Hi Blondes,

I sold action previously here - http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=67496.0 There is some history there of my poker exploits.

Got an Air Bnb with friends for the Goliath. Planned schedule is:-

Thursday 12pm - Goliath Day 1 £120
Thursday7pm - Jokers Wild £38
Friday 12pm - Goliath Day 1 £120
Saturday 12pm - Goliath Day 2
Saturday 4pm - APAT Main Event £83

So total is £361.

I would usually not sell for something like this but have just invested 4 figures into a new puppy who arrives in 2 weeks!

I have always been told the Goliath series is excellent value but have never played it. Looking forward to getting stuck in. Will provide updates here. Refunds for any clashes that means I don't play or if I don't need the second day 1. Any added value will be included in the package - I think there are some bounties and bits and bobs going on across the weekend.

Selling 30% total.

10% - £36.10
30% - £108.30

Will play regardless if I don't sell all.

Thanks

Mark

I think I was on the same table as Eso Kral all day. I think. He had a big grey beard, looked a bit like a handsome man of the wild. Plays good too.

Like this fella?

Eso looking like he's getting ready to start work on Emmerdale :D

Best of luck after the dinner break!

That's the man! He had over a million before our table broke. Just getting started again

Yeah, he's pretty handy. Very "creative", too.

GL!

Busto to the one outer. 49th.

Cashed for £1,245. Painful now but a good run.

Unlucky bud, was rooting for ya!

Unlucky Mark. Great effort.

A quick summary, day 1 was just absolutely perfect to go from 25K starting stack to 350K at close of play. Ran great in all the right spots, had good tables all day and felt very comfortable. Couple of big hands of note – making quad aces against aggro young guy and check calling 3 streets for a full double. Later on, someone 5 bet jamming pocket fours into my aces. What a life.

Day 2, went on a nice heater up to 750K reasonably early. First table was tougher, Eso Kral with chips and others. Played good though, picked off some bluffs and just kept chipping up. Then just seemed to get stuck at a point where I played a 10-25bb stack for >6 hours. Just rejamming and trying to find spots. Eventually rejammed KQ against 5’s for 4.2 million the last level of the day. He found the case 5 on the river to finish in 49th.

Obviously absolutely gutted at the time as when you make the final 50 of a >6K runner comp, feels brutal not to convert to something huge. Also, just felt like I had an edge over some of the guys that will make mistakes playing a sub 30bb stack size. i.e. not defending big blind enough, not jamming enough, not calling off correctly etc etc. All in all, I was buzzed to make a deep run and really pleased with how I played across both days. Will almost certainly be back next year, the tournament was so well run and atmosphere was great all weekend.

Thank you to those that wished me well.

This was obviously intended to be a package but we only managed one tournament so details are:-

Total Returns of non-played tournaments - £241
Total Cashes - £1,245

Total - £1,486

10% - £148.60
5% -  £74.30

Can I have bank details pleased and I will send out £££s ASAP.

I wasn't involved but what a well run staking event this was.

VWP and UL.
