Title: Bluesq.com GUKPT Manchester: Day 1A
Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 22, 2009, 11:27:11 PM
Hello and welcome to Day 1A of the GUKPT nearest to my house, thus allowing me to not have to travel to Manchester until Thursday morning, yay! The GUKPT updates are back up and running thanks to sponsorship with Minted Poker, but with Jen, Rod, Snoopy and Dana all otherwise indisposed, and with Kev needing all the time in the world to shove a tube up his lubricated anus, we've called on a new updater. The CEO himself, Mr 'Tighty' Tightend Tighty, which is his actual birthname.

And it got me thinking, when was the last time I could remember a freelancer and the boss of a company working hard together for the greater glory...?

Ahhh yes, Empire. (Bonus points for real photoshops)

So join myself and Darth Tightius from 2pm tomorrrow and in the meantime, here is Darth Tighty having some simulated trouble in the Death Star Canteen.

Helloooooooooooooooooooo

Welcome to Manchester and the G Casino

The day started rather troublingly, when I parked up outside and out of the next car came Barry "Vinni" Neville. He strode purposefully towards me and nearly crushed my hand when he shook it. I escaped without buying a brand new suit.

Latest news is over 300 runners are expected over Days 1a and 1b, so we're going to be busy.

Remember any requests to follow certain players, just holler. I'm here to serve. Probably.

Play begins at 2pm

Looking forward to this. 

Excepting some top updates from Flops & Tights, and some quality norkage shots too.

;goodluck; to all blondes - do we have a list of blondes playing in this?

My trip from Leeds:

[  ] I sure didn't spend the whole time messing about on my new phone.
[  ] The elderly woman opposite reading an Ann Widdicombe novel was very impressed.
[X] At least it wasn't a Katie Price novel.

Today's Neville soundbite:

"I was fookin' gutted I went out of the £300. Oi! Don't be writing this fookin' stuff down. I went out t' a silleh Swede oo' called meh down with four-sixh..."

[X] No-one is more quotable than Bazza.

Also here is Dave "elblondie" Colclough, the winner of this event two years ago.

He says "I'm playing well this year and have made nine final tables in good events. Not quite brought home a big one yet though". If you remember he finalled at GUKPT London last time out in this season.

Good luck to him

Factoid that may interest me and no one else Number 1: In his car CD he is currently playing a PD James audio book.

Dena and Zak are the TDs.

I am looking forward to plenty of shots of Zak in action. If Flops trusts me to use the camera.

Lots of information to be gathered in a pre-GUKPT Car Park, as well as mucho passing of soiled fifties from one player to another.

In the case of this casino, spectacular panoramic views of Strangeways prison too

Early front runners for "Needing-A-Poker-Fix Junkies Of The Day" are Andreas Hoivold and the man he beat for the EPT Dortmund Title, Cristiano Blanco... Both busted San Remo early, both decided to come here and both are going to Monte Carlo...

(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/SfBqFvb7kfI/AAAAAAAAACk/QMqM2xbSPL8/IMG_8975.JPG)

Hoivold already off to a good start, the Woodstockian fellow betting 400 and 525 on the turn and river of a Td Qs Jd 3d 5c board and getting paid off by the player on the right of the above pic, who mucked when the Norwegian showed him 7d 6d.

Cristiano Blanco

(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/SfBqIHDcjaI/AAAAAAAAACs/gXg6ME5Vc2U/IMG_8976.JPG)

Inaugural Winner of this event, Dave Colclough.

(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/SfBqKYRtYLI/AAAAAAAAAC0/pYNV8eYeBfg/IMG_8977.JPG)

And while he's not playing poker, he's plotting world domination with Pinky.

Maurice McCarthy (who was in between the Scots George 'Wellchief' McDonald and Gordon 'Gimac' McArthur - So errr, McCarthy was the McSandwich) is our earliest exit, 7-4-2 flop. He had 2-2, another player had 7-7. gg etc...

"Table of death 'ere mate," sounded the Geordie twang of Paul Gourlay as I observed the following:

James Morgan
Joey Lovelady
Dave Colclough
Nicholas Katovsky
Bahman Aghatabay
Paul Gourlay
Steve Holden
Joe Grech
Andrew Johnson

Certainly, no table looks as tough as this one.

Katovsky meanwhile was deciding what to do as Joe Grech bet 1,750 on the river of a board of 6d Jc 7h Qh Qs, it looked like he might have had a decision with a medium jack or something the way he sighed and scratched his head. He folded though soon after, and Grech showed him the 7c, "I was ahead, wasn't I?" Katovsky confessed he'd briefly considered calling with Ace-high but decided against it in the end.

Thanks!

JUAAAAAAAAAAAANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Update on Bo Le as well plz.

