GPS Nottingham Weekend ReportWas sat in my uni last tuesday night, and for some reason decided to deposit 30 quid on my DTD account. Ended up winning the £15 quid sat, and after a grinding a bowl for ages in the £55, got through with 2bbs. Thanks to the guy who open jammed AK with 5bigs, i owe him a pint!
As is ritual nearly every Wednesday, Rexas and I headed for Nandos before DTD, was only initially planning on playing cash, however 80 runners in the live sat was almost too good to miss, so we flicked it in, and won a seat! 2 seats for £90, was loving life.
After a bottle of Coplella juice and a taxi to the club, we arrived at Dusk feeling confident we might make a Day 2. We chipped up early on what seemed like a decent table, chipping up to a little over 30k. However over the next 4 or 5 levels we lose a couple of standard pots, folding 2 pair on the river when all the draws come in and he bombs etc etc, also a badly played pot where we brick a big combo draw, only to be called by ace high, sigh.
So this leaves us with 4k (8bbs) 30mins before the dinner break. We are UTG and Im basiclly looking for an Ace or any shoveable hand. My Knight in shining armour appears on the rail, ZeroFive himself, and we look at
first card, followed by the
. Hate folding with the blinds next hand, so it goes in. All hell breaks loose, MP reships 15k, huge stack on the btn, whos been playing very loose all day, calls, and the BB who was recently crippled calls. We should be drawing dead, but no, somehow in a 4 way all in, we are up against
,
and
. I casually announce to the table 'I dont lose these' and watch the
roll of on the river, we have 18k! Half an orbit later, we find
all in v
for another full double, and go into dinner with nearly 40k. We lose a couple of pots, with Frankie now at the table, then 4 bet shove
into
, flop
, and we dodge, putting us back to 40k or so.
We move to Deadmans table, who has the lot, lose a couple of small ones and then play possibly the weirdest, and most butchered hand on both parites part i think ive ever seen. We open
to 2100, btn flats. Flop
, we cbet to 2600, he makes it 6k. I honestly didnt think he had anything/ thought his hands were more weighted to draws, so make it 12300 with 14k behind. He flats,
on turn. We ship for 14k, he fairly quickly calls, expecting to be dead here. He shows down the
for a big combo draw, and he bricks
on the rver to send us over 60k. It doesnt need to be said, im fairly happy i cremated that hand. No more noticeable hands for the day, and we bag up 133,900.
While enjoying a beer, we rail rexas into a seat for friday too.
After a lot of sleep, we head down to dusk Friday night for some cash and see how the lads, Rexas, Adiman and Rehfish are doing. We sit down next to Sean in a huge 1/1 game, that fairly becomes an uncapped 1/2/5 often witha 10 straddle too. Usually id snap leave this game, however, a few northern lads were calling 30/40 quid pre with 82o and 74 so i thought, its worth a punt, play tight and hit a double when you can. We find
on the BTN and make it 30quid over a 10 straddle. Flop:
i think, 2 guys check call 60 quid. Turn
, bingo. We make it £105, one call, other guy ships, we call other guy folds. We announce flush, he mucks pre river and we scoop the £850 quid pot. Nothing else of note and we leave £400 t0 the good.
Day 2 of the GPS, early on not alot happens. Playing small ball we struggle to chip up, make the money then move to the feature with about 150k Find dem acez twice in awesome spots, and chip up some more and leave with 450k 2hrs later. However, we find
into
in the last level of the day, shortly followed by stacking PJ where i turn a boat against his flopped straight. However, double short stacks up twice and bag up 792k for day 3, still buzzing.
Day 3 was a tale of 2 huge pots really, we river the nut flush, check and get shoved into, weeeeee and move over 1.5milly. Back to the feature, we raise with
and guy to my left 3 bet ships 1milly with
, we hold and dont play another hand until the FT where we take 2.5mill with us.
FT played itself, no real big cards, 4bet folded Ace Jack which im not sure which is the best way to go there. Then shoved 10bbs with
and ran into AK. SIgh, still 7k not a bad result!
Cheers for all the love and rail support guys, means a lot.
