blonde poker forum

Last minute.com here but i have got a massive urge to play a good live tournament and this is the only one this weekend worth playing. It is the GUKPT Walsall 1070 pounds main event. I want to sell 30 per cent at 1.15. Would normally do this on spot value, but the costs of hotel and train tickets mean the extra here will help, plus i think i would be good value anyway.

5 per cent = 61.5 pounds
10 per cent = 123 pounds

I play tournaments exclusively online professionally with a healthy ROI. Names on sites include 'anup returns' on pokerstars

                                                                                                                                 2dominant4u' Pacific

I have recently cashed in the DTD 500 where i thought i played well but was undone with a set up.

Greekstein and f3nix35 could give me a nice character reference as i have dealt with both for transferring decent sums online before.

I will be turning up about 45 mins late as i am catching the 12.05 train from London Euston which turns up at walsall for 14.00 bang on, which is the starting time but with the stack and blind levels as they are this shouldn't have much of an effect. Worst case scenario i turn up at 15.15 if everything goes wrong, but should only be 45 mins, if investing you need to take this into account.

5 per cent would be the smallest someone can take and as i am cutting it fine i won't be able to check to see if the money has got through before i start playing. So there will be an element of trust here. The people who first respond wanting action will be booked up to 30 per cent. Then i will sort out how those people will pay when i have time later on today. Transfer on pokerstars and bank transfer will be the way most likely.

Hope this is fine, attachment of my sharkscopes below. If no-one takes any action this will be a pretty hefty punt on my part, but exciting nevertheless.

5%, I'll give you the cash there. Just ask Tikay or Celtic to point me out.

Gl

Right, not done any staking for ages. Your mission is to get me out my Cheltenham hole.

So currently you only need to cash for £5900. I will let you know later if this goes up or down after this afternoons gambling.

Not too much to ask I hope ;)

Nice use of the word 'only' there, ha.

Gl in the Cheltenham betting, have a feelung a 17/1 shot will come in at some point today. If that helps.

Lol very specific, I dont think you get many 17/1's about so I will keep my eye out.

Good luck!

Tyty.

Down to 18k from 20k starting stack. Same table as Sunny Chatta. Been here an hour.

Hi Ant make yourself known so I can pay you.

It might help if I tell you where I'm sitting lol

Table 14 Seat 4

Not many people agree with you about it being worth playing. Any idea why the numbers are so low. I know Dtd are expecting 500 plus but they are not exactly targeting  the £1k market with a £150 comp

I've sent you a PM with my number.

have pm'd you Ant's incase he doesnt see this.

I have been very active. Was on 28k on 15k now after calling with A10 on a Axx77 board to a big bet on the river. we had plenty of previous and I should have did the fold but I am learning as I go along how to better adapt my play. Not going crazy just 3betting in position and trying to get in as many pots as possible in a good position when the blinds are still small so i can have a stack when the blinds are a lot bigger.

Must sound like i am spazzing but i am not. Trying to build early and dominate instead of holding on in there. Cue the triple up and the run to the final table imo

Triple up! 50k. Low battery, no more updating till back at hotel.

What table you on?

Don't tell him, he'll eat your chips.

Saw your hendonmob recently vinny, will say hello if I see you tomoz.

49,700 going into 500/1000 100(?) ante.

Gl Ant, might pop over for the £500 so hopefully see you there.

Nice one, ty, glgl if you play.

GL today Ant!!

On my way, I couldn't resist. lol

70k at 800/1600 200 ante. Not feeling it atm as I was on 86k.

Good to meet you, Ant. Nice jumper, too.

You too. 40k now. Made a bad call with an ace on AK5510, he hadthe five, i was calling to split so i sgud have faded it but knew he knew i knew that so the mind screwing commenced. Gut said fold, mind said call, nearly folded but after tanking 3 mins sigh put it in.

20 odd bigs.

11 big blinds, 6 from the money.

glllllllllll

134k going into 2/4000 500/1000 ante. Triple up plus some. 2 left to the bubble.

Well played Ant, thanks for the return.
Just bubbled the final table in the 500. Absolutely card dead for 4 levels.

Oi!

Great moments in poker

Don't know if anyone saw it on the stream, but our man had one of those wonderful moments that only poker can bring.

All-in for not much, he has....

9-9

and faces calls in TWO spots (because he has a relative bowl), with.....

10-J

&

K-Q

So, just the 4 overs to swerve.

He survives the flop, but NOW one of the villains also has 4 to the flush.

The turn was a.......

And the river was another....



(http://i42.tinypic.com/qrahcj.jpg)

'Arulmaran Sivaguru makes it 7,000 to play from first position, action is then passed round to Alan McLean who moves all in for 23,000, Anthony Gaughan who is directly to Alans left and only playing around 10 big blinds also moves all in for 35k. The blinds get out of the way and Arulmaran makes the call hoping to knock out two players.

Alan shows J-10, Athony tables 9-9 and Arulmaran turns over Kh-Qh.

The flop comes 2c--4h--6h, giving Arulmaran a flush draw, any heart, King or Queen and he would knock out two players.

The turn card is 5d. The river 8c.

Anthony fist pumps and lets out a "Get IN" as he nearly trebles up to aroud 85,000. Which he then apologises for to Alan McLean who is elimnated in 18th place.'


Felt terrible for reacting like that, never ever do, always have grace, but not had a fade like that before on a bubble live.


This was my exit hand....


'Action is folded round to Anthony Gaughan on the button who moves all in for 120,000 (20bbs). Chris Gavriel in the big blind, says "I don't believe you" and makes the call.

Anthony turns over 6-6 and just needs to dodge a King as Chris turns over the mighty K-3.

The flop comes 3--9--2. Giving Chris a pair, but he still needs to hit if we are to make the final.

The turn card is a KING!!!

Anthony now has two outs to stay alive. The river card is a 5.

Chris Gavriel takes the pot.

Very cruel way to exit as Anthony Gaughan finishes 10th for £2,650.'


Aside from the final table bubble, what made this worse was that we were hand for hand and this went all in quickly and we weren't allowed to turn over our cards for another 5 mins until the next table finished their hand. We knew everything was done and dusted so we shared our hands without showing and i said 66 he said k3 and he initially thought i only had 70k in chips, and would have half justified his call there. Just a really bad feeling after he said he didn't think I had that much, o well.

Felt the standard was good in spots with good players like Simon Deadman cleaning up. The rest of the play from other players was different and a culture shock. Got slightly more used to it at DTD in the 500 recently. You cannot play as you do online necessarily, and it is always best to play tight for a round or two when on a new table to suss out what styles all the players have and then proceed accordingly.

That is two cashes in my last two live tourns and have noticed my play getting better and i am opening up a lot more calling and playing in position where i can to outplay people post flop, before i would be pretty nitty and would never think of 3 betting 9q suited in position to a loose utg plus one raiser with 50 bbs, just to try and outplay him on the flop and after, but where i see value i will be going for it. O and i made a few mistakes over the weekend but ones i am learning from and if i keep on exploring different avenues of play, making mistakes in the process eventually i should be knowledgeable on what best to do in ANY given spot.

Looking forward to the next one and cheers for the backing in this one and it was nice to meet Tikay, Bobalike and Vinny while there.

PS. Bobalike and Pleno have been paid, waiting for StuartHopkin to tell me how best he wants to receive monies, bank xfer or pokerstars are ideal for me.