Is Tudo playing?

He looks to have had a very good start, I guestimate an almost 20k start already. Here he is with a "You eyeing up my bird chips?" look on his face.

(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/SfB0fUc-4oI/AAAAAAAAADE/O4S9sooRxY8/s512/IMG_8979.JPG)

Meanwhile, the most interesting flat since the donkey derby has to go to to this hand.

The board was reading Ks Jc 8h and it looked as though Gary Banks had check-raised John Fletcher to 475, (or he might have lead out having reraised preflop, I didn't see that action). Fletcher called before both checked the Qc turn. On the river Banks bet 1,025 and Fletcher snapped him off quicker than a Malcolm Tucker one-liner. Banks looked worried and said, "You turned two pair?" as he flipped A-K over but Fletcher turned over T-9 for the second nuts, clearly worried about A-T.

Tighty assures me that even he raises the river here...

Boards don't get much scarier than

 Qs Tc Js Qc 9s

I arrive with Andrew Johnson in the small blind betting 400 on the river into an 1800 pot

Paul Gourlay in the cut off raises to 1,500 and Andy agonises for a while before eventually making the call

Paul flips a rather pleasant  Ts 8s for the rivered straight flush while Andy mucks with a resigned chuckle

Paul Brammer just won a big, big pot after some heavy 3-way action. Miguel Tafula had bet 1,500 on the Ac 2d 5h 6c with Tom Nguyen and then Brammer calling. The draw making 8c came on the river and Nguyen bet 1,500 this time. Brammer raised to 4,125 and Tafula folded what he said was a set of aces. Nguyen called and Brammer quickly said, "Nuts," but in a good way, not in a Lennie-from-the-Simpsons "Awww, nuts" way. He flipped Kc 9c and Nguyen looked disgusted while Tafula looked like he was quietly going to puke under the table while no-one was looking.

Ashley Hames, the TV presenter of "Sin Cities" fame, has just done something rather odd..a "call-muck"

Check calling a bet on the end he mucks before seeing what his opponent is showing down. On realising his mistake he gets up and, I must say rather good humouredly in the circumstances, proceeds to take the mickey out of himself very well to laughter from the table

He is down to 2,000 though

hows the rocket man doing after his stright flush please?

Paul has 16,000.

Elsewhere Surinder Sunar has had a decent start, as has James Browning. Both over 15,000

On table Hoivold there has been plenty of carnage. Paul Brammer has 19,000, Hoivold himself 15,000 and the main casualty is Luton's young Gary Banks down to 3,000 or so after that nut flush on the river hand Floppy reported.

He held Kd Js against Andy Bradshaw's Ac Jh all-in preflop with the board coming out 4s Jc Jd Ks Ahrt with screams from the table at the flop, turn and river akin to a goalmouth scramble...

Chris Brammer has knocked out Allan McLean

Chris raised in early position with  Jd Jh and Allan pushed on the button with  Ad Ks for 6,000 more

Chris called and spiked a  Jc on the turn to eliminate Allan's hopes of racing well.


Chris was on the Jonas table and between them they are dominated proceedings on there, the table has just been broken after that exit

Bad Muse Bears some trouble for Mo as he has had to make perhaps the 4th or 5th fold to a Fakshad Ferdowsian raise on the turn, this time Mo Muse bet 775 on a 7c Js 9d 2h, but quickly gave up with a sigh when Ferdowsian raised to 1,775.

Some good muse came soon after though, Ferdowsian was moved to another table.

Mickey Wernick bets 2,600 on a 4s Kh 7s 4c board and Andrew Brisland makes the call. On the 3c river, Wernick now bets 3,600 with about 2,000 behind. Some tankage/dwellage - whatever you krazy kidz call it these days and Brisland folds.

A yard of ale for whoever can guess what Wernick showed...

Here's a tricky one for you. Jimmy Morgan and Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) see a Kh Jc 4c flop with about 2.2k in the pot. Morgan moves-in for about 6k with Colclough covering him by only a little. After a some minutes though, Colclough folds Ac Qc face up and Morgan says in his Scouse voice, "I was trying to rep the nut flush draw and that's what you had!" He shows Ks Qs. Colclough says, "If I knew you had that, I'd have called!"

Good/bad fold? Any case here that Morgan could turn over a crushed Tc 9c, or something along those lines?

Gordon MacArthur has had a tough table move onto table Hoivold, Browning and now Tim (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=433) Flanders (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=433) with chips

He is down to 4,000

Recently he min raised in the cut off for 400, Hoivold made it 2,100 on the button with  Aspades Kh and Nicholas Fellone made it 6,000 with 6,000 back in the big blind with  Ks Kc. After some thought, and a GiMac pass, Hoivold re-raised again to set Fellone in, duly called

The board  3d 9d Qd 2h Ac sent the unlucky Fellone spinning out and Hoivold up above 30,000

Ashley Hames has recovered to 9,000 now.

