1st hour and 1 add-on. Standard was possibly even worse than last time I went.
One guy was playing about 80% of his hands without looking at them, and just limping, and check/calling. One hand, a guy bet 3 streets at him for him to call all the way down, the guy betting turns over a FH and everyone cheers, only for the blind guy to turn his cards over, seeing them for the first time, to have a bigger FH lol. Suffice to say the guy with the under house was not impressed!
So only 6 runners, but with all the rebuys etc it was £55 for 1st and £30 for 2nd. We were down to 4 and there was one guy with a tiny stack, like 3k, a super aggressive really bad player with about 50k, the 'blind' player with 50k and me with about 20k. Aggressive man raises, blind man flats pre blind. Aggressive bets, another flat, aggressive shoves all in with 2pr on the turn, and blind man says 'well I have to call don't I' (still not having look at his cards lol). He calls and has OESD but misses, so I was glad to see him out and me almost guaranteed a cash.
Shorty goes out very shortly after, I play a few hands against the aggresive player HU but then we go on break. While on break he asks if I just wanna split the prize money, I say I don't mind, so he suggests we play one more blind level and if we're still both in it, we'll split the money and I say that's fine.
At the time this seemed like a great idea cos he had 100k and I had 20k... sadly I underestimated my strength at HU and his weakness. We got back from break and I completely crushed him. This is how bad he was... he limped with AQs, I raised with 55, he 3bet and I just let it go. We both showed and he said he'd have folded to a shove because 'he put me on a small pair and didn't want a flip' despite having a massive chip lead lol.
I went on to crush him and ended up having about 70k to his 50k, without ever having to take a race, he was just mega bad. Annoyingly the blind level ended and I couldn't exactly go back on our deal lol so we both got £42.50
So not a bad night in the end
So I'm the only one who hasn't played a game for June yet then? Well at least I'm in 2nd place on account of you having a -ROI lol. I'll definitely get some games in today so we're all off the mark.
Can we get some graphs tonight, maybe like 10pm - 11pm, to give me a chance to play some games. See how things stand.
Yep :P
1. Win the ROI challenge, 5% should do the job
2. Play 1000+ £5 Hypers on Sky (need that for challenge anyway)
3. Play 50+ games on my other site.
I've also decided to deposite £20 of last night's winnings on to my other site, so my roll there has increased by about $30.
June Starting Stats
Sky Bankroll: £269.01 (when I get my C4P)
??? Bankroll: $75.10
This month rather than posting my bankroll each update, and you and me not knowing how much I'm actually up or down, I'll be posting a cumulative profit/loss for each bankroll after each update. And I'll also be posting up a cumulative total of how many games I've played on each site. I don't like to set financial targets because variance is out of my hands but I think/hope (with a bit of luck), my bankrolls by the end of June should be about...
Sky: £400
???: $100
Wish me luck!
So I played 17 games and won 11 of them for a £20.75 profit and a very tasty 23% ROI... nice start
=======================
Sky Games Played: 17
Sky Profit/Loss: +£20.75
=======================
??? Games Player: 0
??? Profit/Loss: £0.00
========================
Obviously I wanna win, that but aside, I hope you get things back on track soon Splashies, it sucks getting off to a bad start.
I'll be getting a good session in tonight but I'm staying at my mum's so it's back to 1tabling just for tonight. Still reckon I'll be able to get 30+ games in. So lets see if I can keep up my ROI by the time I get to the 50 game mark.
Didn't start great for the first 3-4 games, then I went on a monster streak, think 12-13 wins in a row lol. Ended up playing 30 games in total and won 19 of them for a nice £32.50 profit.
I'm crushing
=======================
Sky Games Played: 47
Sky Profit/Loss: +£53.25

About an hour into tonight's session I was thinking you may be right MrBurns about playing at my mum's cos I got off to a real shocker. Tonight was a pretty massive session for me and it started off being pretty brutal. At one point I was just over £100 down, just couldn't win a race, a flip, nothing. The number of times I got it in crushing them with things like KJ v J7 or K8 v Q8 and they binked was ridiculous.
But I stuck at it, played through it, and managed to recover nearly all of it. In the end I played 92 games and won 46, so exactly 50% which meant I was £23 down. As crazy as it sounds I'm pretty happy with this result. Still means I'm up £30 in the first 3 days of the month and still means I am just short of 4% ROI which I'm very happy with considering at my low point tonight I was -5% ROI.
=======================
Sky Games Played: 139

That is a well sick amount of poker points for 3 days!
Is it worth getting some more graphs Doh? Only if you and Splashies have played more games obv.
