Tuesday is GUKPT on tele day! 12.45pm channel 4

[Dry em]

I was really surprised by Roberto's call of the re-raise with Ace Queen, I thought he should raise or fold. Hoss should be firing on any flop as well.

But they both had approx 1m in chips at that point, the 2 big stacks. It woulda been pretty horrible to find yourself commited to an all in pre with AQ

[Dry em]

please ditch the grounbreaking technology (see gukpt trailer) pokerscope, which is, to all intents and purposes a fkin bar chart.

Have to disagree, it's not the way it's displayed on screen that is supposed to be "revoltuiionary" it's the fact that they log every single hand at the final and can use the data in a variety of ways. I think the snippets that are shown are very interesting and certainly add something to the coverage

Anyone else surprised at how Elliott didn't smell a rat at all from Roberto's "have you got AK" talk?

tbh i wasnt that comfortable with it, but i was totally committed once i bet that flop, and if hes made a bad call pre and hit the perfect flop then its not my day

i liked how i was supposed to stack off in one of the first hands with 66 when we were both above average, commentary would have made it out to be an easy fold if hoss had TT im sure

Fair enough....yeh I did find it quite funny when they made out that all the chips were obviously going in...meanwhile you had already passed your hand lol

I don't think any of the options are particulary great. But I think calling is the worst of the three, independent of the opponent, unless he is very passive.

[action man]

I think for a high volume internet mtt'er the AQ is a standard 3 bet but roberto probably thought he could outplay hoss in position, using his table talk. They were both deep and i don't think the flat call is too bad. The check on the flop by hoss is far worse a play imo.

Yep...I was shouting at the telly....NOOOOO!!.....lol.

Passing has to be the worst...

yeah i thought some of the commentary was a bit blinkered, that 66 hand for sure & the one where they thought zach as the 2nd low man should virtually call all-in w AJ when low man smithey pushed from EP

[julian]

hey jim,
yeah i've kinda lost interest in updating the blog...not saying i won't update in the future but for now it's pretty dormant.
i write a short piece for hills after most big comps, so there are a few recent excursions mentioned on there.
cu at the vic in a fortnight i hope!

[RobS]

On again now......

[celtic]

strange 1st hand, QQ v 10 10 raise by michael, flat call with qq by hoss?? re raise surely 5 handed, missed opportunity to take michael out.

[Indestructable]

Agreed. I think Michael's verbals had him thinking and he just flat called, then the flop casued them both to slow down.
