we are up to 100 in this 1a.

Not a bad turn out at all for a 1a, obviously Saturday is going to be packed so decent numbers before then bodes well for hitting the £1m GTE

There is one of me, and the High Roller looks like a stonking field. So i will keep one eye on the early stages of the main while mainly looking at the for a while and posting on the other thread

Marcel Luske has just unfortunately bust. He looked to be short on around 4K and put all bar a 25 chip over the line.

He found 1 caller who called off the last 25 on A Q 6 flop. Marcel's JJ outdone by A9.

There are two players at or near the chip lead. Frustratingly i walked along half way through the key hands that got them there

Shaun Johnston knocked out Ivor Frost with 10-9 v 7-7 on 10-9-5-2

Piecing it together with my ears open, Johnston was waxing lyrical to anyone who would listen (and anyone who wouldn't) about how he was "only stealing pre-flop" and "he must have put me on ace-king to move in then" (i assume on flop or turn)

Simon Higgins meanwhile is sat in a seat 9 having pushed his last 44,000 into a monster pot on the river of a

Td 9h 4h Kh 3d

He catches my eye. I catch his. He looks away. I try to get a read.

Meanwhile his opponent in seat 1, the other side of the dealer is Robert Alexander.

Alexander covers Higgins

I wait as Alexander decides whether to call

Several minutes later i am still waiting

The clip clap of chips being riffled around the table interrupts the air of tension

Higgins looks impassive

Eventually Alexander calls

Higgins flips 3s 4s, from the cut off

Which was not what i had put him on

As Alexander mucks, presumably neither did he.




Johnston and Higgins are on over 200,000 just approaching the final break of today with 3 levels left to play

was similar in the 2k. i dont mind having bigger starting stacks if thats what people want but we really dont need to be 500bb deep ever. imo if 50k stacks then we should be starting @ 100/200 (with 25 antes would make it even better but fine without if it has to be that way for the main). it's a waste of everyone's time in those first few levels, and particularly for re-entry events we should be encouraging a bit more action early. would also encourage people to register on time, although again this might only be an issue in side events.

Tom Kugelstadt raises and peels a 3 bet from Feargal Nealon with 8-9dd

it comes 6-8-9 and he gets his stack in check raising and calling a shove from Aces

the river coems a 6 to counterfiet him and knock him out today

we are up to 200 runners today, added to 121 yesterday so 321 and registration open for another 80 minutes

tomorrow should be full with 500 runners plus, but might have to be an absolutely bumper day to hit the guarantee

we will see

Absolutely this.

DTD seemed to have nailed structures in recent years, so why it's like this for this event seems bizarre.

Gave me couple extra hours in bed tho waiting for the antes to kick in though!

What is the optimal time to turn up then Alex?  After first break?  Level 4 so 2.20pm?  Is that the 100/200 (25) level?  25/50 50/100 and 75/150 first 3 levels?

So some observations from the latest walk round

Happened to catch a few things

Lee Naylor (I think this is the Wolves and celtic footballer, in fact almost sure it is) Raised UTG+1 and Florian Duta called in the big blind

the flop came 9-7-6

it went bananas

Duta check raised and Naylor shoved, call

Duta 8-5 for the straight and four to the flush in spades

Naylor two red sixes but behind

turn 8

river 7 to send Naylor's stack into the stratosphere

Just roughly it was at least a 120,000 pot


Title: Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones
Post by: TightEnd on February 26, 2016, 06:29:19 PM
on the next table i think Eleanor Gudger is the chip leader with over 170,000

either side of her though are Lawrence "everyone calls me Bertie" Bailey and Sylvia Hewitt both with 140,000

--

On a table across from them Brammer is big blind to Keith Johnson's button. going to return to that table shortly, both very inscrutable when you watch them and both battled for a long time in the high roller yesterday so there is some history

--

In a row at the far end of the room.

seat 6 jabracada
seat 7 middly
seat 8 tim chung
seat 9 steve warburton

the foursome have been picking a suit each and side betting for £ flop textures

in seat 1, lurking with a somewhat different style is Mad Turk

i will be back at that table too

--

On another table Gryko is button into one of the Laming brothers and Steve Watts in the blinds. If i had more than one pair of eyes id go and look there too

- and then turning round i spy Fred Wise, looking like a cross between David Gest and Daniel Radcliffe (imagine it) who looks to have entered late and already doubled his stack


i am going to pop the latest seating up again. i'd prefer if you tell me which table you want me to transcribe some hands from.

