The Best In The Business

[pleno1]

Consolation is that not much results from the others.

Brammer cashed 500 and Mement Mori is deep, but everybody else bricked.

Overall

As we are running as badly as we could be its nice to be in OK shape, coming up we have some v important tournaments that will decide things.

Tomorrow is the Shootout at 4pm and the Zoom turbo at 11pm.

Think I should have some edge here as some of the guys wont get up early enough to play the shootout, so a min cash could be massively important and really put a breathing space between me and 3-4 of the guys who only have one cash.

Imagine they will all be playing 20 tables come 11pm meaning that when i just 2 table the zoom I should have an edge, again a min cash would be fine.


Then we have Sunday where big scores can be made.

I think many under estimare the structures, they are incredible and passing up marginal ev spots here seems like the best move imo.

8 days left.

Surprised there isn't more that you don't know the busts of.

I was playing a full schedule last night and had to report on my thread about the 215ko, and was like hmmm have no idea what happened in that at all, barely remember a single hand from it! Doesn't this happen more often or do you play few tables/ look over HHs afterward?

[youthnkzR]

Couple of questions for ya:

- Do the prop bets you have affect your play on and around the bubble in the SCOOP events - i.e. normal standard spots where you would be picking up chips / pressuring other lesser experienced players - are you passing up - in effect turning yourself into the very player you would usually be 'bullying' (hope this makes sense) - or are you just playing a normal game. Because at the end of SCOOP that one extra cash may be the difference between +/- a pretty decent sum of $.

- I notice you haven't really been grinding anything else other than the SCOOP events since they began - is this soley down to your prop bets? Do you think this is equally as 'profitable' for you to do as grinding a normal session would be or maybe more or less so?

I'm takin it pretty seriously so I'm not mass tabling so I either know about it and moan it in straight away on the blog and check later or just quickly check hem.

I watched all of your sko yesterday and could probably say 3 main hands for you if you wanted haha was actually a pretty fun table.

Generally tomorrow would be the one day I may miss the results of as ill be playing more tables bit for example tonight I will play the shoot out at 5 probably bust by 6 then go get dinner and drinks the. Come back for the zoom before bed.

Yesterday went for a family dinner at 7 came back at 11 and played the turbo.

1) nah playing the same two examples that spring to mind.

In previous low event I was 100 off bubble opened ak utg when avg was 25bbs and urg1 jammed 95bigs and i called with 92.

Yesterday on the bubble of the 11 I opened 20 pots in a row or something

2) I don't see it as if I could make x or y. To me this is a huge challenge and something that really entertains and interests me. I like doing the blog I like anti railing the other guys and I like learning from Brammer. I'm still playing sessions though this week I played a huge Sunday a very big Monday and a 25 table session on Thursday so I wouldn't say I'm slacking etc, I'm just literally grinding te scoop every night.

OK just HEMed for my own piece of mind, the biggest pot I played in terms of bbs was my exit hand, shoving 7bbs with K8hh!

What were these 3 main hands!?

[pleno1]

3bet fold co va btn I think 275 and you made it 675 and he ripped.

Your utg vs sb when you folded on 643ccx

I've sometimes played my own games alongside a stake (stated in OP ofc) and didn't see the bust out hand, just c+p from hem ?  I thought you mustn't have HEM but then you could just get it emailed off Stars, think stakers like to see bustout hands, just saying.

#confirmedjustbitter (that's just another one of my shitty jokes btw)

[cambridgealex]

Yeh I have hem, just seemed silly to go and search out a uber standard hh to post in the thread. But I guess if stakers really do wanna see then it's no problem.
