congrats on your results so far in your stable, i hope it all continues to go well for you
Cheers RLT, yeah I deffo plan on doing more, I'm gonna do them regular but think I'm gonna hold off doing them until this issue gets sorted with Sky/EE. According to EE it should be resolved in 48-72 hours, but we'll wait and see.
===========
Pretty sigh end to the session. It was a grim session where literally by midnight I have 0 cashes, and 1 comp left, managed to convert that 1 remaining comp into a deep run. It was a $5 cubed, and was my chance to save the session, then with 15 left, I GII for a decent stack with AKvA6, flop is 6xx and it's gg
Back fresh for tomorrow to go and win some comps!
I'm about to send you a PM because I still haven't heard anything back about it.
==================================================
Results been pretty meh recently, loads of shots at binking but no been able to convert any of them. The ones I can remember only the last few days...
I was 5/12 in a $35 6max turbo, GII AK v A3 and chopped it, a hold there puts me 1/11
Same night as above I was really deep in an $11r doing well, can't remember how it happened but bust in 15th for like $70. $2.1k ftw there.
Last night was the grimmest of them all, really deep in 888's Challenge $35 2nd chance comp, big field, I'm down to the last 11, GII for a big stack with KK<A6o and he gets the Axx flop. That didn't bust me but was down to about 12bb, someone bust so it was FT bubble now w/ 10 left, and I'm now 10/10 after the KK hand... I ship A7o and get snapped by AA
Still mega frustrating on Sky can barely play a single comp on here atm, think I'm prob like -£150 ish for the month mostly from MBIs.
I assume you mean you said to the tech boys if you don't fix the problems soon you will punish them by making them read all 130 pages of Lambo's diary!
Matt
I cashed the $27ko with a few heads for $66
Cashed a $3r for $17, very big comp, think i was like 160th out of a few thousand. When I went to bed Bates was still going in it with 30 left, not sure how he got on.
Went deep in the $13ko too, came 33/1716 for about $50
Deep run in Party's $50 main, but bust ATs<AQs in 15th for $150 ($2k ftw).
FT'd the $11rebuy on 888, gutting though had TT<77 which would have taken us 3handed and given me the CL but running spades gave him the 4flush so I got 4th for about $565
A +$500 ish night overall so not bad, just frustrating to not convert a few of those runs into proper scores.
How did the morning session go?
Had another good session tonight, but again can't help but feel frustrated. Pretty nuts but went and FT'd the 11r on 888 again, but just couldn't get anything going on the FT, got down to final 5, 3b jammed 33, called by A8o, we're good by the turn but needing to dodge like half the deck and we don't, gg in 5th for just over $500 ($2.2k ftw tonight).
Got mincashes (give or take) in $22 deepstack, $5.50ko, $11 FO and 27ko on stars so pretty much another +$500 day, but again so close to much more
Here's the stake SS fwiw, so that's like 5th Jan when I started up to now (so just over 1 month). Think SS aint the best at tracking 888/party so some stuff might be missed but it's probably pretty close. At least I still got my shark

Yeah Gary deffo don't BI to the Wednesday main if you're expecting to treat it like an £11 comp, I was talking to someone out this recently, and I'm sure someone will pop up with a story of how they ran insanely good and did it but realistically if you BI to the main and only spend £11, it's just dead money in the prizepool for the better players cos you'll have no hope. Gotta treat it as a £33 minimum imo cos we shuold be double stacking at the start, and taking the add-on is an absolute must, then there's always the potential to need to rebuy if things go wrong... I'd say a good player is gonna spend somewhere between £44-£66 on average in that comp.
Deepstacks are probably a good starting point if you don't really know what you're doing in MTTs, but take advantage of the fact it's so deep imo, try things out, see what works etc. If you get 5000 chips in a deepy and you lose 2000 in the first couple of levels, it really isn't the end of the world. If you're just gonna see it as 'well it's deeper/slower so I got even more time to sit there and wait for AK and JJ+' then you won't learn much imo.
WP on the DYMs. Yes Mega stack is good if you like that kinda thing, I find it awfully boring if I'm honest but I can see the appeal and as above, it'll give you a chance to try out some different things.
Finally got round to playing my first morning session, it looked very optimistic but fell flat again when it matters.
I was CL for pretty much 3 hours straight in a $10 FO on party up until the point of being 4handed. The blinds are 2.5k/5k, and the 4 stacks are roughly 100k (me) v 100k v 20k v 30k. Yeah I just get KK<AA against the other 100k stack
I also FT'd a $25 FO on 888 too with 92 runners, $590 ftw. I jam BvB w/ K9o, called by A3o, pretty much dead on A25r. I got 8th place for $90.
The only other cash was a mincash in a $10 FO on 888.
2 FTs from 11 comps, still make a small loss, mehhh.
Yeah deffo looking at more live comps this year, I was looking at 2 coming up a 25/25 leg and UKPC mini, but turns out they both fall on the same weekend and I'm away that weekend so gutted I can't play either.
Still not better with being able to access Sky sadly. Every passing week is killing my chances of getting on the SS leaderboard as I planned this year, beating Larson in the prop bet, and just making some £££
Now your with this stable I guess you are analysing hands and play a lot, are you learning lots and do you think 'oh yeah, that seems obvious now' for certain plays I guess these decent players go through?
With the problems you are having with EE, have you reported it to them instead of Sky? FWIW it sounds to me like a problem with EE.
All the best
Greg.
Yeah I've learnt so many things in a short space of time, suppose that was always gonna happen at first cos there was bound to loads of simple fundamental mistakes I was making that can be easily fixed, but I feel like I'm a lot better now than when I started.
