An Ape and a notebook, how long will it take?

[jgcblack]

Single 13 for a double 1..

the previous game i took like 21 darts to slowly get down from a 40 finsh to a 2 finish, so this time figured id go straight for it!




Even hit 1x 140.... was sooo chuffed!

[Leatherman]

Do you play for a team at Darts/Pool or are ya just having a friendly chuck/knock.. ?

[jgcblack]

No, I don't play for anyone.. this was in the BHC club in Nigeria vs a colleague.  The competition was a 'club' bi-weekly thing.. coming second in the pool was a shame, but I played great.

[jgcblack]

Siggghhhhhhh-aments!

Just bust both the DTD150 and the DTDUKIPT satellites..

DTD150 Sat
Played super solid all the way through, was CL from the first level until we were down to like 20 people...  Just had a few hands in and played them alright.
Then made one mistake.. where I had AKo otb and flatted vs EP raise from a big stack, BB comes along with A5o and a short stack... (well played sir)

Flop
5x5, OR cbets small - I call, BB calls.
Turn
xo and checked around and I decide that I can take this down here... so I shove for 1.3x pot and BB snaps... - well this probably isnt good, we might be able to hit an A or K though.  Nope they're not good.
River
K.... thanks, just what I needed.

So thats a decent chunk of our stack gone, bah humbug!


DTDUKIPT Sat
Played fine all the way through, pretty snug as usual, struggled to find a hand really tbh (had them in the dtd150).
Get down to like 18bb's and get into SS shove mode, but again struggle to find anything to shove. Then decide to shove my next btn if folded to me - works, then shove next hand - works, and then find    and shove again... this time about 3 of the guys tank fold... with me praying for the call!

Then some genius called BTHEROCK decides to 'trap' limp otb with a shortstack.... WTF... LOLZ....

I find and shove over his and the SB limp, he snaps and flops the straight..... - guess you gota know when you're going to flop tha nutz!


So thats our tourny grind for the night...


WPT Cash Grind
Played 3 hours in two sessions and finished -$10, been playing a little bit looser pre flop to try and pick up the dead preflop money there is at 25NL.. it also allows some of the players to 'spazz' a little vs me - (It's hard to get action on your big hands preflop when you're playing 18/16...)

Feel like my game and hand reading is going really well... still making a few mistakes, but losing a stack with when I 3bt, 1/2pot, 1/2pot, shove on 10xxxx.... is fine when the guy calls me down with - note made and I will now be shoving vs him SUPER LIGHT! (but paired obv)



Off to sleep, night all.

a6 is literally the nut worst hand to 3bet in any spot.

Appreciated.. it was a perfect squeeze spot, my BB to a btn raise n SB call with the perfect two players in the pot.  Wasn't playing my hand.

a6 is literally the nut worst hand to 3bet in any spot.

Disagree with that, it has a blocker and can flop top pair. It's better than LOADS of hands like T2 73o etc. Obv prefer suited too.

Not saying it's a hand I'd consider 3betting ever lol, just saying it's gotta be better than 94o!

Hows the EPT winning going?  I managed to come 5th in a UKIPT live sat with 2 seats tonight... sigh-aments..

Made a 'technical' mistake i think... I raise/4bt shoved 44 vs a particular villain with 25k @ 800/1600 - chatting to DL +TL (online tourny players) they reckon it should be a raise fold with that stack.  My short stack play is much better, but not perfect by any means yet.

Nvm, more dtd satellite opportunities im sure.

Haven't even 'registered' the bustout/ loss as i feel i played optimally at all stages.  Can't ask for more imo.


Right, getting a stroppy 'come to bed' vibe from C so I'm off to rescue her night! 



I've mentioned to a few mates about selling some pieces of me in Gentings live series for this Friday's Day 1C @ 1.1 - £47.50 a slice, can't offer on here yet as I don't have enough posts, but thats fine.  You're chance to throw away money on me will come in time.  Would be nice to play it, pretty sure I'll have a pretty significant edge vs a lot of the field with a 25k stack and 1 hr clock.  That's like a super deep £0.50/1 or£1/1 game for 3 days! yes PLEASE!!!!!!

So we need to get a few bi's in order to pay for this!

On top of this we have sold 30% of action in the Genting £430, and with 10% for Pads that means we're playing 60% tomorrow assuming we can buy-in with no problems.


A little bit Scary tbh.
