blonde poker forum

Hello blonde, I am selling a package for 4 events in the upcoming month or so. I will be selling 20% for now, but may open up more later.

(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc416/cambridgealex/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-23%20at%2010.45.51_zps98xgseth.png) (http://s1210.photobucket.com/user/cambridgealex/media/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-23%20at%2010.45.51_zps98xgseth.png.html)

1% (min) = £111.50
2.5% = £278.75

Now Deauville has gone, Barcelona is by far the best value EPT stop now, and constantly has record breaking fields in all events. Depending on how things go, I may play the €10k as well, investors here will have first refusal on that, markup will be low.

I lived in Barcelona for 5 months after last years EPT, so know the locals really well, plus the style of play generally I am familiar with. This'll be my 4th year at the EPT here I think. I came 2nd in a 1k re-entry here last year for €80k, plus a win in the Marbella cup a few years ago.

The main event is marked up at more than the 2ks because of the structure (60/75min clock, 30k stack, all the levels), field strength (satelliters, punters) and field size (2-3x bigger). The 2k freeze only has 12k starting stack, 50min levels but is notoriously soft, full of people steaming from busting the main. The Estrella hiroller has 25k starting stack, 40min levels and gets loads of runners, will be very good value, without many of the EPT regs who haven't arrived yet and clashes with the 50k so many of the uber sickos will be absent.

I don't have much info on Bristol as it hasn't ran for 2 years and I don't play UKIPTs often at all, but assume field size will be small.

Good Luck Alex, im posting so that I keep getting reminded of the thread and may take 1% at some point! I am supposed to be not taking any pieces at the moment at all but this is tempting me!

Booked guys, and Callum I'll book you 1% too ;)

That's 11% sold, at least 9 more to sell. Playing regardless ofc.

Shipped

@fakelogic on Twitter has taken the last 9% so this is sold out for now.

Thanks to those who have shipped already, think others should all have my details already, if not let me know.

I have details from a previous stake but its a wee while ago so please confirm.

Confirmed same as since I was 12! Ending 264

Shipped see pm.

Good luck.

Sent to Stars Al.

Thanks both

Sent to the 264 account.

am I in or not, im easy either way.

but if i owe you message me with how much and where to send it to!

sent on stars

It's up to you pal. If you want 0.5% for £56 then you can. Or if you want 1 or 0 then that's cool too. Stars is 20alex430, or you have bank details I think. No pressure to have anything.

I would take 0.5 % Alex, I know in your op you said min 1 %, if you are happy with 0.5 percent I'll send over tomorrow, if not no worries

Opened up a can of worms here haven't I :D OK booked.

Sold out now.

In Bristol for the UKIPT. Hiroller tomorrow, will evaluate field carefully before regging. Could be <20 runners or something silly from what people are saying and the numbers so far

It's not got the runners but it's quality not quantity, very happy buying in. Reckon it'll get 25/30 runners in the end tho. Probs gonna get tougher tbh as many regs on the fence yday but will defo play when they see the field now.

Btw this is one re-entry and I will almost definitely want to re-enter if it's not too late.

Can whoever reads this and has a piece please say in or out for reentry

The regs were all waiting to see if you bought in?

Balloon report Pls. 

Bust level two :( . Two hands back to back vs  Alex Lindop

Peeled 3bet with 66 and check called two and folded river on 5h 3s 2h 2s Th

Then opened AQ cbet A84ddx he raised I caller, turn Q I checked he bet 3.5 into 6, I had 13.5k and jammed. Think have to jam cos he can have A8 A4 and call, combo draw etc and only lose to 88 and 44.

Have to re-enter this. I know most of you and hope you can trust my judgement on this one.

Bokked myself by writing a post about how I had 40k and loving life on new table. Then lost it all back in one hand. Starting stack now, level 5.

Up to 26 entries one more level of re-entry.

36k. Getting the post done before anything bad happens

Never realised this started today, have not paid yet, Alex, thought it was all Barcelona stuff.

Still happy to be in if its ok with you, including today's bullet #2.

If you agree, I will ship it across tonight.

glgl. obv in for the £22 :D

Got up to 55, now got 30. Really annoying hand where guy 4bet me with 98 and I flatted QQ, KJTQx runout and he checks flop and turn back so no way he ever has an Ace when there's a fd there and I have a set or two pair so often on this board to call with.

River he bet 10k into 28k and I made an admittedly crying call. Should've just raised I guess.

Happy with the re-entry. Will ship when back in UK on Sunday. GL

Crippled just before dinner. Older gentleman raised pre and check called 2600, check called 6000, donk bet 12000 on a 75442 board, I had 99, he had a bizarrely played AA. Fair play to him though, didn't expect him to have that.

5bbs to spin up

Bust :(

Yeh of course you're on board teeks. Didn't do any chasing up and know you're good for it :)

Usual details.

Bad start but barcelona beckons...

Shipped

out for rebuy

Thanks Alex.

I was in for 1%, & I've added the 2nd bullet, which comes to approx £136.80 in total (£111.50 + £25.30?), & sent it by Bank TX.

If that's incorrect, I'll sort it when I see you.

Barcelona, then. But first - I hope - the UKPC High Roller, August 19th. ;)

Only just caught this, happy to pay for the re-entry (the 1% that is, not all of it :) ).

2200 estrella hiroller lets go!

Big GeeeeL

Good luck Mr G.

 

Got an amazing table! Seriously good.

