Lol how good does Ash run in these DTD events, glglgl mate

Lol, he's a sick guy.

Nice updates Kev, appreciate your hard work!

Can you get some updates on Ash Mason when you get a chance?

Best player left in the comp imo.

Definitely a decent player, and hope he takes this one down.

Nice updates Kev, appreciate your hard work!

Keep going Ash! I hope our 5% from last time has continued over

Would like to see Cos, Ash Mason and Matthew Lewis do well in this one!

Good Luck!!!

347 players and £4,072.

I wish I would get breathalysed everytime I play Poker.... So many drunk sessions, it's not even funny anymore.

Are u sure Sunny is out? If so the live feed is not 'live'

Yep, I was out when Mr Raab declared. Was short stack, only had one move. I got away with a few all in's, before running into Constantine's mighty QJ off.

Thanks for all the support though guys, appreciate it! Glad I cashed, dissapointed didn't make the final though! £187k pay day, could have been sweet.....

Well Played James - Best of luck in November!

Ivey vs James Heads up would be nice..

Lol, was thinking this very idea a while back. Just don't think the dragon's will go for it though. There was a similar pitch earlier, when a young race driver wanted funding for racing, and he was willing to give a percentage away for every race he competed in for a large number of years. Can't remember if he got the funding though, don't think he did.

Don't hold out for £6k, you should get the whole £8k.

If it went the other way, and he didn't win or cash in the tourney, he wasn't going to offer you anything back, was he?

Also, check your PM.

WP Cos... nice result!

165,000

[but I reckon you could have dominated that table]

Ok, would like opinions on a few deal situations that occured this weekend...

Comp is a £550 affair, 95 runners, 10 paid. There are 13 left, have been for the last hour. I'm probably 8/13. A deal is proposed by the other table remaining to take £500 off the top three spots (16.5/8.5/6.2) and pay 11th-13th to help speed things up. Given my current position i have no problem with this, however i know for a fact that on the table that has proposed the deal a friend of mine is sitting there with <3bbs. The table obv haven't taken note of this,i have. He's staying quiet as a mouse, so did I. Should I?

Later on, same comp. When six handed we had smoothed the payout structure to the following. 1st: 14,000, 2nd 7980, 3rd-6th 4500. We're 4 handed at 10k/20k/2k. 1.4mil total in play. In 15 mins blinds will go 20/40/4k. I have 290k and am 3/4, it's obv that the other three want to deal and not play it out. I feel i'm the best player at the table although i've got the 2nd best player and big stack to my left. There is approx £31k in the pot left to play for, we're now kinda playing a satellite. If we deal right  now i guess i'd get 7k, if i bust i get 4.5k. If i can double through i can either leverage a good deal for around 10k of the prize pool that will remain or play it out and go ftw. I thought the best way to play this (allbeit with <15bbs) was to try and increase my stack in the last 15 mins of this level to try and either get it 3 handed or at least improve my stack to get a better deal, as if we were still four handed at 20k/40k it'd been stupid and i'd have been forced to deal regardless of my stack.

Thoughts please.

You're guaranteed £4.5k, and if you do a deal, you're probably getting £7k. If I was in your position, and I wanted to continue at that point on, and I doubled up, I would just go for the win. I don't think I would risk going for the double up, and once I have it, accept a deal. So it's either deal now, or go for the win. Also, I am probably looking at this focussing too much on the remaining players, but I reckon you could have dominated that table. (Hopes we are talking about the same tournament...)

Do you really think so?

I have no idea who any of the 4 players were but if you put Phil Ivey against 3 numptys he's going to struggle to dominate with these blinds.

There's only 70 bbs in play between 4 players. In 15 minutes they're on an average of <10bbs each.

Any edge is almost completely wiped out so it's down to whether you fancy a gamble.

I watched around about 40 mins to an hour or so (Was drinking/come back from some bars, so was a bit off it) just before the deal happened between 3 of them, and it appeared as if some of them were playing with scared money. OK, I know that the difference between £16k and £4.5k is pretty huge, but I reckon atleast 2 of the guys were just sitting their waiting for hands or atleast mediocre Ace's. With the blinds being so huge relative to chip stacks, it obviously would have been difficult, but I reckon there was some scope for some bullying!

Anyways, well played to get so far anyways Dino, gutted you didn't win!
