Hi,

My name is Michelle Bennett and I am looking to sell up to 50% of my action in this weekend's £500 deepstack at 1.2 (5%=£30, 10%=£60). I only intend to have 1 entry (no re-entry).

For those of you who don't know me I am primarily an MTT player and have had some success in the last couple of years including winning the DTD deepstack in May 2010 and a $340 Venetian deepstack in June 2011. (I'm due another nice score!!). Please see Hendon Mob for my full profile. I'm on my phone at the mo and haven't worked out how to copy and paste the url onto here, so apologies for that.

Thanks for looking and any questions, just ask.

20 Michelle Please

Im playing on Friday

Thanks Fraser. I think I'm playing on Saturday but not 100% yet. Will PM you my bank details. Thanks again.

No Need ..Ill leave your £120 with Tighty on Friday

Good Luck Us

ok thanks! Good luck on Friday.

Michelle i will have 5% regards Mike see u friday, is Ian coming?

Hi Mike thanks. I think I'm playing on Saturday whilst Ian fits some wood flooring at home, so no Ian won't be coming!! I'll PM you my bank details as I probably won't see you on Friday.

Thanks Michelle

will leave the dosh with tighty if thats ok?

Can't do that. Only there friday

Epic grim potential denied.

Ok will PM Mike and Fraser my bank details instead then!

40% now sold. 10% left

?

Fraser could have given his £120 to Tighty on Friday and then when you turn up on Saturday - no Tighty!

oh I see! Lol yeah I suppose! I'm sure Mr Prew would have said on friday!

But this is exactly what true grimmers do - build up years of goodwill through ceaseless self-sacrifice then BOOM, 120 notes are gone.

yeah I suppose it is!

Andrew! Stop making Michelle laugh.

45% now sold, 5% remaining

Rest.

Cheers Girgy! Will pm you on facebook.

Are u going Vegas this year Michelle ?

I am Tony, are you?  We're there from 24th June for 2 weeks, staying at the Wynn.  Will mainly be playing Venetian, Wynn, Aria, Caesars and maybe some of the daily tournaments at the Rio.  Looking forward to it, should be good!  I'm hoping to put a schedule together in the next few days and then may look at selling some of my action for the whole trip (evens out the variance!).

I have details will just bank xfer you.

Or you could just ship £60k at DTD and buy yourself in to all the tournaments ;)

Only just read that tighty isnt there Friday Michelle so I can do insta bank transfer tonight or ship on Stars now

Hi Fraser, bank transfer is fine.  I PM'd you my bank details last night, did you get it?  I can't tell if my PM's are actually sending, most annoying!

Got pms yes thanks but didnt read till now..

In future.when you send the pms there is a box you can tick at the bottom of the page and it will save  a copy to your outbox...otherwise you cant check a pm has gone...hope this helps...will bank x fer tonight

Good luck us

Thanks, I hadn't seen that!  Yes good luck us!  Thanks for your support.

Received with thanks!

Shipped.

Just wanted to say thanks to those who backed me in the dtd 500 yesterday.  Had a good start, flopping top set in the first 10 mins and getting paid off on the river when I made a full house, so was up to 36k.  Following that had to play totally card dead for the next 9.5 hours.  Had zero premium hands in all that time, never made a better hand than top pair after the set early doors, so was really grinding it out for most of the tourney.  I was hoping that if I was patient I would be rewarded and start picking up some big hands/draws, but saw absolutely nothing.  Really hard work when the cards fall like that, as you all know!  Only hands I found were JJ (which I ran into KK) - the KQx flop made it an easy fold post flop, then 77 which lost to the K9 of the BB.  In level 5 I made a pretty loose call pre with KJo on the button to a tight raiser.  Flop came J high.  He bet out and I shoved (he only had 12k behind) and he got it all in with an open ended straight draw and missed, so was back up to 36k at that point.  My original table got broken and I was moved to table Chinese Frankie.  Lost a decent pot with AQ on a KJXA7 board to A7 of the table chip leader, then proceeded to pick up small-mid pocket pairs about 6/7 times, failing to hit a set.  Ended up shoving with 66 and 44 over pre-flop bets to keep my head above water (just).  Table got broken again and was moved to table Jamie Sykes/Alex Goulder, which I think was in level 9 (blinds at 500/1000) nursing my 17k stack.  Picked up AK utg and shoved hoping to find someone behind me (on a table of pretty big stacks) with something to call me with, but it folded round.  Then picked up 44 on the cut-off, folded to me and I shoved my 14k stack (blinds were 600/1200 with 200 ante).  The guy on my left re-raised with AQ to isolate and I was pretty happy to see that we were racing tbh.  Flop came down KJx. Turn 10. Game over!  I would love to say it was an enjoyable experience, it sort of was, because I love playing poker and the tournament really suited my game.  Having said that it was a pretty frustrating day and someone with less patience/concentration than myself would probably have gone out several levels earlier than I did!  

Thanks again for the backing/support.  I'm hoping to finalise my Vegas schedule in the next few days and will probably look to sell some action.  I'm going for 2 weeks on 24th June, hoping to play Venetain, Caesars, Binions, Golden Nugget, Wynn and some Rio daily tournaments in the $200-$400 buy in range, plus some satellites into bigger Venetian events.  I'll post a separate thread about that later in the week.

Thanks
Michelle

Arrived in Vegas Sunday afternoon. Flew with Virgin Atlantic from Manc and got a text from them at 6am informing us that the flight was delayed by 2.5 hours. Glad they let us know b4 we set off to the airport. Flight was ok but drinks service was terrible. They came round 3 times only during a 10 hr flight which is ridiculous and that was in Premium Economy!

Got to the Wynn and checked in. Got a golf course view which is nice! Room is ok but not as nice as The Palazzo imo. The room is interconnecting so we can hear everything from next door. Rang reception and they said virtually all their rooms are interconnecting! Lol really? Then this morning we are woken at 5am by a shaft of light coming in all the way down the left of the window! The curtain does not cover the window right to the end! So tilting! This stuff is not difficult. Maintenance arrived at 9am and fixed it with gaffer tape!

Anyway I'm currently in the Ladies event at Caesars. Structure is pretty terrible but so are most of the players. My table has an interesting mix players but so far I haven't found any spots. Currently just under ave stack.

Perfect. Get busy with Ian at the same time as next door and it will be like a trial orgy. If you like it try Le Chambre in Sheffield. And Ffs don't ring reception telling em what you are upto. They may throw you out for being perverts :)

Omg pmsl x

You can always trust jason to turn your post into filth (lol) gl I'n Vegas hope you both win see you both soon

Not the perfect start, busted Caesars in level 7 running AQs into QQ blind on blind with 14 bigs.
So jetlagged I can't even remember what we did after that yesterday, other than going for food at ? (lol no can't remember) with every intention of going to the Rio afterwards to rail Neil Channing but I believe I nodded off whilst eating so we headed back to our room instead!

Playing the Venetian deepstack now with lots of noisy women all chatting at the same time and getting progressively louder. Now I remember why I don't really like playing ladies comps. $400 with 230 runners so far plus late reg and re-entries.

La Chambre, not le

Deliberate mistake to find out who the regulars are obv :)
