Macau Poker Cup and APPT Cebu April 18-28 - SOLD OUT

[claypole]

Second Bullet Down.  Doesn't merit a write up.

Onto the Bounty tomorrow.  Details PMd.

[claypole]

So we're 0/2......nothing worthy of a write up,no horrendous beats. Dwindled chips, was very turbo like with 7500 chips and 30 min level.

I'm glad implayed the first two, got a much better feel for the place now. DaBookie arrives in an hour or so so a couple of rest days which I am sure will involve red wine tonight and ready for Thurs. think pokerstarsblog will update if you need a fix.

Main Event - regged Day 1c Thurs.  Cebu Main is a week Wed.

And gone level six of the Red Dragon main.

Played really well today, just got unlucky in a couple of key spots. Main one was button v BB when I flopped top pair with KhJh turned a flush draw and he back doored a straight with K8, pretty horrible and dropped me below 10k. Then ran into a house v same guy button v BB next orbit, I peel his raise with 88, 77Q board and I check call, turn 7, check check so I lead the river brick and he (just) calls, KQ. Got my last ten bigs in with A8 after two limps at 200/400 and of course the (only) utter clown at the table has limp called AK utg. We did turn a flush draw but bricked. Maybe could have waited as only had a blocker and pretty bad if called but it was 10 bigs and 1900 in middle when we're playing 4000.

We have the $6k Saturday and then the $2440 main in Cebu next week.  Reality is a min cash in Cebu will get us out and I am playing pretty good still. Hate these updates. More to come later in the week.

Also guys, on Saturday we are due to play the $6kHK at 8pm.  That was the extra one after we swapped the hi roller for Cebu. The hi roller is still Saturday there's a satellite at 2pm and it starts at 5pm.

As a few of you know I had a bink at weekend, and I feel bad about bricking first three, so I think I may play the sat on my own dime, it's about £280 one in ten.  If I bink a seat, I'll keep you the same % in hi roller as you had in $6k. If we don't win a seat we play the $6k as planned and Cebu next week. Still feeling this boys....don't ant any arguments on above, it's leastbI can do. To soft for staking lol

Good luck son.

Well onto Cebu.....I've sent the trip report on Facebook Fraser - cliffs

Had 50k ate end of level 4 from 10k starting
Lost a 20k pot straight after break
Ground back to 40k at 800/600
Lost a 80k pot with AdAh in a 3 bet pot on a 4c5c6d flop, drawing dead on turn
Went out 50th, 25 paid


Suffice to say I am not in love with Macau, the standard is pretty much as Pab said it was - we've just got the worst of it and onto Cebu.

Last chance saloon, that's how it always works with these threads and fortunately it's the biggest buy in event.

Gl us

[claypole]

Well, the bad news is we only got 150 runners - shocker really as,250 last year.

Good news is we go back with over 40 bigs, 34k and just below average. Consciously made a few adjustments today and to be fair kept us alive. I chose not to three bet    on the button - went to a flop 3 way with big blind - we flopped straight, bb lower straight AMD raiser turned quads lol - we go bust for sure if I play hand like I would at home...lost min

I'll update tomorrow how we fair.

[claypole]

Bagged up at 82k, 26 left I think - we go back with blinds at 1200/2400.

All the payouts etc are at www.pokerstarsblog.com - obv I'll play my game tomorrow, we're not here to min cash and I'm sure you'd want that.

Rough exchange is 60php to pound so about £65k up top.

Played well today, won't bore you with lots of hands, suffice to say had to create spots; only showdown of note was when KK held v 88 to double us from 17k to 40k. Good luck us tomorrow.

Pretty brutal end guys.....rivered on the river all in  v  - pretty devastated. Didn't go in behind in three days and even tho I say so myself probably best I've played in a while.

Let me know how you want cash - stars or bank. I'll sort when home Tuesday, if anyone needs desperately drop me a message. Cash was buy in + 75% so by my maths about 2500$ us plus $1875 US = $4375. I'll use stars exchange rate for those who want bank,

Really sorry - wasn't to be.....onto Vegas via Wembley

PS - Did some good ISPT promo stuff lol
