Unlucky, hope things pick up for you soon!

that QQ v A7 sick beat but you played it fine I think the two clubs would have only thing id av been worried about having him on a AK AQ type hand keep pushing on we need donkys like
him in the game don't be shy to show aggression I fnd checking back top pair an check raise the turn is where we get paid

Yeah I just called the flop coz I didn't want to fold out his garbage! When the turn blanks I was just waiting for him to barrel it!

Anyway ppl I've had a few days off! I didn't say anything but I had a job interview yesterday for a promotion at work so I didn't want to be added any extra stress dealing with a downswing too! Found out today I got the job WOOOOOOO!!

Gonna start back on the grind this weekend! Really tempted to play one of the wpt Newcastle side events too but will see how the weekend pans out!

disagree. Think we should be 5 betting to get it in pre tbh. Dont like flatting the flop either.

Basically if we are flatting pre to trap we should be raising the flop and getting it in.

congrats on the promo at work!
the QQ hand are u just calling pre hoping to avoid A or K otf? or u just put him on trash to begin with when he cold 4bets? u must have had a read cuz at these stakes its usually a monster. i would be calling pre and fist pump shoving allin on this flop

Thanks Jon and Number 10! Yeah i didnt want to just 5 bet get it in because rightly or wrongly I have found at these stakes you are never in front getting it all in pre with QQ! What do people think?? The more aggressive players occasionally show up with AK but 90% of the time your dominated!

Anyway I had about 10 days off with the snooker being on and my interview and my downswing etc! Just didnt feel like playing! Started back yesterday and I decided to switch to 20nl standard rather than speed! I have always done better at standard for some reason! And boy im glad I did haha! Have only played abt 1k yest and today and have won almost $200! Have ran good but like to think I have played ok too!

Im prob gonna get slated for this hand but ill post it anyway! In my defence the other 5 players at the table were huge fish which is why i called pre! 3 of them were playing between 45-50% of hands!

Seriously nice work man. Dont know how you can take 10 days off tho lol.

Haha I'm not sure I could have mate if the snooker wasn't on! I tend to hibernate for 2 weeks when it's on! I watched your vid today on sky poker and I really like the look of it! Might give it a whirl over the weekend!

Hey man did you try out Sky Poker?

It is a really dope site and well worth checking out. Make sure you sign up through our link to get the rake back: [url]http://www.pokervip.com/deals/independent/skypoker/[/url]. If you need any help just add me on Skype jon_pokervip or PM me on here

Thanks Jon ive sent you a PM! Just deposited on sky tonight and i really love it! The software is so much better than i poker super fast and user friendly! When someone leaves the seat re fills pretty much instant! And as for the player pool................people make some INTERESTING plays

Hey ppl I haven't been updating much as I'm plyn on sky poker and HM doesn't work on it so I can't really post any graphs or anything.........unless there is a way to track profit etc on there..??

Anyway I'm not even sure how many hands I've played this weekend but been plyn 3 tables for a total of abt 3 hours and up £55! Been plyn a mix of 10-20 and 15-30 as there is not as much traffic and the 2 levels play no different really! Totally love sky poker it has made poker fun again! I was starting to get really bored really quickly with grinding but it's great fun on sky poker!

Hi guys I havent posted in here for ages........mainly because im on sky poker so dont have any hud so no stats graphs etc!

Anyway since switching to sky poker i have been on the biggest tare of my life! Obv dont have any stats but ive just booked my 17th winning session in a row! I have been very busy with work and gym etc so i really havent played a great deal! I estimate 10k hands since switching to sky poker and ive doubled my bankroll from my £500 starting roll! I have hugely reduced my variance by completely going against the grain and playing really passive! I know i sound like a loon but there really are that many whales that it is just a waiting game before one of them erupts ha!

Anyway with poker going well and because Ive wanted one for ages I got myself a treat last week

Mine is a corei5 tho obviously ha!

I have only had this a week and i really cant reccomend it enough to any poker player! I used to really struggle with 4 normal cash tables on a standard computer but the touchscreen is so easy to use i could do 6 no problem now! I absolutely love it!!

Hey Jef, welcome back! looking forward to your updates, what stakes you playing at now then after doubling your roll?

Alright mate! On sky it's all in sterling so the games obv play a bit bigger so I'm at £30nl at the min! Started at £20nl! The two levels have very little difference to be honest just a few more regs at 30! Want to grind at 30 for a while before dipping my toe in the £50 games as it's quite a jump!

Holy moly what a great new post! Awesome to see the success and i hope it continues.

Sky deffs help bridge the gap by offering games like 30nl. The jump from 20-50nl can be big and daunting so the 30nl level is a seriously nice stepping stone and gets you ready for 50nl.

Did you sign up with us and receive the rb and bonuses?

Yes mate I signed up thru here and got the RB! Like I said I haven't been plyn that much so haven't took full advantage of it! It's less % than my Ipoker account too but I'm not one who can grind loads of tables for hours and get most of my profit from bonuses! I'd rather sit and relax and enjoy it and take advantage of the softer games! Sky is literally my fav software of any site and I really enjoy poker again! Where before I was getting bored quickly! I still have my full roll on Ipoker but I haven't even logged in since joining sky! Can't thank you enough for the recommendation Jon
