Not entirely sure what I'll be doing this month, but I definitely won't be putting in the same kinda volume I did last month. I am taking JJ's (and Splashies') to give the hypers a proper go with the 2% rake so I'm playing some games on there tonight and will continue to play throughout the month. I'll try to get at least 500 games played on that site, won't be posting every day but will keep track and post my updates every so often.
Played some 3.50s and some 1.50s so in total I...
Played: 29
Won: 17
Profit: +98p
ROI: 1.37%
Annoying it's not better because I won 11/15 in the $1.50s, but only 6/14 at the $3.50s.
Was looking at the tourney schedule earlier when Sky asked us what we'd want replacing to add £10 and £20 MTTs, then I noticed a 15 min TT for £2.20 kicking off and I was bored so thought I'd bundle in. Ended up cashing for £4.10 so small profit. The annoying thing was about 2 mins before the end, I got moved tables to UTG (I think) and so wasn't dealt a hand til the BB got round to me but that never happened before it ended, so spent last few minutes just sat there. Was wanting to try to chip up more
Then tonight I played an online 'home game' on another site, it was PLO and PLHEm $2 BI, with 1 rebuy and 1 add-on, winner takes all. Managed to run unbelievably well, and take it down for $34
Got it in very early AK v AA and board came xxKKK lol, so doubled up, then next hand flopped my set of 4s and took another player out, then got it all in 3way, AQ v KQ v 62, hit my Q to take out 2 more players... got very lucky, didn't even need to rebuy
So got off to a good start for July so far
On a non poker topic...
I'm glad (kinda lol) to say that I got a job sorted today. I start this Monday coming working in contract management for corporate groups with British Gas.
Not looking forward to being back to the mon-fri grind, but oh well, can't be a layabout forever.
Oh, and same for the pokers too.
But they won't let me scrounge forever, and obviously as I'm promoted, I will start to see a decent affect.
I'm off to play some 45man SnGs on another site now cos there's no good tournies going on that I wanna play here.
& best wishes this month @ poker.

So just a bit of an update with the hypers so far, got in quite alot of volume but have been pretty much break even the entire time. Could be worse but get's a bit boring just being break even ALL the time...
Played: 181
Won: 95
Profit: -£2.38
ROI: -0.87%
Congrats on the job, mate. Those DYM hands were unavoidable really but a lovely quad K's eh. Happened at my table tonight where two chaps went all in after an xxx flop AK v AA and yes the next two cards were KK!!!
Played the £25 guaranteed £1.10 rebuy yesterday, 2 rebuys and an add-on and came 3rd for £9.60 so made a £5.20 profit on that... could be £5.50 if Sky didn't charge rake on rebuys/addons
Played Donk in 2x best of 5s @ £1.05 Hypers today and he bloody won 6 -1
Then I played my HU Hyper Round 2 games tonight, ended up getting a randomer join first time and beat him, then I beat Engy 3-1 so that was £2.75 profit
And I played in the £2.20 Deepstack tonight, was doing really well, 88 runners and we were down to 31, then I made what would have been a great hero call on the end if he hadn't just rivered his GS with junk
First one I got bluffed off the river very early on KK22x board and got bluffed off by A-high when I had a PP just bigger than 2s. That left me crushed and then I jammed A8s into Irene's AKs
Next one I luckboxed the first hand winning TT v QQ, then went on to TID for £10 so not a bad night
And I've got my C4P finally so BR is up to about £210 now, with abuot $40 on another site.
Top 3 were paid and I got down to the final 4 with stacks something like this....
Me - 50k
A - 12k
B - 7k
C - 14k
And then just completely lost my ability to win a race, called the shorty from the BB twice cos his shove was 2BB and I was on BB, lost both of them, then lost TT v AQ, then lost K6 v A5, and managed to go from hero to zero in minutes, felt pretty sick.
Played: 214
Won: 116
Profit: +£8.60
ROI: 2.67%
Amazing what one decent session can do to your profit/ROI.
Just a shame I couldn't have ran a bit better into that £100 Gtd Speed and took it down for about £65, so ended up being down £9.90 for that (buyin + rebuy + add-on)
I did the same as this in a sat for a roller, I turned up at FT with 3 getting seats we got down to the last 4 and I had about double 2nd in chips and there where two shorties in the mix with about 3 bb's me thinking I would be clever and get it over with as had about 25bigs and shoved every hand lol anyway the one who was 2nd woke up with aces the first time and funny enough AA beats 7 4 o/s and second time I had queens he called with AJ and say no more!! I think it lasted 3 hands! Teach me to be an idiot.
Well my first day of the new job was pretty decent today. Wasn't due in until 10:30 because management were having a meeting in the morning and they wanted to be there when I arrived, and then they sent us home at 4pm to allow us to get home because the Olympic torch was going round Oxford (where I work) so all the roads were being closed, so bit of a lazy day today.
Played an £8 SPT sat after getting home from work, was completely card dead the whole game, got a few blind steals through in the later stages, but while still floating aronud starting stack and blinds getting pretty big, I ended up having no choice but to find jam spots, and eventually I walked into 44 and couldn't hit.
Then I missed the other £8 SPT sats, and because I'm annoyed at how little effort I've put into qualifying so far and didn't wanna waste another night without trying, I gave one of the frenzies a go, cost 3 rebuys so £8 in total and I bubbled
So that's was a bit annoying, then I played 4 tables of 10NL for about 3 hours and made £17.50 so covered the cost of my SPT attempts.
But thought I'd post up that I beat Dohhhh 4-2 in our HU game tonight so that was £1.70 profit and through to the next round. And as an added bonus, we had a last longer going between me, Splashies, GreggHogg and JJ for the HU comp where we all stick in $10, and as Splashies and GreggHogg both went out last round, it was gonna be the winner of me or Doh, so that's a nice $30 bonus
On the bright side, I played some forum 4NL cash and made some decent money back there. The main winning hand for me, I was in the BB and there were 4 shoves infront of me, I hate being 5way but have to call with AA, and I manage to hold. So ended up making about £18 profit on that table, so only 2 10NL BIs down for the night, could be worse.
I haven't given an update on my PS Hypers for ages, cos I aint been playing a huge amount. I'm getting some more games in now, then I'll update but I can tell ya know that I've been virtually dead on break even the entire time.
But yeah there is way more than people think, there is so much more play in them than people think.
Played: 383
Won: 205
Profit: +$11.42
ROI: 1.98%
Slow and steady wins the race
Played a £2.40 satellite for something the other day, can't even remember what it was, but I was only playing cos I was bored and wanted to get some satellite practice in. Didn't wanna play so just bought in direct just before gettingg the seat and kept the cash.
Then I played a $5 home-game on 'another site' today with some Sky regs, there were 6 runners, it was a rebuy and it was winner takes all. I didn't need to rebuy but did get the add-on, ended up taking it down for $75
So I deposited £20 (about $40ish) on this other site about a month ago just to test out the hypers there. Due to only having a tiny BR on that site, I had been playing $1.50s, but since then I've won 2 of them homegames, won $30 for the last longer in the HU comp and turned a small profit from my hypers so I'm up to about $150. So from now on I'll be playing $3.50s on there til I get to about $280ish then I'll move to the $7s.
Played: 392
Won: 207
Profit: +$3.68
ROI: 0.62%
I played 66 games and won 39 of them, for a $34.20 profit
Played: 66
Won: 39
Profit: +$34.20
ROI: 14.8%
Now that's what I'm talking about!
