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

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.

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.

No worries.  Any hand with a 2 is the nutz and you did great to duck and dive as long as you did.

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

Pretty much..there is a small argument for folding..Johnny vac does not put his money in like that light and AK is min here..I know you only have 12BB left..but its a full 10 man table and u r a super grinder....because of the player i think the range is very narrow..QQ,KK,AA,AK...he peels with 10 10....A Q etc

Its the same old story though, ur just unlucky running top 4 hand into top 3...

but raise folding here is never really + EV..

Lol, c'mon tighty, you know that only if you hate money then you fold the Jacks.
