Cashed for $75 in a 27pko finishing 132/1510, and a few other small cashes/bounties in other comps. Small loss overall on the stake for the night.
On Sky my main and mini was just a disaster, was in for £33 main and £27.50 mini, and never got a stack in either. Got £7.50 of heads in one £11 BH, £21 total for mincash and few heads in another £11 BH, and couple of heads but no cash for £37.50 in the MBI. Saved the night though by almost winning the £22BH again, I had a huge CL pretty much the whole way and went into the FT as CL. Eventually got HU as a slight underdog but imo had a pretty big edge. It was a pretty big HU as well, cos villian has a huge bounty, about a £250 difference between 1st and 2nd for me. I got the CL back but just couldn't keep any sort of momentum going and eventually the bustout hand was when I limped the button w/ K9cc, flop was 679c and villian had 58o, was never going to end well. So I got about £240 for 2nd place.

Bricked all of 888, came close again to a FT in one of the stars' KOs finishing 20/539 for about $40 ($1k ftw) and bricked an $11 sat for the $9mil SM this weekend.
I finalled the $20 FO on party, was 3handed against two pretty bad players, was 3/3 but still had like 30bb, payouts were 130/170/230. Then suddenly the game got cancelled due to some technical fault with the site... we all got 3rd place money, then 50% of the remaining prizepool was chopped equally, the other 50% was chopped based on stacks, and we all got our $20 BI back too. So I ended up getting $206, not bad when I was 3/3 and first was only $230. Annoyingly it won't go on Pocket5s though so I don't get my medal
Also played a £3.30 BH on Sky just to keep up my table count, finished 8/98 for about £9

Back on the grind later tonight.
Only 1 cash this morning, but it was a win so it's all good

Played a little bit of cash this morning too. It was just while tables were getting really low and I saw a really soft 100NL table so just played that 1 table on the side for a while, finished about +£175 there.
Deffo back online to grind tonight.

Sky was pretty much a total white wash too. 1 bounty in the main and 25th in the mini for about £20.
Found out today that Pocket5s did give me the result/medal on there for that cancelled $20 FO, it counted it as a 3rd, I'll take it.

Played the usual Sky schedule...
8pm £33 main
8:15pm £11 BH
8:30pm Mini
9pm £55 BH
9:30pm £11 BH
10:15pm (i think) £22BH
10:30pm MBI
Oh I flicked in a £12 Roller Direct too just to take the money, but bricked that.
I have no idea why, just a really long very annoying piece of variance I guess but I have the most shocking record in Sky £33BH mains it's unreal. God knows how many I've played over the years, don't think I've ever even made a top 10 once.
Well tonight was no different
Was doing alright in the £22bh, can't remember what happened but lost a few big pots and bust 34th with £15 of heads.
The only other cash was me FTing the 9pm £55BH. I finished 3rd but it was a very frustrating 3rd. At one point stacks were something like 170k (me) v 60k v 30k, I got it in pre about 5 times to bust the shorty and lost all of them, then eventually got short myself, jammed 99, the guy who used to be the shorty called w/ A8o and flopped the ace. Pretty meh but got £285 so managed to save the night with that one and make a small profit.

Hi Paul
Not much in the way of results tonight either on the stake, few bounties in stars KOs and just bust my last comp for a mincash in 888's $22 Challenge, I got $31.97. This was the week/day I got freerolled into the 2 x $22 Challenges for cashing them both last week so at least that was a freeroll. Another loss but only a small one.
I had a small winning night on Sky. I came 2nd in the first £22BH of the night for just over £200, pretty sigh to not win cos we both had pretty even stacks HU and I GII pre AQ v A8, and whoever won had as good as won the comp, it wasn't me. Mincash and a few heads for £30 in one £11BH, £37.50 of heads in MBI but no cash, and just off the money but got about £9 of heads in the mini. The 9pm £55BH was pretty sigh, I 3b ship the flop with a set and villian literally snaps me off (this is level 1) with a bare straight draw and turns it to gg me. I played a £17 VLV sat too and won my £77 seat, took the money like (just incase) but will play the £77 sat on Saturday assuming I'm playing.

