Hi All

I am going to play 2 events at the WSOP-E , the £1000 + £60 No Limit 18th - 20th and the £5000 + £250 PLO 23rd - 25th.


I am offering up to 30% in the £1000 NL in 5% lots @ £65 each.

I am offering up to  60% in the £5000 PLO in 1% lots @ £65 each

Please post here or PM me if anyone is interested.

Hi Simon,

How did you arrive at 1.3?

Hi

It is 1.23 for the £1000 NL and 1.24 for the £5000 PLO

You are forgetting the juice of £60 + £250 , also the exes for London will be approx £750

What do you think it should be ?

For comparison it was 1.3 for the WSOP PLO , i have only offered shares in the £1000 as i will be playing it and thought some stakers may want to have a piece in both events .

Constructive feedback always appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Simon,

My comments were definitely intended to be constructive - I hope you didn't think I was trolling. I take pieces in a lot of people on here and just curious to know how you worked out the figure as I said a while back I wouldn't be paying premiums anymore.

Living in London I didn't realise quite how sick expensive it is to play here. When I come up to Dee Teee Deee its much less! Your offer seems very fair.

I'll have a think about what I want - most probably in the PLO and get back to you.

Good luck in the meantime.

Simon

I'll go for 10% in the £1000 for £130

Your rules lasted long then?

You'll have to remind me what they were!

3% in the PLO please Simon


catch me at DTD

2% of the PLO pls. I might take more if still available when I come up to DTD for the August £300.

8% in the PLO please Simon.

Good Luck in this Simon, & well done on selling so much so quickly.

I'll be in DTD the weekend after next, with In-Poker for the £300 Deepie, so I'll pay you then. I might even play the Saturday night Comp, make a nice change.

Mr Tikay

As you will be there on the Saturday evening may i please bring your attention to

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43026.0

Lol, you jest!

The thread has amused me & bemused me greatly, but several of my friends are hopelessly addiicted to Slots - & I mean BADLY - so it'd be just wrong to join in the fun, while they are sat at home skint, wondering where to find some money from.

I assume there will be a Slot Versiion of a Tourney Report? I would never Stake unless there was. ;)

Hope you win the lot, by the way, I really do.

Tourney report?
There will be a photo montage, video of bonus rounds and en epic tail of excitment!

I respect your decision, you have highlighted the dark side of the slots. Ive seen it to and it really is a sad thing to witness.

This is partly why there can be no reinvestment of any winnings, how would we know when to stop.

See you in a couple of weeks!

Myself and Mr Hopkin only play Larry when we are in each other's company. With him in Nottingham and me in London it's a good outlet for a bit of degeneracy once in a while.

Maybe you could join me in the Larry the Lobster dance around Rob Yong's office upon reaching the bonus rounds?

Tournament report and video footage will be provided.

2% in the PLO please. Bank transfer ok?

Knocked out level 6 !

Table included James Sudworth who was liberally raising in the first two levels and outplayed me one hand.

In the first level won one pot with nut flush on paired board , reached peak of 3600 . Called 75 in SB with 5 way action with KTs , flop was  Kd 6d 4h , bet 150 and James who was preflop raiser made it 425 , called assuming he may have the AK intending to represent flush or check raise if T came but checked  the  9h turn and he bet 525 , folded and he flipped over  Tc   2h , marvellous .

After 3 hours 40 minutes had stole two pots and folded my AQs to a 4 bet , left it to AK and TT , naturally a Q flopped lol. Then got first pair   Ac Ahrt , raised 450 into James BB who was getting a massage and for first time all night folded ! He then took a few hits and dropped to similar chips as me going all in when i had my second pair of the night  5c 5d in SB , i folded .

Eventually in level 6 i went all in for 1225 with  Aspades 9s and James called all in 725 with 33 and i won the race.

One round later UTG raised to  450 and i found  Aspades Ac and  rr 1450 all in , he called the extra 1000 with K Jo , pot was 3425 , flop Q J 8 J 9 and that was it !

Thanks to my backers in this event but 112 out of 314 was not what i was aiming for , will try to do a lot better in the PLO  , i bought in today and will be on table 13 seat 6.

Cheers

Thanks Simon.

Sounds like "one of those days".

Good Luck in the Omaha.

Good luck Siiiiiiiiiiiiiimon Taaaaaaaaaarumpaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH !

That feels better , i was reminded today why i no longer miss the circuit , months of constantly believing in yourself only to either play bad or miss every draw or get outdrawn.

I started with what looked like a great table , i only knew Tony G seat 9 and Annette in seat 2 , i was in 6. One player in 8 had already lost 8850 of his first 10,000 so when i limped with AKT9 and he raised to 450 and both blinds called i decided to play aggressively and get it heads up reraising to 1800 , he called his 1150 total but so did the blinds .

