Deadman obv using my chips wisely

Got a lift from Sean to KFC on day 1a dinner break so have to root for him

Gl as well to Jack and Dan

The worst thing about the annual debate/controversy about men entering the ladies event is that the people who claim to be taking the moral high ground also feel the need to humiliate and ridicule those men that do enter.

Why shouldn't they? Seems like the most appropriate response.

Obviously because by acting in this manner (for example the behaviour of the wsop floorstaff when a man made the FT last year) they lose the moral highground which they seem to think is so important in this 'issue'

what a boss

Prior to the tournament our hero wasnt too excited about his trip to the glourious destination of amneville

Ben Dobson ‏ @f3nix35
I'm off to France in 3 hours for FPS Amneville kinda regretting winning a seat now, should have checked the dates, gonna miss some scoop now

It seems to have worked out ok for him though

what a boss

[Get it won for England boys!]

Go Rupert and David. Met them both yesterday, seemed like top lads. Get it won for England boys!

Pretty sure this will be Vampy's main concern tbh

Without knowing how these people are playing, You probably win chips in the long run calling but lose money in the long-run calling due to icm. A lot of people don't have minraise/folding range with 15bb and there's always value in laddering ;-)

yeah we dont know the 4th stacksize or the payout structure but ICM is going to have significant effects in a spot like this

gl in walsall today mate

probs just fold, you can assume a random isnt going to turn hands into bluffs here very much and as his sizing is pretty big, board has both and A and K on it, etc.

obv its very dependent on the tendencies of the villain and of course his ability to hand read since your hand is pretty faceup by the river 

no need to be balanced vs a random in the 20c

so just check back flop, bet safe turns, eval river

on this specific turn check

think jamming pre loses way too much value with 28bb when people are going to peel 3 bets as wide as they are want to do

fold>call>3 bet/call

although that order can def change with more history

cant imagine doing anything other than flatting

From the perspective of someone who got pretty deep yesterday I think it's inevitable that the structure will get shallow, i think i had between 10-20bb from 2pm-8pm, but thats he likelihood given the 40 minute levels, obviously there are key levels skipped pretty deep in the tourney (2.5/5k and 25/50k being the obvious ones to add), it could also be worth playig an extra couple of levels on day 1, beyond these small things I am no sure there is much that can be done and still have the tournament over in 2 days

And it seems to me that the fact that its a 2 day tournament and hence the ability to play it without missing work is a big factor in attracting the recreational players that everyone wants in the field (along with awesome guarantees that get people like myself willing to come down from Glasgow and fire multiple bullets!)

Anyway just wanted to add my thoughts, this was my first time at dtd and I was very impressed with the tourney in general and will def be back but it would be great if the average was an extra 10bb deep when it got down to the point of he tournament that really matters.

Getting 19th sure wasn't fun,

great updates as usual guys