Ian Gascoigne is playing, fitting us in between a busy schedule that over the next month involves Sheffield Wednesday, Cheltenham races for two days, watching his horse at Newbury, a day trip to Paris for the six nations and probably running the world's financial system too

Post by: cambridgealex on February 26, 2016, 06:53:49 PM
weird structure, agonisingly slow for 9 levels then too quick in the last 3 or 4 levels

was similar in the 2k. i dont mind having bigger starting stacks if thats what people want but we really dont need to be 500bb deep ever. imo if 50k stacks then we should be starting @ 100/200 (with 25 antes would make it even better but fine without if it has to be that way for the main). it's a waste of everyone's time in those first few levels, and particularly for re-entry events we should be encouraging a bit more action early. would also encourage people to register on time, although again this might only be an issue in side events.

Absolutely this.

DTD seemed to have nailed structures in recent years, so why it's like this for this event seems bizarre.

Gave me couple extra hours in bed tho waiting for the antes to kick in though!

For balance, I love the 40/50/60 min clock for day 1/2/3!

Any and all transcriptions will be most welcome rather like long-lost friends.

The four amigos with Mad turk lurking sounds rather like something full of Eastern promise manufactured by Fry's.

UKPC Saturday- 12pm & 4pm Day 1s {please read below}

I have just finished a meeting with Simon and the DTD Team regarding Saturday's UKPC schedule. They are faced with the following logistical problem:

400 + qualifiers have selected to play Saturday Day 1 which uses 45 tables out of the 50 available dealing 9 handed, because of the deep structure by the end of late reg only 10% of these players will have been eliminated, so the maximum players that can be seated during late reg is less than 100. We normally get 250-300 DBIs on the last Day 1 for UKPCs, so we need to deal to 650-700 tomorrow.

Simon and the DTD Team's answer to this problem is to cram the Club with 15 extra tables and deal the event 10 handed and extend late registration by 4 levels, which means that they would be able to seat up to 600 players and another 100 during late reg.

I have personally overruled everyone. I do not want any players (qualifiers or DBIs) queuing for hours, being cramped and being forced to enter into a premium event with < 50BBs. So I have instructed the following;

Day 1 12PM - all Sky qualifiers are in from the start and DTD qualifiers have first option to enter with no waiting. DBI players have the option to wait for seats in the 12pm Day 1 OR can enter the 4pm Flight and start with the same stack as the 12pm players which is much fairer. If any qualifiers wish to move to 4pm, please contact Nicola Veitch on Facebook.

Day 1 4PM - This will late reg till 8.40pm and finish at 3am, Day 2 starts Sunday 1pm, so players have a 10 hour turnaround.

* The 8-Max will now move to a 7pm start, 9 levels played which will finish at 1:40am for a 2pm Day 2 start on Sunday.

This is the first time we have offered a Saturday Day 1 so we now know that 90% of qualifiers will choose Saturday going forward and can plan accordingly, I would rather the DTD Team work harder tomorrow so the place isn't chaos and uncomfortable for players - yes we have a big club - but 65 tables with no marquee is way too much to deal a premium event at the club, and 10 handed is not a product that we should be offering, buying in at < 50BB because there are not seats avaliable not acceptable.

Can I ask every player that knows me to do me a favour if they can and choose to play the 4pm flight, can I also ask players who are re-entering from previous flights to choose the 4pm flight, there are times when I need the players to help me out, if we all work together we will have a comfortable day for the players and the staff. Anyone that lives 2-3 hours away can now start off a bit later - 450 at 12pm and 250 at 4pm flight will be a smooth day for everyone.

when you put the qualifiers into saturday by default surely this problem should have been spotted several weeks ago? inventing a day 1D when facing a likely £100k-£200k overlay with 24 hours to go doesn't seem completely legit to me...



Title: Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones
Post by: NigDawG on February 27, 2016, 02:39:26 AM
from the outset there were other tactics that could have been employed such as same day re-entry, faster structure early doors, or just simply a lower guarantee. i appreciate that you couldn't change any of these once the tournament started but these aren't shocking new developments they were all fairly obvious. i doubt the 4pm flight will draw a huge amount of uniques, it's more likely a last chance re-entry for those that have busted in order to cut the overlay.

People would just go in as alternates if they didn't do this, so I can't see much effect on the overlay.  It would have been my plan regardless.  That would have been if Rob hadn't just given away thousand in a sat on party poker anyway.

Kinda inclined to give Rob benefit of doubt re overlay considerations, I think argument that online quals for whom this is their first live event, or only one they play all yr, etc, should have a decent experience is a very strong one.  However, I do think some errors were made in planning stage that have led to a not great situation for all parties.

