Broadway Fessie, Part 1

[tikay]

The £100 Rebuy took place on Wednesday night - 120 runners, with 20+ reserves!

Got a nice surprise when I registered too - no juice. Way to go. AND a free buffet - whahoo!

Names included Micky Wernick, ActionJack, Bambos, Ash Pervaiz, Ian Oldershaw, Greek Jack, & heap of blondes.

1 hour clock, blinds begun at 25-50, 2k starting chips.

Hard to fault The Broadway, they got everything pretty much spot on, though one tinsy winsy criticism is that they squeezed 120 runners into space for 100, & it was VERY cramped. But it's either that, or turn peeps away.  Tricky call.

Wolfy was in command, heaven help us, but it all seemed to go smoothly.

LOVELY atmo, must be said.

Word of warning - if you are playing in their comps, you have to leave the cardroom if you want to use your Moby, even if it is just for texts. I almost got red-carded by a very stern-faced dealer!

The big names start arriving tonight, including El Blondie, Iwan Jones, etc.

I played  like an absolute donkey, & after an 8pm start, managed to catch the 11.10pm train home, with an hour to spare.....

I managed to flop top pair & took off, not suspecting Matey Boy was holding a topper pair - AA in fact. Rebuy.

One orbit later, same guy UTG makes it 100 to go, with Blinds at 25-50. "Aces again" we all speculate? We all limp, like lambs to th slughter, including me with the monster  .

We see this flop.

 

Matey Boy takes off, & I am pretty sure he has the Aces. But I reckon with my gutshot & flush draw, I'm not far short of even money here, & it's a rebuy. In go the chips. He has the Aces, I miss Rebuy! But, in a rebuy, I think it was the correct play.

We end the rebuys, & I pick up  .

Flop is  .

I decide to Trap-Check my oppo, & he walks right into my cunning trap, moving all-in, & I beat him into the Pot. He shows  .

Taxi!

Werll done to The Broadway. I hope the rest of the Fessie goes as well as last night, they are a class venue.

The original plan was to have the Mezzanine area as the second cardroom for overspill and cash games, giving plenty of space to all. I now see why Bluewolf seemed slightly stressed on msn as I know thats what he would have wanted as well   120 in there does seem to be a bit much as when we went to 10 tables it was a squeeze.

[SharkRut]

Couple of small moans regarding the Broadway, accepting that its a fantastic venue & the staff were mostly very helpful. 118 players but only paid top 9 so players like myself, played till 4.30AM go out 13th & not even the cursory 100 quid to cover expenses. Tournament clock software is great but it must be kept updated so that it is more use than just telling us what the blinds are & how long is left on a level. Also thought the "away from the table" rule was a little fastidious. If your away for 3 hands you are blinded !! if your not sat in your seat your cards are taken away. Imagine the scene on my table, quite well known brummie player stands up to take his cardigan off while in the big blind. He sits back down & his cards have been whipped away as he wasn't sat in his seat !!!!!!! I laughed a lot but he didn't & he voiced his opinion on the matte with vigour !! to no avail might I add. Apart from those little whinges I like the idea of no juice. So well done broadly speaking Broadway & hopefully with the help of Blonde you can keep us informed with results as soon as they happen.

[The Truth]

think the bums on seats thing is a bit harsh - due to an arthritic spine i find sitting too long in one position painfull and often stand. Guess I won't be visiting the broadway anytime soon - shame as I have only heard good things about the place.

Just got back from Broadway, made last four tables only.

Red-dog had just got a reasonably playable stack, Iknowit was still going too, as was Slim shady and Splash.

Must agree that two tables should be paid with 120 runners

[BlueWolf]

whoi only paid 9 places??? think you may have been at wrong club only 1 venue in mids pays 9 places and it aint us 10 prizes were paid out.

Although i do agree 100 plus really should make 20 prizes but alas it wsadsnt to be.

Does that mean that there are no Blonde finalists in the £300 Wolfy ?

[I KNOW IT]

Ive made it to last 18, albeit with only 17k but blinds are only 800 1600, so who knows after I only had 1100 at the 300 600 level

Good luck this afternoon !
