£55 games havn't been going brilliantly but still feel they are great value, and it's just a matter of time.

I'm going 2 play the 9pm tonight and Thursday, really going to try and focus, just play every hand as best I can, and see what comes from it, it would be awesome to get some decent run's going in these games.

If I was going to play a lot of higher buy in MTT's, I would get some coaching, I was thinking about it last week, but come September i'll mostly be playing cash, so doesn't make a whole lot of sense at the moment. Maybe something i'll look into come the Spring of next year.

Was also thinking about taking out a RIO subscription.

If anyone uses Run It Once are the videos downloadable, and is it any good for the £60/70 a month it would cost?
   

[POWWWWWWWW]

Videos are downloadable on to an app that holds 6 different vids at a time. Quality of vids and coaches are second to none.

[Lambert180]

Yeah the RIO vids are vv good.

You don't necessarily have to pay £60/70 per month btw, that's only for the Elite level, although that is where all the best vids are (but there are good non-elite vids too). There's also a ton of free material out there if you use Google.

[shipitgood]

Yeah it's very decent and £60/70 a month is good value imo.

Getting a team together for the Partypoker/ DTD games, need another two players!

Sorry Andy, I'm busy that weekend, so please stop harassing me every day begging me to play.

Thanks.

Just wrote a longer post when my phone crashed on me. Cliffs, londons been fantastic off 2 Epsom this arvo, played at aspers and the hippodrome. Had a bit of a nightmare getting to and back from Leicester square yest not knowing London at all with the tube strike been on! The hippodrome was an amazing venue with fantastic staff. In the hippodrome they do a draw and 4 players get rake free poker all day, I was lucky to get take free poker. Played some cool hands. I 3 bet a tightish player with q5 hh otb, 10-30, he calls. Flop 1077 r, cont bet 40, call. Turn 10 check check. Don't think I'm betting any hand on this turn here 10x or over pair. When he calls the flop he always has a pair, certainly never ace high or worse. Otr he bets 30, really small! The way he has been playing he never has 10x here, he'd fold a10 pre oop, and he's pretty capped at never having aa or kk, he'd always be 4 betting these hands, he is most likely to have 88~99, Jj or queens, probs most likely Jj. Of course he could have quads, but quite happy I can get him 2 fold most of his range, it's never ever a bluff a jam here, I move all in, he tanks for a bit asks if I'll show if he folds, tanks some more and mucks his hand.

1 bed flat in Epsom = 300k plus buying, renting = £900 pm, really redic the disparity between this area and the rest of the uk, must be almost impossible for some1 starting out to buy a place. 300k where I live would just about get you a mansion!

[shipitgood]

It really is amazing how expensive it would be to rent/ buy a place in London.

It's a shame folk starting out or those on low incomes would struggle to ever own property down there, constantly having to rent, all that dead money never building up equity in a property.

I loved London though, was a really sweet city. I wasn't sure what to expect, I've only been there once before, I had a stereotype it was going to be really unfriendly where no one spoke to anyone and might not be that enjoyable. Nothing could have been further from the truth, people could not have been nicer.

London, City of 1000 Languages and literally it was!

Stayed in Stratford from Wed-Fri, then Epsom Friday - Monday. A big thanks to Doobs who suggested Stratford and the Travelodge/ holiday inn's, it turned out to be a great choice and was significantly cheaper than central London, and was literally a 5 minute walk from Stratford centre.

On the day of the Tube Strike, Thursday iirc, was pretty bad, I knew there was a strike on but had little idea to the ramifications of this. I was told I would have to get the 25 Bus, the first 3 busses were mobbed and didn't event stop, was about to change plans then the next one came along, which I managed to get on, everyone packed in like sardines. Busses in London don't accept cash (!), utterly bizarre, the driver just told me to get on, the traffic was really slow especially getting closer to London, then the bus stopped the driver saying it was terminating early due to problems on the road. By this point traffic was pretty much grid locked, I asked someone how long it would take to walk to Leicster Square they said about an hour, felt it would be quicker walking than getting another bus so off I went. London Top Tip: If you are asking for directions pick someone in a suit!

Getting back that night, I left the Hippodrome about 8pm, it was a real shame, I had a massive stack, and the table was really juicy, but wanted to make sure I could get back to Stratford, plus I was walking about with a wad of £50 notes, so just wanted to get back safely! One of the poker players told me it was a 30 min walk to Liverpool Street Station, and that the train would only take 10 minutes from there. To cut a long story short, I might have got lost, but eventually found a bus that would take me pretty close to the station followed by a short walk. Eventually I got to LS station and the train only took 10 Mins, I was home safe! Another thing I was concerned about before going was safety, for some reason I thought it would be full of pick pockets, but have to say I felt totally safe in all my time in London.

Sat seen some of the touristy stuff, Houses of Parliament/ Downing Street, Big Ben, and the changing of the guard. A tourist walked up to one of the soldiers on guard, when the soldier shouted back as loud as, the poor tourist just about shat their pants, but was pretty funny! At Leicster Square there was a guy givin out leaflets for the London Comedy Club, was like £12 for 2 hours of Comedy. The Mc was "Inkey Jones", turns out he was the main act, it was so funny. The front row was a bunch of Essex punters and he systematically destroyed them for most of his time on stage, he was hilarious. There were 4 other acts who had about 10 minutes each, 3 of the 4 were pretty terrible, but still for £12 and 2 hours of comedy it was great value. If you are from London or nearby defo worth checking out.

Sunday went up to Brighton for the day. Really enjoyed London, and the Poker went really well too.

A big thing I wanted to do was see if I could play Live Poker for a sustained period of time. On the Thursday ended up playing for 6-7 hours, laterally I feel I was getting a bit tired/ not playing my best.

I'm going to sell 30% for 5x £55 (9pm) Bounty Hunters.

10%= £27.50, 5%= £13.75.

The last 15-20 £55 games didn't go amazing, but I didn't run particularly well.

I believe these games are great value for money. I won the DTD Micro game last night (longest ever MTT ive ever played!), and have been doing well overall. Part of it has just been watching videos on Run it Once, feel it always helps just hearing someone talk through their thought process or why they played a hand in a certain way.

It's only open to folk I know or have staked/ have staked me in the past, if you are interested if you can post in here or send me a pm, thanks.

                           I bet 800 and the player raises to 2k. The 4 is a total brick, it's really unusual for a player like this to check the turn with 2 pair/ straight/ set, then again this is also hardly ever a bluff, like its never AJ. He could have 10Q, some random bluffs, but in saying all that don't think it's ever a bluff. I called but it should have been a fold. He had 7 10 for the straight.
