So I did the same system of starting on hypers abuot 9pm, if I win the first 4 in a row I buyin to the SPT Semi... lost the first one again lol. In the end I won 30 games and lost 27 for a total profit of.... *drumroll* ... 75p! So I actually earned more money in C4P from them 57 games than I did in profit.
Then I played forum cash from about 23:30 til about 00:30, was a good bit of fun took down a few pots cos people gimme way too much respect cos 'I'm a nit' lol. Finished with a whopping £2.36 profit there.

So I won 35, and lost 47 (siiiick) for a loss of £98 dead on.
Was really hating poker last night/today, and just did not want to play at all. I was forced to play tonight cos I'm a life nit and won't tuen down freebies, and I was in the £250 loyalty freeroll for earning 250+ poker points and won a mini primo seat on last Sunday's live show. Cashed in the freeroll for £1.25 which wasn't hard considering it paid top 80 and got about 110 runners lol.
Completely donked about in the mini Primo like an idiot, don't even know where I came but just wasn't in the mood to play.
Talking to JJ on FB and he was trying to convince me to play the £3.30 Speed (£100 GTD), which to be fair I probably should play more often cos they deffo suit my style of play... these days I only seem to play well when we all have jamming stacks lol.
I only went and A) binked it and
Such a nice feeling to bink what is my first MTT win in roughly 2 years!! I'm not completely terrible at MTTs by the way, I just don't play them that often and you know how I run

(I just got timed out while posting my update)
So yeah I played a bit of everything tonight (almost). The plan was to make another attempt to get into SPT Luton. I started off with £5.20, only 1 seat going and I came 2nd for £19.20 which I wasn't too disappointed with, just a few more freebies at the £5.20s. Played another £5.20 and busted with nothing.
Played the £3.30 Speed and bricked
Played the £5.50 Speed and bricked
Played 1 Hyper (£5.50) and won it.
Then thought I might aswell just buyin direct to the £24 SPT Semi. And yet again, I was made aware that I really need to improve my satellite game, there's a few people who just seem to get their seat to every SPT really quick and really cheap without any problems, dunno how!! Anyway I had AK (with TPTK on the flop) and got it in against a set...
Loaded up a load of Hypers to try to pay back some of the SPT Semi, and won 21, lost 16 for a £15.75 profit which is a good session as Hypers go. Earned some poker points too JJ!
So all in all, I'm a tenner down tonight but not too disappointed with that cos I bought in direct to the £24 SPT Semi, so I basically played that for a tenner.

Played the £3.30 speed and bricked
Played the £5.50 Velo, built up a very nice stack, was about 7th out of 20odd, then jammed JJ into 77 and he binked the river, would have put me CL but left me crushed.
Played the £5.50 speed, again built a good stack then did massive spew on 1 hand when Dohhh happened to pick up AA
=================================================================================
Then I played some Hypers to help pay for my MTT buyins and just for some fun. I won 19 and lost 10 for a nice £37.75 profit. Good times.

I played the £5.20 SPT micro sat when I got home from work tonight, only 1 seat going in it and I took that down.
So I was in the £24 Semi, 12 runnners in the end so 2 seats + some cash, and I only went and binked one of the seats!
It's the first time I've ever qualified for an SPT through Sky, I just buy-in direct usually cos I suck at satellites but tonight was obviously my night. So tonight I got in for £5.20 which is pretty sick... but to be a bit more sick, I played 2 x £5.20s the other night and bubbled one for £19.20 so I've actually got my seat for free/made a profit!
Not much to update BR wise... oh yeah that reminds me, after I won the £5.20 sat, I decided to play a Hyper just so if I won I'd be freerolling the Semi lol, and I did win
But I played 2 more while waiting for the Semi to start, so I won 2 and lost 1 today which is £4.25 profit. So all-in-all today my BR has went down by about £1 but I'm 1 x £110 seat better off

No more SPT sats for me, as you know
I played the £2.20 speed and bricked it.
Then.... *drumroll* I played my first cash 'session' in AGES, I told you i'm not stopping cash, just took a quick break, the plan is still on as always.
Played 10NL for abou 1hr 30 mins, and although it's only small, after going so long without a winning session anything feels good. I made £6.99 profit
I also played 3 hypers... won 2, lost 1 for £4.25
Bankroll is slowly going in the right direction, which I'm especially with after playing quite a few speed MTTs with only 1 bink and have won an SPT seat.

Now back to smashing the cash!!
Well done m8.
I (foolishly) pointed out that no matter how bad the run is, unless you're Phil Ivey, you can always reduce how bad the downswing is by getting better lol. Which resulted in me commenting on a few things I think she could do with improving so she challenged me to 6table DYMs for 2 hours like she used to and see how I do lol. So I'll be doing that tonight @ the £3s the same as she did, and see how I get on.
Started off running fairly bad, few times I got it in with AA and lost which is always sigh, but started running pretty good towards the end, think it probably evened out if not maybe slightly in my favour a bit.
So in the end I Won 19 games and Lost 11 for a £15.00
I also played a couple of Hypers earlier, Won 3 and lost 2 for a £3.75 profit so not a bad day.
Earned some of them pokery point things too...

