Title: 888 Live London Festival- 22 November-02 December 2018
Post by: UgotNuts on October 26, 2018, 12:55:49 PM
Hey Blonde,

So after having some feedback from the community I have decided to split up the three tournaments into separate staking events.

For those who don't know me I've had a pretty good year playing tournaments. Stats currently standing at 21 tournaments between £100 and £1100 and have made 8 final tables, cashed 16 times and have taken a couple down.I have also played a bunch of cash games throughout the year and show a nice profit on that front. having sold action twice on blonde this year I currently have a 50% return rate having cashed the £550 Millions Finale last month. Ive spent a fair amount of time studying the game and fixing leaks and have taken the emotion (No tilt) out of my game.

888 Live London Festival. Dates 22nd November- 02 December 2018.
Open event: £220 (Two bullets, one per flight) (88K Prize pool)
Main Event: £1100 (One bullet) (400K prize pool)

Total: £1540

I will keep it the same as before as sell up to 40%. Action sold at @ 2.5% with no maximum.

2.5% for £38.5
5% for £77
10% for £154

Any questions please let me know. Thank you for your support and I hope to get a nice return on your investment.

Shane

Busted J10 out of the BB. Button opens we call flop KJJ flop Check check. Turn 10. We bet small to induce a bluff. Get shoved on and call it off. He has KK. Second bullet tomorrow evening. Sorry guys.

Not much you can do about that one.

No worries, gl with Bullet # 2.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates I was using my breaks to meditate and refocus. Had a pretty tough table compared to the field for a Friday night leg. Was pretty much card dead the whole night, got a lucky triple up when I found Queens in the small blind vs a cut off open, I flat as the cut off has been pretty active, the BB the squezes to 11 BB, cut off jams and we call, BB then uses 2 time banks before making the call. They both had AK and we fade 4 outs for a much needed chip up at the start of level 7. Next three levels I was forced to open fold hands like KQ, QJ, A10 as I was getting 3 bet then 4 bet jammed each and every time. From levels 7-10 I went from above average to 15 BB due to getting in these annoying spots. A few shoves got called by the 3 better and they always had me crushed (I did feel like getting stubborn and gambling after the third spot, and happy I maintained control).

At the end of level 12 I shoved the cut off with AQ suited for 12BB got called by a middle stack with K10. K high flop and we don’t improve and the dream is over.

On to the main event next week. It’s a good mix of players getting involved in this. Hope for some better timing in the main.

As always thank you for your support guys. Hopefully we take down the main!!

Good report, thanks. It's a pain when we don't get the breaks. Nature of the beast sometimes/usually.

Sorry- I’ll make sure I get some updates in the breaks of the main next week. I may have to change the starting day I play but I’ll confirm early next week .

No no no.....

Might be a misunderstando here but.....

It's a pain when we don't get the breaks


Referred to not getting lucky when we need to, not Tournament Breaks during which you can have a wee and give us Updates.

No complaints here at all.

Unlucky Shane all the best for the rest of the games.

I wouldn't worry about reports during the game, a quick summary afterwards is ideal.

Hey Guys,

Played last night day one C and busted on level 9. I’ve just woke up as I decided to play cash after and ended up losing 2 buy ins playing 1/2/4 so basically lost another buy in...

I will be writing a full report over the weekend for you guys.

Really wanted to get a return for all of you investors this close to Xmas. The next requvilant buy in I play I’ll be giving you action for free based on the percentage brought in this one.

Thanks again for your support.

Shane

Hey Shane,

Thanks for letting us know, gg and all the best for your next games.

You talk about giving action for free, or a free percentage based on this stake. If you have busted all games from op then that is an end of the stake so I would not want a free percentage, that is your money.

Hey Shipit

I was going to give everyone the same percentage in the next 1K I play, Kinda as a thank you for the support over the year.

I think this will be the UK poker championships in February.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the lack of a report following the 888 Event. I had the worst kind of phone call last week that my kids and their mother had been involved in a car crash. Thankfully they are all still with us. Their mum was in bad shape, a broken right leg and two fractured ribs. Kids fully secured in their car seats have no broken bones and walked away with muscle pain on the shoulders and neck. I have been looking after them all this week and my mind has been on them.

I just wanted to let you all know there was a good reason for this.

I will be playing the Genting Poker tour grand final next week and one side event as Zara (Kids mother) will have her mum over that week to help out. I will add a new staking thread for this.

Sorry again for not reporting as I would have liked to.

Thanks again for your support.

Shane
