Right had a pretty terrible night tonight, had to put up with the farce that was millidonks quiz which all went Pete Tong and then to top it off tried to down load the software to play the GPS satellite for the event this weekend. I understand it was a network wide issue with ipoker but that does not explain why my laptop that I got back Friday is knackered. Explorer not responding, program's not responding, stupid freezing and that circle thing just spinning around. And then to top it off I find that all my passwords for blackbelt paddypower chilipoker etc are invalid so something must have gone wrong in the couple of months since I used em.
You would nod believe how many laptops I have naffed up in the past 5 months.
Right on with the weekend report warts n all and I appologise in advance if I upset anyone or they are offended. I got accused of hating blonde/Dtd/tighty recently and nothing could be further from the truth and I just say it how it is IMHO and don't tend to think before I post or sugar coat things to lick arse.
Having got my laptop back from my expert I.T. guy on Friday I decided that I would have a spin in the satellite on DTD for this weekends £500 deepstack. The plan was to have a shot in the €50+1r+1a for a total outlay of €150. The problem was after I did my early morning read of blonde I noticed that tighty had put that Friday nights comp is only 2 seats gtd as opposed to the 10 seats gtd that had been running all week. This was not Dtd's fault but I know I was not the only person to be caught out by this and won't let it happen again.
Both the Richards I travel with usually had already won their seats as they do every month and luckily they haad both decided they were playing different starting days and that gave me my out. No problem travel with the Specman on Friday play they sat and if I win a seat travel with Rick117 on the Saturday to play.
A quick phone call to Rick Specman and I organise for him to pick me up at 3 to give us plenty of time to get him to the deepstack but Rick being laid back he gets to mine nearer 4 which ain't a problem for me coz the mega sat starts at 8 but dies mean he won't make the 5pm start for the deepstack. Nothing fazes Rick but not being on time for the start of a comp makes my shit itch and I can't stand not being there at the start.
Anyhow we arrive at Dtd at 6 and I've got a couple of hours to kill so rock up next to tighty order a drink, the spinach pasta and generally get in his way and annoy him. With about half an hour to go before the start of the comp there was a little confusion over the comp. Was it just 1 re buy only or was it 1 rebuy and an add on? This did not bother me as i had enough for 3 buyins on me.The cash desk and the floor managers both said different things and Dtd's site and tighty's thread on blonde were contradicting each other. To save time and hassle as soon as I saw Simon I asked him and he dropped the bomb shell that it was unlimited re loads at anytime. In theory you could buy in for as many chips as you wanted at anytime no matter on the amount of chips you had already. As I only had £150 plus change I prayed that I had enough dough to last till the add on.
Just before the start Richard was on a break from the deepstack and came staggering over to inform me he had almost trebled up in the hour and half he had been playing. Now Rick loves a drink, spends about £30/ hour on beer whilst playing and was starting to look the worse for wear already. He also loves Larry the Lobster and the touch roulette and I came out of the toilet to find him tapping away at the wheel of doom.
"Looks like 30 is the biggest payout. Lump some more on and I will call it in for you" I said. He proceeds to tap on and around 30 until it won't let him put any more on. Boom I can see it pops straight in 30 and Rick won't believe me. His eyes are terrible for an optician but there is an awkward moment from me knowing its in 30 and then him actually realising its in when the machine confirms it. He lets out a scream and I get a massive bear hug from a 18 stone man that a grizzly would be proud of.
I did not want to celebrate to prematurely because there is a massive difference between winning a serious amount of dough at the beginning of the night and actually leaving with it at the end of the night.
It was time for me to take my seat so wished him luck and headed upto my table. I love playing at tables with guys I know well and this one was quite a good one as I had Dave Nesbit, Frank "the Nemisis" Flanagan, Bash Mahmood and a friendly RedSimon. Quite a lot of people were moaning about the fact that the competition was now unlimited re loads ( I still don't understand why they were not called Re buys) which really played into my hands. I was in the same boat as them with only holding £150 but I was not sticking a dirty great sign round my neck saying i am gonna play this tighter than a nuns chuff by moaning about it.
