blonde poker forum

Well Yesterday was the start of the one of the big events in the Uk the Gukpt Goliath. This is my first live event from after a few months out due to my partner being pregnant it is only my 3rd  Live tourny (not included local games) as this year i was going to shift my grind from online to live which started off good with a cash at DTD and a bubble in my first 2 events. I did end up going to DTD alot more but i played the cash tables as i seemed to be killing them but then i had to stop due to family time.

But now im back to live poker after the birth of my gorgeous twin girls (Brooke and Caitlin), and as of yesterday it started great and was chip leader of Day 1a with about a hour to go with around 160k. I eventually ended the day with 274k stack of 61bbs in the top 6 of day 1a players. Im hoping to take my form over to the next day and im sure if i play like i did on day 1a i will be making my way deeper in this event.

Be nce to meet up with some fellow Blonde members playing this event, So if any of you are there sat be sure to stop and say hi, Also is there anyone else who played yesterday who made it through?

Gl to all of you who make it to this event and hopefully see you on the last day.

Interesting tourney ...
Interesting players!
Think this might be fun!

It wasn't fun.....

Lol

Lol that bad huh? lol.   Its full of average pub standard players. Its a fun game :D

Out in level 9
Had an absolute disaster.
AK 1st hand but missed flop and lost a small pot against 7,7 and 8,8
Ran AQ into AK and A10 into AJ
Had A4 in a family pot on a A,8,x flop. Turn 4 got me in trouble against a slow played A,8
Flopped a set of 9's but lost to a stubborn K10 who rivered a gutshot.

All that took me to about 12k

Then flopped a monster, my JJ connecting with J66 flop
Got it all in against an old chap with 88 who was unlucky enough to turn 8's full.
That got me back to starting stack but was straight back to more of the sam timing issues as before.
Down to 10-12 BBs and I was in shove mode. Got the blind with A8 and KJ one round but next round a suited J10 took a shot at me and got there.

GG

Good luck to any remaining Blondes.

Only lasted till level 10, I didn't realize it was a 4 day event which for a £100 buy in seems a tad drawn out especially when I read they only played for about 4 hours today before getting down to the final 9 and finishing till tomorrow.
I just can't see the point in not playing on today.
Still I was happy with my play and my AQ shove got beat by 88 when I was down to 12 bb- still learning and need to desperately improve on my mid game play (and I will)   :)up

Busted in 39th for like $500 odd. Kinda disappointing as i ended up being chip leader as some point  with 1.9million in chips then i got moved to a table. and lost 1.4 mil with KK vs j10 after i 5bet with them, then the board came J87 turn was a 9! cry!

Then i shipped on the same guy later on a J64 board after he raised the button and i 3bet him from the bb 3x his raise. and he snapped me off with 64o kind gutted but ah well thats poker!

Pretty sick unlucky !