-structure.  agree 500bb deep to start is unnecessary.  would alleviate late reg problem if stacks were shallower faster.

-start day distribution.  It shouldn't really be a "we can now plan accordingly" that 1c >1a and 1b combined by a significant margin.  Fact its Sat is immaterial, its pretty intuitively obvious and would be true under nearly all circumstances.

-extend late reg.  why only first six lvls of day?  Especially when 1d entrants have a 10hr turnaround between an 11hr d1 and an, i don't know but I'm guessing at least that length again, and most likely longer, d2 - thats a pretty huge disadvantage.  IMO either 1c late reg (actually day 1s across board) should have late reg until at least end of lvl 9 or so, or day 2 should start later.  Since the latter change would have been tough to coordinate at a days notice I get why that option wasn't used, but the early curtailment of late reg kinda baffles me, esp when considered in conjunction w/super deep early structure.

The invention of 1D is to purely accommodate everyone. Rob made the decision having looked at the figures. Yesterday at the end of Late Reg only 24 players had been eliminated. So roughly 10% of the field. With the tournament being next day 're entry only we are only talking about a very very few amount of players that can actually even consider playing more than one flight today anyway. All Rob has done is requested that some people move to the latter flight to minimise any chance of an alternates list and queues

right but this was obviously going to be the case when you put the qualifiers into the 1c flight so why not arrange and advertise a 1d weeks ago? they could probably have even made it/added a turbo flight saturday night/sunday morning. just seems weird they got this 1c (and imo the structure) wrong when i know they put a lot of planning into these great festivals

I think chopping out the first 3 levels and having a 1C at 10am and 1D at 4pm would've been a good way to go (from the outset, not changing the structure mid-comp obviously). Shame this added flight will look worse than it is to some people. I don't think it'll generate many re-entries at all from 1C to 1D. I like the progressive clock though 👍🏼

So it's going to be full for 1B with alternates. 10% of field bust before 4.40pm. A significant number of those seats will be taken by alternates/late reg. So actually how many tables will be available at 4pm. 3 tables if that? Can't see people that arrive at 2.30pm for example wanting to play the late flight if can get seated in the earlier flight with 250 bigs.

Obv would have been better to have turbo 1D at 6pm. But should have been easily foreseen.

Also why was there no dinner break yesterday? Can't remember a comp running midday to gone 11pm with no dinner break.

Think if putting on an ambitious guarantee, which obv we all want, that one same day re-entry is a no-brainer.

It's going to be the kind of busy that only DTD can do.

A suggestion for everyone there today...

If you see an interesting hand, post it ITT. Tell us as much as you like about what happened (if it's your hand and you didn't show, obviously, you needn't post it here).

If you're walking about and see something interesting or someone with a massive stack, post the details. Needn't be exact, but you'll have a rough idea. Post your own stack here if you have a big swing, too. Tell us what happened, if it isn't too raw.

Pictures? Feel free. Lookalikes? Biffo!

Don't worry if you don't know names. Table number and seat will do. Bear in mind some people are Anon. Refer to the lists on the DTD site or ITT for guidance.  

It'll be hugely helpful and makes the thread more interactive.

I'll give you an idea of what I can see, then, for those of you who can't be here.

Tighty, I and the Sky Poker brigade are up in the far left corner, as you see it from when you walk in, and pretty much everything else, apart from the roulette wheels, the smoking shelter and the bars is occupied by poker tables. As with any other poker comp, the crickets are in force (that persistent chirupping of chips being riffled we have come to know and tolerate) but the table chatter seems to be lower in volume than normal. For many here, this will be one of their biggest ever tournaments and it's understandable that they'll be concentrating hard on what is in front of them.

There's a faint, incidental radio over the speakers. As the afternoon progresses, I reserve the right to occupy time telling you who's playing.

Those of you here, pipe up and tell us what's going on where you are, please.

And good luck to everyone playing.

14,4 but hurry up as I'm doing my upmost to lose all my chips and be first out.

I was over in a flash. Ish.

With the button in seat 6, I saw the following hand.

Seat 9 (I don't have a name, but he dashed back to his seat in time to receive his cards) opens to 350. This is 3bet by Shaun McCarthy to 1,200 in seat 2. Seat 5 (David Hamlyn) calls with speed, not fearing recriminations from the UTG opener, who duly obliges by making it three to the flop.

 Kd Jc 6d

UTG checks. McCarthy, continues his story with a bet of 5,675. This is called by Hamlyn and UTG folds.

