More mtt's ftw........dunno why you don't devote a month to purely playing these I'm pretty sure you will be pleased with the results.
Seriously, there are loads of ppl I don't want on my table and you are def on the list. You are a far better player than me and if I can stay in profit then just imagine what you could do.
Sadly, didn't go that well, so thanks Sky for encouraging me to play cos I was gonna give the HU a rest for a bit but hey I guess that's their job. Wasn't too bad in the end, something like £25 which considering I'm playing £10s is hardly a nightmare session.
Definitely won't be playing Cash for a week or two, cos I aint sitting on a table with 3-4 regs exchanging BBs and them only getting it in with the nuts. And laying off the HU so I guess I'll have to play a few MTTs.

As I've said, I aint going on the cash tables for the next week or two when they're so reg heavy so gonna have to be MTTs
Started off the night quite badly, played 2 x £5.50 TTs and busted both, one when I had a really good stack as well and could have folded for a half decent profit but obv thats not how I roll. Played some other MTTs but cant remember what.
Played the £6 Sat into the £55 BH tonight, 29 runners, 2 seats + £49 and I just lost a flip to come 5th, pretty annoying but ah well.
Played some 20NL again, got stacked early by an Evil Penguin, then stacked again about 2 mins late in a pretty sick spot where I got it in JJ v TT on 6728 and he binked his T on the river. Managed to get my stack up to £75 before leaving though so that was pretty much break even.
Also though Id try out some HU cash, which was good fun (not so much when I kept losing races) until EP pointed out how bad the rake is, which is a bit annoying. Hard to say how I finished up with that, was 20NL again and someone sat down with £6, stacked them, someone sat down with £10 and spun it up to £30 then ran off, then someone else sat down with an actual full BI and I stacked him twice and left that with like £60 so about break even again I think.
So basically near enough all my losses came from the MTTs which is pretty standard innit, cant win 'em all.
Earned a poker point or two though lol.

not bad for someone who is 'easily good enough to win' but hasn't shown any evidence of it so far
Bit of a sickener but what can ya do.
Only like a 30 minute window to play cos I've got other stuff to do tonight so had no choice but Hypers
Dunno how many I played/won but for the night I've finished on £607.45 despite the donked off £5.50 so that's £23.50 profit.
Anyone know how we register/when we can register for that 5k Freeroll. Never usually play FRs and the field will be big but can't turn down a 5k PP.

ALSO, wanted to congrajulate you in this celebratory POST, on Your Selection For The HitSquad Elite APAT TEAM!!
I am Proud to have such a Sensible, Well Rounded & Constructive Member Of OUR HITSQUAD!!
[wish the others were sane...same i mean, pmsl!!]
The Hitman
I knew the 1000th post was coming soon but lost track over the last few days. Trust you to swipe :P
I've been meaning to mention the APAT so I guess now is as good a time as any, to explain to everyone else. Basically The Hitsquad were lucky enough to get given a slot in the team event of the APAT (about 25 teams got turned away due to lack of spaces).
Each team has 8 players, and I was chosen to represent the team
25 teams of 8 so 200 runners. £400+40 BI (for the team) so £55 each. Top 100 players get points (1st getting 100, 2nd getting 99 down to 100th getting 1 point), 50% of the prizepool goes to the top 3 scoring teams, the other 50% goes to the individuals.
Here's my table draw, feel free to chip in with info if you've heard of any of my opponents:
8 1 Chris Waddington Lee Barrett Poker Night
8 2 Duncan Wilkie WPT Poker Magazine
8 3 Paul Lambert Sky Poker Hitsquad
8 4 Keith Steffens Punters Lounge
8 5 Frazer Bolt APAT South West
8 6 Vicki Lambert Blackbelt Poker
8 7 Tom Broadbent FISO
8 8 Richard King APAT Yorkshire
8 9 Gary Peniket {c} Hendon Mob
8 10 Johnny Nixon Live Pub Poker League
Sadly he was only say at 100NL+ tables and I kinda wanted to paly 50NL but I tthought ah well, I'm very comfortable playing a 50xBB stack so just bought in for £50 at his 100NL table.
He won, although I don't feel like I was outplayed at all, felt like I gave him a good game and ultimately it came down to us getting it in pre and me losing a race and I don't regret my jam at all. I've paid £50 for the priviledge of this brag though so gotta get it in lol...
Tonight I played 2 tables of 20NL with a table of £10 HU Turbos on the side (only cos it's Turbo Tuesday, bigger edge, twice the points, easy decision). Cash I finished about break even, pretty sigh that the only big hand all night was me getting it in with a set of 4s V a set of Ks, but managed to win that back and finish with about £30 on each table (so covers the £20 I topped up after the set v set).
Made a few quid profit on the Turbos too, so pretty much back to what I was before the Sam Razavi incident. Fair few points better off too.

