Online Stellite Tonight?

[Phil]

Did you win then?

[ericstoner]

so did u get there tikay?? ..... Or is there another BB story

[tikay]

No, I did not. Poo!

But I did a little Tourney Report, it should be on the Home Page lster today.

Read all about the "Bad Beat Protest"!!

[ericstoner]

He He told you there was a bad beat somewhare

[tikay]

It's up now, on the Home Page, top item.

And to make it worse, the so called "bad beat" protest arose from this hand.

Mr Angry is holding A-2, & calls a big R, which has already been called in another spot, so a 3 way pot. The other 2 hands are AJ suited (Stuart Fox) , & AJ. off (me). So at this point, Mr Angry is 26%, Stu Fox is 40%, & tikay is 34%. Hard to see how A-2 is gonna get a bad beat HERE then......

Flop is A-5-2, two diamonds.

Now it's much closer. Stru Fox is narrow favourite at 45.4%, Mr Angry is a nadge behind at 45.2%, & tikay is out with the washing at 9.5%%.

The J pairs, no more diamonds fall, & tikay gets lucky to split the pot with Stu. Ignoring tikay's luck here, or Stu's bad luck, by what reasoning has Mr Angry suffered a Bad Beat here - he was NEVER favourite!

And for THAT he went on a Bad Beat Protest & disrupted the game! Heaven help us all if that practice spreads. When asked who he was protesting about, he said "collins2" (Stuart). Stu's sin was to get involved with AJ suited against Mr Angry's A-2. Remember, Mr Angry CALLED the huge R & call pre-flop in two spots with A-2..... Gawd help us all if he ever suffers a REAL bad beat.....!

Hey Tikay I realy enjoyed that game last night was great fun. Ive read you write up, and as ever its a good read and you catcher the momenets well. The at guy who was on protest realy was funny,and when he got a real bad beat that knocked him out i was honestly rolling on the floor larthing. Ive never seen you play so agressive as you did last night in fact i was thinking maybee you have JT in the room with you  . When I put you all in its true I was holding k 10 off but I never took you for a AQ suited if so I would have folded, you raised a stange amount it was about 4.5x the sise of the big blind that just got me thinking you wanted to win the pot there and then and you would not commit to an all in I was thinking maybee you had a poket pair lower than , it was not at all a bad fold beacause I would have raised all in with ak which is what you read me for. Any way we all owe you a class of champers for being the top blondie. Well done.

[Maroon]

Great report, Tikay!  More of the same please, mate.

Well done all the Blondes.  I put Red Dog's result down to illness and poor diet. 

[tikay]

Thanks Stu. Your K-T v my A-Q. It's bugged me ever since!

Why did I raise that strange amount. Unfamiliar with blue square software, the raise button thingy baffled me. You could either raise 2,4, or 8 times the BB, or "Max". I could not find the "raise however much you want" button.

So my R was maybe 6k. You then went all-in for about 19k...OOh-er. You could not have AA or KK, I reasoned, but you could well have AK, which would leave me in awful shape. So I had to let it go, but suspicious that you were at it. Essentially, my balls were not big enough to risk exiting on calling a RR with AQ. I had plenty of chips, & thought I could wait to find a better spot. Code for you outplayed me, I'm afraid.

Given how much luck I enjoyed in the comp, it's troubled me all day that I only got 6th. Very disappointing. Everything turned the wrong way for me on the table - & maybe, & this is key, in my head too - after you outplayed me in that coup.

More aggressive than usual? The very first hand gave me confidence, when I moved all-in on a RRR with nothing except two overs, & got it through. Yes, much more aggressive. This is "new Tikay".

Be afraid. Unless you RR me of course......

Red Dog's result down to illness & poor diet? He can't play, more like.

[RED-DOG]

Ive paid a lot of attention to this talk of the "new tikay" and to Rob Yong's diary and Lawrence's bracelet win and a lot of other stuff, then something happend at walsall tonight helped me a great deal

Report to follow in a day or two

[tikay]

Wow - is that, ahem, after the Final.....?

Hope so. If so, Good Luck mate.

[RED-DOG]

Let me give you a clue, I only paid the blinds once

[tikay]

Oh no, I'm sorry mate. You did an Ariston - or worse, an Ironside?

[redsimon]

Great report Tony. Theres a last chance one this Friday (29th) 11pm. Feeder sats all week.

I believe though the prize is a buy in for The 5000 Main Event and exes not the "whole week".

btw, did anyone point out the "protester" called preflop with Acey Deucy? Bad beat? Bad play more like!

[tikay]

Correct Red - he called pre-flop  - been a R and a call - with A-2....!

I cannot play Friday, unless the Paris WPT finishes early, but if Brian Wilson Finas, he'll do the job nice & quick especially for me! If so, I'll have another bash - I really rather enjoyed Friday.
