I agree with wotrthwchances. Assuming he's not on some level, I think the hand is fine.

I also think there are too many people that want to ridicule Peter, and dissect any hand he plays, then disguise it as trying to help.

WP. I play exactly the same, didnt bother reading the big paragraph under it, but if you're trying to find ways of getting away/losing less in the hand then you're thinking into it way too much. IMO not betting any of the streets or even betting less at any point would be losing value in the long term.

In this comp you're going to get stationed down here by worse hand A LOT. Very few hands you lose to (64hh just shouldn't be a part of his range you should even consider tbh, don't know how he ever has that). You've flopped the joint... bet big big big, it's the way forward esp vs a villain who's already overlimped and peeled OOP.

This defiantly made me smile :-) Thanks :-D

Seems the consensus is around my bet sizing yeah...feels good that the major error is one like that and not like the 45o hand of before xD

Im thinking about the check behind on the river and possibly...but there's no straight, any full house would have made itself known (given who he is), so any raise on a street and everything plays totally differently...
Flop raise: I probably save at least one street
Turn raise: Probably sends me to the rail, seeing as i probably level myself into thinking i want to push him off a flush draw (im the worst)
River shove: Most likely find the fold...given the table dynamic...

Not sure i want to put this down to bad luck because its interesting to work out if the check on the river is optimal...not too sure

----------

Right, i'd been pretty active...I was very aware of that, and the cutoff had not been getting tricky (in fact very few people had) and had in fact been VERY face up, the two hands he had made monsters of had been raised in peoples faces, so him calling the flop roughly told me a decent equity hand, but not much past that, 10's down, suited connectors, that sort of thing....when the flop came down and i c-bet his call wasnt all that quick but he displayed no sign of weakness...im not putting him on 8's or a 10 because given how he's been playing they get stuck in my eye on the flop...I'd imagined either a pocket pair or a single eight...When the turn hits and i fire the second bullet im 100% confident im still ahead, but aware of the second heart im trying to price that kind of crap out (Was this enough to do that?), this time however he's staring me out...and i mean intensely staring me out, it struck me his hand was crap and he was just wondering if i had the ten...so im basically commiting to my read at this stage, most likely an 8 given how he calls the flop. He eventually dwell calls. When the river hits (Wrongly) im not too scared of the flush. Im fairly confident in the idea nobody on my table was loose enough to call the flop with nothing more than a backdoor, and if ive got him on the 8, he straight up can't have two hearts...that said his dwell-stare call made me feel a river bet gets called by worse almost all of the time given how active ive been...i thought the shove could put him off given that it was an effective all in for him (roughly the same starting stack)...the 8k was purely a value bet basically...

Now im probably the worst. And will likely get abused for this hand. But i had my reasoning behind it all...I just could not put him on the flush given how the hand went down, i didnt think he was that daft to call off on the flop. And i stand by the idea stronger hands on the flop would have made themselves aware...he had not demonstrated any way to be tricksy...

8 left

Jason Herbert, Guy Johnson, Paul Jackson, Paul Coughlan and James Williams have now won the £2,000 UKIPT Golden Chip packages

Well done to all 5, terrific


On a short break.

Jason, as we all know, dotes on his children, Three young sons. It also, as many of us know, hasn't been an easy time for Jason.

Before he left home this morning he handed the boys back to their Mum and the lads put a bag of balloons in his coat pocket and said "you can have those when you win Dad"

I'm stoked for him, genuinely.

Actually over the moon for him....ever a guy deserved it, it's him for sure.

Sorry tighty your updates must be miles away from accurate.  It sounded like herbie played a hand well, but obviously that can't be right....
Just.....This xD

Anyone want to guesstimate the Herbert stack?

Blue 100,000

Orange/Brown 25,000

Purple 5,000



Give it 4 hours and i reckon about 51million!

Yeah sorry Eso, was a little depressing how it ended up happening...fairly sure i played the key hand right apart from one street so will be uploading the hand on here when i get chance. I was paying serious attention to it as i didnt want to miss the opportunity, so there's alot of details on the players. Again wish i could have done better for us Sad

Just been catching up on this diary, I have few observations, but as I am on my phone can't come up with a post that will do it justice.  Enjoyable read so far!

think youd need to be dressed as blackadder whislt writing with quill and parchment to do some of this justice Wink

  stirthepot stirthepot

Think I have some of that in my wardrobe for the next final table....

Found a cure for tilt; just play flappy bird. Nothing will ever annoy you again anywhere near as much as that game.
