615k at the 3rd break. Nandos ordered already. Food o clock!

Any updates? Hand histories of interest?

Few fun ones...

Got to be careful though, there's this Tom High 'pro' guy sat next to me looking over my phone. Wouldn't want him to see my read on the dealer over my shoulder.

320k and change at the second break.

Sorry explain again where did he slow roll you?

In my opinion, on the turn with the nuts and a redraw, I deem an acting performance and taking over 30 seconds go put your chips in when there is only one player to act, who has already shown weakness - is very bad form.

Say nothing and put them in after a few seconds.  Had the player done that, 100% I wouldn't have said a word other than "sick hand, unlucky...."

Spinnup is alive, 145700 up from 50k starting at first break.

Won a couple of small one's since.

Going to call myself out for acting poorly after winning a huge pot earlier.


There's personal history with the villain/ victim, who is known to blonde but I don't think it matters who it is.
Hand
We have just over starting and in the sb with 66

Raise from UTG to 2k, call from player 1, call from player 2 otb, I call from sb, bb (victim) calls.

Flop
 

I check, bb checks, UTG checks, player 1 bets 4k, btn calls 4k, I call 4k, bb calls and UTG folds.

Turn
 
I check, bb check, player 1 checks, btn tanks then puts his chips all in for around 80% pot.
I take a few seconds then slide my chips in saying nothing.
Bb instantly huff's and puff''s,  saying "not this hand... I can't believe I've got this hand...". Takes maybe 20-30 seconds to make a decision then flings the chips in.
Player 1 snap folds in the face of 3 all ins.

Btn has A10o for an obviously tough decision with just top pair
My 2nd set looking decent considering the actions and words of bb

Bb has   - for current nuts, flush redraw and an in my opinion very dirty slow roll considering this player plays a lot, knows me and considering they are aware of poker etiquette I felt that this was a situation where you can pretend to justify it by saying "there's a player behind.." but considering that player has already checked this turn card, I can't imagine they have a hand they can play vs 3 all ins, ever.....

Anyways... River is   and I launch into a very ungentlemanly like statement about how it's poker justice and that they deserved it.  For a good couple of minutes.

This is something that I have only ever done a couple of times in poker and I think once is too many.
It was absolutely the heat of battle + late reg drive up here + slowroll + personal issues with this person that caused it.

The table had mixed feelings about the hand as some agreed the behaviour of the player was shocking, and others said that mine is not a justifiable retort.
There were even comments of "I've played with you before a few times and you've always been a perfect gent."



I quickly apologised to the table and continued on with my day.  So far, continued to build and going to forgive myself, forget about it, move on and make sure it doesn't happen again any time soon.

Was just typing that the lot had gone off forum, but happened at the same time as your post Adam.

To be fair to all,
Person 1 gets 10% (was first of everyone, wanted 10)
Persons 2 and 3 get 15% (wanted rest, messaged same time as you Adam)
Adam you get 10% (seems fairest way to solve the issue, still ok?)


That's us sold out everyone.

Thanks to all, pm's on the way.

I'll take 10% buddy. Have your bank details i think.

Booked

Many on here know me and my abilities, for those who dont here is a link to a package that I built and sold last summer.

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=65360.0

I am selling 50% of a £550 bullet @1.1, to be bought in at the start of day 2 as Dtd allow this to happen with a stack of 50bb's.
This is for 7th February (tomorrow)


The reason I haven't played a day 1 is due to family and life commitments.  The Sunday aspect of this has changed today and when coupled with the likely overlay it now seems more than worth my time and effort (27 people total registered or played so far with 1x day 1 left today).

I have a history of selling at 1.0 and other low markups, this 1.1 reflects and respects this, I always want buyers to be benefitting from me in the market.


50% @ 1.1 = £302.50
Minimum 5% pieces.

5% = £30.25
10% = £60.5
25% = £151.25

I will need to sell out to play.

Thanks for your time.

which was why i couldn't post the result on here, i don't know it

I didnt see the end result but heads up was Yian Lipperis and Raj Dhiri and our very own Verndog was 5th

I came 10th,
Verndog 5th and

Yiannis and Raj chopped hu for a decent number.

Busted

Jammed KQo for 12 bb over a CO open. He has AQ.

No sweat..  feeling frustrated but know I played my absolute A game today.

Sorry guys.

This guy really is going after me....
I'm managing to dodge him where I can, he's managed to check back a couple of times I had set him up for river check raises.


I had QQ vs K10 all in pre, comes 10xxKx that's a 30k pot gone.

Then I have 1010 vs the crazy guys 66 and someone else's 77 on 929J6 for 60 or 70k pot (avg 85k now).

We have 19k at 6/1200 and the only mistakes I think I've made have been a few river checks where I could have just gone for value.  I'm guessing everyone just had bottom of their ranges each time or decided not to bluff.

Still have bbs!

Still feel good and still feel like I'm playing well... but had a brutal hour.

There's this guy on my table who is playing very irrationally and I think I've picked up a few things on him.  I've played some hands really well vs him and avoided his big hands which made him angry, then he gets rivered in pot where he min raised flop oop vs another guy, the guy turns a monster draw and hits it...

He was fuming... then somehow my getting a massage and our previous pots meant that I now "have a problem in a minute mate".  I ask a floor to come over and find out if the guy is ok and he goes quiet.

He then chases me in every pot.... and proceeds to win some fun ones.

I had got up to 125kish at 300/600/75.

We first lose 910o vs his 89o when I 3bt pre on button vs another guy.  Then our man snap cold calls sb and flop 1097ccc
He check calls
Turn
Check, check,
River
Check check

Sigh.

Very next hand have A10dd vs his K4dd on K62dd7h7s and I triple barrell.

I then made a squeeze/ call with AJo vs the older tighter guy at the table while I was paying for a massage... there was a whole situation going on with changing money to pay her and I correctly deduced his tank shove to be a blowup.

We have AJo vs A4o and he doesn't make a pair or a straight...
River brings him an A flush vs my J flush.

We now have 70k which is average.

I'm going to need to get back to winning pots at some point if I want chips to come back my way....


Head down john.

I don't know what is going on at the moment but ive never played a couple of levels of tournament poker better than I just did.  Everything went perfectly apart from one river check raise where the guy didn't value bet so I couldn't make more from the nuts.

Value bets getting called, been right about peoples hands every time...

Just want to keep my head on straight and keep going.

Just over 90k at first break!
Table up the top next to cash desk for any who want to say hi... its 68 or something.

Actually all 20

Booked and we are out.

I'll keep it open until 1900 as I'm just arriving at dtd.

20% left..
