How did the pre flop betting go? You are in bad shape pre and reverse implied odds innit.

Jason'll love this line, but I had the softest table ever today and bust b4 the antes!

It was horrible, the aforementioned nuts v 2nd nuts hand is totally unavoidable, can't fold on any street the guy can have same hand, 2pair, sets it's a total cooler.

So I had 9k at 50/100, still very much alive despite being 1/3 average. I raised T9 (unlucky hand I guess) in the hijack and the bb called, and I cbet 823 he called. Turn is a Jack which is obviously a must-bet card. I bet and he calls. The river is a King and he donk bets quite big and I fold.

6k. Lose a pot bvb with JT on J65 I bet he calls. Turn is a 7. I bet again (get called by worse Jx, 99, 88, 78, 68, 58, 54 all sorts of pair and draws) he calls. River is a King. I have 3k back there's 3k in there middle. I decided to go for a thin value/blocker bet of 800. I think he flicks it in with quite a few worse hands and never shoves worse or bluff shoves so I can make an exploitable bet/fold. He shoved and i folded. I guess I got tarped.

2k. I shove 99 after a few limpers at 75/150, they all call lol (quintuple up one time!) and it comes AQT I tried all the tricks, I got out of my seat, put my hoodie on, picked up my bag. But alas I did not find a 9 or miraculously be good.

So we're 0/4 so far, running terribly but I'm encouraged by the fields, except for the 2.2k bounty, they've been really really soft, tons of value and loads of runners so our ROI should be huge.

All it takes is one result...next up is the WSOP $1500 on monday, that'd be a good one to win! The one today got 3100 runners, prize pool 4.2million so could be a milly up top!

Alex I do appologise. Just logged on and been uP all night. I wrote this out and then never sent it ( have been doing that a lot of late. Writing posts then reading em back to myself and if they sound douchey / trolley then I don't send em. This was a post that when I read back thought it was insensitive so thought best not sent it at a raw time.

Sorry again but will read your reply now.

[smashedagain]

Feel a bit better that you never took it maliciously and it inspired you to write a Brammeresque trip report.

Sorry i posted this on your staking thread ( not that it would be any better in your diary or eureka thread ).

I still write a lot of posts that I think funny but have started not sending the ones that are insensitive/ not funny and unfortunately this one got through.

Really hope you have some good fortune in the remaining comps

Bit naughty when the hand's still going on.

$1500 WSOP.

Had a dream start, making quads in a 3bet pot and getting paid decent, then chipped up really nicely on a soft table to 11k from 4500 starting stack. Feeling great at the break.

Moved tables which wasn't ideal, but it was still a good table with lots of soft spots. I lost a sizeable flip with TT vs AK aip but apart from that, I just went joke card dead for 5 hours straight and bled down to at my trough 3150 at 200/400.

I shoved 66 over and open, and doubled up vs A4. Very next hand I had 7k at 200/400/25 and minraised from the button with Ah . The bb was a chinese guy who went to fold his cards then changed his mind and flicked in the call. I knew there'd be trouble now. I cbet 1k on and he c/raised allin for about 5k more. His preflop antics were 100% geniune, so he never has a pair pre so he either has 6x or some sort of budget flushdraw,gutshot, maybe just two random overs. I called and he had 43offsuit lol and he turned a 4, gg. Believe me when I tell you that the standard in these comps has been really poor!

Very disappointed of course. Although I was short, the structure is so good once you get to the antes, and if I hold in that pot I have average chips and we were only 400 spots off the money out of 2800 runners, so our deepest run yet believe it or not. I'm playing my best at the moment, and am also preparing really well for all the events. Fading nights out to get a good nights sleep, waking up 2 hours before events and going to the gym, swimming making sure my mind is 100% focussed and I'm in the zone. Feeling great, just nothing is going our way.

We've played 5 comps on the stake now, and been coolered or bad beated in big pots in all of them. That's just the way it goes. Timing sucks since they're such big comps and even though I've sold for them it's still a big punt, and it's a punt for you guys and I really want to return a profit, or anything to you guys but it's just happening right now.

Venetian tomorrow should be a good one, gonna rest up and get my mind back on track.

[smashedagain]

Been following on twitter. Not as good as here tho.

[DMorgan]

Pretty psyched about the $500 refund at this point

gl for the last two

[cambridgealex]

Busted the $1600 today 3bet shoving 18k at 300/600/50 with ATo bb vs co. The opener was an active opener, I we'd had some postflop battles but he was combatting my aggression by peeling lots and stationing me down postflop. I decided that he wouldn't 4b jam that light, so didn't want to 3bet call, and he'd shown a tendancy to peel in bad spots and I didn't want to get peeled and play in oop, folding is terrible and 3b/folding is also pretty bad but maybe ok.

Jamming is defo +EV even though it's quite a lot of bbs, I think it's the best play. I could peel the open I guess but I just decided to jam and ran into AK.

Decided to skip the Wynn main tomorrow in favour of the WS $1k. I thought this would be a good value event, but it's not going to get many runners and apparently it's mostly european grinders and all the big punters are flicking it in for the WS $1k so I'm going to play that instead.

I've spoken to a couple of the backers and they agree it's a good decision / happy to go with my judgement so I trust the rest are happy too.

The WS $1500 yesterday was a deceptively good structure. The small amount of starting chips is counteracted by the 25/25 level and hour clock/plenty of levels once the antes kick in, I was short all day but never felt in trouble. So I think the 1k will be a good investment.

Will mean more refunds too since the Wynn was a 2.6k! #winning.

We did a day two! We did a day two!

Event59 the 1k, got 9bigs to come back to unfortunately. Been a joke tilting day, should have about 50k. I made sure the official chip counts reflected this unjustice though

Nearly in the money, but yeh pretty short. Field is incredible, literally worse than a 20freezeout! If I get some chips I really like my chances as playing against these types of players is my speciality.

Wanna do well so bad! Gogogogo!

[tikay]

9 bigs? Plenty!

Good luck Alex.
