With the deepstack being called of that month have been thinking of playing this, but still unable to find some relevant information.

- Starting stack?
- How long are blinds?
- How many days (think I might have seen this, but may have forgot)
- Prediction of pot? Someone said to me they may get £750k, but it is impossible.
Structure etc is posted on UKIPT site and I think they are expecting over 1k runners?

The structure isn't posted on the UKIPT website, just tells you levels. It doesn't mention how long the levels are or perhaps how many runners they are expecting, pretty poor really.

Not to mention there is supposed to be a cap on number of players, but yet there was more than that cap last year....
3572  Community Forums / The Lounge / Work placement on: March 06, 2012, 12:36:35 PM
Later on this year I start work placement and unfortauntely I haven't done much to help me find somewhere decent or anywhere at all for that matter. I've had a look through Uni and numerous other sources for decent placements that would actually interest me, but nothing.

I am obviously a poker enthusiast and would love to be working with something to do with that, but emailed lots of poker companies and card rooms (inc Pokerstars and DTD) and they don't have anything going. I was trying to think out of the box, rather than battle with 200 more students for one place at a company.

I've looked through these placements available and I don't want an office 9-5 job, just want something hands on and ya know, exciting a little more different, so do any of you know about any decent companies with placements going? I am studying Business, so anything in that profession should help, I am obviously not looking to be a mechanic or anything like that.

Any out of the box suggestions also helpful Smiley

The tournament is totally fine as it is and are the satillites excessive? I don't think so.

Any clue why they took the 25/50 level out? I asked the dealer and it went in through one ear and straight out the other...

cos u get 30k in chips and it's not needed

Sorry, but for £560 you want plenty of play and I don't feel that 30k is too much at all. Just perfect.
3576  Poker Forums / Poker Hand Analysis / Nuts on the turn on: March 06, 2012, 12:50:20 AM
I think at this point the blinds was 150/300 and I was sat in the SB.

My Hand: QK (not suited)

2 seats on from the BB raises to 650 and there is one caller before me and I call and so does the BB.

FLOP: 10-J-3 (all different suits)

I check and it also gets checked round.

Turn: 9 (4 different suits on board)

I decide to overbet and make it look like a pinch and bet something like 2,000, BB folds, OR folds, then the guy who has just limped in re-raises me to about 6ish. So I look at the board and think well this is very dry, if he is bluffing and I re-raise  am not going to get paid, so I just flat call. We have have about 15k in chips left (he has me covered by just a little)

River: 10

I check to him and I was still very confident I was in front and even though it wasn't the best card in the deck, I was still confident. He bets 11k and I go all in, he instant calls and shows 99, obviously a full house.

Questions to be asked....?

- Should I have made numbers up in SB with QK?
- Should I have re-raises turn?
- Should I have bet flop?

My analysis on this is that I played it all wrong. I think I should have bet the flop, but I still perhaps think he would have called and re-raise on turn, he would have called too.

Help?

I'm very glad that Rob has come out with intent straight away after quite a few questions, but rather gutted about no deepstack in April. I think people who choose to play the DS may or may not turn to the UKIPT, not sure if I will or not. I only choose to play one big tourney a month (fully out of my own pocket) and I think paying an extra £200 may just make me miss playing a biggie in April.

I might have to see what the sats are like on Stars when I have time, see if I can pinch a seat. People saying the UKIPT might get £750,000. SO when it actually does come round, I might just give in anyway.

But great stuff by DTD all round.

Site is down, obvious site isn't on a good enough server able to fulfill the traffic.

I've decided I am going to play this later.

Win £80k, then spin it up on a 12/1 shot...

....Rodders, we'll be millionaires!

Charlton are out of sight and I don't think anyone is catching United either.

Although United in my view have a lot tougher fixtures than Wednesday, so I still think we have a little chance of sneaking 2nd. United still have to play Stevenage & MK away from home, whilst Wednesday only have to play Hudds, whilst Hudds have to play Charlton and Wednesday.

I do think that it will be Charlton and United though.

Also, people say PO's are a lottery, but I think Hudds and Wednesday are both a lot better than Stevenage and MK. Even though Wednesday did lose to Stevenage twice! But we most definitely outplayed MK both times.

GET IN!

If we can't build on tis now, then we deserve to stay in this crappy league.

Yup I know what you mean with the Hull thing. They are the kind of team who can get 1-0's.

I was listening to one of experts on either SSN or BBC saying how amazed they was Hull had scored 3!
3584  Poker Forums / Diaries and Blogs / Re: "The Downswings of Property and Poker" on: February 20, 2012, 03:16:48 PM
I LOL'D at the Hull thing.

It seems daft that you don't expect a team in the top 6 to score 3 against one of the worst teams in the division!!! I didn't expect it either!!!

SICKOS!

There must be something up with the Football League if they don't get a 30 point deduction, because what the football league is generally saying is that it's ok to go into admin as many times as you want.

I feel sorry for the Pompey fans because they are a good bunch, but the best thing they can d is get a fan group to buy the club out, instead of this crap.

I'm a Sheff Wed fan and it's just a joke to see all this happen, I remember the Crystal Palace story too well.
