I kinda mis-read the hand, I didn't realise you'd raised originally and thought you were talking about cold-calling a 3bet

[matt674]

So far this month i'd had 4 cashes before tonight with all 4 being 1st place finishes - tonight was cash number 5 but i messed up my record

Matt you originally sold 50% and some of those have dropped out are there any % available next month?

[matt674]

to be honest i dont think i'll be selling any of the % that has been returned - going to just keep it with the original stakers.

I take full credit for Matt's recent upturn in form, I told him there are 200,000 players on Stars at any point we must be able to find 180 worse than you

180 worse than him ? doubt it but we might find 90 and the the other 90 is down to luck

[matt674]

was going to reply with the  or  smiley but then i played 3 tourneys tonight and i dont think i found 180 worse in the 3 combined!!

hand like this didnt help, had planned on reraising the continuation bet on the flop if the ace doesnt come but small blind decided to make stand with 6 high so it all ended up in pre, darn these 10 ace decks

Good point Iron and very well made i might add.............

[matt674]

been strange month - got off to a flyer, been making a few slight alterations to game including things like lowering raises as mentioned in thread. Have to admit not much difference early stages of tourneys but have noticed difference late on and have definately been inducing more bluff reraises late on in tourneys which is always good when holding the goods results however had dipped last 7-10 days when making it down to last 3 tables on quite a few occasions only to get outdrawn at the wrong time - but then tonight everything went perfect, every time i had the best hand it held up - the odd time i was behind trying to take out a short stack i got the outdraw and as Armo will testify having watched the final table i may have to take the next couple of days off due to severe bruising because the deck hit me that hard!!

shame it was just a $10 but still - 5th first place finish for the month

Nice going Matt, really turned it around this month !

[KeithyB]

Great month Matt!   

[matt674]

Great month Matt!   

just a minor consolation for the monkeys recently tasting defeat at the hands of the foxes

Won't be playing tomorrow so month's final figures posted - will sort out stakers profit payments over the weekend

[matt674]

Have made monthly payments - can stakers please let me know if not received

forgot that SCOOP tourneys mean no warm up for next two weeks - looked at satellites into the $215 events for today but all are turbo rebuys rather than regular satellite rebuys. whilst waiting for a 180 to kick off played a couple of low level mtts and cheap satellites into the low level scoop events for today. Have won seats into both of tonights $20 buy in events so will take my chances against the fields of 10000 runners

first though win the $10 180 sng currently on-going