And now he's out.

On a 2s 6h 2c 9c board, David La Ronde bets 2,100 and after a long dwell Ashley Hames moves in for 5,475 total. Reyaaz Mulla folds and La Ronde getting about 3.5 to 1 on his money takes absolutely ages to call given he's holding Tc 9s. And after all those shennanigans, he's in front, Hames turns over Ac 3c and misses on the 5d river.

Meanwhile Craig Brignall has given James Miller a bit of a bitch slap, check/raising a 4k bet to 10k on a Kh Th 5s board with Miller Cross-ing with himself for not checking behind.

Heathers

Really wish I could find some smart line from Heathers for this but no, all I can say is Nicholas Heather doubled up through Colin Young with K-K vs A-Q on a bored [sic] so bland it would make it into a Richard Curtis script. Watch Heathers though, that film makes teen suicide cool. :)

Zachary Ford and Surinder Sunar just clashed in a big pot, all-in on a Td 7d 8s flop as Ford flipped Ad Ac to Surinder's very nutty Js 9c, Ford picked up some up outs on the Jd turn but missed on the 6c river with the former WPT champion doubling up to about 30k.

But the Ace cracking was not complete as Ford was soon all-in with 9c 7s against Surinder's Aces, but this time the board came 6s 4c 3h 8d Th and now Ford doubled back up, "Now we're even!" He said with a smile. Only problem was that after the first encounter he had just 475 chips left...

Jimmy Morgan is almost down to the felt after losing out with Ac Qc vs Jd Jh on an Ahrt 2d Jd board.

Bad Muse Bears some trouble for Mo as he has had to make perhaps the 4th or 5th fold to a Fakshad Ferdowsian raise on the turn, this time Mo (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=294) Muse (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=294) bet 775 on a 7c Js 9d 2h, but quickly gave up with a sigh when Ferdowsian raised to 1,775.

Some good muse came soon after though, Ferdowsian was moved to another table.

Mickey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283) Wernick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283) bets 2,600 on a 4s Kh 7s 4c board and Andrew Brisland makes the call. On the 3c river, Wernick now bets 3,600 with about 2,000 behind. Some tankage/dwellage - whatever you krazy kidz call it these days and Brisland folds.

A yard of ale for whoever can guess what Wernick showed...

Full report on the buffet please .... :D

These GUKPT Johnnies need to get their act together. I positioned myself at the front of the queue fully 2 minutes 42 seconds ahead of the end of the level. The hot plates looked cold, and there was no cutlery in sight. Odd I thought.

Nevertheless I was at the head of the queue. Disaster! The casino had arranged for food at 7pm, whilst the break came at 6.20pm. As the assembled crowd behind me shuffled off in various directions I was left standing there, bereft of food.

What should I do, stand and wait for forty minutes? No, instead I made it across to the Texaco garage and bought a healthy meal for my tea. I am pleased to report there was no queue when I needed to be served.

So now, replete and restored, I sit here watching a new queue form behind me. Barry (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=42) Neville (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=42) is in full flow, bad beat stories are being swapped and my 20 for 20 buffet queue record remains unblemished, though clearly that record needs adjudication by myself in the cold light of day.

Repeat tomorrow

Devlin raised with  8s 8h, Smith flatted with  Jc Jd

flop  3s 4c 4d at which point it went raise, reraise, push and call

turn and river  Kc Ks

this was almost a double up for Smith

Cristiano Blanco moves in for 6,150 into a 9k pot with the board reading Qd 6h 2h over the top of Mohamad Elkoussa who counts out the call before folding Ts Td face up. The stoic Blanco remained emotionless as he scooped up his newly accquired chips.

A evil board delievered by proverbial dealer of death Lorna just cost Neil Greenhalgh a good chunk of his chips after he tried to raise a couple of limpers out of the pot. Gerald David (known apparently as Skullman, although if I had that much skull jewelry I'd probably get called Skeletor) and Bo Le. All three checked the Kd Jc 8s flop before it was checked to David on the Jd turn where he bet 1,800. Only Greenhalgh made the call and they saw Jh. Greenhalgh checked again and David bet 2,400 and Greenhalgh just couldn't resist seeing how badly his Qh Qd had been outflopped. David turned over Kh Js, flopped two pair, turned full house and river quads were good for the whole pot.

Gordon McArthur is out. Jacks into Kings.

Karl Fenton has dropped to 5.5k after flopping a Queen high flush and drawing dead to the Ace high flush, which even made a straight flush on the river.