Got off to a good'un with 9d 8d in 3 way 3 bet pot flopping the old Jd Td 5c

Rivered 7h and got paid off handsomely.

Starting stack on first break. 10 handed and everyone playing far too many hands anyway so gotta play real snug.

900 entries and counting, amazing stuff!

46k from 25k. 250/500 now.

Vamplew cold 4b folded to my open / 5b jam. Won a couple other small ones too.

Tougher table now as two spots busted, onereplaced by Praytush. Still good tho.

Out.

Structure pretty turbo and so many roflers had to get stuck in and battle eventually. 4bet jammed 32bbs utg vs btn with AQo, would consider it standard given how he'd been opening every hand (k8s mp 10 handed for eg), spewing around generally and had heaps of chips. Had the Kings this time. No regrets and onto the next one.

EPT main today.

Eli Heath on my table no other big names yet.

30k starting stack, huge field, let's go!

Lost a big one KK vs 33 on QT332r in 3bet pot.

20k first break 200bb next. Table is tough for this field, a move would be great!

Back up to starting stack end of level 3. Table got worse, 4 Brit guys now, tamer, chaz and eli! Kitty Kuo, Jean Montury (ept Malta winner) and andrey shatilov (sp)

Oh my! Please put Kitty on tilt!

Is Kitty good?

Yeah she's decent for sure.

She's from a hella rich family which has meant she's gotten a ton of 1 on 1 coaching from Dan Smith. Think she's a winner online and live.

At times she's hilarious and at times she's tilting. Def a character.

Kitty is a legend who just gives off an aura of idgaf. Was lucky enough to cover her final table at WSOP this year.

Barely put more than 5bb into a pot since level one. Been so card dead and patient.

Dinner with 21k. 500bb next. Table improved so hopefully form will too.

52k made our first big hand of the day and got paid a treat.

Last level of the day 300:600

37.7k for day two 😬800bb tomorrow

Thought Id turned a corner after that hand but was more of the same for the last 90 minutes.

Oh well, happy to still be in. 

Good luck today Alex

Keep it going Mr G.

Get on with it. Go so far past the corner you cannot even see the corner.

Oh and get your nob out the fridge.

66k #peaking

1700 entries total!

Good luck today Al

Got such a good table with a big stack on it who's tilting hard. He just limp utg KJo someone isod I 3bet massive with AK, know he's calling any two, he cold calls, raiser folds flop J high three spades I have Ks and we just check it down.

He just limp/ called 4x with J8hh and jammed for 5x pot effective when checked to on QQ7ssx lol.

If I keep being patient and solid on this table then good things should happen.

40k 8/1600 now.

The refund bubble for you guys coming up...

If I surivve the next hour or two then ill have to skip the 2k!

33k 1600bb though so it's touch and go...

22k on break 11bbs going back.

Up to 46. Value bet two streets for half my stack on river with Q9 on A95 xss 8s 2x

oioi

Bust AKs vs 99 22bbs each. Amazing comp.

Jumping in 2k at 100/200. Had a walk round and drink to chill, feel great, field looks great, let's do this!

We all love a trier :) Good luck mate

27k from 12k starting, maybe this is the one! 400bb next

41k, guy 3b ripped 35bbs with 33. Honestly these tournaments are just unbelievable! 510 runners atm.

Haven't won a hand since that ^

Just bet twice with a flush draw and gave up. 21k 800bb. Avg is 28.

Sigh busted.

Did something I've been really not doing all trip, keep passing up these spots, and even though my read was right, still semi annoyed at myself for not passing up this one too.

Mp opened off 25bbs, co is aggro Spanish reg, taking really obviously spots a lot, and had a good tell on him 3bets, basically was really sure he was light and opener could be light given who was in the blinds.

I had KTs 25bbs on the btn and jammed, bb woke up with AK, other two snap folded.

Table wasn't great but still could've waited. Just been so dead all trip and I was confident in my read so went with it.

Thanks for investing guys.

For the guys who took a piece in the hiroller, I will now definitely be playing whoop! So excited.

Calm down, calm down  :)

Good luck.

Had amazing table then moved after 20 mins to tough late reg table! 😬

50k 100/200/25

60k first break from 50 starting. Not getting put in tough spots but no-one giving it away.

80k second break.

360 entries atm, hoping it'll be 450+

76k on dinner, uneventful two levels. 800bb next. table is good.

Amazing turnout for a €10K event.

Best of luck Alex.

Lost big one. 46k, 1k bb

Will write up hand later, focussing now. was fine though, wouldn't play it differently.

Won a couple of medium pots to get up to 70, then must've lost 10 small pots on the trot to go down to 44k. Literally just defending bb or peeling opens in standard spots or opening and c/folding. Not more than 3/4bbs at a time.

Last level of the day is approaching.

Busted literally last hand of the day. Was short (20bbs) and had KJ vs AJ on a JT6  board two spades, spade on turn Jack on river. Could've folded turn but bet was very small but still, very few good rivers for me, sod's law the offsuit Jack was one of them, and that's what cost me.

Got 480 runners with reg still open! Hurts to have bricked 5 amazing tournaments here, I'm not one to overstate things, but really it's been amazing value all week.

Next time I hope we'll get em.

Unlucky, Alex, but you seem to be nice & upbeat about it, which is good.

Next time.

Yep, unlucky, sounds like you had a non-event at the tables. I'm sure next time will be more fruitful.

Can only echo alex's thoughts on the event. Was so shocked at the value in every event, even up to the super high roller. Just madness everywhere!