 2c

McCarthy fires again. Two 5k chips are evacuated from the diminishing ammo store. Hamlyn shows no fear again. Call.

River  Qd

Check check on the end.

AK McCarthy. No good, sir.

AA for Hamlyn.

Nice pot to win. Didn't fancy the bet on the end. Understandable, this early on.

Natalie Bromley-Folds has been over to say hello in the break. That's Dingle Belle to blondites.

Jeff "Jaffa Cake" Kimber has north of 60k after a steady start.

Verndog has a crucial baseball cap on. When I saw him wearing it in Vegas, I assumed it was he was just doing that British thing of wearing daft clothing to inform everyone he was part of the noble Empire. You know the sort...

John Gale has got an early double up

He called a raise in mid position and the big blind 3 bet

both players called

Qh 2s 6h flop

The 3 bettor lead and both called

Kh on the turn

the pre-flop 3 bettor now checks

The orginial raiser makes it 4200

Gale shoves all in

and the big blind check cold calls the shove

the turn bettor gets out of the way

Gale flips Kspades Qd for turned two pair

the big blind stands up, punches the air and flips Ad Kc

is then told he is behind

He sits down

6d on the river for Gale to double

Spencer Oliver the boxer has doubled up. Ap layer to the side of him takes up the story

" e flopped two pair din'e. but the board got horrific din'it. Flushes, straights the lot"

He paused and i waited expectantly while Oliver sat shyly next to him

"so on the river like the guy bet all in and Spencer calls with with no flush and no straight an 'is two pair is good innit"

Spencer smiles

"it was either brull'yant or terrible, dunno which"

Spencer looks at me, with an icy glare. The thought that it was "terrible" seems to have strengthend his resolve

Apologies for the intermission. I was introduced to Jake Wood and decided it was only right to bore him senseless about Strictly. Apparently, he is in Eastenders, too. Probably some relative of Pete Beale.

I have been over to see table 31, which has Leo McLean (seat 1) and Jeff Kimber (4) at it. This should be worth a watch.

Button is in seat 6.

Folded to Jeff, who makes it 700, which is called by Brian Baker in seat 8.

Flop  3c 9h Kc

Jeff's C-bet of 900 wins the pot.


Entertaining start...




Title: Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones
Post by: Tal on February 27, 2016, 05:04:49 PM
Button seat 7 (Chris Jones).

Leo McClean opens UTG to 700. Kimber calls (3betting pre is for young'uns), as does Jones on the button. Blinds take different amounts of time to fold.

 Aspades 6s 5s

McClean leads for 1,500, which is called by Kimber.

 4c

McClean barrels checks, as does Kimber.

 Js

How do you like your river cards, fellas? Spadey?

Check, check. Anticlimax, much?

McClean's  Ts Tc wins.




Title: Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones
Post by: Tal on February 27, 2016, 05:08:08 PM
Button seat 8

Kimber in 4 opens to 700, which is called by Leo in the Big Blind. A passing valet shouts, "Who ordered the immediate redemption burger?"

 6h Jc 7c

check from Leo. Kimber's 1k is called.

 3h

Check again. He's up to something. Kimber wastes no time falling into his trap and bets 2,100. McClean folds.

This is why I am standing watching and not playing.


Title: Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones
Post by: Tal on February 27, 2016, 05:12:10 PM
Button seat 9

Hayley Kirkham in Seat 6 calls. Seat 9 calls, too, as do both blinds.

 2c Ahrt 8c

Everybody checks.

 4h

And again.

 6s

Leo has had enough of this. 1,000 chips.

Kirkham calls and her A9 is enough to give her an adequate accompaniment to her tower of Skittles.

 Isn't it good that Tighty's doing the updates again. Should come back for the Deep Stack. Although his mind is probably wandering to the King Power at the moment. In other news Greek Jack actually folded a Jack to a 4 bet. Not a pair of Jacks. A Jack.


Title: Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones
Post by: Tal on February 27, 2016, 05:14:02 PM
Button seat 1

700 from Seat 9 wins the lot. We change dealers while I evade a valet with a full tray.


Title: Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones
Post by: Tal on February 27, 2016, 05:21:01 PM
Button seat 2

Kirkham calls in 6. Brian Baker in seat 8 makes it 1,000. Called by Kimber in 4 and the initial raiser.

 Aspades Ks Tc

Check. Kirkham now thinks for a while, rubbing her middle finger on the felt back and forth. It looked like a check but it wasn't; she was just deep in thought. After 30 seconds or so, she reaches to her stack and bets 2k. This is called by Kimber.