No cashes on stars/888. Was smashing the $50 turbo BH on party, was 1/10 with 8 paid and had $75 in bounties, but it's a turbo and plays very shallow and had TT<AA aipf against the only stack that could put any sort of serious dent in my stack, then gg'd the bowl I was left with shortly after just outside the money.
Cashed my first ME of 2015 tonight (god that's depressing lol... only mid March!), came 45/514 for £24, shipped 33 into Thewy's KK. Other results...
19/112 in £11BH for £15
17/265 in £11BH for £27
5/60 in 9pm £55BH for £140
Played a little bit of 100NL mastercash later in the evening when table count was low. Had to get a little bit of TV tarting in before 861 is gone
Staked Games: 162
Sky: 83
Probably won't do one Thursday night cos it's the last ever show of 861 and I'm sure everyone will wanna watch that (including me) so probably do first show on Friday night.

I'm sure you're all chomping at the bit
not that you need it but i wish you GL in all your games
So yeah I came 4rd in that $33 FO for $450 ($1.1k ftw), and got mincashes in an $11 6max turbo and a $20 FO.
When tables got low on the stream I loaded up some 100NL, to keep me busy and to keep enough games going for people to watch, finished about +£40
I'll stick the link below in case anyone wants to 'follow me' on there so you get an email notification when I go live with a stream...

======================================
I decided not to stream tonight's session, partly because I'm sure all the Sky players would have wanted to watch the last ever show on 861 over watching me, and also I wanted to watch it myself which I can't really do while streaming.
I bricked every single comp on sky bar one, like totally bricked, not a single head in any comp. The one I didn't brick was the £55 9pm BH, long story short I got HU and lost A9<KQ to finish 2nd for just over £600. Annoying not to win cos I had a pretty decent CL 3handed and GII pre against that guy who had a pretty huge head prize with AK v AQ and couldn't hold but meh, I'm sure I must have ran good along the way to get HU.
Very similar story on the stake, bricked every comp (apart from a few heads in KOs) and the only comp I had any success in was the $50 turbo BH on Party. I FT'd it but it plays so shallow so as soon as 2 half decent hands get dealt it's gg someone, and I had AJ<QQ to bust FT in 6th for about $250
Staked Games: 188
Sky: 91
So I'm up to 279 games total now for the month, just over half way to the target but nearly 2/3 of the way thru the month, so still about 30 games behind the pace I think. I'm gonna be making a really effort to get this Twitch channel up and running though with a decent base of viewers so that should motivate me to grind more than normal.

Pretty grim reading for me atm, but I have missed like 6+ weeks of the year due to the ISP issues and I know there's about £250 missing from my profit cos I keep track of every penny I spend/win at poker
Last night was my first time doing a night time session on Twitch so firstly I just wanna say thanks to all the sky regs that popped in throughout the night to say hello and get involved. My memory is useless so no doubt I'll forget some names but thanks to IrishRose, Maxally, Arazi, BigHawk, Macapaca, RSPCA, TommyD, MattBates, Dohhh, Don, Pat (day4eire), WrongJohn for turning up.
The twitch part of the night went pretty well I thought, there was a fair bit of viewer interaction going on and that helped me keep up pretty much a constant flow of talking throughout. I think we peaked around the 55 viewers mark which I'm pretty happy with considering only 10-15 of those were people that specifically turned up because they know me, and I'm told that's pretty decent going so early in the start up of my channel.
The poker side of it went pretty well too which is always nice when you're streaming cos it gives people something exciting to sweat. The biggest/best result of the night was FTing a $27ko on Stars.... anyone who has been reading the diary recently will know I've had countless deep runs in this comp and always fell short of the decent money, I knew it was only a matter of time before I was gonna FT it and last night I finally did. I busted out in 6th place for just shy of $1100.
I had a few other small cashes on te stake here and there, 100th/2010 in a $10 super KO on stars for about $40, few heads for $20 in $27pko, I got 20th out of 268 in the 11r on 888 that I've FT'd 3-4 times, I got $65 for that, and a mincash in an $11 FO on 888 too, finishing 22/279 for $18
===============================================
Sky was a similar story to my last session, I bricked pretty much every comp and left it down to the £55 9pm BH to save the night. Maintaining my solid record of struggling to last />30 mins in a main event, had QQ<KTo aipf in main to gg about 30 mins in. Few little cashes, £6.10 of heads in the mini and bust not far from the money, and got £23.57 in the 9:30pm £11 BH, finishing just outside the money iirc, 53/327. Again the £55 BH saved the night when I FT'd it for the 2nd night running, all stacks were pretty even when we went into the FT and it just went pretty bad for me, I just couldn't win a pot, managed to ladder one place, then shipped A6s I think, Rose rejammed KK and we bust in 5th place for about £230
That's another like +£100 night on Sky Larson... coming for you

