Charlie Wates shoves over a Tom Walster bet from the big blind on a Q-3-K-10 board

Is Charlie going to final, get AK...and fold to a 3 bet shove again?
Played with him at Abingdon a few months ago, nice lad and decent player! (even after the AK hand)

My two mates run a Marbella company for things like hotels, villas, days out, vip nights out, hotel transport, anything and everything really.

If group of you are thinking of booking  a place, get in contact with them and say I sent you, should get a nice discount.

I'm a good negotiator, with a lifetime's experience at making deals. (Through business, not poker). I know that to get the best deal, you often have to have to push as hard as you can, I mean get right in someone's face, and defend your corner vigorously and vocally.

I don't mind this in business, business men understand it. As soon as the deal is done it's all forgotten, but I don't want to be brow-beating some boor kid or some old dear who has never had to negotiate a deal in their lives.

There is enough confrontation in this world. I don't want to walk into a card room and have someone newbie hold a grudge because they think was bullying them or I ripped them off. By the same token I don't want experienced players getting narked because I didn't chop it when they wanted to.

On the rare occasions when I do make a final table, I am never the first to mention a deal, but I can't help being distracted by constantly calculating and re calculating how much I would want if a chop is offered. I think I would be much more relaxed and focused on actually winning the bloody thing if chopping it were not an option.

So basically, I guess I'm in the 'No deals' camp.

Lastly, my congratulations to all those involved in making these tough decisions at DTD. The vast majority of players realise that it they us who will ultimately benefit, and are hugely grateful for the hard work you put in.

Definitely agree with this, people will concentrate more on playing their game rather than working out what they could ladder to on a deal (which happens all the time), I only final tabled the Deepstack once, I come to table as chip leader with 1/3 of chips in play and was coolered twice in huge hands. As soon as I went out 5th they did a 4 way chop 12k,12k,10k & 9k I think it was! But i was there to win not deal or fold and ladder!

Even though saying all that, I am normally up for a fair deal but I like the stance! at least players know before entering what the score is!

what happens if 2 more turn up and he then walks away, this could happen all day until they all make day 2 (very unlikely and ridiculous) but could happen!!

Wadey now in contention for the chip lead.
He tells us he had  , flop comes  , Skipper bet out 50k, Wadey jammed thinking he was going to get a call but didn't.
I'd put him on half a mil, hard to tell based on how high he stacks his chips

Go on Wadey!!!

new chip leader and the clash came on the table where you would expect it


David Montague opened the cut off

Rupinder Bedi 3 bet on the button

Peter Linton 4 bets the big blind

Montague 5 bet jams

Bedi folds

Linton calls

450,000 pot

Linton K-K

Montague......


......

2-4. Offsuit


2-J-A flop

A turn gives Montague outs


Q river sends the chip lead to Linton, and Montague has done the lot

Linton could win this easily, relentless player, dry humour (or sarcasm)which ever you prefer, but definitely a favourite esp when people are dumping 225k off with 2 4 os to him!!

Good Luck all!

Rich did you get that £20 of yalden?

Tighty, if possible when the tournament starts, can we have a picture of Nick Yalden from the KC club in Swindon. Its Nicks debut at DTD as he is normally found cleaning out the DC / NL games at KCs, either that or hes dishing out money to put people back in the game so he can take it again. Good player, hard to read, the south wests answer to Ali Mallu.

Nice guy, very very generous, therefore, in the break call him over and show him this post, and tell him Quinny says he should donate £20 to Blonde updates. By the time the £20 has been handed over, he would have earned that back in interest from coutts & co. Nick has only recently dropped off the top 100 rich list.

Good luck all who are playing!

I have just had a text back, he thought he might offend you by giving the £20......righto!! He will be over to give you it shortly!! told you he was a good man!

Just text him!!

All the best of luck to Nick Yalden and Andy McLeod. Both Swindon legends! Well both from Swindon anyway .

Leg-Ends

I reckon Rob Yong could get this country out of reccession and back on its feet.

Increase your prices by almost double and get more bloody customers. The turn out here is unbelievable and Simon reckons this comp is gonna crack £200k.

Well played Dtd and all the staff

well said!

Peter Wigglesworth, before being told that Glenn "nirvana" Henderson might attend tomorrow, hence the serious face

if he busts out, do we get a screen print of the lobby posted on FB?

Some great poker talent on the rail, and Dwayne Quinn
