I'm selling at 1.21 in this case

Alex Mfkin Martin will be eager to see you sell out in under 4 and a half minutes as well.

One of the memorable moments from this summer :-)

I abs loved this line......

 standard was between mediocre and awful. Went out 1st hand in one of them

wasnt just me that lol'd at that then.

Reminded me of a time when the, ahem, 'legend' that is Catman told me he had an edge in the £2500 HORSE at the first WSOPE because he had lost over £100,000 in mixed games over a 20 year period.

Good luck Alex. Would've had 10% but too slow this time.

win it all.

Good luck, play more Dick Lynch than Celtic and you'll be fine

GLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLGLGLLGLGGLL

goooood lack

cheers guys, that'll be 0/1 then. absolutely superb starting table, get from 12 to 17k after peeling a min 3b 4way with 34ss and seeing a free turn on 87s8s9s board and getting a decent vbet on the end. then some old guy (looked like he was trying to be about 21 again- probs 40ish, bit like nirvana) come late and limps utg+1, i iso 77 and get called in oh, 3 spots. then utg limper elects to make it 2100 (opened to 550 @ 75/150). Standard muck but 1st hand, gimme a break. elect to flat and let him go bananas, seems very weak. Call, probs bad but was an old guy behind me who had me covered who seemed kinda tricky (flatted my open earlier w KK and called 2 of my baby barrels). Fold was deffo best in hindsight, can probs avoid every remotely marginal spot in these things. Flop 1052, about as good as it gets, he bets 2.5k into 4500, call. turn 3, figure he now jams just about any aceX, he jams, call, q10 nh.

dwindled to 5kish, then rejam twice over Q10 dude and get through, up to 7.5k start of exit. Iso donk with QQ @ 100/200 to 725, called by whale on my left (seen play atc, passive, station), then v short donk jams for 2k, Q10 folds, i jam and whale snaps w 33, shortie has AJ and 33 scoops. Feel like 77 was bad rly, but gd about chances of 1 or 2 deep runs. ah well, off for funtimes with scantily clad ladies now, manyanaaaaaaaaaaa

lol Alex keep the tournay reports coming, love em mate. glgl for the rest

will do mate, didnt play today guys, had a heavy one- halloween is too much fun out here! will either play one more $340 or give a refund. got some pretty funny photos, one in particular of demps id like to recommend as a stars avatar.

lol,, old guy, 40ish, bit like nirvana

Taking that as a huge compliment :-)

Steer clear of the poker fishaay and you'll have a much better time

i won, i won i won i won, iiiiii wonnnnnn, i wqnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Que?

Wiiiiii

Now to get home with it...

Was the TD the loch ness monster by any chance?

what did u win?

Don't get too excited Paul, in fact, dont get excited at all. I had a convo on MSN with Alex shortly after he posted that, He wouldn't have even know what Poker is let alone how to win a tourney.

Sounded like he had a good Hallowe'en though...

So com,wp Alex lmao.

sigh :(

hehe - Nirvana would love to be as 'old' as 40 imo.

Sounds like you're having a good time - gl with the pokerz if you get round to playing anymore :)

shit just seen this, dont think i did, lets go for it now though.

played 2nd 340 yesterday, good early start, unsure regarding one hand. weak passive 25ish american, been limping a lot, opening a lot, probs playing 50%+ hands limps co off 13k, i iso a8dd, flop K104ddd (nice life) i cbet 650 into 900 (75/150), he cr to 2k, i call. Turn 5s, he bets 4.5k. At this point im close to 100% sure he has 2p+ and jam, in hindsight i shoulda got greedy but id been very active, probs mistake. He later said he had AKo.

Get up to 20k then play a hand like a spacker, american young limpyfish who has been pretty aggro postflop limps button in family pot. I complete sb w Q10o and QJ8ss flop is pretty rough, all check to yank, bets, i call, hu to turn. Turn 4o, c/c, river 6o and i c/c which is pretty bad as they tend to pot control way too often, pretty bad. Had kinda been walking into nuts for a while and made a ridic bad curiosity call.

Another hand i check option w K6o after co and btn limp and lead a 4h57dd flop. button peels. turn Kh, bet/call. River is a 4h and i go for a c/c and he bets v big, i call and 62hh is good.

Crippling hand, i overlimp A8ss in mp @ 150/300. Flop 34Qss and i can see very tight young american loading up looking very excited, checked through me (obv want multiway dominated action and hate getting it in v this guy), he bets 1/2 pot. I call. turn A, i c/c 1/2 pot. River brick non-spade and he bets 1/3 pot, i continue playing like the best hand-reading station in the room and call expecting to see 33/44 but really hoping hes thinly vbetting KQ, wp martins.



This hand took me from 12k to 5k and i then 3b jam over a loose utg open @ 200/400/25 and get a coldcaller from the bb (some spanner who'd been there all day), his KJ holds v AK and it was time to eat another californian candy bar and get paralysed for 24 hours.

 

in truth played pretty badly today, gonna start squeezing a tonna more tomoz and 3betting a lot, think the majority of  field are too weaktight and need to start being a little bit looser.

scarlet pimpernel

English only please

Alex's tourney reports are the greatest.

