to not mither me about something trivial when I am playing a massive pot.

I think from memory that Brighton has been in January too.  Though they did run it a warmer time of the year in the first season and it was very difficult to get a hotel room anywhere.  I know I paid an extortionate price for a terrible room at the time. 

Though hard to imagine Ramsgate ever gets busy anymore.

I am playing this.

I think it will definitely struggle a bit.  The WSOPE and EPT events must have made a serious dent in some people's bankrolls.  There seems to have been a serious glut of £1K+ events in London.  At the EPT alone I could have happily played a £1K full ring, 6 max and omaha one, but decided to stick to just the one.

But this is near London and still cheaper than the grand final, so I will be there.

I called which I think was an error, and probably thought so at the time if I was honest.  But it was hard to say goodbye to $360.  I did a similar one last month at $2.5/$5 and managed to fold that. 

I did think at the time that the raise was small enough to give me the implied odds, but there isn't much time to think.  If he wasn't taking advantage of my misclick, his looked like a big pair and if an ace comes it will only take one more decent bet from him to give me the implied odds, and he is possibly aggro enough to go bust on an ace high flop?  I seriously thought about running with it and pushing, but was sure he'd have noticed the insta minreraise on the flop, so didn't

As it was, I binked a 2 diamond flop to get all in with and binked another on the turn.  He had QQ, so he obviously wasn't thinking 4th level with my instaminreraise, and maybe he didn't notice and I could have got away with the push!  Think it is easily my most profitable misclick for a while, if not ever.

I think it was probably still a fold anyway.

And it isn't where I normally play, Alex, cypriots innit.  This is the Dutch Raelll, not the nitty Rael or the imposter rea1 (though possibly only Alex will get this). And surely nobody folds this on the button 6 handed?

I should add that the $10/$20 6 handed game on betfair plays borderline spewy, with lots of 3 betting pretty light.   The standard is to 3 bet or fold and there isn't much cold calling of raises.

Oppo is decent 20/16 reg.

I am probably playing looser than TAG today as I have position on the poorest player.

Is this an easy fold, or do I need to take into account that he will have seen my min reraise was insta.

I made it to the end of day 1 on 86.3K.  It would have been about 150K and aongst the leaders, if I didn't lose a 65k pot to Mr "My fold button is broken (familiar to all internet poker players) when his 99 hit the third 9 on the turn vs my AA which was all in pre flop.  But to be fair I have survived acouple of hairy moments earlier in the day, and if someone had offered me 86K at the start of the day, I would have snapped their hands off. 

Cheers all
