Title: Urgent: DTD £1k proposal
Post by: MC on May 27, 2009, 03:51:02 PM
Am dying to play this, wish I'd put up a thread, but better late than never, thought I'd see if I could get enough last minute takers to make it worth playing

£60 for 5%, and I'll see if there's enough interest to go and play it, I live 50 mins away...

Should be an overlay that I'm keeping my eye on here: http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=42140.15

Thanks guys, will see you there Fran!!

Sorry you missed out Rupert but I didn't even see your message til the early hours yesterday morning cos I'd already jetted down.

Nick got in his 5% cos he text me while I was on the way there, sorry you didn't have that advantage...


Was all-in 3 times yesterday, twice chopped the pot and then the KK hand that was in the reports. Low point was 14k, think I peaked around 41k (tighty must have imagined a couple of extra 5k chips when he said I hit 50k plus hehe), go back with just over 36k.

Thanks to backers, one time etc etc

tyvm everyone

Hopefully I will get knocked out before the money though, otherwise I'm gonna have to find some money to pay the 160% I'll owe...

lol jk obv. Dan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=86) Carter (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=86) has 20% of me also, anyone who is claiming anything else is a joker and trying to make me look stupid :)  Was hoping Dan would keep quiet so I didn't look silly selling so much of myself hehe, but I wouldn't have played otherwise...don't worry he paid the same as everyone else...

Yesterday, after getting my KK cracked by AK and being down to 4.5k figured it was all over, but it was still a few big blinds so I guess it's never over til it's over. After a flip with 33 vs ATs to get me back in it, I never looked back. Built up to 120k over the next 3/4 levels. Interestingly I haven't bust anyone all tournament! I did try at the end, 3 betting a shortie with AQs, he shoved and had the only hand I wasn't getting the odds to call. Sigh. But 80k is 50 big blinds going back, so not worried. In the last level I was perhaps open raising preflop a little light and my table has become a bit too loose to do that now, so will be nitting it up early on I think.

ONE TIME!

Cheers mate,

Seeing as you asked me to clarify, everyone has bought a direct piece of my action with no stakeback.

i.e. if I were to win £10k, 5% would be worth £500

I don't have a share, I don't care

Really hopes he scoops a nice score for his backers and himself

MBSFN to be Blatch IMO- sweating 40 odd k without being sat at a poker table!!!


Title: Re: Urgent: DTD £1k proposal
Post by: MC on May 30, 2009, 12:04:19 PM
Thanks so much guys ;)

Things were obv going very well yesterday. One hand kinda set off a downward spiral for me sadly.

Decided to smooth call a 80/90kish stacks raise pre on the button with AA, it comes down KJx with 2 clubs and we get all the money in, but he has KJs. Pretty brutal that I hit an Ace on the river and thought I'd binked, only to be told he'd made a backdoor flush!

Perhaps biggest mistake of the tournament came in the last level. I raised up QQ to 11k UTG 6 handed. Mo 3bet me to 31k, having been v.aggressive since arriving at the table. I wish I'd just shoved right here, but opted for the smooth call to try and get more out of him. Flop came down ATT, sigh. We check checked flop and 8 turn. 5 river I check and he bet 40k. I pretty much snapped him off, but he'd cleverly checked the A9s twice.

I have like 13M going back, so still in with a shot. 1 more comeback ftw!

Hehe sorry Flushy as well...

Sigh, I guess it's not a bad result from the chips I had at start of play today, but still a bit disappointing to miss out on the mega bucks.

No real hands of interest today, all pretty standard. Exit interview here: http://www.pokertourradio.com/james-atkin-exit-interview

8th for £6250

Neil (40%) gets £2500 (Wired)
Dan (20%) gets £1250 (Wired)
Tony (10%) gets £625 (shipped on Stars)
Nick (5%) gets £312.50 (Wired)

Have shipped Tony's cos I happened to have some dosh on Stars and that's how he paid me. Everyone else will have to wait til I go to the bank on Monday and I'll sort out wires.

Wp James, you did well to recover from <5bbs and finish where you did. Re transfers, internet banking ftw, but i'm in no rush.


Title: Re: Urgent: DTD £1k proposal
Post by: MC on June 01, 2009, 06:34:47 PM
Just to confirm that I've shipped all funds today. I'm with HSBC, will take 2-3 days to come through if you guys are with other banks...

The walk from the car to the bank with £6k in my pocket was a bit of a sweat lol.

Let me know if any problems occur! (For example if I purposely accidentally put your account numbers in wrong, hehe)
