Commentators Padraig Parkinson and Simon Trumper are getting comfy on their barstool type things.  They could have at least given them a sofa. 

Do you know who else might be stepping into the commentary box? Jesse May unavailable?

Thanks for doing the updates, Im at uni, and being a student dont have sky in my house! So am looking forward to reading about the hands. I spoke to Jon Wong earlier, he's excited about the game, and I think he's in for a good short, despite being just below average.

thanks alot Jenn on the Jon Wong update! He's got on TV before me, the little **** !!

How's Jonathan Wong doing Jenn?

Great updates. Mousier Wong is dj3way on ladbrokes. He goes to my uni, a good player - cocky sh*t though!

excellent stuff paul! you really are an awesome player, proved it online,and I hope this furthers your offline ambitions

excellent work with the updates guys, it looks a very interesting final 9!

The idea of betting $2k on the turn, and then folding to a raise, also means Im folding $2k into what is going to be around $13k at the time, so Im getting 6.5-1 on my money if my KK is good.

I like my bet on the flop, but I think I should have dumped the hand on the turn, when I was called I knew I was beat, but I could have probbably known this without betting the $4k.

Alot easier in hindsight, it's ok play to make in a multi tournament, cash game not so sensible, hopefully Ive learnt a lesson from it anyway.

I grabbed my balls and moved all in. Just because I couldnt figure out a bet where I can look strong, but fold to a raise really.

Anyway they both called!

One with 77 (the first caller), the other with 46s (straigfht draw)

the $15k pot went to the set of 7's

So you think the choice is to crap or bust then? You know who you are up against are they "at it" or solid. What about the option of calling it down? Puting a Grand in doesn't seem all that weak to me.

$1k into $4k, seems fairly weak to me. Both of the players are well established online pro's on ladbrokes.

Ive suffered from this, after long sessions. I like to take a few days off and head out with friends etc.
I only seem to get poker burnout when Im losing though!

For the introverted people, trips to the cinema, etc.. all work Im sure.

I think u would be re-raised if either had a set, u may be looking at TT or QQ but most likely AJ & AK.

I certainly think that the 2nd player would have raised with a set after a flat call.

A Set?

Do you automatically have to assume this and dump the KK? or Can you bet and see where you are? Any bet here is going to look weak apart from an all in.

$15/$30 cash game (6 handed table). You sat with $2k, and are now upto $5.5k

You're in the sb, with KK, one fella raises to $90 (he had $5k) from 1st position, one call (he's on tilt and has reloaded for another $3k), and you raise it upto $320, they both call.

Flop: ,7h,5d

You bet $1k, and they both call.

Turn .

What do u do here, considering there is $4k in the pot on the turn, and u have $4k left, what do u bet? And what do u put your opponents on?

Im not a fan of advocating americans, for me I find them the best to play. However getting busted deep into the $500k guaranteed tourn on party the other night, with some guy calling a raise pre-flop with 77, and moving in on the 9,9,2 flop and rivering my JJ, that was slightly annoying! I had already spent the $100k in my head!

cheers, good to be here, duno how I havent come across this forum before, it's excellent!
