Haven't seen Hachem's name anywhre ,does he not plkay this ?

I presume he hasn't entered. I don't think Raymer is playing either, based on the fact he's criticising the structure over at the 2+2 forums.

Could you sort us out with a link for this thread? Wouldn't mind a read of what people think of the super slow structure.


Hello Dave,

good to see you posting here mate.

Hi, its the break after level 2 and at least I'm still in, have 41k in chips, had an accident when I raised with  and the button called. Flop  (nice), I bet 800, he calls, next card  two hearts (nice), I lead out again 1600, he flat calls. River  , a very bad card vif he has TJ, like a donkey I bet 5k, he RR to 15k and I pass my top pair (he shows a - WTF). What a donkey........... I have only won one decent pot all day and that was with 23 offsuit.

been a bad hand, I bet on the come every street and missed by flush. Not playing that hand again today.

Anyway, gotta get back, treally rying not to tilt, everyone is playing so tight and I cant get any chips............









Rob - No need to get chips so early in this tournament, i think it doesn't make much difference if you go into day 2 with 200k or 100k. i had a little look at the structure and its fantastic. No need to make silly plays or bluff unnecessarily.

Best of luck mate, i hope you go deep, it would be a great confidence booster. Gl to Grundy aswell, lets see some British final table action!!

gutshots said Ben Grundy has 36k, not entirely sure how recent it is though.

Looks like I was beaten to it. I think I may have misled you though. Raymer's concerns were more about the tourney rake amount.

Grundy has 35k.

He said Kiril won a 100k pot when both players had nut st and Kiril was freerolling to the flush.
