Hi guys,

Now the amateur festival that is the WPT is over the big dogs are out to play in the Grand Prix at DTD. This super hiroller event is £90 buy in with a guarantee of £250,000, first place guaranteed at £30,000. Also the top 50 get a £550 seat which, if I were lucky enough to get one, you would also have a piece in for a future event.

I will be firing up to 4 bullets and most probably playing live day 1's today (Monday 7th November) and Wednesday, but nothing is set in stone as of yet. I thought it might be fun and hopefully give a few of us a small sweat.


Whilst I'm not claiming to be an extraordinary player, I am a profitable live player at low stakes, even if this is over a relatively small sample. The grand Prix tournaments have always been great for value due to lots of inexperienced players satelliting in for very little.

I haven't played an MTT for over a year now, due to being overseas, but have kept my game fairly fresh by playing various cash games on my travels


I'm selling up to 40% with no mark up for a total of £144, and I will be playing regardless of whether I sell sod all.  10%= £36.


Here's a link to my hendonmob, missing a few results totalling another 2k ish for some unknown reason. And as previously mentioned, the reason for it being very blank the last 12+ months is due to me not having played an MTT.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Morning George.

I don't buy a lot of action these days, but you've been a loyal supporter & contributor to Fred & never caused us a spot of bother, so I'd like to take 20% please, which is £72.

If you sell out & other regulars want a piece, I'll happily reduce my stake to give others a chance.

I'll need your Bank Details, please, PM them to me & I'll ship the cash immediately.

Good luck mate, & most of all, enjoy.

Morning Tikay,

Thanks for the quick response and nice comments. I can't imagine everyone will be fighting over 20% of action for a daft lad from Staffordshire but we shall see!

I'll PM bank details now.

Thanks again.

Thanks George - £72 paid by Bank TX.

Good luck today.

Unfortunately cant play it myself....so good to have a small stake.

10% pls

Cheers Ripple. Pm'ed bank details.

Received the money. Thanks!

Never got to say this before and actually mean it but rest!

I misread this and thought you were telling me to get some rest! Haha.

Booked. Will PM you bank deets.


Sold out now guys, thanks for investing.

Received. Ty

Just register. Table 22 seat 7 if anyone is around.

Pretty good start going into the first break, up to 240k from 100k starting. Pretty comfortable on the table. Only one real hand of note:

Level 3 with blinds of 750/1500/150ante.

Im on the button, All involved have around 100k.

There are 2 mid position limpers. I Raise to 6200 with QsJh. BB calls and has been very active, made a few strange river bluffs trying to chip up early, and is already complaining he's  below average. He bluffed me in a previous hand and showed it, got a pretty good read from that hand and various others.

Flop 742ccx. He donks 7200 quickly, I raise to 19.500. He snaps.

Turn Qd. He then checks, I bet 25k which is snap called.

River Kc. He snap bets 40k. Previously when he bluffed he was snap betting then looking me down. I tanked for around a minute then flicked it in. Probably a bad call but had to go with my read.

Level 5 I managed to find QQ vs JJ vs TT and held. Managed to chip up to around 370k.

Weird first hand on a new table. utg I raise to 7200 with TsTc at 1500/3000/300. Round to the BB who throws in a couple of 5k chips and the tries to pull his blind out to make it a call. Dealer states the raise stands obviously.  I Raise to 28k and the guy flats. He has roughly 100k behind.

I bet 30k on the flop of 543ssx, he makes it 85k. I decide to ship the rest in and he shows AK. Pretty good shape. He turns a king and I miss the river.


Pretty brutal orbit or 2 losing AQ vs AQ and a few other small ones.

A few hands later I get 99 in on a flop of 567 against 88 and the turn is a 4 and I'm out.

Pretty crazy first bullet. Not sure how it came crashing down so quickly but here we go again, bullet 2 fired.

Ran worse the 2nd bullet. 4th hand in run AQhh into AA on a QT3hh flop and didn't improve. Hopefully things improve wednesday!

Vbol with the next two bullets, will get it shipped to you tomorrow bud :)

That all seems pretty standard & unavoidable, you just need to run a shade better.

Good luck on Wednesday.

No worries mate. Ship me some run good if possible as well please!

Just confirming I'll be playing again tonight, hopefully with a better result :)

Table 34 seat 3 if anybody is around

Was up to 400k from 100k starting at 2500/5000/500 but down to around 200k after 2 lovely hands.

First of all I got AJ in against 67 on J62 and a 7 spiked the river. Very next hand we find AA heads up on an AQx flop, turn King and we get it in vs K10 and he rivers the jack. Still an average stack but we'd have been cruising if they'd have held. C'est la vie.

Yuk, 2 nasty ones there.

Made it through with 542k ish with blinds being rolled back to 3000/6000/600

Excellent.

I'm not familiar with the structure or format, but Day 2 with 70 or so Bigs sounds pretty good to me.

When do you resume playing?

Morning Tikay.

I think we start again around midday on Sunday but I'll have to confirm.

There's an option to buy in direct to day 2 for £500 for 600k chips (100bigs) so getting through with 90 bigs isn't bad at all! Time to run good and have a £30k score  ;kev;

Sunday Dinner will be Value Pie, then.

Nice one  :)up

Good luck Balders and team, will be following with keen interest!

Table 34 seat 6 if anybody is around. Let's go!

Up to 730k after 5 levels, going back to 10k/20k/2k I believe, average 700k. No real hands of note. Got away from AJdd when an older chap shoved 250k ish and showed AQ.

980k going into the next break with blinds up to 25k/50k/5k so nothing to shout about.  Been a very frustrating and card dead day, had nothing above AQo and 88. Had to grind out small pots. Hopefully a big double is just around the corner!

980 k sounds fine

sending you some run good

GL

Lost A9 vs 35 on 96422.

10 bigs left. GAMBLE

Shoved a few and got through. 800k and blinds are.now.up to 40k/80k/10k.

135 paid with 148 left. Gotta find a good spot to get it in.

Hand for hand 139 left.

Find it pretty weird the clock hasn't been stopped since hand for hand. We've now got through a level and a half and played  5-6 hands.

In the money. £500 guaranteed £30k up top. Time to spin it up!

Well Done..shipping more run good .top 5 finish beckons

Haha I wish. Shoved my last few bigs into KK so a min cash will have to do. Shame it wasn't more but hey ho.

500 cash and 90 in refunds as only bullets were fired.

If you guys could PM your bank details in ship the huge amount of money over in the next day or so.

When the money has gone into my PP account I'll ship it over
 I've got Rexas' details so far, just need you other two to send your bank deets

Hi George,

Sorry, been a bit waylaid the last few days.

Well done, we had a bit of fun & nicked a few bob, no complaints at all.

When I buy a bit of action, I do like to see regular updates, though I also understand that those should not be at the expense of affecting our focus on the game. Think you did a great job of keeping us informed - thank you.

Will send you my bank Details later this morning.

I've PM'ed you about the money Tikay. Hopefully I've sent the correct amount through and not accidentally grimmed you!

I was hoping to update with a few interesting hands on day 2 but sadly nothing exciting seemed to happen for the 7-8 hours I was still in!

Ripple I still need your bank deets, will PM you now.

 Well played!.....thanks for the updates.

Will PM now.

Hi George,

Cash safely received, thank you.

That was fun, & we made a bit of money. Lovely.
