Hi All
Just wondering if any of you will be playing this? I'm planning to play the Saturday day one, would be great to put a face to some names.

So... a lot of views, no one planning to play? On a random note, went to Aspers last night to play their £80 deepstack, engaged in conversation with a random fella who said he'll be playing it. Not played an event near this size since a couple of visits to DTD back in 2012, looking forward to it

Treating myself, end of January accrued overtime will be buying me in! Very much a 'shot', if I I'm knocked out within an hour then, well... **** happens. I do love the rush of playing a tournament that you probably really shouldn't, lol

Good luck. Full tournament report and updates welcome.
My favourite casino in the UK (because of the decor and history, rather than results or poker experience, I hasten to add)

think most London players will be playing GUKPT but the day 1b) UKIPT series you are playing may attract a spill over from those who exit so should be busy - hopefully i wont be playing therfore but will say hello in break as applicable

Thanks Tal, I promise a full report... may even throw in the odd picture for dramatic effect 🤔
I've never been there before, so it's predestined that I'll of course walk away with a shiny trophy (or just a tatty cheque).
Mr AB0151 - Cool, well I'll be on here during the tourney providing updates so if you're around let me know.
I remember the opening pages of Red Dog's diary, something along the lines of playing all arsed backwards. That may be my desired style of choice ... I may even stumble upon something approaching optimal play! 😮

Check out the cellar and make sure you read all the things on the walls. Some incredible history in the place.

Me too. Whenever I'm with a friend in town I often take them in for a drink/look around and they always think it's quite something

Alternative number 4 is ready, primed... and perhaps anti-GTO, day dreaming over the inevitable pile of cash to throw on his bed and roll around in tomorrow...

Thanks Pads, I feel I play with a degree of fear nowadays....
So, we drifted along for a couple hours until we found
:
300-600/50 ante
We're second under the gun, choose to limp (🙈) Playing around 16,000 as its been three bets galore.
Get 3-bet to around 3k, folds round, we jam, Kings...
Down to 3k, next hand shove Q-9 for a triple up.
Two hand later, one of the hands in the triple up hand who had shown a propensity for calling 'light' limps under the gun, call/call/call ... I go all in with
... SNAP call with the old
... Fold fold
Flop
😢☺️
That feeling of inevitability when you know a guy's hero call will win. The chap had me barely covered, but obvs loved them hearts
Next time, maybe?
