Never got the 'Best of British' thing until I just Googled it!
Seems a tad harsh!

I will stick with, Good Luck Rich!

Really? Assumed it was just one of those sayings, an alternative to "VBOL".

From the Cambridge Dictionary website

Best of British
Used to ​wish someone ​luck, ​especially when you do not ​think they have much ​chance of ​success or ​happiness:
You're going to ​ask her ​father for ​money? Best of British, ​mate!

[tikay]

Bugger.

[StuartHopkin]

Bugger.

Ha ha!
I thought it was quite fitting.

29.5k at end of first break going back 100/200 on a now full table that I am fairly happy with as am the 4th youngest for starters but I have the two younger guys and so far decent players to my immediate left.

We play 8 levels today and in 1b there are 393 players so far

[Eso Kral]

Old guy who just won a big pot opens utg and we 3b AKss to 1050 over 400 open and young guy MP 4 s to 2800 and we peel but check fold a 23Jcch flop

Then 25mins into 1/200/25 we peel an utg open to 500 with AKo from utg2 and see a flop vs villain of AJ2rb and call a cb of 650 to see a 9 turn and again just call a bet of 1750 and an off suit Q rivers and after a tank the villain bets 2900 which I fold to leaving us 23k

[Eso Kral]

21k after open AQss utg to 500 and old guy otb who has just been crippled in a pot goes all in for 2.2k total and we call off losing vs AKdd

Still over 100 bbs with 27 mins of level left

[Eso Kral]

I'm hopefully going to moan in a double up here as pretty much all trip I have had really poor run outs when we have a hand and haven't been gifted chips in any pots whilst seeing others dust off stacks everywhere.
We open cutoff to 500 with QKdd and just the bb calls to see a 1074ddx flop which Bb check raises my 600cb to 1800 and we peel with the coming on the turn. Bb continues with the lead betting 2800 which again we call and the 10h rivers with him snap setting me all in which I obv fold to.

3 hands later the same villain opens co to 500 and gets peeled by button and an older gent who we have an incredible read on (he does his thing before betting) to 3000 with just the villain calling and they see a K104 flop which the older gent cbs 4000 and is quickly called with them seeing an offsuit 5 turn which the gent jams setting in the younger guy who snaps him off with 45cc drawing dead to KK.

16k at second break going back to 150/300/25

[rfgqqabc]

Made a day 2 with 16k in Barca having been up to 60k. I don't think I played a hand in the last 2 hours and lost 4k or so. You have all the time in the world.

[celtic]

Wouldn't  worry mate, like you say, you haven't had good run outs all trip (that must be almost two comps now).

You must be due.

[pleno1]

Yeah it's just about making day 2. 16k heaps. Just had a walk over to your table and it looks great.

[Eso Kral]

Yeah I know!

Anyway were still struggling along and just lost 2 pots back to back first one where an Italian guy in his 50s opens to 725 at 300bb and we defend 77 in the bb from 14k going 2 way to a Q56rb board which he bets 1300 into which I call and a 4 turns which I check and he now bets 2400 which again I feel I have to call but we brick off on the J river and he checks behind with us losing to AQ.

Next hand Kuli Sidhu who has just arrived and joined our table opens to 650 from utg1 and we find QKss in the sb and make up as does the bb and we see K69 flop with one spade which both I and the bb check and Kulli bets 1150 which we call and the turns with us check folding to a 2400 bet

7.8k with us just starting level 6 which is 2/400/50

[Eso Kral]

The last 75 minute level went pretty much the same and was typified by me opening to 900 utg with AQss off 6.2k and the bb coming along and flopping J87 all hearts and ended up checking flop behind and folding when he led the 5 turn and was followed by an hour of folding except two hands one where I jammed 11bigs otb with 1010 and both blinds folded and another where I jammed 9bigs with QQ in early pos and it folded thru.

Now at dinner break and go back to 3.6k with us in the sb and blinds 2.5/500/50. If we could find a couple of doubles I would be relatively happy on my table but just need to find two cards close together!

[Eso Kral]

Busto unfortunately

We're utg 1 and have 3150 at start of hand and ship 56cc which gets round to the bb who even though he has chunks reluctantly calls with A2ss and we see a flop of A7Jccx turn a to give us more outs but a brick river knocks us out


Sorry if it sounded like I was moaning earlier I just really hoped to get a cash of sorts out here to complete my year and am always disappointed to brick a package more so for my backers than me!

Thanks for the opportunity of playing this guys I enjoyed the experience.

Cheers