The re entry period went well for me and I managed to double my stack up with very few showdowns, usually taking the blinds or winning defended blinds with a C bet. The only other really active person on my table was Bash who was sat to my right and is fresh off the November deepstack win and he likes to play plenty of pots and loves a gamble.
The only real interesting hand occured in a pot involving bash, myself and frank.
At 200/400 Bash limps utg +1 and I am next to act and have
and raise to 1600. It folds round to Frank on the button who just clicks the raise to 3200. Those of you who know Frank will immediately have alarm bells going off here, and I am not saying Frank would never get jiggy in this spot as he is as consistent a performer as anyone in the games at Dtd but he has killed me twice in recent months where he had 3 bet me when I had QQ and AK and he took me out because I was to stubborn and was never ahead in the hand.
Bash then calls Franks raise and builds a nice pot giving me decent odds to call even if Frank has dem aces.
The flop
and bash thinks for only a few seconds and announces all in for about 13k which covered me by 1k and Frank by a few more. This seemed a bit like déjà vue coz Bash took me out of last months deepstack when he had a set of jacks (and so did I ). Bash knows my favourite hand is Alister James and infact all 3 kids are AJ JK & TJ and I could easily have the Jack myself. This mystified me so thought Bash must have a Jack and is more than happy to take the pot there and then. Luckily Frank was already counting out his chips while I was thinking and piled em up again to be ready to put em I folded. In thinking what Bash could have I had forgotten that Frank was beating me pre flop and I was now an even bigger dog. I fold Frank puts his chips in and flips over his aces. Good call says Bash as he shows
but obv makes a straight on the river.
Just before the late entry closes Rick wanders over "gone kid. Gonna play this now instead". For some reason Dtd was busier than expected and the floor managers Gavin and Dan were called upto deal whilst Simon and Nick manned the cash desk by the toilets. It was a terrific team effort but as they were short on dealers there were 13 people waiting to be seated after late entry closed and going into the last level of re loads. This was not a problem as they could buy in for any amount of chips they wanted as soon as they sat down. At the break I had not had a re load so donated the last £100 to the cause.
On the break there were 61 entries and for the first time in a long time Dtd had met the £5600 10 seats gtd and had £550 left over for 11th which proved to be significant later. I have to say that unusually the moaners did not just moan to one another but a couple of em sort to take up their issues with Simon. There had obv been some mis communication down the line and no one knew that the tourney was unlimited reloads and as they say assumption is the mother of all fuck ups. What I did see was Simon who obv was under the pump a bit as he was having to work the desk but he handled the situation perfectly. After letting the moaners have their say Simon just replied " I am awfully sorry, the mis understanding was all my fault and I can only appologise ". After that response no more was needed to be said on the subject and everyone was satisfied.
The comp was pretty uneventfull for me and I went pretty card dead after the break.
I managed to lose half my stack when 3 bet jamming
an open from Bash who was still the most active, only for Amjad with half my stack to have kings right behind me.
Then my exit hand involved me jamming sixes and an attractive lady telling me she fancied a gamble with me and called with QJ and it was good night deepstack entry. Iirc someone also called behind with 10 10 so was never gonna win the hand but the Queen on the turn was a nice card for the lady.
Dtd had kindly donated the extra £10 to make the prize pool 11 seats and Specman was fortunate enough to win one to go with the other one he had already won that week. As he could not play the Saturday I persuaded Dtd to take back their £10 and let Specman have the cash. He was more than happy with that result, he was walking out of the club with a belly full of £60 worth of beer and a bag of sand more than he had walked in with.
Half hour an hour up the M1 and we pull in for his regular order of chicken selects from Macdonalds and by now he is starting to feel the effects of his beer, "I want to put you in the deepstack Jase, you've taught me all I know mate and you did the same for me in the UKIPT , let me return the favour."
I politely decline. "It's too much mate and
confidence is low. Why not go halves with me in the £150 instead. And as we walk out of the services we pick up a box of a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts to toast out newly formed partnership.
Fml its 1.45am and I started typing this about 11 Ish when I came to bed (anyone want to see a semi naked picture of our lass on the bed please see my facebook entry from 11 pm tonight). God knows how long it is but obv its tldr.
Will however continue with the £150 tomorrow.
