Cheers.

I've already won my seat for the main via Sky (thin), so was thinking more about the HR sats tbh. If they don't run any online sats for the HR, do you know if you can combine tickets. i.e. if I won 2 x main event tickets on party could I combine them for a HR seat?

TIA

Hi Rich,

Do you know when the satellites for UKPC are starting on Party? Is there a full satellite schedule somewhere, and are they donig sats for the hi roller on there?

Cheers

Just caught up on the last 2-3 pages of the diary that happened since I last popped in. Some very interesting topics/debates, always a good read in here.

How's things been going since your last update? Gonna be having another stab at the upcoming UKOPS? I know it's supposed to be a great time to play poker (December) and UKOPS is always good, but it's usually the one time I give it all a miss... spending time with family at xmas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> making a bit of extra at poker imo.

You gonna try any satellites for UKPC? I know it's a stretch for you to come a long way for the smaller events but £1k is a pretty chunky one (if you can get in cheap)

Had to bump to stop this diary falling off the first page.

Getting it back up and running yet andylad?

Cheers again for support all, got up to 33 viewers today which is pretty good for early hours of the morning, especially as it's only my 2nd stream for ages. Hopefully it keeps going up, don't forget to follow me on there for notifications of when I go live. You can also watch back old streams on there too.

Small loss today of about £1.40 so totals now are...

Bankroll: £106.56
Profit: +£6.56
Hours Played: 4

Probably gonna take the weekend off now and will be back again Monday morning at 10am again. Hope to see everyone back there.

Going live again now for the 2nd 'episode' of my Sky Spin Up

http://www.twitch.tv/lambert180

Just finished up, just over 2hr. Cheers for all the support, got to 18 viewers, I'll take that on my first go in a while, takes time for word to spread etc.

The account summary page wouldn't work on Sky and I forgot to note down balance at the start, and clearly I can't use a calculator either so had to go with 'Andy's' idea of contacting CC to ask for my balance pre-session so done that  and was about a BI up (only played 8nl today).

Bankroll: £107.98
Profit: +£7.98
Hours Played: 2

Someone kindly made this page for my Twitch channel too...

Going live for first session of the Sky Spin Up series in 5 mins

http://www.twitch.tv/lambert180

Afternoon guys and gals,

I decided to re-awaken my Twitch channel recently with the first 'show' being at 10am Wednesday 22nd Sept, and after some discussion with mates, one of whom doubts how do-able it is to move through the stakes from the bottom on Sky anymore given the 7.5% rake at micros, I've decided to do exactly that and try to prove him wrong.

I'll be giving myself a starting roll of £100 to play 4nl and 8nl, I'll only be playing 2 tables, all play will be live on Twitch and I will be using quite aggressive BRM to keep it exciting. Rough BRM rules will be...

Move to 10nl when roll is £150
Move to 20nl when roll is £250
Move to 30nl when roll is £400

Obviously I'll move back down stakes using similar guidelines too when necessary.

I'll keep everything updated for the challenge in this thread, and  update when I go live in here. All suggestions for the stream are welcome, all feedback is welcome. So it's gonna give me the impetus to get this diary back up and running.

Here is my Twitch link: http://www.twitch.tv/lambert180

Yeah the RIO vids are vv good.

You don't necessarily have to pay £60/70 per month btw, that's only for the Elite level, although that is where all the best vids are (but there are good non-elite vids too). There's also a ton of free material out there if you use Google.

Some harsh comments ITT imo.

Alright he's having a good moan, and maybe the use of the word depressed wasn't great but people say use the word in everyday language pretty regular without literally meaning they are clinically depressed, I certainly wouldn't have jumped to the assumption that OP is actually clinically depressed, just that he's a bit frustrated with the game atm.

All pretty standard imo, I've had a poker diary for years on Sky, and one thing I always said to myself at the start of it was that I wanted to be totally honest and include everything, the highs and moments when motivation/confidence is rock bottom etc, not wanting to be like some people who only post when they're winning, and inevitably, even if you're Pleno, that's gonna involve times when things feel like they're going really bad (even if to an outsider it doesn't seem so bad). I'm no where near OPs level of BI or skill but I know from personal experience how disheartening it can be sometimes when a particular online series is on or you're shooting at bigger comps and that's the time you happen to run awful, especially if comps like that don't run every week and it might be ages before you get to have another bash at them.

glgl in your upcoming comps and deffo keep posting!

I deffo prefer c/r flop, think it's gonna be pretty unlikely this flop gets checked through.

Have to b/f river

Cheers UgotNuts, I keep meaning to ask but are you a reg from sky/what's your alias, or would you rather not say?

Thanks all who have voted so far.

Another street has been announced, so we're up to the turn now. For anyone that has missed them and would like them all in one orderly fashion to make them easier to like all at once :p lol, here are my posts so far for the 3 different streets (the river will be released at 3pm tomorrow).

[HELP NEEDED!]

HELP NEEDED!


Feel a bit cheeky asking with stuff like this, but if you don't ask, you don't get....

I'm sure it's fine to link here cos there aren't any links to other poker sites or anything. Basically, I'm a member of a new/small/up-and-coming site which kinda merges FB and poker.

Anyway, long story short, they have a promo at the moment where they give you a HH (one street at a time) and you have to post what you'd do and the analysis behind your reasoning. The best analysis of the situation will win a €1.5k package to Malta. I'm pretty confident in my ability to analyse spots but only the top 5 people with the most 'likes' of their comment will be assessed by the judges, so that's where you come in

I need all the likes I can get to be in with a shout of being picked for the best analysis. You do have to sign up to do so (I think) but it's free and takes like <60 seconds, all likes will be very much appreciated

=================================================

On the poker front, things still going well for the month, I'm about +£1.3k on Sky and have received a little over £700 so far this month in chops from the stable. Life things have been pretty shitty so likely to not be playing again in May but at least I got a £2k month locked up if I do take the rest of the month off.
