Indeed at the moment the majority of pots consist of raises preflop, followed by folds. It's a tight, cagey affair. The players are like tigers prowling round each other, occasionally giving off the odd snarl or lashing out with a claw, such as when Joe check raised Rob's continuation bet but in general they are all showing each other a lot of respect at the moment.

It may take big hands to knock heads before we see some major action. 

Floppy will be getting some chips counts before too long to give you a picture of how things stand. As it is though there have not been too many major fluctations in stack sizes just yet.....

Dena (stuck on train to Blackpool reading updates but unable to post) says to pass on her best wishes to her godfather, Bambos, plus good luck to Matt, Roland, Joe and generally everyone. If she was there dealing this would all be done and dusted by now with her black widow killing abilities!!

Does she not realise I'm down in here in London... on my own.

Bambos limps from the cut-off, Rob Akery announces "30k more" from the small blind and Roland immediately moves all-in from the big.

Bambos passes, "Now would've have been a good time to slowplay Aces," Roland says to him. Bambos nods and Roland's seemingly confident mood is enough to convince Rob Akery to fold.

dena is not telling lies-- ask the devil

[NoflopsHomer]

Roland is finally getting the measure of Rob Akery, he just repopped Rob's 26k raise (Blinds 6k/12k/1k) to 85k, getting all and sundry to fold their cards. Akery is now the shortest stack remaining, and with the blinds now this high, Akery and Matt Tyler are going to have start making some moves.

Floppybok strikes again. Rob Akery raises in the small blind and Roland sets him in with , Rob calls fairly quick, as one would do with .

Board:



Roland's stack is halved to around 130k, whilst Akery is given a new lease of life.

Go On Matt!!!

[JungleCat03]

Just after that, Matt makes the move Floppy suggested he would have to soon, and mvoes allin UTG on Barny Boatman's big blind...

Everyone passes to Barny and he only needs a swift look at his cards to realise that he too would be passing...


Next hand Joe raises to 26k from UTG on Matt's big blind.

Everyone passes and although he doesn't look 100% happy about it, Matt also passes.


UTG is the new button folks...