Move along son
Kinda the same mentality that these rich business men have in macou and elsewhere " o it's only 50,000"
Nothing to gain. nothing to lose playing pros - just a thrill init if you win and nice bluff for the TV )
)
So I mean like I was sitting down knowing that I could well play completely perfectly and still lose, but I was willing to risk that £50. I always want to win, whether it's poker or monopoly lol.
But yeah, was more about a good bit of fun and knowing that I'm not even a big underdog to walk away up anyway, was certainly the first time in ages I've played online poker and actually felt excited.
Had an afternoon session on the Hypers today anyway, only a short one cos I was nearly £60 up and said I'd play on till I lost one... lost the next game obv lol. Was nice to run quite good at Hypers, aint really had that for a few weeks now, was holding in all my AJ v 3T type races.

I did play some 20NL though which went much better than the Hypers. No massive profits, and I did get stacked when I got it in pre AKs v QQ and couldnt get there. Reckon I was at least around £60 on Hypers toight and have only finished like £10 down for the night so turns out 20NL was a decent profit of about £50
All rough figures cos I've given up on being a nit information tracker.

The next 15 mins were a bit annoying as I handed most of it back though lol, still managed to finish about £10 up on cash though so can't complain too much.
Also played 2 Hypers along side and won them both, so another +£19 there.

I'm sitting in small blind ace six of spades, 800/ 1600 blinds. One caller (massive chip leader) he has 170k and has been making a lot of moves.
B/b checks, flop comes come down with 2 spades and Jack High.
I check, bb checks, button raises 4800, im sittin with 45 k, and jam.
Original raiser calls with 10 j, off suit.
Board runs out pair of jacks hold.
Just wondering how would others have played the hand, i was thinking i can bring the pot down there or at worst it was a coin flip.
Wonderin now if i should have just peeled off another card hopin 2 hit flush.
I did ok (I came 63rd) but was a pretty frustrating day, I bust out shortly before the end of Day 1 and managed to go about 12 hours while only making literally about 2-3 hands all day which were better than 1 pair. Virtually everything pot I took down in the whole tourney was a semi bluff or more often than not just a stone cold bluff.
Couple of crucial hands not long before I busted... folds to the SB who jams into my BB with J7o, I snap him off with 77 and lose. That leaves me with 11-12 bigs, so I open jam a few hands later with AK into JJ and lose. That leaves me with 2 bigs which someone I manage to spin up to 11 and then jam 45s from the button into A9 and can't get there. Great fun all the same though.
================================================================================
Then tonight I didn't get off to much of a start, played 2 x £3 all in sats to the 30k roller, first one I get dealt AA in the first hand so I'm happy but obv it's 6 handed so you can never be that happy, got cracked by 84 on the river. No seat for me in either.
Played the £2.20 Scary, bust, rebuy, bust, rebuy, bust, time to call it a day lol so £6.60 lost there (please stop raking rebuys!!)
Thought I'd go play some 20NL cos there were no decent MTTs coming up that I wanted to play. One thing I have noticed of late is that I'm doing much better at cash with a couple less tables. I can play 6 'comfortably' but it's still a lot more robotic and I think I'm missing out on spots to exploit people when I can't give it full focus.
So the last few weeks I've only been 3-4tabling and whether it be the extra concentration I have on each table or maybe just some rungood but I seem to be doing better anyway. Tonight I played for about an hour a half and finished about £35 up so covered my MTT spew and then some
Probably not going to play much for the rest of the month but definitely wanna make sure I get the extra 63 points for 3k cos it's like an extra £10 for practically no work.

DTD3 can't even remember my exit
DTD2 had a massive stack and 3bet jammed with JJ into AJ for the chip lead and lost.
DTD1 I cashed in 10th. Was doing pretty well. Mondo has like 4 BB and I jam A6 into his TT, then I snap him off with his SB shorty jam into my BB with ATs and he's got AA... sigh. Then I jam JTs into his KQo, flopped the goods but he rivered his Q. At least he's using my chips well and is down to the final 4
