Title: Timing is everything
Post by: Doobs on November 25, 2015, 12:38:28 AM
I am going to have a go at the GUKPT Grand Final this week.

I have previous at the Vic, finishing 2nd here. http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=78995

Since then I have cracked on and barely played live, I think I have had 2 trips to Vegas where I have drawn a blank in tournaments and maybe played 2 UK tournaments. 

I also did cop a 1000 euro event on Winamax later that year where I sold shares on here.

Frankly this year has been pretty crap online, live and through staking. I did about 15k up til Vegas, but have made about 3k in the last 3 months.  It was probably a combination of not playing my A game, playing too many tables and running a bit bad.  Guess I was due a bad year for variance.   

Anyway though I am a bit of a dinosaur; and probably play more O8 than hold em; I still think I am a bit ahead of an average GUKPT field; am well up on selling stakes here; am feeling I am playing well again and so am going to play.

Maybe they'll be an overlay, maybe not.

I will be playing Friday, won't be rebuying no matter what happens, and am selling 25% at 1.00. 

5% is  £106.35, 10 is £212.50

Just confirming I have everyone's money.

Guess you don't need any stake Fraser, as you have a much bigger stake in Camel than I could spare.

Good luck all

Got here on time.  Not many uncontested pots.  Got a Will Kassouf joining on my left at some stage.  Any tips, other than the obvious ear plugs?  On about starting


Title: Re: Timing is everything

Nothing much happening.  Send more cards, these fools only playing with 2.

He's better than it first appears but not as good as he thinks he is :-) Pretty decent & fun guy until it becomes boring, Be pleasant, tell him he's a viral star and don't bother talking in hands with him

Got about 26 from 25 starting after 4 hours.  Don't think I have been less than 23 or more than 26.  No massively tricky spots, one bad call.  Doing fine.  Will has been there two hours and already thinking of abandoning my chips and doing a runner to Stamford Bridge.  I think stakes will understand. He has quite a few more than me now, not many are mine.

Down to 16, aces busted, struggled to play it better.  Just folded an ace on an ace high flop too.  Sure it was right.  Good job structure is so slow.  

Edit.  He flopped a set, hit quads river.   Playing well.

Then just got lucky, QJ vs KQ on KQJx.  SB vs BB.  Will in BB.  Fourth heart on river. 

Not tilted at all, not really messed anything up.

And back to 25.  Set>overpair.  Really enjoying it. 

Think Pleno said something in the summer about winning the hand by making the correct fold.   Have been winning lots of hands that way.

Dullest updates ever.  Swung wildly down to 22500.  Almost went nuts last level, decided not to.

Dull is fine by me, David, keep it going.

Been offline all day, so on catch up now.

Welcome to poker, sonny Jim. 

Offer to take the photo for him so he can be in it. That usually helps.

Oh yes, even better.

Look, this is so sick, so so sick.

Poker is such a great game, but it don't half mess with some folk's heads.

24.9k at 1st break, so in 11 hours we have lost 100 chips.  Survived AK vs KK without doing all my chips then TT>AK.  Managed to find a fold with 77 vs AA.  No other hands of note. 

Obviously not finding many more folds, guess it is 800/1600 when we get back and we are utg+1.
