Virgin Poker Festival

[Waz1892]

finished 109th out of the 206.  only 3rd live tourny other ones being APAt Newcastle and Edin Season 1.  99 vs A6 on a flop of a62 rainbow.  BB(A6) checked his BB, so i didnt believe he had the ace, so pushed in for stack...he had the ace!.. I"ll learn, but was getting towards small stack.

I arrived at 13.30pm, sat at bar, near the WII bowling, waiting for guiness and pink umbrella requests....

Very very disappointed there was no Guinness

Had me on tilt from the word go!! Well actually from before the word go... from 1.00pm when I got there.  :"(

As for the tournament; my usual rollercoaster ride, had upto just under 20k chips (from 10k start) and back down to about 8k twice in the first two 40 min levels... had around 13.5k at the dinner break (2nd shift).

The end when it came was so memorable that I don"t actually remember how it happened or just what time it was. (Actually, I do remember; but no one wants to hear bad-beat stories do they?  )

the no guinness bit affected me so much i went out in the first 10

made a big call with QQ at level 2 when i knew i was basically flipping on the flop for a 23k pot and got rivered by AK.

nice venue - terrible choice of drinks

Well played Luke.

They say it only happens on line AA v KK v JJ  3 way chop with a straight on the board!

It would seem all the hands dealt on our table were down the far end to us, we were all card dead our end.I saw my 74k stack dwindle and dwindle, i had nothing to play all afternoon best hands i saw were pk 2"s...folded to a re-raise from the "lucky lady" and pk 8"s on the button i folded to an utg all in.

If only we could have played a few more levels Saturday night when i was getting cards and hitting flops hard....might have been a different story.You sort of get a feeling its your day when you play  :: from the big blind and win a monster pot hitting a flush on the river!

I thought that was you but wasnt so sure! 4 2 of spades, what a hand!

I know what you mean in relation to the cards. It was just so frustrating. Quite funny that none of us at our end of the table received anything really playable! the other side was just a different story. plus that lady just kept hitting every hand!

Are you playing at the next event in Manchester? If you are then I will see you there!

can"t make the Manchester leg......got an appointment with father christmas!