Flop was A Q 4 , sb checked as i thought did the bb but when i announced pot Tony G asked the dealer whose action it was and in fact the bb was still thinking , he eventually bet a very weak 1200 into 6550 , i called with top pair and the gutshot and the sb called too , pot was already over 10,000 and we were only in the first level !

Turn was an 8 giving me the nut flush draw , both blinds checked and short of an all in i didn't think a bet would shift them so took the free card , at this point Tony G declared 77 would win this hand , river was a K and now the sb bet out 2500 , both of us folded and he had stolen the side pot with 77 while my two pair would have scooped it all , marvellous ! Tony of course took the credit saying his comment had induced the bluff !

My next pot was KQ9Tds with 3 way action after Tony had raised , flop was A Q J giving me the nuts , sb bet , i flat called and Tony raised pot , sb reraised all in  , i called sure he was drawing , Tony folded and the sb hand was top set with a flush draw actually making him favourite , turn was a 5 but river a J for his full house and i needed my double chance , not an ideal start , would you guys have folded in this situation ?  i have done before in cash games.

The other player who had been all in on the first hand i played now took his extra 10,000 after calling a preflop Tony G raise and when the flop was all diamonds and Tony be out 3500 , he called with just AA no draw !!!! Tony had the J flush If i could only get chips.

Eventually we clashed , i called a raise again from Tony in the BB knowing our hero would also call having limped, i had JJ87ds , flop was 8 8 T , i checked to the standard continuation bet expected from Tony but it didn't come , turn was a 5 , i now bet pot 1800 and our hero called , river was a 9 giving me a straight but also a flush and that was exactly what he had called for on the turn with his J9 of clubs !

I finally found a real hand KKQTds , after Tony raised and a Norwegian made it 1500 i called utg and Tony folded , flop was 9 high all diamonds , no good for my hearts and clubs and i had to fold to his 1/2 pot bet.

The last hand of level 2 i was in the BB , utg limped for 200 , my hero was all in for 600 , 3 called the 600 as did the utg out of turn , i had KQ82ss and could fold leaving 3800 for the 150 300 level or call 400 into 3200 and hope to hit a flop , again , what would you have done ?

Flop was Q 9 6 all hearts giving me a K flush , i pushed and got one caller who i hoped was going to turn over a set but no he had the nuts and i needed a miracle , i got half of it when a 2 came on the turn giving me two pair but no Q or 2 on the river and i was out.

I was feeling sick and a little shellshocked , couldn't believe i was out so quick , just 2 hours , maybe if i had laid down the nuts On the second hand i would still be there , maybe i should have fired when i flopped the trip 8's with a gutshot allthough with a J high flush draw and a straight draw there was no way my hero would have passed , maybe i was meant to go broke on the KKQTds by reraising all in preflop and maybe i should have folded the last hand even getting 8 - 1.

Sorry if my backers feel they didn't get a run for their money , it was just a bad day today and nothing seemed to go right , once again thanks to you all for the opportunity.

Unlucky Simon just one of those days where whatever you do it will alll go wrong.

Ive had a simillar run all year so I know how you are feeling.

It does not matter how good you are if the cards dont fall your way..........

One of those days Simon, but thanks for a decent TR.

I'm still ahead of the game (nicely in profit) in my Staking with you, so if you fance playing any more Events, I'll take my usual little % please.

Simon

The limp re-raise hand seemed like a great spot to rep AA on the AQ4 board with outs + back doors if it went wrong. With 7200 in the pot + the weak lead did you not think it was worth a stab?

You can't put anyone else on AA because you would've got re-popped pre. Did you just not fancy it at the time?

Ya think shove>fold>call here.

Yes , in hindsight i totally agree , i wasn't sure if the player had heard me say " pot " and if he had and was still betting into me i was concerned that if i made the reraise he may still call with a wrap , it was the first hand i played with no information on the styles of the players. Calling was probably the worst option.

Doesn't the wrap only give him 4 outs? You hold one of his kings and tens and the jacks obv split it. If we assume he needs to hold KJ10 to call the shove he has 2 of his own outs leaving him with 4 to win and 3 to chop. Surely you're miles ahead and want the call?

We have a huge edge though we can just wait for a better situation.

You're absolutley right , i probably also considered he was betting second set to find out if i had AA , regardless i should have raised or folded , also when the other player bet the river i auto mucked assuming he had the straight but not stopping to consider that he can make this bet to steal the side pot as with an all in and both of us checking the turn it looks like a value bet , usually i would be a lot sharper than this and i can only assume that i was a little " off " my game from the beginning due to the fact i play so little nowadays.

In the hand where i flopped the nuts with no redraws i did consider folding but wanted to get those chips back lost in the first hand and my gut instinct was he was drawing not splitting so i went with it but he got there.

I intend to start playing more events in the club , partly to socialise as host but also to try out the new schedule and keep my hand in , i will play a few events without backing and once i am happy i am playing my A game and getting results i will offer shares again.

As Tikay points out most of my backers are still well in front but i dont ever want to play backed if i am not on top form.