Paul Brammer has just been knocked out by Jehan Zaib with Tens no good vs Queens on a 2h 9d 9c Ac 3h board. All the money in on the flop.

Bo Le is the new chipleader, with in excess of 50,000

Lorna the dealer tells us she has knocked out at least 12 players today, including quads versus houses.

Gary Banks took a couple of big knocks early doors, reported on earlier in the thread, and never recovered.

Double up for George McDonald aka 'Wellchief'

He moved in on a 2s Ts 3h board and the behatted Dave Smith decided he couldn't let go of 9s 9d, but drawing to just two cards versus the Js Jh for the Scot. Neither nine managed to materialise and McDonald doesn't quite have the farm yet, but enough for a perhaps a small barn.

(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/SfDJIQY9QUI/AAAAAAAAAIg/wTPXd8ZoB4E/IMG_8998.JPG)

Barry Neville has knocked out Karl Fenton, the latter making a move with Kh 8h but Bazza in no mood to fold his Kc Jh which held on a 5h Js 6s 6d 9c.

And NOT by Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467). The board was reading Ad Qh 9c with Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) and Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Steve Holden getting involved. The raising war went on non-stop while Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) sat at the table next door, NOT BEING INVOLVED AT ALL.

With all the chips going in the middle the two players flipped over their cards as the other players looked on. Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) meanwhile was passing in a mundane hand at the table nearby, I wasn't watching. Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) flipped Ahrt 9h only to find himself in major trouble against the Norwegian who wasn't even playing at the table Steve Holden, who held Aspades Qs for top two pair.

At this point, I swear Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) definitely stated, in a Norwegian accent, "If only I was Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467), I would certainly hit my 9 for supreme binkage." Steve Holden then countered, in an even more Norwegian Norwegian accent, "No no no, "I'm Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467)."

The turn was the Th giving Colclough the nut-flush draw as well, but he bricked out on the 7d river and was eliminated by Holden. As I began to write down the hand on my notepad and take the photo, out of nowhere, a magical flying elf appeared out of the sky, asking me, "How you can you write the hand down and NOT mention Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467)? He's like teh greatest eva!!! If you don't, I'll turn you into a small deaf hamster."

Not wishing offend the magical flying elf that didn't really exist at all, I acquiesced. As it turned out, the magical floating elf that didn't exist, had managed to make the hand immensely more entertaining with his advice, despite the fact he wanted me mention Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) who was nowhere near the action at any point or even aware of a big hand in progress.

An interesting hand developed on table Jaffa

Andy Bradshaw had raised to 1,400 in the cut off, flat called on the button by Kevin Holdstock and in the small blind by Jeff Kimber


the flop of  8d 8h 5s was checked round

the turn of  7h saw Kimber check again, and Bradshaw fire out 3,500 smooth called by Holdstock

Kimber now check raised to 8,000 with 9,000 behind

Bradshaw got up and over the course of the next few minutes we were "treated" to a series of verbal volleys


"that's typical of your play that is, to check raise on that board"

"you are fishing and he (Holdstock) is the dark horse here"

"you know I have to have a hand here"

"if you had the 8 here you wouldn't raise me"

Eventually he made a very frustrated pass, and Holdstock passed too

cue more verbals

"that's ***** play" he said pointing to Holdstock "you smooth calling has cost me that pot" and he really got quite irate, leading to a TD warning

Meanwhile Holdstock looked bemused and Kimber unconcerned as he scooped in a nice pot,

Barry Neville has been knocked out by George McDonald, looked like McDonald got lucky on a Q-J-2-A-8 board with A-6 as Barry flashed a Queen as he mucked.

After a 1.8k raise and a 3.8k reraise, Mickey Wernick moves all-in for a cold 4-bet. No-one wants to tangle with him surprisingly.

I'm guessing people who can't see the photos might be because they don't have a googlemail account? We'll switch over to the old, albeit slower way.

I have googlemail but some pics don't show. They are ok if i right click and open in a new tab though. Could it be a browser thing ?

Andy Bradshaw might have eaten too much orange sherbet... He ran off after after calling Craig Brignall's all-in A-J push with A-T and still managed to hit on an 8-4-3-T-2 board eliminating Brignall before coming back and stacking his chips. If I can get a picture of some of the antics he's engaged in then I will...

Pete Haslam is going well, 60,000 and another who has good table presence

Mickey Wernick has had a real leap, up to 60,000. I can't say for sure but it looks like they were won off Dave Smith who is now shortstacked

The Batty Ballad Of Barmy Bradshaw

Andy Bradshaw has been the source of much entertainment for the last half hour. Playing whilst in a precarious position seems to be his MO.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26122&g2_serialNumber=1)

After calling a raise in the big blind vs an early position raiser, he stands up and theatrically moves all-in on Ahrt 6h 3c board for a big overbet and then starts to run off.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26124&g2_serialNumber=1)

Then TD Ian gives him a ticking off and tells him not to sit on the top of the chair.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26126&g2_serialNumber=1p)

His opponent eventually makes the call with Kc Kh. "Horrible, Horrible call" says Bradshaw turning over Qh Th. "How can you call there?"

