Title: I can't remember.. Post by: RED-DOG on August 10, 2015, 10:47:44 AM ...the last time I started a thread in the rail, but I do remember the last time I had a game of live poker. It was the Goliath at the Ricoh in Coventry a year ago this week.
I'm considering coming out of retirement and playing it again today. It probably wont be very busy, but a noon start on a Monday is right up my street. Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: RED-DOG on August 10, 2015, 11:08:50 AM BTW- Has anything changed since I've been away? Do people still triple-range merge with 3 7 of broccoli?
Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: smurf on August 10, 2015, 11:17:04 AM Go for it - after seeing it's going to thunder today I have decided to give the Goliath a whirl, the real test is trying to work out how the girls scantily dressed in the White dresses keep their 'assets' in with such a low gap down the front...very off putting.
I would think they will still get 150-200 today. Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: ripple11 on August 10, 2015, 11:35:33 AM Played it Saturday for the first time.....didn't quiet make the last level but good fun, and if it wasn't for work ,would play it again this week.
Plenty of play with 25,000 chips, 40 min levels and 2 re entries allowed. Certainly not one to object to scantily dressed girls....but seemed to be about half a dozen, standing around in the corridors doing nothing. Couldn't quite see the point.

Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: CooperAyIt on August 10, 2015, 12:17:59 PM Are you there today smurf? I'm there so if so give me a shout and I'll say hello
Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: redsimon on August 10, 2015, 12:18:57 PM good luck Tom, someone going to post pics of these ladies ?:)
Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: RED-DOG on August 10, 2015, 12:21:40 PM good luck Tom, someone going to post pics of these ladies ?:) Sorry Simon. I will probably be too focused to notice scantily clad ladies. What about some pics of the buffet? Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: The_nun on August 10, 2015, 12:30:22 PM Hope you enjoy playing out after a long break. I can not recall the last time I played live but must be around 3 years plus.
Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: smurf on August 10, 2015, 12:45:27 PM the scantily dressed ladies are covered up today...yes I am playing today will say hello in the break
Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: RED-DOG on August 10, 2015, 02:53:02 PM 2450 at the first break.
Not getting much action. I think they find my weak passive submissive style intimidating. Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: redsimon on August 10, 2015, 03:13:28 PM 2450 at the first break.

Post by: baldock92 on August 10, 2015, 03:28:17 PM I think I played with you last year RED, did you play on day 1a by any chance? I bust almost last hand of the day. Will be there this friday to try and bink it.

Post by: The_nun on August 10, 2015, 03:40:35 PM Does it feel good to be playing again?

Can't remember which days but I can look it up when I get home. do you keep a diary of all the tournaments you play, or are you going to ask Mrs Red? Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: arbboy on August 10, 2015, 03:45:11 PM Good luck Tom. I hate these comps on principle becaus they double the rake for no reason at all because they attract such a non price sensitive client base by offering a huge upstairs win figure. I think it is disgraceful. I would love an official reason why they charge 20% juice on these types of events (dtd are excluded because they do fortunes on Sats online on top of golden chip bonuses for their Grand Prix which gros don't do either). They are making North of £100k in rake this week on a £100 buy in event of their predictions are correct for attendance if you add in the cash game rake and bar sales.

No worries I would throw up to ten bullelts at this if they didn't take the piss and double the rake and add nothing to the coup re golden chips like dtd do. Show me any other grov based £100 comp in any of their UK card rooms which isn't £100+10 over the past year. If anything they should run this comp cheaper rake wise because of the huge Economies of scale they have given they own the building outright and it sits there doing nothing all week. Instead they choose to really take the piss out of the grass roots of poker and give nothing back. Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: RED-DOG on August 10, 2015, 04:03:03 PM I was a bag of nerves for the first half hour.

It's costing me £10 more than it should, but it's great fun, which makes it > buying dinner for Celtic. Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: arbboy on August 10, 2015, 04:11:28 PM Good luck Tom.

Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: Knottikay on August 10, 2015, 05:07:11 PM GL Today Sir. Have you got this bug back for playing live after reading all Tikay's Vegas exploits?.....or do you actually want to do well and have been reading other diaries? PS. My cover photo on facebook actually includes your good self in it (and Tikay giving you coaching). If you make day 2, i will post it up. (that will give me enough time to figure how to actually post it up here). Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: Kev B on August 10, 2015, 05:12:39 PM GL Tom.

You doubled up yet? Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: Graham C on August 10, 2015, 05:13:30 PM Good luck Red :)

Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: RED-DOG on August 10, 2015, 05:38:53 PM GL Tom. Thought I was playing less, but a year yikes. You doubled up yet? Nope. As usual I seem to have the smallest stack on the table. Not just the smallest stack amount wise, but also the smallest number of chips regardless of denomination wise. I'm a true grinder in the sense that the more I grind it the smaller it gets. Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: arbboy on August 10, 2015, 05:45:17 PM GL Tom.

"Me too" I replied. "what's wrong with yours?" Title: Re: I can't remember.. Post by: redsimon on August 10, 2015, 07:45:15 PM You've inspired me to go and play at Dtd :)

Post by: RED-DOG on August 10, 2015, 09:50:44 PM Dealers Choice Tuesday more appealing so delayed gratification. Are you still in or been ante'd off? Busto! Got moved to a new table. Had 17k with blinds 600/1200. 3 limpers on my BB. I push with 8c 9c, all fold. Next hand I find 77 in the sb. Seat 7 makes it 2500, they fold to me. I push again, he calls me with QJ and flops two more queens. Might play it again sometime later in the week if time permits. Title: Re: I can't remember..

I move all in from the bb for 70k with 99 after utg raises and sb flats, they both call the 70k 672 flop, utg moves all in, sb folds and shows TT and my nines hold up against utg's 88 Think I owe that guy a drink for getting those tens to fold :D |
