Last minute DTD Grand Prix, 40% @ 1.00

[baldock92]

Hi guys,

Now the amateur festival that is the WPT is over the big dogs are out to play in the Grand Prix at DTD. This super hiroller event is £90 buy in with a guarantee of £250,000, first place guaranteed at £30,000. Also the top 50 get a £550 seat which, if I were lucky enough to get one, you would also have a piece in for a future event.

I will be firing up to 4 bullets and most probably playing live day 1's today (Monday 7th November) and Wednesday, but nothing is set in stone as of yet. I thought it might be fun and hopefully give a few of us a small sweat.


Whilst I'm not claiming to be an extraordinary player, I am a profitable live player at low stakes, even if this is over a relatively small sample. The grand Prix tournaments have always been great for value due to lots of inexperienced players satelliting in for very little.

I haven't played an MTT for over a year now, due to being overseas, but have kept my game fairly fresh by playing various cash games on my travels


I'm selling up to 40% with no mark up for a total of £144, and I will be playing regardless of whether I sell sod all.  10%= £36.


Here's a link to my hendonmob, missing a few results totalling another 2k ish for some unknown reason. And as previously mentioned, the reason for it being very blank the last 12+ months is due to me not having played an MTT.

Morning George.

I don't buy a lot of action these days, but you've been a loyal supporter & contributor to Fred & never caused us a spot of bother, so I'd like to take 20% please, which is £72.

If you sell out & other regulars want a piece, I'll happily reduce my stake to give others a chance.

I'll need your Bank Details, please, PM them to me & I'll ship the cash immediately.

Good luck mate, & most of all, enjoy.

Morning Tikay,

Thanks for the quick response and nice comments. I can't imagine everyone will be fighting over 20% of action for a daft lad from Staffordshire but we shall see!

I'll PM bank details now.

Thanks again.

Just register. Table 22 seat 7 if anyone is around.

[baldock92]

Pretty good start going into the first break, up to 240k from 100k starting. Pretty comfortable on the table. Only one real hand of note:

Level 3 with blinds of 750/1500/150ante.

Im on the button, All involved have around 100k.

There are 2 mid position limpers. I Raise to 6200 with QsJh. BB calls and has been very active, made a few strange river bluffs trying to chip up early, and is already complaining he's  below average. He bluffed me in a previous hand and showed it, got a pretty good read from that hand and various others.

Flop 742ccx. He donks 7200 quickly, I raise to 19.500. He snaps.

Turn . He then checks, I bet 25k which is snap called.

River . He snap bets 40k. Previously when he bluffed he was snap betting then looking me down. I tanked for around a minute then flicked it in. Probably a bad call but had to go with my read.

[baldock92]

Level 5 I managed to find QQ vs JJ vs TT and held. Managed to chip up to around 370k.

Weird first hand on a new table. utg I raise to 7200 with TsTc at 1500/3000/300. Round to the BB who throws in a couple of 5k chips and the tries to pull his blind out to make it a call. Dealer states the raise stands obviously.  I Raise to 28k and the guy flats. He has roughly 100k behind.

I bet 30k on the flop of 543ssx, he makes it 85k. I decide to ship the rest in and he shows AK. Pretty good shape. He turns a king and I miss the river.


Pretty brutal orbit or 2 losing AQ vs AQ and a few other small ones.

A few hands later I get 99 in on a flop of 567 against 88 and the turn is a 4 and I'm out.

Pretty crazy first bullet. Not sure how it came crashing down so quickly but here we go again, bullet 2 fired.

[baldock92]

Ran worse the 2nd bullet. 4th hand in run AQhh into AA on a QT3hh flop and didn't improve. Hopefully things improve wednesday!
