Registered and busted the 777 already.

Played a couple of small pots, then had 22 vs KQo aipf there are a few limps from some old guys and an iso from the young guy button with headphones and hoody and good sizing's.

He tanks off KQ and we can't hold through the first card.  Turned a flush draw that wasn't good...

One more left! Aria main event round 2 it is!!!

Paul McTaggart still in little one for one drop with 12 left....

Let's get a blonde rail!!!!

Only had 20k left after that... lost a small one with 33 vs KJo then ran A9o into AA with 18bb.

Lost a gross one with 22 vs 910ss on 246ss.

We opened pre and when 4 way checked after BB, check behind and button bet/jams 30k when I check raise small.

Got another bounty.... One more for a freeroll.

Had AA otb and a "fantasy draft" player - Josh Brikis opens to 1000, I 3bt to 2700, flatted by chatty IT chip leader guy and then Josh tank shoves AQo.

No sweat and we are on the way up.
-------------------------------------

God mode truly enabled, winning 3 pots an orbit and up to 65k-ish.


Got a new guy at the table who has similar stack... 

Just bricked Jh8h on A102r Khh somehow!

Won one of those bounty thingies....

Had QQ in bb when CO shoves K9o.

We held on 9xxxJ

28300 at 2/400/50. Average is 26k.

First hand we play is a fun one....

Raise from mid position from a guy who has played half the pots in the last orbit.  We find  and jam out 20bb.

Sb wakes up with AKo and calls, OR snap folds.

Runs out
Q85

Gg winning this one mate,

Double up!!!!

I understood and agreed with the comments for and against...

Fraser has put his foot down and I hope he's right. It's dinner break so our first hand will be in another hour or so.

This would be a sick one to do well in with this start.....

Was too late for the Rio deepstack, so I've had some food and currently sat on cash.

What do the actual backers think about the bounty??

Pads has said no
Fraser says yes
I'm easy for either....

Everyone else?

My suggestion is that we don't play the bounty because late regging does seem counter intuitive.  However I think a rio deepstack is going to be fine to late reg a couple of levels in....

So I'm planning on jumping in that in a few mins.  If anyone doesn't want it then their action can be taken out.

Just post on here or PM.

Play my hands and positions as well as I think I could have..

Lost Q10cc btn vs Fatima De melo Q5o on Q82r for a small pot early on.

Folded 77 utg with 20bb
Got AKo through pre with 10bb and then jammed 77 for 10bb over an open from table chip leader young guy MP.  He calls and has 88 and out suits covered.  We make a flush as well..... ((((

Only missed one spot where I could've jammed J2cc bvb when I had 14bb. Turns out he has 25o but think I get called a lot there.

Best of luck today

I'm not 100% sure on what the bounty is in the bounty event, I think 500? But the bigger it is the more significant.

If the worst happens and you do bust the One Drop I wouldn't register it too late, a lot of your "EV" comes from winning bounties, and you can play lots of hands if you cover the table because you can always threaten their stacks. Registering and not covering anyone is a bad spot to be in which is a shame as I know how much you like to overbet any turn or any river if you can find an excuse .

Just make day 3 and don't worry about that

Fair point..

Ive wanted to play the bounty event since before the series but can't be upset about that when I'm busy making day 3 of the one drop.

If I bust... I'll see how I feel and how late it is.  I agree being able to cover everyone in each hand is definitely key.

We have Dominic Panka on our table.. he has 80bb. Right then.....

Huge chance here mate. A game

Thanks bro, just going to keep grinding... no sillyness and try to dodge the flips.

Really patted myself on the back for not doing anything silly yesterday after the 77 mistake, we went down to 22bb after that and grinded a couple of hours without spewing or making any silly shoves.

What did u call you with when you bluffed it off?

the guy called with  99

pretty horrible call form him when the backdoor rolls in and he blocks so many of your bluffs.

gl john, they dont fold!

Yeah thanks mate... I thought my showing down multiple winning suited connectors hands was going to be enough to get credit for a 7.
apparently not.

One drop?

Played one drop 10am today and made day 2 with 43k, going back to 500/1000/100, plenty!

Had a really good table today for first half and did well first few hours then had a slightly older pretty aggressive guy who managed to dodge when I had big hands/draws and to own me when I had A high with check raises and suchlike.
I didn't blow, instead I trapped him with my KK and got my chips back and then got on a roll.

The table changed so much today and took a lot of adjusting... There were times I was raising 4 pots an orbit then times I didn't open anything other than 99+/AQo+ because of the aggression coming back to me.

Really feel like I went through the gears very necessarily so and tried to target the right people with my aggression and my post flop attempts.

Toward the end of the day my table became incredibly tough... Artur Corren (spelling) on my direct left and a high stakes reg he knew two to his left with a competent reg in between.... - zero room to manoeuvre.

I made a misread to cost me some chips at one point... The guy was bluffing.... but with a hand better than my 77's.

I managed to find a few premium hands but couldn't get people to put in QQ pre when I have AA.. he flats and it comes Axx.... can't win more.
I also avoided a couple of flips with pairs IP to AK and managed to slowly chip back up.

We won a key flip with AK vs JJ aipf, with 99 already calling us but folding to JJ jam. 3 way up!!!!!!

Happy with today's play and although my stack feels tiny, it's 43bb..... Let's go!!!

Didn't get time to get down there...

Deals been done and Ryans locked up a good one considering he was shortest.

I'll let him comment when he's finished with all the tax mess.
