adding one more aim, finish in the top 10% more than 10% of the time.
week 1 update +£720 + ticket for London live I have run deep in big fields 3 times, but only got a 5th, 9th and a 15th to show. So close to the nig money each time. If I keep playing well, the big cash will follow. |

week 2 update
I ran good and won last night's 9pm 12k, and played good to win a GUKPT seat and a 4th in the stars $100 plo8. In the 12k, with 12 or so left, I got my short stack in from the button with A4 only to run into a better ace and a mid pair. [ ] The straight for the triple up was well deserved. total +£1440 + GUKPT Seat + BF London Seat. Easy game |

week 3 was a bit rubbish. Did a few min cashes and failed miserably in the rest, but won the sky roller the other night, so back positive. I got a star on sharkscope for winning that. I am now 15th on the Sky year to date total profit list, which doesn't take much winning. I also managed 40 something in the stars $100 on sunday (from 3000), but the prize was a pretty grim $600. So I ended up playing to 2am and still made a decent loss on stars that night.
I don't know if anyone is playing TCOOP, but I played a couple the other night, and cahsed in one. The stalling was the worst I have ever seen. Half the table were stalling as it got to the $55 min cash (entry was $33). The worst thing was that they all seemed to carry on once they got past there to $57, $59 and $61. So my once healthy stack was converted to a 3 big blind shove at that stage. Only $80k up top, well worth stalling for that extra $6! Cheers fellas. Year to date +£600 + GUKPT Seat + BF London Seat. As an aside I got one of these for the new house http://www.charliesdirect.co.uk/products/the-nuttery-squirrel-proof-original-seed-feeder Unfortunately it appears to be bird proof too. The garden residents are too bird brained to find their way to the seeds, so I am guessing half have starved along with the squirrels by now. |

Is this the feeder where the bird has to tap out the first 20 notes of the theme of the 70's Topic add to open the sealed door...?

Things looking up in week 4. Managed to finish 2nd in the $100 1R1A on stars for just shy of £10k. Lost a flip heads up then final hand was AJo vs KhJh (stacks 1m/2m) all in pre. Flopped an ace with two hearts. Can't complain, as I was happy to deal 5 handed when the donk had gone and we were all even. GUKPT was the same as usual. Got up to £25k without hands by first break. Got KK (ace high flop) and QQ (AQT flop) in next two hours and dropped to £12k at the next. Spewed a couple of hands to drop to 6k. Then got AA, JJ without a caller. Shoved 5k, QdJd from button with 200/400 and 50 ante, AK off behind. Jxdd flop, but he still hit the river. At least that frees me up for tonight's big session. Looking forward to a TCOOP main event/sunday million double! YTD +£8100 + BF London live ticket |

I won the $100 plo8 on stars last night. Despite that and two other cashes, I think I am bound to be down on the night.
2012 wins: stars $100 plo8, $12k on bf and £100 sky roller. |

cheers klup
I am trying to be positive this year and I am hoping it will make a big difference. If I keep getting in when 70/30 and running deep then I am going to cash big some times. I am coming round to believing that moaning about beats in the thread is just going to make me feel negative about poker. I am also trying to play just a couple of long sessions a week so it doesn't become a grind. Though with the new baby, I am not sure I could play many more even if I wanted to! The plo8 was a really good result as the fella I smashed up heads up is highly ranked on pocket 5s and had owned me on a couple of previous occasions late on in the same tourney. Of course, it is easier to be positive when 8k up at the start of the year rather than 15k down. See how I feel after the inevitable downswing later in the year. Clearly going to crush BF London live even with ThaKlup present. |

Hello,
That will be a good and nice start to this year...! keep enjoying the game and best of luck for everyone...! |

We live on a Headland, about 200 yards from the North Sea so get a lot of migrants at the bird feeders this time of year. For the third year running the bird table has been dominated by the same Scandanavian Robin.
Without wishing to racially stereotype him, for a little fella he's incredibly loose agressive and always seems to end up with the nuts, to such an extent that 3 local blue t1ts have gone on the RSPB message boards alleging my feeders are r1gg3d.  |

hmmm 666 views on the thread. That could explain why the last 2 weeks have been runbad city.
Nothing much to report, down to +£5600 for the year. I don't think my game has suffered much, so onwards and upwards. |

Keep on running good.

