Tikay's still in?

Going for Andrew, 200 large ones,

large pennies that is :D

I'm glad I got my wager on when I was 40/1 !

I may still be a good each way if I can get past Rookie? He seems to be a tough competitor, he wants to play for huge stakes as well, just off to rob a bank! /:-|

Heres a tip for you stone .... play for a stake that is peanuts in comparison to your bankroll .... Dont let the boy Rookie con you into feeling the pressure of the stake of the game ;)

If you play for $1 you can concentrate purely on the game without the added pressure that you are playing for too high a side amount.

getting wise in your old age well travelled form!

lets face it


tikay may be the man u of blonde poker

but i am the celtic,he is running scared.....

He is Lord Lucan, not Man U!

Bit harsh isn't it?  Not a nice thing to say about anyone!

AndrewT  2 - 0  TrendyQuest

Silo's two quid rides on into the semi-finals.

The first game Trendy (Zebediah) was pretty card dead but managed to hold on whilst shortstacked for quite a while before I got him. His carddeadness momentarily left him at the start of the second game when he flopped quad eights and I paid him off a bit.

The game turning hand was when I filthily slowplayed pocket aces and, unluckily for Trendy, he flopped top pair which put me well up. He then held on for a bit before I won a pre-flop race.

A good game and a worthy opponent.

thanks

TrendyQuest gets $17 for his QF appearance


AndrewT moves to 7/2 favourite, virtually

AndrewT beat me 2-0, well played.

Knew you were weak with that last allin preflop, but you still had the edge in the coinflip lol (As the 2 previous).

Quite enjoyed this, used to play heads up alot last year, including winning the $20 128 player stars heads up tourney (on third attempt yet never entered again).
But just seemed to stop playing it. Might play a few and see if I can get up to speed again, but with my current home life it is hard to get the peace for the concentration required.

The only hand I was pleased with was when you made a FH with that 6, as soon as the second 6 came on the turn I was sure you had it and laid down the pair of aces, otherwise, not really good enough.
Is it possible to get both hand histories, would be interesting to look through them. Critique just how far I have fallen away.

Hang about, no intimidation tactics used here!! I was asked what stakes and replied lol. Nobody put any restrictions on it, but whatever you want to play at is fine Stone.

I just won 2-1... not without a battle though.. first game my AK lost to JJ all in pre. Then in the second i was bullied down to 1000 before having to make a comeback. Great game though, cheers stone.

thanks

Well played Rookie in our titanic battle, a mere 9 hand game which I won (game 1), then a hum dinger 107 hand 2nd game to Rookie. Grand final of 50 + hands.

There was some interesting poker I think its fair to say we we both playing it very cagey looking to trap each other! The hand below is a typical one (from Game 2)  and with me 1 - 0 up by the turn I was getting excited!!

Good luck in the next round Rookie - Well done Tighty for organising this one, great fun to play in, and it seems like a cash for me  ;D

Risky play on the end seeing as you were dead to a King.

Ah, I take it back - Rookie was shortstacked.

it all over

im going back to bed


p.s.i think tikay can see my cards


is he a pro or something?


lol

i am a disgrace

thanks,

Zimbra vs tikay

KeithyB vs Big Fella


In your own time lads, good luck to you all

Sutton keith just stuffed me 2-0, fullt deserved.... I'll have my virtual tenner on him now please.

WP Keith and good luck for next round.

Glenn

Cheers Glenn, I was fortunate to finish you off with that  Aspades 9s hitting a lucky flush against your  Ad Ks though.

Two very tightly fought games and a great guy too!   :respect:

I'll try and do my best with your virual tenner.....one thing for sure is that you'll get great odds on me!!   rotflmfao


Wow....it's all gone very dark.....might it be the big shadow of the caped crusader!!  ;scarymoment;

whose everyone waiting for/ oh yes grandad! rotflmfao

I haven't heard from tikay yet, I just sent him a PM - so with any luck we can get our quarterfinal done tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry mate. tikay might be online tomorrow night, depending on his schedule in London. If not then it will have to be early next week as he's in Newcastle all weekend. rest assured I will be in his ear before he leaves for home on Sunday!



New Prices


Rookie itb 5/2
Andrew T 3/1
Keithy B 4/1
Zimbra 11/2
tikay 6/1

No problem, I don't mind waiting until next week if it's easier for all concerned.

throw the old man out  ;ifm;

yawn... this is dragging a bit now..

you are just after a bye to the final!

I'll remind tikay again, very busy man I am afraid

Lol, as long as its tikay i get and not zim then it is a bye, isnt it? :P

anyone else would've been thrown out by now  ;ifm;

thats probably true, but as he spends hour upon hour working for blonde and its development has only been online once in the past three weeks, then I will cut him the necessary slack.

What a rubbish excuse, throw both Tikay AND Zim out! Thats what i say! :D

:D

the belly crew will be delighted to hear that tikay plays Zimbra this evening, then we can progress

tikay my hero lol


come on zim stuff grandad otherwise be after xmas b4 he plays rookie  ;nana;

I am playing Zimbra this evening, as soon as he rings me, (I am stuck in a Hotel room in London), & I'm sorry I've delayed things.

Oh, & I'll have £50 on myself at those odds, please.

Played 2 Heads-Up matches in this so far, won 'em both 2-0. 1,000/1? Pile in lads!

the odds are both virtual and out of date


keep up grandad!

Typical bookie.

So what am I now, 5/4 favourite?

New Prices


Rookie itb 5/2
Andrew T 3/1
Keithy B 4/1
Zimbra 11/2
tikay 6/1


because you have 1 more game to win than the top 3 in the betting

What? WHAT? You'd get knocked over in the rush to get on if you were a real bookie. 6/1 indeed. Did you mean 1/6?

Rush hour has been extremly quiet for a week since those odds were published.............

Grandad is playing Zim now, its 1-1 and into the decider ... 0.50c heads up if you wanna witness grandads exit :)

come on Zimbra


comp won't end til 2008 unless you win

6/1 those odds do seem rather large.....

ill take 500 on rookieITB please

Next!

That 6/1 for The Boy don't look so good now, eh?

supreme bokkage.

I had 4-5 vs J-5 on a 4-5-Q-J board... tikay moves in - and I can't pass. I have a slight chip lead, and want to pass desperately. But I can't.

After that, I had 400 chips at 30/60 and it was really only a matter of time...

Oh well, at least I took a set off of him.

AS they say the cream always rises to the top



can i get my buck back now


lol
