Good guy, solid game selection - well done Andrew!

Agree with jables' post

Oioi Jables20 is a massive hero. Welcome to blonde met(Edit-I mean post more).

<3 cheers mate. i intend to

Sorry yes, re shoving not calling. That range seems more or less what I'd do too so! Just threw in A2s and A3s as well.

its kind of irrelevant as he has to call it off to any shove behind anyway

I don't mind calling if we call with AA when deeper (or exposed to deeper behind) as it can induce later

I'm not sure if it is that irrelevant. With these exact stack sizes is it better to call/call or reshove this range? Bearing in mind that with this SB range as a whole we're happy when the BB folds. If calling looks stronger in that it implies that you're a lot more nutted than A4s, maybe that makes call/call better? Might get a few more folds from 77/88/AJo with flats.

Est his range to be this sort of thing 22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q2s+,J5s+,T6s+,95s+,85s+,74s+,64s+,54s,A2o+,K2o+,Q7o+,J7o+,T8o+,98o,87o

we're calling 11.5bbs to win 12+0.5+1+1 so 14.5 so we need 44.2% equity to b/e.

BB calls behind with 99+AJ+ ish (5%) so considering that and preserving stack etc, we'd rather have about 50% equity.

Which means we should call roughly: 33, A2s, A5o, K9o, K7s, QJo, QTs.

Seems on the lose side, but would only slice one/two hands of each group in game.

I called A3s and it felt looseish. Wouldn't have called K9s or A6o though.

Is that range the one you would be shoving in his shoes ie the one that he 'should' be shoving? in my limited experience it's remarkable how often we run into the 'top of his range' simply because he never shoves the 50% at the bottom of it.

It's wider than the range you should or I would be shoving, but this guy is overly aggro so i thought he would shove slightly wider.

and yes there's antes, which are including in the calculations. no antes, and we should call quite a bit tighter.

Isn't it better to reshove than call or is that implied? In this hand I would reshove 33+,A4s+,KTs+,QJs,A7o+,KJo+ which is a little tight vs your estimated shoving range for the BU, but then we're relying on BB to call off only 5% and BU shoving hands like T6s, T8o, J5s.

I have a sort of (admittedly daft) vision that Online Poker would do better (more players, so good for all of us, both sides of the table) if we could reduce this sort of nonsense. But first we have to understand it.

This sort of language is pretty rotten and clearly designed to be as offensive and malicious as possible, but you have to be fist pumping if you're in a game where this sort of stuff is going off in the chat surely?
If you subscribe to the view that good grinders hardly ever use use the chat box then these guys must be the absolute worst. Personally I'd be against any action that discouraged these people from playing.
You have to develop a pretty thick skin about a lot of things in poker and I think this is one of the easiest things not to tilt about.

It sucks for the guy ITT who's mum was put off online poker because of weak minded people in the chat box. She should rest assured that her profits in the game will come from people with a range of different weaknesses, some of whom like to wave a big white banner in the chat just in case you don't spot them right away. I'd advise her to turn the chat box off. She shouldn't have to, but the game would be tougher if these people weren't playing.

Ok, submitting a team.

I'm the captain (Jamie Sykes) of Pleno, Oscar Bergling and the one and only Jamie Burland.

Together, we are "4guys1cup".

Have updated OP with the team bonuses and the rules on re-entry.

Have slightly altered the scoring system Yian suggested into bonus points rather than 'doubling'. Hopefully these are fair, feedback welcome of course.

Will get the terms set in stone ASAP so Dubai can run a book.

Just to be clear, IF ONE OF YOUR TEAM IS PLAYING THE ONLINE LEG, IT MUST BE DECLARED ON THIS THREAD. Ill send a reminder to captains when I send payment info PM's out.

Cheers.

I'm going to play the online leg, EarlofLemongrab on DTD

I shall flick it in.

Going to be the toughest tourny running in stars imo

Don't worry, the value has arrived