The turn and river come out 9c and Td and Bradshaw shakes his opponents hand for the good call. "How can you call there though? There's an ace on board..." Bradshaw turns to Joey Lovelady and says, "How can he call?"

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26130&g2_serialNumber=1)

Bradshaw is now a short stack but still standing around as opposed to sitting in his seat, as if the chair will swallow his soul.

Jeff Kimber had made dramatic progress on being moved to table Hoivold, and I counted a 70,000 stack (a lot of which appeared to have been transferred from Hoivold) when a key hand cropped up

Hoivold raised in mid position to 2,400, and Kimber flat called in the big blind

on a  Ahrt Qh 7d flop Kimber check raised Hoivold's 3,200 bet to 8,000 and Hoivold pushed his last chips in. It was 7,000 more to Kimber, an automatic call

Kimber flipped  Ad Kh

and Hoivold  Aspades 2s

turn and river  9s 3h consigned Hoivold to the rail, and Kimber to a chip lead challenging stack of 90,000 plus

Andy Bradshaw is like a Hollywood action hero, no he's not acting wooden, spouting bad one-liners. But he seems to get himself in remarkable spots and survives against the odds. The latest spot here being Ac Th against Kc Ks with the first card out being the Kd with a Qc on the flop also, you know that a Jack would soon pop along but unlike a Hollywood movie, it wasn't a last minute sweat, more of an anti-climax when the Jc came on the turn, and there seemed no tension that the board would pair the river, which of course it didn't!

"Unlucky" cried Bradshaw patting his neighbour on the back, try to console but unable to hide his delight. Will he make it back for "Bradshaw 2: Fully Stacked" tomorrow? Now there's a plot to a film I don't know.

Ross Parkhill is not a player known to me but he just took a huge chunk out of Reyaaz Mulla's stack

Reyaaz flopped top set on a  6c 5s 4s board, got called twice on flop and turn by Ross and then the  Ts hit the river

Ross bet 10,000 and with a 40,000 pot in the middle Reyaaz made what looked a fairly reluctant call to be shown  Qs Js

Ross up to 70,000 and Reyaaz down to 10,000 or so

Libertini's exit was interesting

I arrived with Libertini having pushed his last 11,000 in after the river on a board of  6d 2h 9s 2s Tc and a pot size of over 25,000

Bo Le gave it a lot of thought, and with 2 seconds remaining before his hand was folded after a clock was called, he pushed the chips over the line to call, flipped  Jc Js and knocked out Mario who had  Ahrt Kd

Bo back over 100,000

Joey Lovelady has spent the last level looking very miserable. The highstakes cash player said, "We've played 8 hands in 40 minutes...People are spending far too long dwelling."

He doesn't seem to be wrong, and as the tables came to a close, you were able to guess which one would be the last to finish...

Meanwhile the laborious process of bagging and tagging has now begun.

Full chip counts to follow for our remaining 33 or so players. Day 1B will start tomorrow at 2pm. Moomin, Geeforce, Dan Carter and Stu Rutter amongst those playing.

Thank you for your patience with us, and me in particular, today. We'll sort the photo issues out for tomorrow

I decided not to play Manchester as a protest against the 4?-6?-8? hand bingo gimmick thing that decides how many hands we now play at the end of the night. In the old days we played to the clock, didn't have dinner served at the table 40 minutes before a break (wtf!) and there was always at least a 4 way chop.
I mean what is the point in playing faultless poker for 12 hours and then tilting them away at the end because some old granny on a slot machine has been dragged over to draw a card as the clock ticks on and no hands are dealt.
Unless `old timers' are asked for their views on new `initiatives' (lolololol) I am withdrawing from future GUKPT's.

And Martin, the old lady musta been busy playin her fruity coz I drew the card for some reason, stitched myself up finishing in the blinds. this system is sooooooo much better than people in early position dwelling every hand near the end, getting clocks called on them, generally pissing everyone off. if u boycott gukpts guess u will boycott the big american events, wpts etc use this system.

Well after starting out quite late I finally hit the road for Manchester at 1.15pm, the sexy young blondish voice of Jane on the sat nav is geared up to get me there for 2.30pm, 82 miles away and 90% motorway.


I stopped off to fill up with diesel and pick up my breakfast from KFC (a boneless deluxe meal) I get on the M6 and start to tuck into my Colonel Sanders trying not to spill the bbq beans on my white top.

