FINAL TABLE

2nd hand in we riase utg with  to 15500 at 3000/6000/500 and fold to the 3bet from a tight mp player. Next orbit 3 limpers on my bb i check the option with  and we check the flop of  with the button making it 15k which is flatted by us and folded by the rest, on a turn of  it goes check check and then hit the  and make a value bet of 32k which is called and i got lucky vs the  .

I then raise  B v B with  and get it through before the blinds moving to 4000/8000/500 make it 20k utg+2 with  all folding before folding one complete orbit through the blinds winning my blinds back on a  board with  . I then played a pair of sixes averagely turning a gutshot before hero'ing the end to lose 45k and have 450k with still 10 left.

The AMERICAN has still not showed up and now has 51k which is affecting the short stacks as they want him to blind off and move up the ladder,  WPIL (imo) then open limps AGAIN and I iso to 26k with  which he calls (standard) oop and the flop of  I know he is never without here and we check check befor het bets 60k on an irelevant turn and we do a fold!!

UTG moves in for just under 100k and SHAGPILE on here dwell folds so obv had an Ax and i call it off with  from the BB and the or flips  to which Shagpile declares "i had the same hand"  ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh  etiquette not that I was complainng no sweat though as a  is first card in the window and were upto 550k.

American now finishes a valiant 9th for £200 and just under 3x his buyin as his hand is declared dead with 3k in the bb and his ante, and we fold through the blinds to action.

There will now be a public VINNY BUYS FOOD ANOUNCEMENT!!

Not a big fan of pha but this stuff floats my boat. Good read for me at least .

Did you ever discover what happened to the American?

[Eso Kral]

Did you ever discover what happened to the American?

No he blinded off and they put his money on account but his friends had said one of them couldnt come back but strange to be chippy and not return!!

[Eso Kral]

VINNY BUYS FOOD!!!

Well sort of, we had earlier swapped a small % with my Maltese friend giving me double what he got of me after an early double through in the £50 evening tourney so seeing him walking over is never a good sign and he couldnt find the fold having flopped triplets drawing to a chop on the turn (fish)

He declares " I am going to have a Lamb Jalfrezi do you want the same?" Yeah ok as I have not eaten since breakfast to which i then hear at the top of his voice  "George (TD and Cardroom manager) can i have a free meal ticket for my friend who I have bought here from Southend" and George snap walks over and gives him a ticket for me so Vinny has still not bought me a meal EVER!!  Our hero even has the audacity when presented with 2 Jalfrezi's to say George said that its comped and George nods and Vinny slides the free meal ticket into his pocket for another visit before ordering a coke for himself and after asking what me and one of MITCH's old cronies Will want ordering 2 beers which he forgets so we even have to pay for them.  WAL that man leads!!!!

I then had my QUEENS hand that has been posted in PHA

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=55874.0

I then bluff off 42k with  having tried to steal from the button on a    having bet turn and river and folding to the check shove and still have 500k.

I then lose a pot when 3betting  after an utg+2 raise to 48k at 8/16000/1000 with me making it 110 and calling off the extra 20k with Vinny berating me for 3 betting the tightest guy on the table but if ever I am in a tight card dead spot your lack of action enables you to get the odd steal through, alas he has DEM ACES and holds  so were back to 445k...

[Eso Kral]

We get a walk in the blinds before raising the button with  and the blind go up again to 12000/24000/2000.

A couple of players get knocked out and were 4 handed and all fairly even in chips with no more than 100k between us and a deal was proposed of £1300 with £670 FTW more which the slight chippy declines and I dont mind this as if we can get 3handed i think were in with a good chance.

We then bet flop and turn with  on a  board but cant find the 3rd bullet losing to a bare  at which point Vinny comes up and writes COCK on my notes and then gives me his input "I start getting active against these" Lol cos i have already been folding my way to the win!!

He then tells me that i acted too quickly on the river of the 2nd hand i posted in PHA today

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=55876.0

I then win 3 consecutive hands  utg  BvB and  adding approx 135k to the stack with no showdown before next orbit raisng to 48k with  and calling off v  and holding to reach the heights of 780k.

At new blinds of 16000/32000/3000 I min raise SB to BB 8dand flop  check check  bet call and on the  check check feeling my 8 high cant be good to be shown  which we get stacks in on any diamond river.

WP mate. top result.


BTW, is there a bigger legend than the mighty Vinny?

He declares " I am going to have a Lamb Jalfrezi do you want the same?" Yeah ok as I have not eaten since breakfast to which i then hear at the top of his voice  "George (TD and Cardroom manager) can i have a free meal ticket for my friend who I have bought here from Southend" and George snap walks over and gives him a ticket for me so Vinny has still not bought me a meal EVER!!  Our hero even has the audacity when presented with 2 Jalfrezi's to say George said that its comped and George nods and Vinny slides the free meal ticket into his pocket for another visit before ordering a coke for himself and after asking what me and one of MITCH's old cronies Will want ordering 2 beers which he forgets so we even have to pay for them.

I've met up with him a few times and I don't think I've ever bought him food unless I lost a flip, kinda feel bad about it.

[Eso Kral]

We then get 2 handed when i make it 68k with  and Shagpile makes it 140 leaving 500k back and due to the fact I think he has the hump at my activity so we Jam with some equity and he calls flipping  telling me "I'm live"

The  board proved that correct and we are HU which after a bit of to'ing and fro'ing I end up taking £2120 to his £2000 as it was 12.30am and I had the drive home following on from 3 days of poker with work on each day and today also plus the money has come in handy as Petra snap took some today for xmas presents but it leaves a freeroll of poker tourneys in December!!!

big thanks to my mate Steve who does not post on here for driving Saturday and i dont swap a % with him and Scillidonk for the Saturday night rail and the sunday night anti rail from Vinny!!


Now for the Deepstack!!!!!!!
Which in this tourney one year ago this happened

hopefully history will repeat itslef without the SPEEEEEEWWWW this time!!!

[millidonk]

lol, nice peel with the 93

[Eso Kral]

lol, nice peel with the 93

It was completely spot and player dependant as the blinds were the weakest on the table so i was nicking all the time and the villain having sat with him for the best part of a day he never has AA/KK/QQ/AK/AQ in that spot and I cna Gtee that having seen his MO so his range was 66-JJ and i felt any A K Q combo my c bet takes it down and unfortunately i flopped the lot and made the same bet i was going to make on a High board just couldnt hold for the CL!!