 6d

Check check.

 Ahrt

Check again from Kimber. 3k is too much, though, as he folds.


Title: Re: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones
Post by: Tal on February 27, 2016, 05:22:25 PM
The blinds go up to 200/400/50 now, with seat 3 on the button.

Leo makes it 900 and wins the lot. Well, the blinds and antes anyway.

While the dealer is shuffling the cards, I am accosted by a chap in a white hoodie. He takes his headphones off (polite sort).

"You work here, mate?"

"No, sir, I don't."

"Ok."

He then puts his headphones back on and goes back to his seat.

No idea what just happened.

Before that, there were two more hands from table 31 to share with you.

Firstly, button in seat 4.

Leo makes it 900. Button and blinds call.

 Tc 6h Ahrt

Leo Cbets 1,900, which is called by Jeff in 4.

 8c

4,300 is called.

 5c

Check check.

Leo's AJ wins.

Last hand, then. Button in seat 5 and it is 5, Lauren Render, who makes it 1,000 to go. They're her skittles, I apologise.

The blinds both call.

 7h Jh Th Td 5c

Anyone fancy taking a stab? For the fans? No?

Chris Jones in seat 7 steps up like a hero. 1,200. Render calls

Jones T6 beaten by Render's QJ.



Right then, Fun4Fraser and Doobs have arrived. Bants...

You will have noticed that the updates are limited. It's so busy here that it's really hard to get in between the gaps. We're doing our best to give you what we can. Obviously, lots of people are delighted to see me, too, and have been coming over to discuss anything from clothing to basketball to the state of greyhound stadia to the English rugby midfield to Strictly to... well, you get the idea. When I say they have been delighted to see me. probably not as delighted as they seem to be when I play, granted, but delighted anyway.

There's a million of you out there at the tables. If you're casually perusing the thread, tell us who you're rooting for.

He is still around though.

I spotted him playing cash in the big PLO game at The Vic the last time I was in town and still looks a young as ever, so much so that Neil Giblin enquired "who's the kid in seat six"?

It is noticeably noisier in the main room now. Players are more relaxed and those who have satted in for tuppence will have their feet firmly under the table.

Walking around, I'm struck by how few sets of headphones there are around. It's refreshing to see people talking to each other, laughing and joking and generally loving the game.

As a spectator, that really makes a difference.

Tal is doing wonderfully, he volunteered to come today and spend his weekend helping out, thanks very much it is very appreciated.


It's VERY hard to do much by way of reports & chip counts at the mo, the club is rammed, we can barely move between tables, & we have 5 laptops perched on a coffee table sharing 2 power points. Apologies, that's just how it is.
 
When it gets deep into Day 2, it'll be easy, of course. For now, it's a challenge.

roll on eight tables, into the money and covering a lot of hands.

bear with us for now (p.s this is always the slowest day for exits too, the qualifiers aren't putting it in light so the bust out rate is v low)

Doobs spoke to me in the break

he has 200,000

and survived a 3 way all in to get there

he called a raise with 4-4 in teh blinds

multi-way to the flop it came 8-5-4 two of the same suit

he checked

the raiser led

a caller shoved for 15,000

doobs called that

now the raiser goes all in

doobs calls and is up against 8-7 for top pair + gutshot straight draw from the first shover and two overs with the flush draw from the second shover so having to fade 12 cards twice

which he did to treble up

On a board of  5d  7d  9s both his and seat 7's stacks go in.

Oliver  Tc 8s

i think the numbers are as follows

338 before today
500 flight 12pm
130 flight 4pm
968 total
with some unused tickets to add

so not too far away

the first flight, which i must say has been absolute bedlam to try, and fail, to cover has 291 left

101 are through before today and there are going to be a couple of hundred minimum of 200 through from today so maybe 300+ back for day 2

with the aim of playing to a final tomorrow. good luck us.

quiz question

What connects:

Eastenders
Casualty
Bob the Builder
It Ain't Half Hot Mum?

Jake Wood's acting credits?

no.

i blame tal for this one. not easy, think characters in the show

jake wood was a lovely guy. must have been asked for 100 selfies by punters all day. did each one with a smile

back in eastenders as max branning in september

Poker, poker, poker, poker - oooh, trivia question.

I'd guess it's number one singles (I know Anita Dobson, Bob the Builder and Don Estelle/Windsor Davies but can't place Casualty)

characters in the shows



chip counts in the morning, not going on the system imminently with the second flight still playing