Jane takes me straight there and the traffic isnt to heavy and we arrive for 2.40pm. Zac tells me I am on Table 8 seat 7 and the good news is 40 mins late and I've only lost 175 chips, 2 exits as well so I cant be first out, Result.

There's a hand in progress on my table with three people involved and around 9.5k in the middle with just the flop on board, I check the clock to make sure it's still the first level and I make a comment along the lines of "nice pot", Paul Gourlay tells me that every pots been like it!!!

My starting table was daunting to say the least:

1)James Morgan
2)Joey Lovelady
3)Dave Colclough
4)Nicholas Katovsky
5)Bahman Aghatabay
6)Paul Gourlay
7)Me
8)Joe Grech
9)Andrew Johnson

122 runners in the mix

17,300 at the first break
14,025 at the dinner break

Raise from the seat 4 half way through level 5 to 1200, blinds at 150/300 I'm on the bb with KQ so I flat call, flop comes 5K9 rainbow, I lead out for 1600 and he shoves all-in for another 4500, I call and he flips over 9 10 turn and river are bricks and I'm up to 23k.

Couple of orbits later I raise the cut off to 1200 with pocket jacks, bb r/r me to 3500 so I flat call giving myself a chance to get away, T72 flop and he leads out for 1600, I r/r to 4200 and he re pops me all in for another 4500, I call, then he slow rolls me with pocket aces waiting for me to turn my jacks??? any way, no help and I'm down to 10800.

Very next hand raise from seat 5 to 1025 so I repop to 3100 with AdKd, folds round to i/r who flat calls me, T42r flop and i/r checks to me so I bet out 4k here, he asks "how much more you playing" I show him my remaining 3700 and he goes over the top of me, I fold and now I'm steaming.

At the start of level 6 I've got back to 6k, I have a conversation with Joe (the joker) Gresh who see's that I'm steaming and I tell him that it's so much easier pushing a short stack. I steal some blinds and elevate myself back up to 15k.

Blinds at 200/400 folds to Dave Colclough who raises to 1200, folds to me on the bb and I find AsQs so I decide to flat call, flop comes AdQh9c, I lead out for 1200 and DC r/r me to 3600, I then r/r him back another 3500 to which he pushes all in and it's another 4800 for me to call, I make the call and DC flips Ah9h, Turn comes the Th giving Dave a nut flush draw although the river bricks out for him and I'm now up to 31,000

At the end of level 8 and after a couple of table moves I find myself on 44,000

Almost at the end of level 9 (last level for the day) and the chip leader on the table Mohammad Elkoussa gets in the mix with Mickey Wernick bb v utg encounter, the later calling a 7,500 bet on the river to scoop a 30k pot with a rivered flush.

The clock is paused with 15 minutes of day 1A remaining and we are informed that there will be 6 more hands at each table.

Very first hand of the six, blinds at 500/1000/75ra I am utg and I find KcKs in the hole so I raise it up to 3500 (we are 7 handed), folds to the sb Mohammad, I'm not really certain whats going on here as I'm not really observing and I got Pink Floyd giving me "wish you were here" on the ipod, I look at the dealer and he is pointing at the small blind, I take my earphones out and the dealer tells me that the sb has gone all-in, although he hasnt pushed any chips over the line, (bugger me I think- that's some stack) I ask for a count and at the same time I count my stack - it's another 31,500 to call and I've got around 8,500 left if I lose the call, I call and he flips pocket tens, I cant bear to watch and just stare at Mohammad's face waiting to see if he smiles if he hits one of his two outers, No miracle card and that's really it for the day, 87075 and in 2nd place after day 1A.


Thanks for all the good luck messages yesterday coming through Blonde and on my phone.

Absolutely agree with what Jaffa says about the old dear drawing a random card, has to be best way to end each day as each table HAS to play the same number of hands, should alleviate slow play.

How come you decided to lead here? Given that most people would check this kind of flop,

Couple of orbits later I raise the cut off to 1200 with pocket jacks, bb r/r me to 3500 so I flat call giving myself a chance to get away, T72 flop and he leads out for 1600, I r/r to 4200 and he re pops me all in for another 4500, I call, then he slow rolls me with pocket aces waiting for me to turn my jacks??? any way, no help and I'm down to 10800.

OK this confused me, from that i figure its 200-400 and you raise in LP with JJ into a guy with just over 30BB obviously this is a good spot but then you seem to think he has a better hand? What really confused me was that you said you called so you could 'get away' but then still stacked off, would love to know what your thinking is through this whole hand.

Very next hand raise from seat 5 to 1025 so I repop to 3100 with AdKd, folds round to i/r who flat calls me, T42r flop and i/r checks to me so I bet out 4k here, he asks "how much more you playing" I show him my remaining 3700 and he goes over the top of me, I fold and now I'm steaming.

