Played a bit tonight, played a few Turbo HU SnGs but have no idea how much I won or lost there cos I lost track. It definitely wasn't a big win or a big loss either way.
Played some cash, played pretty well imo, took some things on board from what EP had said to me from the live sweat, checked back a few turns that I'd have normally barrelled despite it being a turn card where I'm never gonna get folds. Think I finished about £25 up.
This hand happened where I lost £10 just before the end of my session which was pretty annoying (the way it happened, not just losing £10). I know I should really go bigger on the flop but I've flopped the world V a group of fish and wanted to keep 'em all in. Either way I think it doesn't change the result (not sure what paddy was doing lol). Turned over like the worst hand I could hope for when we got it in, then just a sigh river.
Haven't updated for a few days now... played quite a few MTTs including the DTD without any cashes, probably played about £50 worth of MTTs + Sats.
Played quite a few HU games, Hyper and Turbo, think I've won a bit on them (I must have cos I've done rubbish in MTTs and my BR aint going down).
Also played some cash tonight and made £22.11
Aint posted my C4P in ages so thought I'd stick it up with my BR tonight, nothing impressive or anything.
Oh I also played one of them £2.30 SPT sats this afternoon and got into the Quarter tonight @ 9:30pm. It's either the 3rd or 4th one I've tried so I'm batting slightly above average. Hopefully I'll have good news to post later that I'm in the Semi....

I kept a notepad document of results soI could post it up so here it is. Pretty depressing reading but ah well.
35p £50 GTD BH - 70/98 - no cash
55p £75 GTD Velocity - 51/84 - no cash
£1.05 £100 Hurricane BH - 50/179 - no cash
£2.20 £100 GTD Titan - 34/67 - no cash
WON SPT Quarter Seat for £2.30
£3.45 £200 Hurricane BH - 45/116 - £1.13 Head Prize
£2.20 £150 Supercharger - 89/99 - no cash
£1.10 £75 GTD Express - 10/122 - £3.90
55p BH Blitz - 93/122 - 20p Head Prize
£5.50 £200 GTD Tornado - 31/37 - no cash
35p £50 Fear Frenzy - 66/85 - no cash
Only deep run was my finish 10th in the GTD Express. Pretty frustrating cos the structure was SO bad. Average stack was about 5xBB for like the last hour of play. Eventually get down to the final 10, I'm 2nd in chips and have a massive 7.5xBB! Everyone else has like 2-3xBB. Chip leader sat to my left, folds to me in the SB and I jam into his QQ
Think all the MTTs combined came to about £20
As you can see above, I also qualified into the SPT Quarter again, first try so for £2.30 but no such luck there. That game is SO slow it's unbelievable, speed it up a bit imo, seriously like 24 runners and it must have took at least an hour to lose 3 people. Eventually blinds increased and I 3bet jammed TT into JJ, left me with a bowl. Spun it up a bit but didn't go anywhere and finished about 18th out of 24.
Played a load of HU SnGs earlier which covered a few of my BIs cos I'm only down £10 despite the £20 of MTTs. Also got my 50 golden tickets locked up

I'm taking a few days off poker, don't worry it's nothing to do with running bad or anything, I've just played a lot of poker recently, can't remember the last day I haven't played tbh.
BUT being the nit I am, I can't turn down a chance at free moniezz (or TVs/Laptops etc) so today and yesterday I've just been playing enough HU SnGs to get 50 points for the 50 golden tickets and then I'm done for the day.
Did it yesterday and it was a pretty horrible session at Hypers, managed to limit the loss to something like £20 so nothing awful.
Today started similar, I posted a hand in Doh's diary actually (will post it here too), stacks in the Hyper were in my favour 930 v 70 @ 15/30, then I pick up AA.... somehow I lose the game! Sick times.
But managed to turn it round, and make a few squid
@ £5s I played 5 and won 5 (4 of which were the same oppo who was terrible and kept rematching)
@ £10s I played 8 and won 5
So in total made £39.75 and the 50 golden tickets. Not a bad hour's play
Bankroll: £622.62
Poker Points: 1758 (£17.58)
Nothing too interesting except the one wierd spot that I posted in the clinic.
All other big pots (there were only 2) went in my favour, just one hold getting it in 3way pre V shorties w/ AK v A3 v 8T and another where I raise KK, c-bet w/ top set and got jammed on by JJ... mbn.
Finished +£31.93 for the session.
Bankroll: £654.55
Poker Points: 1785 (£17.85)
I've played a lot more MTTs over the last 2 days and have had a real mare. Got down to the final 8 of the £200 GTD (top 5 paid) and then did a slightly spewy jam which is in the clinic. Left myself with a bowl and finished 8th shortly after.
Played probably 10 all in sats yesterday a combination of roller ones and £110 BH ones, failed to get past the first hand in any lol, so that was about £30. No qualms with that though, I'm obv playing them for a GAMBOOOL!
Played loads of HU SnGs over the last 2 days too, but I really have no idea if I'm up or down on them tbh... either way it can't be by much from rough calcs.
Saturday and Sunday sat down to play cash sessions but really wasn't in the right mindset to grind cash, both nights I lost a buy-in fairly quickly and just snap stood from all tables before I went into spew mode.
I did qualify for the SPT quarter again from a first attempt at a micro but donked off jamming into AA in the quarter.
Then tilt regged the £11 £1k BH last night, and it was the sickest (good and bad) tournament I've ever played in. First level of the tourney, probably 5 hands in, I get it in pre KK v QQ... and lose, not the best thing that could have happened given my mood at the time, left me with 100 chips @ 10/20. Somehow went on the sickest run of winning races until I was back up to 1500. Then get it in V a shorty (about 700 chips) with 77 v 22.... obv river is a 2 and I'm back down to a bowl.
Another sick spin up gets me a playable stack again, I can start playing some pokerz again and win a few nice pots. Get up to about 12k which was 2nd in chips and I think it's 200/400 by this point. I raise A7s and get 2-3 callers, flop comes AK7dd, mmmmm love it lol... get it in V ....AK obv
Again, another sick spin up sees me back with a playable stack. After the 3rd spin up, things calmed down a bit, people playing very tight towards the bubble and FT bubble. I eventually get to the FT and I think I was 6th in chips but it was like 18k, 20k, 21k, 30k, 40k, 40k ish so I was in the running. Played very well on the FT imo. Can't remember how it happened but one guy busted in 6th. Then fellow squaddie (villian who crushed me earlier) got it in AK v KQ to get busted by runner runner flush.
This now leaves us with 4 left and stacks are roughly 22k (me), 20k, 55k, 55k IIRC with blinds @ 500/1000. I minraise the button w/ AK, SB folds and guy in 4th place with 20k jams, mmmm.... wait I've accidently clicked myself away!!!! Quickly click 'I'm Back' and click call. Villian has AQ... Thank god for that! .... flop is AQx. GG me. Left me with a bowl which sadly I couldn't spin up for a 4th time and I finished 4th for about £75.
Pretty frustrating cos one hold there locks up another like £30+ quid and gives me a real shot at going FTW which was like £200+ (with bounties).

