Fantastic effort at the G last night. . . . . .

Decided to gift celtic my chips in a "if i take the chance and win ill win the tournament but i dont want to have to play at only 2 x the chip average" move or be here until 2 and bubble again.

  board - Celtic shoves his fishy Ace-King after the flop - I make the perfect call with  and am left with little remaining

I have never cashed when im due to fly out the next morning on the 0655 and the hour drive home usually means i start to get a bit stressed and take all draws on - guess the never cashing record i will keep now but i just hope those chips made the money after such a soft call.

Good week - Bad Play Night

Trying out the new name - seems to work - cheers celtic.....

lmao at a post tourney rub down chomps

BIG welcome to Mr Hellmuth!

PLEASE change your alias to "Hellmuth" - we've called you that (& far worse) for a long time. "Twerp" is a nick which is reserved for someone else, to be honest.

Good to see you here, & ul with that "Move of the Century" (the -9 v -Q affair) by Hameed.

Should you need advice on dancing & stuff, Chomps & Sicilidonk are your men. Advice on nursing 3 x BB & on cashing consistently, I'm your man.

Happy to change the name but is there a way to do that?? If so can someone send instructions?

That way you can all keep calling me Hellmuth.

As for the worse  - I bring it on myself somedays and have had it for some time :-)

Sigh, it was Level 19 stuff.

Rised with 78. Twerpers called in the BB.
Flop 3 10 Q. Check bet call.
Turn 5. Check bet call.
River 4. Check all-in. Call. With KQ!

KQ! The same hand TV's Tikay opened shoved 12x with at the final table. That's 12x, not 1.2x!

Tonight's much-in-demand £10 rebuy attracted a field of...

Any guesses?

This hand really helped my tourney :-)

Was in the BB and I think I should probably play this even out of position against the amount of Chompy raises i had observed in the last hour and how tight i was playing that night.

Q high and 2 clubs from what I remember, I thought it was a 6 and a 3 on the flop but really could be very wrong there

I was trying to control the pot and keep it small while out of posiiton so checked. You bet out what i though seemed to be a quite honest bet. So though my kicker was good but didnt want to go big with one pair against another large stack.

Turn brought the third club (10 i thought) which i though if i had just hit the flush i 60 % check here so that seemed correct. But with a redraw to the Queen flush and top pair it seemed i should still be good. I honestly was not sure you bet here - I thought you checked behind. but could also be wrong there

Then the river i thought was  a brick maybe the straight was possible but after i check i dont think you can shove the straight in case i have the flush - which is definately close to my possible hands.

That and the famous hellmuth read meant i had to call the shove. All that said it is probably chompy out of all the luton players i struggle most with when im not setting about blowing a huge stack by making slim calls with marginal hands (Just like the real Phil)

I dont think the play is bad by chompy though as i am unlikey to call off my tournament here and i have played the hand very passively. For myself I think the right river play following my earlier play is the check call.

Sadly did not make it up today as the rain was pouring when i was about to start the 40 mile drive - i decided to play maidenhead but that went quite well once i settled and played sensible in the cash.

But near cert for wednesday night

Hi All

Hellmuth Jr Jr here ;-) - Though i may lose that title one day if i start winning comps and playing \ll night with no headphones or sunglasses. . . . . .

Just wanted to say I really enjoyed playing last night - The vast majority of people in the luton cardroom are very funny people who enjoy playing poker and are capable of amusing conversation.

It was a very friendly evening apart from Nirvana's red ragging to start the car park wars. Which made our table very uncomfortable / entertaining for some time after.

Enjoyed it so much I may come play the tourney later tonight - rather than my usual monday games.

Was devestated by the AQ vs A9 - mainly cos i did consider folding but then i got the tell before he binked. Wasnt to be but id take the spot every time.

When i raised the legend "Player X" with the SF it was to around 14K after his 4K bet. But he told me i had the SF on the turn  then i laughed and he still bet in - lol - I will never min raise. Hellnuth Snr says not to.

And to Sicillian - That river bet was a value bet in my mind i was betting second pair as I felt i was ahead more than behind - Doh!!!

Anyway - If i make it tonight see yall there