As far as i can guess here there is 18k in the middle and you folded for 3700? Did you put him on a set or something?

Blinds at 200/400 folds to Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) who raises to 1200, folds to me on the bb and I find AsQs so I decide to flat call, flop comes AdQh9c, I lead out for 1200 and DC r/r me to 3600, I then r/r him back another 3500 to which he pushes all in and it's another 4800 for me to call, I make the call and DC flips Ah9h, Turn comes the Th giving Dave a nut flush draw although the river bricks out for him and I'm now up to 31,000


Again i see you lead into the PFR, is that something you like doing? Also your 3bet size, why so small?

How come you make it 3.5x this deep with a premium when earlier you were 3x raising? Especially as BB-Stack ratio is much lower. Also how much would he have needed to have to make you fold?


Cheers, always good to get insight of non-internet players.

How come you decided to lead here? Given that most people would check this kind of flop,
I/r was relatively short stacked here therefore I felt my hand was good enough to lead here without the need to give him a free card

Couple of orbits later I raise the cut off to 1200 with pocket jacks, bb r/r me to 3500 so I flat call giving myself a chance to get away, T72 flop and he leads out for 1600, I r/r to 4200 and he re pops me all in for another 4500, I call, then he slow rolls me with pocket aces waiting for me to turn my jacks??? any way, no help and I'm down to 10800.

What really confused me was that you said you called so you could 'get away' but then still stacked off, would love to know what your thinking is through this whole hand.

I called the r/r to 3500 so I could get away from the flop if over paint landed, wasn't putting oppo on a made hand here but more on a AK, AQ, KQ range, on the flop after he's r/r me it's 4.5k to call into a 20k pot so very little fold equity given I've got the overpair - I imagine the hand pans out the same if he's holding A/T.

Very next hand raise from seat 5 to 1025 so I repop to 3100 with AdKd, folds round to i/r who flat calls me, T42r flop and i/r checks to me so I bet out 4k here, he asks "how much more you playing" I show him my remaining 3700 and he goes over the top of me, I fold and now I'm steaming.

As far as i can guess here there is 18k in the middle and you folded for 3700? Did you put him on a set or something?

Again, very little fold equity here as you point out, but what am I beating - a bluff may be, the guy's been pretty solid all night and he's r/r pre with somthing, r/r with air isnt in he's range i believe so I'm putting him on a pair, blinds at 200/400 so I've still got 9xbb and at least one orbit to attack the weak players - and I'm still alive more importantly.

Blinds at 200/400 folds to Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) who raises to 1200, folds to me on the bb and I find AsQs so I decide to flat call, flop comes AdQh9c, I lead out for 1200 and DC r/r me to 3600, I then r/r him back another 3500 to which he pushes all in and it's another 4800 for me to call, I make the call and DC flips Ah9h, Turn comes the Th giving Dave a nut flush draw although the river bricks out for him and I'm now up to 31,000


Again i see you lead into the PFR, is that something you like doing? Also your 3bet size, why so small?

Not something that I tend to do, no - it allways depends on circumstances, Dave had been pretty tight for some time after taking a beat with AQvAT (I think) so he was obviously looking for a good spot to get it in, I wasn't to sure if Dave was holding a pp here or a big ace, I considered r/r pre but decided against it in-case he repopped me with AK, AA, KK - flop comes and I eliminate AA or QQ from his starting possibilities, I  now put him on AK . i lead out on the flop cause I thought that if Dave was holding AK he would view me leading out as a blocker with KJ or TJ and would r/r me. The size of the 3rd bet on the flop was big enough to establish 1) that I wasn't going to fold to a 4bet. 2) If he flat calls here, he knows that I have to push on the turn regardless of what lands on the felt


Very first hand of the six, blinds at 500/1000/75ra I am utg and I find KcKs in the hole so I raise it up to 3500 (we are 7 handed), folds to the sb Mohammad, I'm not really certain whats going on here as I'm not really observing and I got Pink Floyd giving me "wish you were here" on the ipod, I look at the dealer and he is pointing at the small blind, I take my earphones out and the dealer tells me that the sb has gone all-in, although he hasn't pushed any chips over the line, (bugger me I think- that's some stack) I ask for a count and at the same time I count my stack - it's another 31,500 to call and I've got around 8,500 left if I lose the call, I call and he flips pocket tens


How come you make it 3.5x this deep with a premium when earlier you were 3x raising? Especially as BB-Stack ratio is much lower. Also how much would he have needed to have to make you fold?