Pretty sick game sometimes, definitely can't complain about cashing for £75 after being down to 100 chips in level 1, but then that's only courtesy of losing KK v QQ aipf. Really experienced both ends of variance during that game! And my BR would be alot uglier without that cash.Bankroll: £563.28

Liam - I aint been playing much cash recently, mostly MTTs. When I have played it's been for like 30 mins I think around 9pm ish. I do try to play as late as possible to get some softer tables but can't really stay up too late cos I have to be up early.

I played the DTD tonight and it has not been finalised yet so be pretty gutted if this turns out to be wrong lol but I'm pretty sure I just won it!
I got a 5th place in DTD1 and a 4th place in DTD3 for a total of £52.14. I also finished just outside the cash in DTD2 (31st I think).
I dunno if you remember my exit in 4th place last night in the £1k BH... getting it in AK v AQ and losing. Well tonight in DTD1 with 5 left I got it in pre AK v AT and lose again which is pretty sigh to have that on 2 FTs 2 nights in a row. Can't complain too much, I obv ran good to get there in the first place.

When i started the £58 quid to £200 challenge it was off the back of losing £100, rebought for £20 got it up to £120 in a week after 2 good results in BH'ers, withdrew £80quid, was back down at £30 odd pound got this up to £58 quid thought instead of playing eratic, big wins or losses, i'd stick to not withdrawing / depositing money and just be a lot more consistant. 4 tabling at the 2p 4p table it's easy enough to win just by picking the right spots. Tho it became a bit mechanical, so i've stopped playing as much cash now, going to try and play tournies when i get the chance.
The best game for me is the tournies, i love getting a deep run and going far, since ive started this challenge tho its not been happening. Quite like the DYMs for a laugh, but like you said the rake is massive at the lower limits.
Had a go at HU games at the £1 level, i found it really difficult compared to how i would normally play.
Would love a game sometime, i'll send you a message through here if your up for a game:D
Nice! Brilliant result, hope you bring it down.
Nice profit and free entry, on fire
Just a quick update from today, I haven't played any poker apart from the freeroll Blandy set up for everyone who took part in that FA Cup HU Tourney thing. It was a really interesting format and made for some interesting dynamics.
I got the 3rd biggest cash of the night for £22.12 which is great for a bit of free fun

Only other bit of poker today and yesterday was that I completed level 1 + 2 of the DYM challenge so my BR has went up a smidge.
I've finally had my ID verification thing sorted with a well known french site. I'd been given $10 free on another site, spun that up to $40 over the past few weeks but that site is rubbish so now that I've paid enough rake to allow me to withdraw, I've took the lot and stuck it on the french site.
Played a little on there, played 1 x 18man SnG and won it, only like 1e to win 6.50e ish. Played a 2e rebuy tonight with about 290 runners (top 42 paid). Had a very decent stack after the bubble burst (top 10) but clashed with a fellow top 10 player to go for a big stack, got it in on the turn and didn't hit my OESD or FD. Left me with 5k @ 700/1400 which I spun up but eventually bust in 31st which covered my doublestack at the start + addon with a small profit left over.
Good start there anyway.