I Won 18 and lost 12 for a £22.50 profit, another pretty sick Hyper session compared to expected winrates, was a 14% ROI.
So glad to finally have my SS for SnGs back in the black now AND while my I've still got a way to go on the MTT front, binking the £110 seat for Luton definitely made my SS look alot better. And more importantly, it's just such a good feeling to see my BR going back in the right direction.
If I play tonight it will be back to 10NL definitely. Will still probably play Hypers on and off for the rest of the month to take advantage of the fact I have the chance to get to 3k+ points and make the next payout band which ok isn't massive but it's still gonna be like 4-5 BIs for 10NL which is not to be sniffed at, especially when I'm only playing with 20 BIs.

So tonight I was back on the cash again which is mostly what I'll be doing for the rest of the month and the forseeable future really. I did 2hr 30 mins of 4tabling 10NL.
Started off feeling pretty sigh when I got it in pre KK v AQ and lost a 200xBB pot and thought the cash demons were out to get me again. But I stuck with it, played pretty well imo and got back on top, was a bit up... then had a nasty 300xBB pot that went the wrong way... see below
The limp behind pre was because I wasn't folding but the open limper was too short for me to iso (imo). Was loving life when he was getting it in, thinking it could be loads of PPs and QJ/QT... just sigh when he turned the cards over lol
Anyway, that hand pretty much crushed my profits and then some for the night, but then I took a few quid off someone right as I was standing from my tables when someone called down with 2nd pr V my flopped bottom set. I made a very small profit of 68p lol but I'm happy with how I played and as will always happy in 1 cash session, the result will generally be decided by 1-2 big hands, and this time they both didn't go my way, so I'm happy to not be down.

Was another session full of nasties... got it in bottom set v middle set and nut straight v FH. On the str8 v FH hand, I suppose I should count myself lucky because he only raised the river, didn't jam, so saved me like £4-£5.
I also got AA twice all session, once it was folded to me on the BB, the other I opened and got all folds, sigh, aint had action on a cash table with AA in my hand for AGES!
But all in all, I can't complain cos I'm 1.5BIs up which is miles better than recent results.

Might play some hypers for the rest of the night to get me over 2k points, or might not...
Played most of the speed MTTs and didn't get a single cash, despite having a massive CL on the FT bubble in one of them. Even mis-click rebought in one of them for a 3xBB stack so wasted £2.20 there lol.
Also played alot of Hypers and finished just under break even, can't remember the totals cos I played tonight too and included them in the same totals.
So in total I Won 40 and lost 37 for a £4.25 loss.
Played about 1 hr of 4tabling cash tonight though and made £12.82 so that's a positive.
Poker points have shot up too since all the hypers...

Results to come later after I've played some Hypers
I wish I could run as good in cash as I do in Hypers...
Another soul destroying cash session where I lost £62.81... when are the poker gods gonna stop coolering me and refusing to let me win a race!
THEN...
Check out this for a SIIICK session of Hypers JJ... I Won 21 games and lost 8, for a £57.75 profit.
So all in all, I've lost about £6 which is pretty amazing for how terrible I felt after my cash session. Still well on target for my aim of 3k poker points by the end of the month which I think is something like £40.
God, what does that say about my cash results recently... I started this with £170ish, so my BR is £50 up and yet I'm £180 down on cash... massive SIGH!

Playing a forum SnG or two now so maybe an update later or not
Then I remembered this morning that I had won free entry into the mini tonight (on 861). Being the nit I am, I was actually quite pleased to see it had been changed to a BH tonight (I don't really like BHs), cos it meant I was in with a better chance of getting some free cash from my freebie lol.
It got 616 runners which is pretty mental for Sky, good news imo that they are able to get a field of that size.
I think I did really well throughout, certainly had a good few spots like min-raising with button with AA and getting jammed on by the BB with QQ. Frustrating though, when I was like 5th in chips and get it in AQ v AT for a massive stack but he binks
Eventually got down to the final 8, so I'm playing 4handed and I jam K8s from the button into the BB's AQo and don't manage to bink. Perfectly happy with the shove, think it's super standard with the stack sizes, especially how nitty they all were.
Lambert180 0 8 £30.80 + £23.28 Head Prizes 7
Still binked for £54.08 in total which aint bad for a freebie, but really thought it was gonna be my night to go real deep. Can't complain though, aint gone deep for ages in an MTT with a big field.

So I'm back to £320 with £30 of C4P to come, so I'm basically back to the £350 I was on before blowing 20BIs on 8NL in the space of a week.
Good stuff
Played the DTD, no cashes there, think my best finish was like 30odd or 40odd, something like that. So another -£5.50 down.
So what dya do when you're down a bit, go to the games you've been crushing recently.... HYPERS!!!
I Won 32 and Lost 26 for a £15.50 profit so that was my MTT BIs back and a feq quid for my troubles. Got to get a move on cos I want 3k C4P cos it's like an extra tenner. Feel so much more comfortably rolled for 10NL now aswell which is nice. My goal about a week ago was to reach £250 (including C4P) again, but I'm smashing that now, so my new aim is £400 including my C4P (which I think will be £40ish) so got another £35 to make in 4 days.
As sad as it may sound to some, I've never got my BR to £400 before cos I've never deposited big and always played small. Well I did go over £400 when I cashed at SPT Cardiff for £375 (brag lol) but I withdrew a chunk of that.
