Nice work mate. Sounds like you had a ball too.

He did, beating me up all night! Hope you are well Phil, down for NFL this year?

Get it won, pleasure as always. I'm still 0/10 in hands won against you. Different class!

Tikay is on his 5th re entry. It was single re entry but the field all agreed they don't mind.

Haven't played poker in agessince this week but been enjoying a bit of zoom plo on stars this week with a small profit. Seriously tempted to crawl out of the woodwork and use it for a shot at tonight's game. Let me know if you're going and we can have that long overdue coffee and catch up beforehand x

Ha!

Might just do that. Claire, At-It-Bradley, what a line up. Make sure you wear some knickers though.

You play Zoom PLO? Good lord. For some reason that surprises me.

Thanks for the info. I'll see you there then, that'll do me. Hopefully I manage to get to the 5 card variant before I've used both entries...

Ian, Claire.

Will likely be there at about 6.30 PM for 7pm start.

Will NOT have my phone with me, battery dead, left the charger at work.

Am so totally gonna flick it in.

I'm not feeling too clever so going to be boring/sensible (delete as applicable) and stay home for an early night instead.  TIF MOF etc!

Lol. Now I've reversed back into dither mode myself.

I'm not the draw that Claire is, though I'll be there. Probably about the same sort of time (6:30ish) as I'm coming straight from work.

I'll buy you a coffee to seal the deal.

I'm considering the Omaha tonight, do you know stack stack/structure?

Can I reserve 10% please.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I made mistakes in both hands, generally being a bit aggressive when it isn't necessary. Hand 1 I check raise to 40k and end up getting it in with my draw vs KK. I should've thought it through a bit more, his bet on the flop was strong (especially with some of his history), so the likelihood of my bet getting through wasn't good and I should just take a card as he would struggle to fold I think. Hand 2 I don't mind my squeeze, but it is higher variance and I should probably just flat, even with the dynamics. Then calling against the clear aces was a bit gambly even with near enough the right price.

Hi,

The rules state that 'You never lose your golden Chip.' Unfortunately as you have made it through without a chip you cannot now buy into the promotion as it is for players that really have been playing the satellites for the last 3 months. Unfortunately by making your first entry Cash it cannot really be overridden.

No worries Glenn, I didn't really know how it worked so you've explained that now cheers.

written to the DTD Online team to ask them to confirm

Cheers Rich.

Hand 1 i'd probably call and try to realise equity 3way mostly because stack sizes are a little awkward. i.e. jamming feels too big/unbelievable, and if we're raising flop from 15k to say 40k then we have only ~55k to jam turn and villain/s are getting a great price on all fronts when our range is draws/sets only. Also the flop bet sizing from OR leads me to believe he could have a strong range here? It could be an ok spot to raise if despite this you think we can get him to fold as high as like JJ here and the BTN cause of the action/dwell never has a hand, but as i said stack sizes just feel a little awkward.

Calling 15k out of the stack just feels a bit ugly to me. If he bets between 5k-10k maybe, but once he has made it 15k I think it is raise or fold. If I just call and don't get their on the turn I'm unlikely to see the river. Should we just fold now on flop and wait for better spots? Or if we do that should we not be calling pre like greekstein said? Even if we did have a Queen AND a Ten of the same suit.

Hand 2 I think just calling is your only option.  Raising is very high variance as we'd have to fold to a further raise pre-flop which denies us the chance to take a really good nutty hand to a flop 4way with two perceivably weaker players in the hand, if we pot and get called by the first guy then everyone will call and there will be a psb back forcing us to jam and pray on most flops (fine in a 6m cash game, sits a lot worse with me in a FR tournament)

Obviously advantages to squeezing are we can win a very big pot, and we might be able to get AI vs the limper with a 15% overlay which is just about ok. We also might squeeze the good btn player out of the pot but to many ifs whathaves and buts for me I think calling is defo the best play.

Hand 1 could we r/f (like a semi bluff?)

Cheers Dave. I did raise pre, made it 13,000 to go as in this spot I just felt the button (good russian) was raising with any playable hand as limper was doing it too often to always have the goods. Fold from limper, fold from button and SB now decides to ship it in for about 30k more... Do we have to fold now, Ace is horrible in our hand as she has to have them, even if they are bad aces. Big pot that puts us in good shape for the rest of comp and near enough getting the right price. If we lose we have circa 20k and if we fold we have circa 50k. Is having 50k more important at this stage than having the 100k+?

If you wouldn't squeeze with this, what would you be squeezing with?

Hand 1, what size to we raise fold out of this stack though? If we raise as semi bluff we'd be getting a great price to call it off.

Can I win a golden chip and use it after I've already made day 2 (thin)? Sorry new to the golden chip rules.

I would imagine you would still have to play the golden chip and get through to day two with it...not just win a golden chip...if that's what you mean 

Yeah that is what I mean I'm through to day 2 with a decent stack, no point in playing again. Just wondered if it was worth me trying to win a golden chip, looks like a no.

Hand 1 I would fold pre.

Hand 2 I would call

Hand 1 - What are you calling with?

Hand 2 - What is minimum you call with and what do you raise with?
