UKIPT Coventry thread

[Sweetman]

was on your table before 22<44  then nitrolled by JJ vs my AQ if i had a stack think we would have had a few battles. gl

Thought I recognised your face, yeah that was a good passive table man!! cant believe the guy who 3-bet you with JJ had to tank before calling your 4-bet AI, I'd have snapped your hand off!!

Set over set against the freeroll qualifier was pretty sick too, I didnt see your exit, but I assume you reshipped against the guy on my right and lost the race, gg.

[Cottonbud]

Tighty you forgot to put me down and my bowl of 19,700 might of been cos I put my name down as James Sean Williams to avoid confusing me incase the other James Williams turns up!

Me and bramm both had a bad last level to the night managing to half our stacks. Had George on my table for a bit he played nice and aggressive think I should of prob stuck it in his eye one hand but he seemed to be picking on one player in particular for the remaining level of the night.

GL to all blondes playing today!

[EvilPie]

Oh, and also just wondered what u all think about this.

I turn up towards the end of level 2 and buy in (as a late reg, not somebody who is just late) and am given a seat card. Get to my seat and theres another persons name and player card there with the stack that has been sitting there since the start.

I ask if i get a fresh stack and am told i have to use this guy who is not turning up!? how can that be right? what if my table has been 3 handed and hes been through the blinds 20 times before i get there. Somebody asks what would have happened if i bought in and there were non of these 'un used stacks'

Apparently they have a way to work out how many chips you start with.  Course you do.

Dont know whats wrong with just taking a big and small blind from each level.... surely the only fair way to do it!?!?

FWIW I lost 625 chips instead of 225.

Hi Mitch

I actually don't think this is an awful ruling (sorry). What should have happened as a late reg at that stage is that you should have been an alternate and only been able to enter when someone was knocked out (with as you say a bb and sb for each level passed removed from your stack). However, as played, I think it's right to pay bb and sb from the stack at the table however long the game has been running for te other players at the table. Whether you should have been allowed to take that stack over is another question entirely.

Fwiw I'm playing this afternoon, but going straight from work, although  only losing 625 for two hours and still remaining with a 14k+ stack and blinds still low at 4pm, I'm tempted to go home and get some rest in first.

Also, whoever it was that said it was sold out at 4pm yesterday has been wrongly advised too as I went along at 7.30 and paid in directly at the cash desk.

Good luck to all still in from yesterday and those of you playing today.

What if the guy who's stack it was turns up 3 hours later after late reg has finished? Do they just give him a fresh stack (minus whatever they work out) and sit him down in a random seat somewhere?

A late reg is different to an alternate. If the comp offers late registration to a comp for say the first 3 levels, they would usually leave seat 9 free on all tables for example and fill them with people coming late, with fresh stacks. Once reg is closed they just rebalance all the tables if their are a lot of tables 8 handed etc.

An alternate is if the comp is full, and the only way you will get a seat is if one comes up before the end of level 3 or whatever.

Think the ruling is pretty gay because surely their werent too many ppl who were just not going to turn up to allow late reg's to just take over their stack.

Pretty tilting about ppl being able to buy in today aswell, I was clearly told yesterday that it was full and had to race to get their in time for 1A.

I bought in to this event but something came up and I had to unregister. I rang up a few days ago and they said they were busy but to ring back in 30 mins, which I did, at which point they said they were busy and to ring back in 30 mins. This happened twice.

Eventually I got hold of someone who said I could unregister and they would send a cheque on Thursday if I left my address.

After reading this thread, I was a bit concerned that my chips would be on the table and I wouldn't be receiving a cheque, so I rang up today and spoke to a different lady who says it's not possible to send cheques. Would have been nice if they told me.

I then asked for it be sent to the Vic instead. Hopefully it turns up and I don't have to chase it.

I got the feeling that the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing, but they're a new addition to the circuit, so I'm gonna give them a chance and will likely play the GUKPT festival.

There was definitely an Adam Goulding on the seat draw Snoops, I know because I noted your name down as a 'notable to follow' and then when I went to your table I obviously saw it wasn't you in your assigned seat.

Lol, worrying, hope I see that £550 again. At least I was a notable.

Look out for DIMITRIOS ERMOGENOUS. He's the guy who knocked MC out.

EP raise, James 3 bets from cut off, I 4 bet from the button for about 1/3 of my stack (similar stack to James), Dimitrios flats from the SB, James 5 bet ships.

I lay down my jacks and Dimitrios calls with his AQ.

James' KK can't hold.

I don't often moan about other people's plays but this was really bad. I was gutted for James to go out to such horrible poker.

Yeah man. Player specific. James lays down QQ and possibly AK there. When he ships he's face up KK or AA in my opinion.
