MattVIP: NL10 on sky? Hope you're gonna crush it sir and get to NL20 (maybe NL50?) before the end of the year.

Yep, thats the plan.

First couple of sessions back at 10NL on Sky. Not many hands per session as I'm playing MTTs too.

Tue 20 Sep 2016 – Sky Poker 10NL 4h 00min 585 hands Winnings: £23.33

Wed 22 Sep 2016 – Sky Poker 10NL 2h 15m 373 hands Winnings: £8.90

This is the standard in microstakes MTTs. 250bb deep and there's a limp UTG followed by an all in.

For the record I folded my fives.

Lets hope the OPL has some of these players also

I'm sure it will. $500 added on the 888 one right? Sick value!

My blog on the OPL.

Look forward to following your progress on th OPL and hope you have another profitable season. Is the OPL open to anybody, it really interests me, I won't have the time to play every single tournament/event but it sounds like great value regardless how many tournaments you play?

Its open to anyone! I couldn't play many tournaments myself in season 1 of the OPL but I still managed to get £50 from the leaderboard! So you don't really need to play the, all (Or even half of them)

BarraBod:

Fantastic, thank you, I shall have a little search around then and find out where to register and have a good luck at the schedule.

Thanks man. I'll be playing as many as I can. Have to work a few saturday nights in October which sucks but I hope to play at least 30. Yeh you should definitely join in, the value is so good. Chat with one of the admins to make sure you get setup correctly. @CrazyKeri sorted all mine out.

First win

Nice one, thats some very valuable points right there! I decided not to play last night and go play down my usual sports bar... wished I stayed at home.

Leaderboard after week 1:

I've played 6 of 9 with only one cash. Got to make this next week count!

Think I've also played 6 of 9, 0 cashes...

I was unfortunate enough to be on your right yesterday Gordan, on the 888, under the name CarefulCarp, you played well, and still think my QQ was the right fold against your cold 4bet shove, not looked at the leaderboards yet but I hope you had a successful day

Remember as well the OPL is best 10 results so the good thing is if you have bricked so far it literally does not matter. Can still win the league and loads of added money to still be picked up.

Enjoy your evenings off and will see you back on Coral tomorrow guys!

Ah that was you, yeh tough spot that one. I had a terrible day, no cashes in 3 tournaments and a bad cash game session.

Yeah, you was either AA, KK or AKs for sure, so it was close, although seeing the first card on the flop was a Q made me feel sick. We all have bad days, hopefully it is short lived

Taking a couple of days off. So tilted from such a bad start to the league. I'm playing terribly and not enjoying it. So I'll skip tonight and tomorrow, then get back to grinding cash and tournaments on Sunday. Laterz.

Just an update to say I probably won't be posting for a while. My mental game has gone to shit. Can't lose a single hand without completely tilting. I've got other things to focus on for a while so I think it's a good time to put poker to the bottom of my priority list. I'll still play the odd OPL tourney and cash game but until I can get my head straight (on and off the table) I think trying to grind out sessions is pretty -ev. Until next time...