Historians are going to find them in future centuries and believe they have found a new language.

really srtuggling. these tournament fields are like nothing iv encountered for a long time, so many players with cape's on it makes it incredibly hard to continue accumulating. Played the 3rd $340 yesterday and was pretty depressing. Went from 10k to 30k really fast doubling up w Q8 v Q2 on Q82hh early on and getting a cr turn bluff and river jam in 3b pot through. Then this guy turned up and it went pear shaped.

Hand is kinda ridiculous. I open 63hh in co, shortie jams and gets coldcalled by one oldish fishy yank and this short golf guy. I make a v loose peel. Flop Q72ddd. Flop gets checked round. Turn is a 4d and due to my seating i cannot see that allin guy has actually left the table. I stab 3.2k into 9kish (pretty sure guy has no d by his whole standing up when flop drops routine). 1st guy folds and 2nd guy jams after dealer mucks allin shorties hand. Im like WTF how can you just muck that, hes allin! Anyhow golf guy shows utter air and points out that guy has left the table. Marvellous.

I then get involved in a squeeze thats utterly ridiculous. Yank limps, guy on 8k iso's, guy fresh on table coldcalls button and i squeeze 84hh biggish (openers stack is perfect). Limper (golf) calls, opener folds and button tank calls. Flop KJ6hh gets checked around (planning on check jamming over yank, c/c v unknown). Turn is a 2 and i bet 5.2k into 9k. Golf calls. River is a T and i giveup, he sets me in and shows me 77. Hmmmmmmmmmm, you win the cockwave i guess.

Over the next 2 hours i see some of the most insane poker iv ever witnessed, 5 way pots where players check jam 99 over a 4k bet into 2k with 8k on A84ss and some incredibly optimistic play. I get cold 4b twice in this period, which im pretty sure means im running into the goods in these fields. I think you really have to dumb down to an almost animal mentality to beat these ppl.

Pretty happy with the value in these though obv, so 1 more 340 then the bigger comps. oyoy, doing my bets here rupert and paul! :P

Play worse if possible

I would tighten up a bit Alex, and cut down on the 'plays'. Too many players in Vegas will call you, especially in bigger pots. If your 63 anit hitting flops or getting through pre then just give it up. You'll get plenty of spots to get it in good.

You can't ask a man to stop breathing imo

ok ill bring a book.

my bet is on the $1k. might need to score to get home.

winnnnn the world, you have to run good once right?

No it isn't

Gl
Just try not to do too many fancy plays in this weak and soft field.

EAD

meh, no good guys, i ended up playing 4 $340's and 1 $540, my exit hand of which put me on sufficient tilt to not play the 1k. Basically the day before i had played with some young french kid and we had been having a bit of a war, which resulted in me crippling him and him busting. Fkit ill do the whole 540 report.

So you get a bean more chips in these and my starting table looked reasonable. 1st hand i open JJ from mp (hu v smartly dressed 50ish american), flop Q84ss, i check, he checks back, turn is an offsuit T, i bet and he call. River is a 6s, i bet, he raises and i call. KQss is a nice hand. I then 3b JJ v a fairly loose young polish guy, he flats and i check back a A94 board, he leads big on 2 turn and overbet sets me in on K river, which was pretty tough spot and i think i made a mistake folding (he didnt show, but his body language was identical to later on when he pulled a big bluff and got looked up). I go down to 5k before getting JJ in v KJ in a single raised pot against another shorty bvb when i open, he calls and i c/c a K65ss board when he jams. Get that back up 3b jamming AQ and holding v A9 then playing a few small pots before i get a bluff snapped off post-antes by a hero. Elect to nit for a bit as table has got much more active/showdown happy.  I dwindle from 15k to 8k then see utg open at 100/200, v tight young guy 3b from mp and i jam KK from the big and he makes a dubious 3/2 call with Q8s which i hold against.

Table breaks and im opposite of french nutjob who has about 100k at 200/400. Average 35k and i have 19k. I open AKo utg+1 to 1150, get called by old tight guy (who we had both played yesterday) and frenchie squeezes to 4500 from the SB. I jam and he tanks. I always wonder how ppl tank in these spots, either ur 3betting to get it in of 3betting to fold no? Anyhow he calls w 108s and the 88J board was a bit of a bugger. Felt really frustrated after this and elected to not play the 1k after going out. Cheers for stake guys, will ship back money on the site i recieved. 

Ul mate

Unlucky Mr NutsInAVice - sounds like my trip in July.
FOLs!

Anyone received their monies yet?

Sigh sent pm also and still no reply

think alex is away atm - spoke to him on msn on friday and he was possibly due to fly somewhere imminently.

Have rang Alex and left a message for him Paul.

Knowing Alex well he has prob forgot, he is like it when he is owed money too, so doubt there is any reason to worry.

thanks

yeah am fairly sure he's just busy/forgot etc

has anyone called the police?

Probably Paul!

paul why don't you ask for an ip address check to make sure he is in the UK

Can confirm that when i rang his phone it had UK ringtone. Doesnt mean to say he is in the country though... I'm off to check the ip address.

anyone got a pic of this man?

Has anyone called Interpol  ?

Yeah the said Alex was up to his old Antics, this was only obstacle no 1 in this case and this shouldn't be barricade for the stakees.

Ip address shows Alex posted from caracus.

GG all.

I saw him speeding away in a Fiesta, heading towards Brazil, on Monday.

warm here.
