Had an ok, but short, session last night cos I was pretty tired. A small loss on the stable, I could have saved the session with my last comp, the $22 deepstack on 888, but I lost a chunk on the FT bubble with A9<TT so went into the FT short and then bust in 9th with AJs<KK for like $120 (was $1k ftw). A small win on Sky too, the only cashes were 1 head in the MBI and I FT'd the 9pm £55 BH again... pretty gutted with that because we were 5handed and I GII pre with TT v 88 v J9s, and the flop came 88xxx. If I hold there I take 1 head and will have 50%+ of the chips with 4 left but meh didnt have the heart to hit running tens. I had more chips than the guy with J9s so got 4th place for about £250.
Pretty happy to see how my Pocket5s has progressed already. When I looked at it before starting the stable I was ranked about 2500th out of 3000 for UK players, and now 20 days into Jan I've already got myself into the top 1000

Cheers Teddy, I definitely feel a lot more enthusiastic. I've always found MTTs way less stressful than cash for some reason (I know a lot of people feel the complete opposite). It's maybe because I was unrealistic with the % of winning sessions you have at cash, and cash in general just feels like so much more of a grind imo.
- I finished 286/2450 in the Big55 for $98 ($20k ftw)
- I lost AKs<TT to bust the Thunder on 888 finishing 14/172 for $175 ($2.5k ftw) - that flip sucked.
- I had a deepish run in $13KO on stars finishing 158/1407 for about $30 ($2.4k ftw)
- I had a deep run in $27KO on stars finishing 73/1915 for $100 ($6k ftw)
- Finally I had deep run in Party's $100 main event but lost AJ<AK iirc to bust 14/137 for $190 ($2.5k ftw)
So lots of chances last night but couldn't capitalise on any of them. Finished +$180 so not the worst result in the world.Sky not much going on here, I took abuot £33 of heads in the main but didn't cash, mincashed 1 x £11 BH with no heads so the cash wasn't even £11 lol and went pretty deep in the big 9:30pm £11 BH, but got coolered BvB with 2pr v bigger 2pr to finish 14/352 for £55 (£450 + heads ftw), so was about -£70 for the night here.
Highlights of the stake...
Missed the money in $50 turbo BH on Party but got $45 in heads.
I went deep again in a $27KO on Stars finishing 73/1576 for $75 (about $6k ftw iirc)
I mincashed 888's $35 Challenge finishing 107/919 for $49.99 ($6.2k ftw)
And the big one, I FT'd Party's $100 main, finishing 3rd (out of 110) for $1120 ($2k ftw)
Good times!!
I did log on briefly to watch a little bit - like the poster above there did seem to be some very friendly flops coming your way!
Was amazed by some of the play in the early stages of that £22BH... can only assume that some of the people on your tables were thinking at a way higher level than my simple poker brain.
Did you manage to cap the stream with some decent cashes?
Truth be told, the first night was a bit of a nightmare... obviously I was a bit nervous as it was my first time, then for various re-decorating reasons at home I had to move my set up to the kitchen to do it (just for that one night, it's back now), then on top of that, Sky Poker and Party Poker wouldn't let me go in! So I was annoyed about not being able to play a lot of great comps, and my planned schedule had effectively just been chopped in half so I had to try and find other tournaments to play while running the stream, keeping talking etc... needless to say I started out a little flustered.
Next broadcast is going out for tomorrow night's session (Tuesday), again starting around 8pm in line with Sky's main event, and hopefully things will run a lot smoother this time!
As for the results last night, it was pretty poor/non-existent...
I got 1 head in the £22 BH on Sky and 1 head in the £55 BH on Sky (which is all I managed to play cos I couldn't log in til about 10pm).
Zero cashes on the other sites, yes I did run quite well at the start of the stream, made a few sets etc, the big pot with QQ was actually a pretty tough spot, I could really only beat bluffs calling the turn raise and river shove but I gave a decent (i think) explanation of why I thought we just had to call... I'll try to find that hand and post it up here if I can. But yeah so started running well, but towards the later part of the session (when it really matters) I just lost pretty much every single race. Closest I got to a cash was probably the big55, I could have nit folded and made the money pretty easy I think but obv that aint what I'm there to do, so shipped 55, called by AQ and couldn't hold. Actually, that's not 100% about no cashes, I think I got 1-2 heads in the $13.50KO and 1 head in the $27KO.