The minor downswing is officially over.
I played 16 tournaments last night, and cashed in 6. More importantly I got a third in the 50 rebuy on ongame. I managed to shove JT off in to QQ when I only had around 7 BBs and survive with 20 or so left. That wipes a few recent run bads on sky and the harsh AT vs AJ on an ace high flop that crippled me 3 handed. Yearly total +£8300. |

lol at seeing me losing fortunes at 2.5/5.
We have only been on ongame for 18 months. I guess if you concentrate on polishing your rocket while playing 2c/4c, you aren't going to notice that there aren't any 2.5/5 tables anymore. 2nd in the $50 turbo on bf tonight. |

By:
ongame? who said anything about ongame? think you need to concentrate a bit more on who's rocket your partner is polishing rather then boring everyone with your pathetic "i'm a success" thread. met you a few times via betfair live poker events and have to say you come across in person as you do on here, full of crap and arrogant totally oblivious to how much of a prat you are making yourself look. My grandad used to gamble on the horses and he would brag about how much he has won and how good his bet was and when he lost the odd time is was because of this and that and..... yawn. poker is a game of luck. If a million poeple was to enter a poker tournament who would win? the perceieved top players in the world? phil ivey? how about 5 times on the trott? what about a tennis tournament? if a million people was to enter I can GTD you it WOULD be the top players in the world who would win. You are just doing what most football supporters do, compensating for your complete lack of skill and talent by making out your a "skilled" poker player, most football fans get this buzz by seeing "their team" score a goal or win a game and think that they have done something or got an advantage over someone because of this. very very sad, please stop posting and do something much more productive and worth while, maybe get some help for you gambing addiction. over and out.

Obviously some people were never read the boy who cried wolf story as children.
Small downturn, but still getting to the end stages of tourneys, so no real worries. People like to flip on stars. I am thinking of downloading pokerstars.fr, does antbody here play on it? +£16k for year+GUKPT seat. |

cheezer, I know you obviously don't care but I thought I'd say anyway - you really are a co ck lol
 . And just for the record, I've met Doobs a few times at Betfair doo's in the past and he's been nothing but a nice guy. You really should stick to your 2c games and not get so bitter towards other better skilled people who do a lot better than yourself.  Doobs, I'd be flattered by the stalkamont attention, he's got a proper hard on for you lol,plain for everyone on here to see he's just a pathetic jealouser. Btw, do you not play any cash tables on Sky? Not seen you there at all. |

cheezer, have you met me a few times too since you were at all these Betfair events? Perhaps you can refresh my memory if so lol

Btw, do you not play any cash tables on Sky? Not seen you there at all. I don't play cash anywhere anymore. I think I played 15 sessions last year, and none online ofr 6 months. Of course even if I had, I couldn't have done it at 2.5/5. I just play tourneys on sky at the mo, but have been contemplating making a comeback on cash there. I have played a couple of the sky cash superheroes in tourneys and they don't seem that great. I'd happily lay you a ton that either of us has met Cheezer ever. |

After playing/spewing vs the donks in the ongame plo8 GSOP, I tilt joined the $500 weekly plo8 on stars. I haven't played it before but it is a 20 minute blind 5000 chip game that was always going to finish late.
The structure was great and gave me room to spew a couple of hands but still keep a playable stack. We got 3 handed at about 3.30am and I think I had 90k vs 110k and 120k. I think the blinds were only around 1.5k/3k, so the game could have easily gone on another hour and I had someone coming round to do some work on the house in the morning. I think I had the measure of one of my oppos but was happy to take the chop for just shy of $7k in the circumstances. I also won another GUKPT seat last night. Last night's sat was a £150 freeze, but I played the wierdest sat on Sunday. It was a £50 rebuy with one seat guaranteed. I think it had around 12 runners. I immediately rebought to get 4k chips. Nobody else did. By the time the 1 hour rebuy was up, we were 3 handed and not one opponent who got knocked out had rebought. They then did a ridiculous 10k add on for another 50, and one of my oppos didn't even take the add on. Of course I got into a big flip with the other big stack straight after the add on and was crippled. I think the best strategy for that sat is to only rebuy if you need to and take the 10k add on. It goes against the grain when the field is that soft, but I expect the maths is compelling. The GUKPT is really odd this year. I can't play the Walsall leg in a couple of weeks and the next £1000 leg isn't until August, which seems a stupidly long wait to me. I haven't got my spreadsheet on this pc, so will have to do the monthly figures tomorrow. Finally glad to see the back of the Epic poker league. [ ] The Lederer family sure have great business minds. gl at the tables |