Another decent night, another night of near misses but meh I keep winning so I'm not gonna keep complaining!
I FT bubbled my favourite comp, the $50 6max turbo BH on party. Finished 7th for $262.50
Mincashed a $35 turbo 6max on 888 for $42
And had a reallllly deep run in a $27ko on stars but not deep enough
Small profit on the night with the stake.
I heard talk on that EE/Sky connection problem thread from other EE people saying that it's been fine for them this week so I thought I'd give it a go and for some reason (I dunno if EE/Sky have done something) it seemed to work tonight. It was great to be able to play on Sky again, wasn't so great to brick every tournament like but you can't have it all! Hopefully I'll be able to play again next session.
What's the score with the stable thing, is it a staking deal or just like-minded people trying to improve their play by running through different hand histories and situations wanting to always improve?
Apologies if you have already mentioned it in the diary or would rather not talk about it in a Public forum.
Greg.
I got one of my mates who subscribes to sharkscope to set this up for me if you're interested. It's just a way to be able to search all of my aliases that I'm staked for in 1 search.

==========================
Not much in the way of results tonight, had a very sick run in a big comp but another near miss to list sadly.
The vvv deep run was me finishing 31/2606 in a $27KO for $123 (first prize was $8.2k + heads)... wierdly I finished 31st in that last session too, fun times!
Mincashed the big 55, and cashed with a few heads in a $20 turbo bh on party for $45.
Was hoping I'd be able to play on Sky again tonight after it all being fine on Friday, but no, same old problems, so another Roller missed, probably just another £110 saved. So could only play the MBI cos it's post 10pm, got 1 bounty for £18.75 and that was that.
I bust a few off the money in the $50 turbo bh (about 15th I think) but got $45 in heads
Deep run in the big11, finished 242/7083 for $35 (about $11k ftw)
Mincashed the 27ko for like $50
Deep run in a $3rebuy on stars finishing 15/1600 for $85 ($2.2k ftw)
FT'd the $11rebuy on 888 again, that's now the 3rd time I've FT'd this comp in 7 days which is pretty sick in a 300 runner field. Annoyingly finished 5th again though
I also won my $120 $1mil GTD Grand Prix seat last night on Party first go.
If we give villains range of 99-JJ, AT, AJ and KQ we are a 45% dog. Even if we add in 33-66 for good measure (seems absurd and non-ev to shove this many bb's with a small pair with 4 other players to get through) then we're only a 55% fave. If we remove small pairs but add some weak Ax hands we're still a 55% fave. With ICM determinations too, I think this is a clear fold with no read on villains range. Obviously if we had a better read on his range and was likely at least a 55% fave vs that range then it's probably a call but since we don't know that we just have to fold.
Be interesting what better MTT players think of it tho.
Nice going anyway! Sure a big score will come along soon
Reading through your posts tho confirms to me how much MTT's frustrate me. I love playing them but don't think I could play them regularly.. it's just so tilting to get so many close scores and in my case I'm always so self critical and if I make the slightest mistake that I think cost me from a big score it takes over a day to recover from it! A big mistake late in a MTT is a lot more damaging than a big mistake in a cash game and because of the amount of decisions in cash it's easier to recoup from the mistake than in a tournament when one mistake can mean you bust out.
Imo 8's is a fold, Ivan summed it up nicely. As CL 5 handed I'd rather be opening lots of pots, putting pressure on people and winning a lot of uncontested pots than take very marginal flips for a large % of your stack.
I'd say 55/66/77 are all pretty standard shove spots for villian, definitely not absurd, and I'd expect to see those way more often than JJ. 99 he probably open ships but that's probably the only better hand than mine that does open ship, maybe TT, that's borderline. I'd 100% expect him to induce JJ+
Plus don't think we can say he open ships JJ but he's gonna induce AQ. I'd be a lot more inclined to include AK/AQ in his jamming range than I would JJ, especially if we're giving credit for him open shipping JJ.
Fwiw, I am 1/5 but there's hardly anything in it, I'm CL with 30bb, he's the shortest stack and still has 20bb, I'm only a few bb ahead of most players.
Also I'm not readless, should have mentioned that in OP I guess, although unlikely we'll ever be readless with 5 left on a FT if we've been paying attention. This guy is fairly laggy, opening/raising wider than most and a decent 3b % (not that it's relevant in this spot)
========================================================
Sigh just got the HH up in HEM2 and got quite a few things wrong in my initial description lol. Blinds had just went up that hand so stacks slightly shallower than I said, and I've just about lost the CL.... 2/5 just stole blinds the hand before.
It's 12.5k/25k with 2.5k ante and stacks are
UTG (who shoves) 395k
CO 428k
BTN 627k
SB 393k (after his SB)
BB (me) 574k (after my BB)
So it's a 16bb jam w/ antes obv, and I've got 24bb, 5handed, does this change anything for you guys? I think it's reallly borderline in terms of $EV. It's clear cut +cEV AINEC, just not sure about $EV wise, I'll try and find the lobby/full details and run it through ICMizer later.
Fwiw payouts are very steep on 888, from memory it's something like....
5th = $470
4th = $570
3rd = $680
2nd = $1150
1st = $2200
16bb's does change it some-what - that makes 55 seem completely standard to ship now. I still think I would fold 88's but think it's v-v close and think the call is probably OK/fine especially given the steep payouts. 99 would def. be a call. Be interesting to see what ICMizer says!
Yeh now that it's 16bbs and the guy is laggy calling is a lot closer. Villain may just ship his entire opening range from this stack size (don't think it's good but see lots of players do this.) so villains range is gonna be wider.