As it's the 7th Anniversary of the Sunday Million they are guaranteeing the prizepool @ $7 million so will be in excess of $1million FTW... just need to get through about 40,000 runners
Played my £2 DYM for the challenge today and donked off so back to the start there. Played a cheapy rebuy on the french site which started well but was a struggle swimming against the tide. Built a stack then got it in AQ v AJ and lost, rebuilt again, get it in AJ v KJ and lose, build back up to like 11xBB but just lost a standard 60/40 when I jammed in LP.
Did play a few Hypers (and win) a few Hypers there though so up a few quid.
No poker for me tonight, giving it a rest, can't play on Saturday cos I'll be at my mum's and she's just moved house and hasn't got the internet set up yet, so next time I play will be the Sunday Million.
I've been neglecting cash a bit, not cos I'm playing bad or running bad (the usual excuse) just cos I've been enjoying MTTs but after the Sunday Million, it'll be back to Sky for cash (20NL) and frenchy for MTTs

Ps - Know what you mean about enjoying tournaments - That has a lot to do with why i don,t play as much cash as i should - coz i just enjoy tournies and satelites more

Never re-deposited since. Well.. that's technically not true but it is... Ages ago I withdraw £20 (I think) from Sky, stuck it on the 'big site', spun it up to just over $100 then was having a bad time on the Hypers (that's what I was playing there because the rake is a lot less there) so ended up withdrawing it all and putting it in here, but that did come from my Sky BR originally so yeah no more than £20 has left my bank
1hr 30 til kick off
Anyway, it got 50,000 runners in the end, I played very solid for about 4 hours, then things naturally picked up a bit in terms of aggro-ness. It all ended when the CO opened and I 3bet jammed 17xBB from the BB with K8o... very shocked to see the original opener insta-snap me off with 9Ts and he got there on the river. Came about 20,000th, better than going out first I guess but ah well, there's always next time
No change with the BR on Sky, haven't played once since my last post.
I have played a bit of the french site though.
Played 'The Big 2e' and came 126/1227. Exit hand there was me 3bet shipping 66 into AK for a massive stack but couldn't hold so got a massive 3.75e there.
Played 'The Big 3e' earlier too, another good run but again the doomed 66. This time I was pretty short and open shipped 66 and got snapped off behind me by JJ and QQ, so finished 63rd there out of about 840 for 6.37e.
So doubled my money twice for about 8 hours play... sigh, but been getting some good deep runs on that site so far and I know it won't be long before I FT one of them.
I also played some Hypers on there and won 5/5 so I've got my original 40e up to just over 60e. Good start
To be honest, I'm a bit wary about playing cash (or anything) on Sky at the moment cos since these freerolls started it just seems to be constant moaning about how the whole site is constantly lagging during the freerolls. Might continue playing on the other site until these FRs are out the way,

But hopefully you're right shaun so I might give it a go. Still aint got round to a clash with you at 10NL mastercash, will do soon.
Played a 1e rebuy 4-max tourney on french site, finished about 40th out of just over 100 so no cash there. Rebought first hand obv, double rebought + did the add-on so that cos me 5e.
Then played a load of Hypers, ran terrible and lost loads, then had a good run and won it all back. The beginning of the run bad was getting it in AA v AJ on AKQ (and losing) but yeh thats boring. Obv in true spew tilt fashion I moved from 3s to 5s when losing, then 5s to 10s lol. Lost loads again, was down to 1e and had 1x 5e Hyper open at my lowest point, then spun it back up to nearly 40e.
It was only hours later Doh suggested I don't play Hypers on there cos the rake is like 6.5% on Hypers!!! It's my own fault for not checking but I assumed the rake would be the same as it is on the english (or non french) version of the site where it's like 2%. So no more Hypers on there for me, just stick to MTTs.
I also realised last night how bored I am with Hypers. like you shouldn't (imo) 'try to win' it in the first 2 levels, just play solid etc then it gets down to knowing when to raise/call jams, when to 3bet jam pre, when to open ship, when to call someone who open ships etc which I think I'm pretty good at but just gets really boring after a while. Bored of just watching races 90% of the time, win or lose.
So had about 30 mins spare last night, not enough for cash or MTTs, and didn't wanna play Hypers so I went and 6tabled DYMs (god!), mostly £5s with £3s an £2s to top up, didn't go as well as it could have but happy with how I played. Lost about £8

Played quite a few SnGs today for the comp. I originally regged for 6 to have a proper grind but then the in-laws came round and I had to de-reg from 5 and shove off my chips in the one that had started, which for anyone that knows me.... you'll know how painful it is for me to have to shove off chips and voluntarily lose £2.20 lol
All in all (apart from the £2.20 above) I played 2 x £1.10 and won them both for a total of £5.60 profit
Played 2 x £2.20 and won one of them for a profit of £3.40
Played 1 x £5.50 and lost that. Pretty sigh, I got it in 33 v A9 on the bubble to lock up a cash and have a 2:1 CL going FTW (3rd in a row) but I couldn't hold and bubbled shortly after. So lost £5.50 there.
Then I played some 20NL for the first time in yonks! And finished +£40 which is pretty sweet
