Title: 3 day Diary Post by: nirvana on September 01, 2012, 10:39:32 AM I don't think it's just hubris, and I know it seems short, but I am something like a 3/1 shot to final the 5 hundo at DTD this weekend.
I just wanted to put up my own fan page so any good lucks, and applause for some of my plays over the weekend, can be put here rather than on the main update thread. Wheat from the chaff and all that. Also, any good wishes for my virgin Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: 77dave on September 01, 2012, 10:41:14 AM BoB

Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: TightEnd on September 02, 2012, 09:20:48 PM Nirvana gets 482k in pre with Ad Js
called by the Ac Qc of Ian Gwynne flop - 9d 3s 2h Not over yet sports fans... turn - Jc River - Jd Nirvana up to 1 million, Gwynne down to 260k They tried to take him down, but the dream lives on..... Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: claypole on September 02, 2012, 09:21:29 PM oi oi

Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: cambridgealex on September 02, 2012, 09:42:00 PM This guy didn't approve of our hero's play....
Nirvana gets 482k in pre with Ad Js im a novice, but was wondering firstly how you get 482K in pre-flop with AJ with 12/24 blinds and secondly a caller for that amount with AQ. i am i right to pressume there was a pattern of raising and re-raising prior to flop. some of the showdowns appear to be a bit random for such a big tournament called by the Ac Qc of Ian Gwynne flop - 9d 3s 2h Not over yet sports fans... turn - Jc River - Jd Nirvana up to 1 million, Gwynne down to 260k Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: Simon Galloway on September 02, 2012, 09:44:54 PM Strawchewer has never played Luton
Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: tikay on September 02, 2012, 09:49:11 PM Pretty sure strawchewer is Chompy's duplicate account.
Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: cambridgealex on September 02, 2012, 09:52:44 PM Yeh 20bbs AJ and AQ.
WHAT ARE THESE GUYS PLAYING AT?! Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: TightEnd on September 02, 2012, 09:54:18 PM I'd fold down to 5xbb and see.
No idea what Glenn is up to. It's not a Wednesday at Luton, Glenn. Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: claypole on September 02, 2012, 10:22:59 PM Gooooooo on Glen - funking hard, nobody else matters lol
Do it for the Luton regs and you may up your ranking from 6 to 3 Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: nirvana on September 03, 2012, 08:45:34 AM This diary can now be put to rest. Made day 3, which is an incred result by any standards. It's no shame to be outlasted by mercurial talents such as Fox, Perrins and Tom Myland.
Speaking of Tom Myland - hat's off, he let himself blind down to, I think, around 25k chips around the bubble - 1 or 2 blinds - kept looking around expecting to see him shekking hands and heading off but like the proverbial S to a B, he survived and is still there. This is gonna be an endless brag from Tom I feel, FOLs. Must say thanks to you all for the good luck's and stuff - much appreciated and definitely helps from a motivational angle. As usual with poker, met and shared tables with a lot of good people. Managed to mangle a hand with Stuart Barnett (honeybadger) and asked and got some good hand analysis. One day I will think on my feet at the level some of these guys do. Nice guy to boot. Whenever I've seen Stuart Fox at a table he's tended to look very focused and a bit dour. Spent quite a lot of time at a table with him yesterday. Seems another very nice bloke and so good luck to him today. Been grinding a bowl for about 6 hours already so would be a great result for him. Exit was a bit of a shambles - 3b Ahrt Ad to 200K over an 85K open at 20-40 and was called. Flop was a pretty miserable looking Tc Jc Qs. Check check. Turn was 2c. A very decent player, imo, shoves quite a large overbet to the 500K in the middle. Pretty polarised I guess. I had around 800K so really searched myself to find a pass, really wanted to pass, nearly passed, thought 'this is a pass, show how good you are and pass', so I called. He had Kc Qc obviously. Then walked past Tom on another table being hilarious about my exit, which was great :-) OK, so diary over, great fun. DTD as ever was great and sincere good lucks to the remaining contenders. Sean to win would be good - provided a lot of laughs in his diary thread and looks like he's playing very well. Title: Re: 3 day Diary Post by: tikay on September 03, 2012, 08:50:48 AM Lovely report, plenty of respect for your oppos, proper bloke you. Was proud of your effiorts this weekend Glenn, especially considering how things were with health & that a while back.