Staked games I was about -$130 which is all good, didn't run very well, and there's a promo on one of the sites where I get 50% of my BIs back from this weekend so I'm getting about $50 back.
=================================
Anyway, the reason I wanted to post was just because I have some exciting news. As a few of you will know I've been streaming on Twitch recently and my first 2 sessions have went really well on there imo. Last night I'm not even counting as a session, annoyingly I had to cut the stream short early because EE are obv throttling my internet on Sundays and it made the stream totally unwatchable, so looks like I'll have to stick to midweek days in future for the stream.
Anyway, Pocketfives, the ranking site recently set up their own 'TV channel' on their site basically to host poker playing streaming from Twitch and I am going to be debuting on there this Tuesday 24th and then again on Tursday 26th March. Both times I'm gonna be starting around 7:30pm and going on until we either win everything or bust everything.
Think it should be ok to post this link but if not a mod can take it down

This is where it'll take place, and if you look on the right hand side below the chat box now you can see the schedule for the upcoming week including me. Fwiw, I really think this is exactly what Sky should be doing, and I think it is what they will do, set up their own 'SkyPokerTV' on the site as a place to stream Twitches and try to replicate some of the community feel of 861 but at a fraction of the cost.
If that is the route Sky take, then I'd love to spearhead that movement and so this is a great opportunity for me to try and build a big viewer base now that I'll instantly be able to bring over to the Sky Twitch.
Firstly, thank you again to everyone that joined in watching me host my first show on the PocketFives TV channel last night. I think it well pretty well, the guy who organises it all/asked me to do the show was appy with my style of streaming/hosting and I got the highest viewer count I've seen on there from the few streams I've watched on their channel. I was running at 55-65 viewers for most of the night which is pretty decent, that number is going up a little with every stream I've done so far.
On the poker front, it wasn't great but it wasn't awful either. I was pretty much break even on party as I got $45 in heads in the $50 turbo BH but just missed out on the $175 mincash
Was all looking a bit meh on Sky, few heads here and there but no deep runs in anything, then a few big hands and around midnight I was looking at trying to FT 2 comps on here. If I remember rightly I was 3/7 in a £22BH and 3/10 in the big £11BH (the 9:30pm one w/ about £450-500 ftw).
They didn't turn out that great in the end, I managed to FT the £22BH busting in 6th for about £140 (and maintaining my record of FTing a comp on every stream I've done so far), and I finished just off the FT busting in 8th in the £11BH, had a big flip with AKs against a PP... can't remember what it was but lost to bust in 8th anyway for about £50. So I ended up finishing about +£15 for the night.
While tables were low towards the end, just 2tabling those 2 BHs above I decided to add in a table of cash too, couldn't get on any 100NL tables, and there was only 1 50NL table with a space so just jumped on that for half an hour and finished about +£15 there.
Target is looking pretty hard to reach atm but it's not over till the fat ladie sings. I still got 7 days left of the month and 164 comps to go, so I need to average about 23 comps per day, definitely do-able but will be a push as obv I don't play 100% of days.

Ive started following you on Twitch.
Yeah, as Phil said, PocketFives is mainly a rankings site, it covers pretty much every site except Sky. You just have to sign up and as part of your profile you'll have to tell them your aliases on every site you play on and it'll auto get all the information since you started on that site, like here is mine: http://www.pocketfives.com/profiles/lambert180/
The thing I'm hosting on (PocketFivesTV) is just another Twitch channel just that PocketFives have a link to it on their own site.
So like... http://www.twitch.tv/lambert180 is my channel
http://www.pocketfives.com/pocketfivestv/ is their channel.
Both just channels/pages on Twitch but PocketFives give me a password/code so I can stream on their channel. Fwiw, some other places like Stars, Pokertube etc have their own Twitch channels too.
Twitch went well, will be glad to be back to my own channel tomorrow though as it's a lot less messing. A nice bink tonight meant I am still maintaining my success rate of making at least FT every single session I've played on Twitch.
Only other cashes (apart from the bink) on stake were just a few heads in KOs. That 27ko comp I FT'd last Friday and came 6th for just shy of $1.1k... well I FT'd it again tonight and went 1 better finishing 5th for nearly $1.6k. Was about $5250 ftw fwiw.
Not much success on Sky at all, finished about -£170. GG'd the main 99<77 aipf... soon all those Twitch viewers are gonna be able to see first hand how for some reason I can just never get a break in a sky ME.
