Poker 770 Staking (MY 1ST STAKING THREAD!) [SOLD OUT]

[smashedagain]

Rob offered to put the remaining amount up for me, which means we will be in action tomorrow!
Will bring updates to this thread each break

well done mate and gl. defo deserve it for the work you do

[bobby1]

Good luck mate,play well.

[Junior Senior]

Yeah its fine for once. But someone the other day mentioned even if they had a bink they would put the money away and still sell for the following one. 30/70 after stakeback is basically "mates rates"- if people say im in a hole and cant afford to put anything in but fancy a go, then fair play. But selling just taking advantage and saying even if they won the comp they would do the same the following month is pretty ridiculous

'someone' was me and i stand by that and have explained why in JK's thread on the Rail. Calling my attitude 'ridiculous' is clearly your opinionated view and people can choose to follow that view if they wiish but I have other stuff to spend my money on and feel people are missing the point that these staking threads are very much a two-way benefit. I don't see that as 'taking advantage' at all but if you want to cast aspersions on my character and intensions then fine, but i am sure those that staked me (nearly all of who actually know me) can vouch otherwise.
thanks

end of Level 2 - 78k

Got direct position on Deadman, was oop to Tom Hall who has now been moved.
Not a bad starting table, just one player who seems to be flatting or raising pre, then floating all flops

Good luck mate. If Rob hadnt bought it id already said to couple people I was gonna take it all as apology for derailing the thread. So win it and give me another staking badbeat story

End of level 4 - 85k going into 300/600/50. 60 entries so far, 55 remaining.
good players at my table bar one station, who has direct position on me

end of level 6 - 165k.
Table has got stronger with Ben Vinson and zerofive.

Made a nice double, UTG+1 makes it 1400, we flat with AJ, so does bb.
Flop - AAJ
check from sb, original raiser makes it 1100. I make it 3000, doesnt look like we can rep much.
sb folds, raiser makes it 6k. we flat.
Turn - 8.
he bets 11k after tanking for about 3 mins, we call.
river - 3.
He tanks for a minute or so, ships it for like 40k, obv we snap, he instamucks.

[JGill_DTD]

Finish the day with 189k.
Had a horrible table at the end, thank the lord for the redraw come friday
average at 112k, blinds 600/1200 when we return

[JK]

Wiiiii Day2aments. VBOL

[smashedagain]

Looked like a tough field with very few recreational players. Day 2 should be easier and it's always nice to win your last longer bet with the Boss

[JGill_DTD]

To summarise:

The field was ridic, when compared to something like the £500 DS.
I expect plenty of the online qualifiers will be in it tomorrow, building up the prizepool.
I honestly think my table at the end was the toughest out there, don't think at any point during the tourney I had less than 4 pros on it.

Weird spot of the day:

AA at 100/200, we make it 450.
Villain makes it 1300.
We make it 4000.
He now makes it 11k.
No notes on villain, haven't seen him at DTD before though, not in the big ones - if he's not that good, he's going broke with KK, maybe QQ.
However he knows I'm being backed which I was hoping to use to my advantage later, so he knows I'm not going crazy with a weak hand.
We both have 60k behind which is the ridiculous thing about this pot. If I have 200 bigs I probs flat, but I don't fancy risking tourney life by going to a flop and getting it in there, or on the turn.
I make it 28k, meaning with 40k behind if he peels its perfect stack size to ship on the flop.
He thinks for 10 seconds, passes KK face up.
I just don't like the flat when we are so deep, probs should 6bet less where he has to call if its like 22k or so.
Hand up for discussion, since I've never been in a spot like this, and doubt I ever will be again.

Brag of the day:

Played with Simon Deadman all day.
He basically said he is more than happy to be a reference if I look for a stake in the future since I don't have hendon mob credentials, based on the way I played today.
Clearly thinks I played solid today, means I can genuinely be happy with the way I played.

As Jason said, tomorrow should soften the field and I can't be given a table as tough as I was left with at the end of Day 1.
in before commentators curse.