I think 3.5 was enough here given 1) we were 7 handed. 2) we were very deep into day 1 and most preflop raises of 3 / 3.5 were getting through as there were no short stacks at the table and no one wanted to get tangled up that late at night. Micky wernick on the BB had me covered at this point and I wasn't certain how many the SB had as he had just lost a pot to Micky for 30k-ish. I don't think it was "how much would he have needed to have to make you fold?" but more to the "what hand am I putting him on here" AA was ruled out instantly and I just needed to eliminate a rag ace from the equation, if I put him on AK or even A2 here I fold.

You have KK and are raising to 3.5BBs as "most pre-flop raises of 3/ 3.5 have been getting through" and "If you put him on AK or even A2 here I fold".

1; why would you not want action with your KK?
2; Surely if you think he has AK or Any other hand that is not AA you would snap call here?

Hi mate,
I did want action if I'm ahead and I'll take my chance's if he's got pocket tens, jacks or queens - even though a massive favourite if he's got AK or A-rag in that situation at that time I would have laid it down, call it intuition or you just know when your running bad, I knew the ace was coming.

I cant believe the negativity in some of the responces - perhaps this explains why you hear so many people at comps moaning, "that tosser had AJ - and you guessed it, the ace always comes" or "How can I lay down kings there - I know he's got ace fooking rag".

So, reverse the situation and say the sb has AK or ace/rag and I call effectively for my tournament and the ace comes down on the board, I was only in for 3500 and could quite easily have passed, I would have been the donk there - as well as being unlucky.

We should remember that we were playing for a first prize of just under £90k - I think if it had been a £50 freezeout with a £5k first prize then my reasoning may have differed here.

Hi Steve,

Apologies if I get anything wrong as I have only just skimmed back through but whether you are playing for £5,000,000 or £5 you should always try and make the most optimal decision. I know it can be difficult when the money is big but to consider laying down KK because someone has a bare ace is really bad.

Ok he might hit but we want his chips in before he misses.

so you take more +ev lines in a 50f than a 1000f?

I cant believe the negativity in some of the responces - perhaps this explains why you hear so many people at comps moaning, "that tosser had AJ - and you guessed it, the ace always comes" or "How can I lay down kings there - I know he's got ace fooking rag".

So, reverse the situation and say the sb has AK or ace/rag and I call effectively for my tournament and the ace comes down on the board, I was only in for 3500 and could quite easily have passed, I would have been the donk there - as well as being unlucky.

We should remember that we were playing for a first prize of just under £90k - I think if it had been a £50 freezeout with a £5k first prize then my reasoning may have differed here.


so you take more +ev lines in a 50f than a 1000f?

i think im the complete opposite.

do u srsly muck the KK if the guy accidently flips up A2o after shoving?

That late in the day and with just 3.5k in the pot, easy fold.

Steve I know you're on the black belt programme- think this would be a great hand to discuss next week (read on the blog you're discussing hands in smaller groups)

but surely that late in the day is the time to double up or go home?...better than coming in the next day and being out after 5 minutes.

In this situation, yes.

No one on the table had deliberated over a decision so you can take it that if he's got A/rag then there's a 99% chance there's 3 aces live.

Steve would you mind if i asked you about your thought process during some of these hands? Will obv wait till after you have finished with the tournament.



I made a couple of mistakes late on day2 at Walsall that effectivily cost me a bigger pay day and I didnt want to make the same mistake at the end of the day1 in Manchester, Now in most of your eyes, had oppo had AK and I fold KK pre then it's a bad lay down p/f, but on this ocasion it would have been the correct lay down with the ace coming on the turn... and there was no King on the river.

I was asked about my thought process while playing some of these hands, Now I have responded as honestly as I can - now, how you choose to play these hands out is entirely up to you as is your thought process.

Steve,

Your thinking is completely results orientated which is wrong. Whether or not the board came KK256 or AAA22 is irrelevant. You need to be making the play that is going to be +EV in the long run.

If I'm standing at a roulette wheel and I say to you 32 is going to come in now, if it comes in it's still and you backed it it's still a bad bet because long term what you are doing is going to lose you money.

I think this is what you aren't seeing in your play and what you should be.

Not going to repost as I've already commented on your blog, but remember that in this situation there were 4 aces that could have hit. If your opponent was in fact holding one there would only have been 3, making it that much less likely one would have hit the board. Results based conclusions like this are obviously flawed.

I've been sat at the table with you live a few times now mate and you have no problems reading people.

With regard to the above, whist I was counting out my stack I'm getting a feel for if my oppo has AK as I already know by the overraise that he's not holding AA - I asked him if he was beating AK a couple of times and sensed some strength in his demeanor.  I had a gut feeling that he had somthing like 9s, 10s or jacks. I think at the end of the day it comes down to your gut instints which unfortunatly we get wrong now and again.
