Title: Circus Casino Luton Anniversary Shield £220 comp. Staking Post by: TightEnd on September 22, 2009, 10:53:37 AM This £200+20 comp takes place over this coming weekend
15,000 starting stack details of the comp are here http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=44101.0 I will be playing a super sat, but if I gain a seat the staking if successful still applies My record at the casino is good. I have played two previous Anniversary Shields in 2006 and 2007, the only comps I have played there, and final tabled both. It is in my experience a soft-ish field, and the stack-structure should allow me to have an edge At the other Luton, in £50-£100 comps which is a buy-in size I limit myself to out of my own resources, I am hitting one in three final table finishes over 47 comps so far this year I am looking to sell 60% of the action (£120) in a minimum of 6x £20 blocks Returns would be on a 50-50% basis after stake is returned Stars transfer (Prewie) or bank or cash in person for locals would be good Thanks in advance Title: Re: Circus Casino Luton Anniversary Shield £220 comp.

I am undecided which of the two day ones to play Title: Re: Circus Casino Luton Anniversary Shield £220 comp. Staking Post by: TightEnd on September 26, 2009, 02:11:31 AM half time staking report
I peaked at 30,000 at 300-600 and was doing fine I then had the unfortunate concurrence of losing a couple of pots and finding 11 of us still in, with me on the 5 handed table, as we hit 600-1200. The TD made the decision to play one more level and I found myself a shorter stack, short handed on a big stack table which I found unusual and awkward to play Anyway I return with 20,000 and blinds 600-1200/100. Re-draw and revert to 9 handed play A double up and we're in business Full report on conclusion of my tournament, some interesting situations so far.

Staking Post by: ripple11 on September 26, 2009, 10:41:10 PM :)up Well Done Tighty..Never in doubt imo Good luck in the second half! Title: Re: Circus Casino Luton Anniversary Shield £220 comp. Staking Post by: TightEnd on September 27, 2009, 07:04:12 PM First two hands today, AK on the button and AA in the cut off..both with a limper in front, and I don't get on. Sometimes image doesn't work in your favour!
I folded junk for three rounds, with only one unopened pot to shove into, which got through Down to 13,000 with blinds 800-1600/100 i shove blind in the cut off, the next unopened pot, and John Vaccarrella calls in the sb with QQ I look at 5-2 off. Ugh. 2 on the flop, 2 on the river and I am up to 26,000+. Next orbit, just as the blinds are going 1,000-2,000/200 I am back at 23,500 again Find JJ UTG+1 and make a standard raise to 4,500 The same player, John Vaccarrella shoves 40,000 in mid position This looks a lot like AK to me, certainly far more so than QQ+. He is also tilty as he's been chuntering about me and 5-2 since our "previous" I can fold and have 9x bb left with blinds about to come through. Anyway I've put him on AK and win a race and I am in decent shape. Not sure I should fold really. Call, he flips QQ. gg Tighty, 10 high board. Thanks for the stakes, finished 16th of 55. Sorry it couldn't have been better. Title: Re: Circus Casino Luton Anniversary Shield £220 comp. Staking Post by: Laxie on September 27, 2009, 07:14:05 PM No worries. Any hand with a 2 is the nutz and you did great to duck and dive as long as you did.

Sorry it couldn't have been better. Raise/folding with a J and another J here would be a big mistake. Just unlucky you ran into a guy with history holding QQ Title: Re: Circus Casino Luton Anniversary Shield £220 comp. Staking Post by: TightEnd on September 27, 2009, 07:33:46 PM Yes George. Easy to be results orientated this close to the exit, but I'm not anywhere deep enough to raise/fold