It was a pretty small session though cos there was about 6 comps I couldn't play on Sky, and 2-3 on Party, so missed off a huge chunk of what I'd normally play. I added in a few extra ones on stars and 888 to bulk it up but still wasn't as big as I'd have liked so was still only like -$120 ish I think.
The thing is with MTTs and the streaming is that I'm sure there's gonna be lots of nights where I don't get many/any results, that's just the way MTTs go, but will deffo be fun and exciting when I get to stream my first really deep run/FT.
Shakin, they aint thinking on higher levels than you, it was mostly just a lot of bad play. People make the mistake of thinking 'oh it's a £22 BH, not a £5 one, so everyone is gonna be a sicko', it just isn't the case, not on here at least. I'd happily buy a % in you playing those £22 BHs whenever u wanted.
Fascinated by this and will try and look you up on Tuesday.
Couple of questions:
1. Do you stream on a time delay?
2. Does streaming create lag?
Either could be a bit -EV for you.
For the sakes of constructive criticism I thought I'd point out a couple of things; I don't know if you were aware of your constant coughing, particularly in the first half-hour, I don't think you mentioned it. Anyway, it was moderately annoying. If you watch some of it back you'll see what I mean. Also I couldn't see a chat-box like I usually do on Twitch streams. You were answering questions, so obviously there was one running unseen to me. Maybe that was a problem at my end.
Anyway, good job, run well.
Lol Mike, the cat problems will be a thing of the past. We were/are in the process of re-decorating so I had to play in the kitchen which meant Emma didn't wanna be walking thru the kitchen in front of the camera to let the cats in so I had to do it. In future I'll be back at my desk upstairs and Emma will be free to let the cats in and out.
Are twitch streams recorded or can you only watch them live? There aren't many online vids explaining/showcasing MTT play specifically on Sky so I'm interested in watching the sessions you put on the net to try and get some ideas to improve my own game, but won't be online tonight.
Erm, I think there's a way to make it so every stream goes into live an archive of videos to watch from my Twitch profile but I don't think mine is set up to do that atm. I'm still new to it all so will get that set up asap. Yeah that's partly why I wanted to do it, the fact it's all 6max and doesn't have antes makes a big difference and I think in general the 'average' player style is different on here to other sites.
I wouldn't worry too much if you miss tonight, I plan on doing multiple shows per week once I get everything running smoothly. Also, it's optimal I'd say to have no more than 4tables on Twitch at any one time (it only films a portion of my screen), but I tend to have around 9-10 tables going, at least until later evening when i've bust a few, so the plan is to pretty much always have 4 Sky ones as the 4 I show on Twitch which is good for you. I'd probably swap one out if I'm going deep/FT'ing on another site but will mostly be Sky.
So for the last week the only comp I can play on here is the 10:30pm £55 BH and I've ran pretty terrible in it every night in the deep stages. Had a great stack tonight then AK<A6, QT<AK, A8<KQ in the space of 5 mins and it's gg about 5 off the money.
=============================================================
Not much in the way of results on the stake recently, nothing big anyway. I FT'd the $50 turbo BH again, bust 4th for about $390, little under break even over the last week.
Had a few near misses tonight but nothing to shout about, ran pretty awful tonight. Got ITM in the big55, and was in a great spot to get a stack and really push on then TT<77 put a swift end to that so cashed for $100. Few other deep runs that fell apart just before the money. I got coolered about 6 off the money in the $100 party main, left with about 5xBB, stagged on for a bit but finished about 3 off the money.
Weekly Pocket5s update was done again (every Wednesday) and I've moved up to 661/3166, not bad considering I was like 2500+/3166 a few weeks ago, and just shy of $10k cashes so 10% of the way there to my target with only 1 month gone.
Just checked and I got a shark on SS for the stable too
