Was slightly tilted yday after busting however feeling really good now - had a word with my backers and decided to play the $1k SCOOP tonight though will be selling a bit. Feeling super motivated for the rest of the series and after a few near misses for $50k+ scores im surely due to close something soon!

Well the $1k didn't really go to plan!

A hand very early on cause the damage...

His river bet was really fast and we tanked for like 90 seconds before calling.. felt like such a gross spot but i think we beat enough to make the call good.

Then had around 2.5k Open     to 150, flat from button.    we bet 250 he calls.   we bet 400 he calls. Lovely   river we check / fold when he effectively sets us in.

Busto hand was pretty meh... UTG opened playing heads running 24/20 with high ep open, percieved whale running 25/10 flats from 35bbs from MP. We find AQ with 20bbs and stick it in. Guy has AA...

Other then that online has been pretty dirty over the last few days - I've been busting in pretty brutal fashion when fairly deep. One period stands out clearly in my mind when i managed to go from 8 tables (deep in 5) to 3 tables within 5 minutes - needless to say the 5 tables i was deeper on were the ones i busted. (11r AH - AJ < KK JJ6 ai on flop for CL with 20 left) (SCOOP med ante up KK < AQ on Q36 ai on the flop for alot) (11r 1010 < 77 on 8 6 3 ai on the flop for top 3 stack vs the table with 30 left) and lost 2 flips AKs < 1010 both times - both times they flopped me dead. So that was pretty annoying.

Also on Thursday gone by, i decided that I'd take a shot at the GPS. This didn't turn out very well at all for me as i managed to bust 2 bullets in pretty quick sucession - first when i turned topset into a bluff on a 4 flush as i literally didnt think he could have the nut flush then way the action went - he did. The second bullet i got   ai on   vs   and bricked for a pretty massive stack (1.5x average at the time). Then went and played some cash where i dropped a decent sum total. There were 3 key hands.   <   on   for £700 (which relative to my worth is a pretty decent sum).   <   (yes 63o) on   when a maniac took off vs me... it ran out   ......... ......... for ~£1.2k then i bricked with   on   vs   for just shy of £1k... This was actually the most I've ever lost whilst own diming live poker in one day - the car journey home wasn't particularly nice as i was probably over - analysing slightly and looking for things i did wrong - however the majority of the day was pretty standard (other then the 63o hand - and possibly when i turned topset into a bluff on a 4 flush - but tbh I'd do the same again lol...).

So all in all I've actually had a pretty brutal week since the SCOOP sweat. I've also managed to tick two boxes i really didn't want to be ticked;

• Biggest ever losing day live.
• Biggest ever losing week live + online combined.

(Oh forgot to mention i did actually play the 215Med Turbo SKO last night aswell as the 27Low Turbo SKO - and although i didn't cash in the end i did make 4 bounties in each of them - so every cloud and all that!)

Tom, what was your thoughts about putting the two other players in the GPS? You said something briefly, but definitely confused about why...

Glad to hear about the results mate, shame about checking those boxes...

on the plus side, I've found that every time I've broken my 'biggest losing' record I find that the pain of normal poker lessens.


best of luck for rest of the scoop mate.

I might just be calling river, don't see any need in raising river, struggle to see what calls u if u are in front. I don't get that far, as I would have got it in on the turn, so same outcome. Ul

Tbh dreenie really thought his turn 4b was fos and he pinged a pair on river. e.g. KQ...etc seemed far more likely then quads. only realistic house i was thinking was full as think he 3b's a fair % - still flatting river may be much better!

Todays really not going very well. Just bubbled the big 162 after a car crash in the big 55 when we have alot of chips only for a moron to peel my utg open from utg+2 with 78s from 25bbs and pings the world vs me.

Currently left in all 3 SCOOPS ($11 / $109 / $1050 - where this just happened... http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-hands/Boom/3249883_14159FF776 - villain was a supernova - hand was readless - his sizing made me felt like it was / QxKc....etc) / 33 quad / 55 500cap / hot 44.

Woud really like to win one!

[dreenie]

sigh - 2 points

A) U seem to get Aces a lot

B) He's supernova, what else can he have LOOOOOOOL

glglgl

[youthnkzR]

Haha dreenie i get aces a fair bit - can't complain on that front

Todays been kind of mixed to be totally honest - On 1 hand I'm +$3k on the day however this could have been a lot more!

Came 108th in the 8max WU MED ($215) for ~$700 and 245th in the $1k Med Main for $2.4k (JJ < AK - however can't complain as on the pure bubble of the sat i was 35/35 - 34 seats and all in on my BB and won so basically freerolled!).

Still in the $109 Low Main (67/390)... has $230k ftw so lets have a good end to SCOOP.

Will summarize SCOOP tommorow.
