BCPC PREMIER LEAGUE 1....WEEK EIGHT
« Reply #60 on: April 27, 2011, 23:30:47 PM »
This was only the 2nd 6-handed game so far this Season and only Tony Trippier had previously played one so far but for Steve Bayliff there would be no points as he failed to register on time, despite wearing the required attire of shorts and flip-flops (and a curly black wig  ;D ).


 That left a match-up of 2 of the top 3 and 3 of the bottom 4 but the man holding up the rest remains Clive Padden. He decided to shove over the top of Brian Yates" re-raise on a flop of   :3c:   6c   th  but with Brian holding   :3d:   :3h:   it was an easy call and Clive was drawing pretty thin with his   ac   qd  and although the   js  turn gave him outs, the river of   qh  sealed his fate.


 Paul Foy was refusing to let his BB get stolen at all tonight and he took two big pots off Brian before a limped pot saw all 4 go to the flop. The board came   kc   4h   4s  and it was bet at by Tony and Brian called.
 The turn of   tc   went check-check before Brian made a big overbet on the    4d  river which Tony called and flipped over   :2h:   kh  only to see Brian"s   :3d:   4c  give him quads !


 That left Tony short and on the day that he made day 2 of the GUKPT £300 event at Walsall for the BCPC, only to go out just short of the money to APAT's own John Miller, he was to see that this really was not his day when Brian called his pre-flop raise with   qh   jc  and when the board came   qc   qs   4s  Tony was a non-believer and shoved his remaining chips in the pot despite Brian leading out but his   td   tc  got no help and he was out in 4th place.


 Paul was playing possibly his best game of the Season while Rob Hewlitt was solid as ever but after losing a decent pot, he tried to squeeze a limped pot by shoving   8s   6s  and Paul called with   ac   6d  and the board was no help to Rob and so we were heads-up.


 This would prove to be a monsterous session lasting 205 hands. Both players took a slight lead but then decided to split the $100 prize, just before Paul took a commanding lead.
 Brian fought back by getting paul to call a river-shove holding a straight and gradually took the initiative back, shoving 3 times without reply before Paul took a stand with   6h   6c  and looked good against Brian"s   :3h:   :3d:  .....
but the Poker Gods were smiling on Brian tonight and he flopped the  :3s:  and that was enough to give him his 3rd victory of the season and take him back to the top of the Premier League 1 table.
3-3 is the new nuts  :-*

Will Young will make his return from holiday next Sunday while leader Brian Yates now sits out from the next 3 games.
Will is well placed with only 4 games played while Clive Padden, Mark Eagles and Steve Redfern all need to make an impression over the next few games if they are to avoid being tailed off.
 Steve Bayliff will also be frustrated at his failure to register in time tonight as he now sits out the next 2 games while Paul Foy will need to make his move in the next 3 as he then sits out 3 in a row.

BCPC PREMIER LEAGUE 1....WEEK TEN
« Reply #64 on: May 09, 2011, 11:52:42 AM »
Didn"t watch last night"s game due to a full screen of tables myself (!) but it was Mark Eagles who made his first cash and got his first win to move himself up into the play-off zone and give himself a real chance of making the live final in June.

1st - MARK EAGLES.....10 PTS + $100
2nd - Steve Bayliff.......7 pts
3rd - Paul Foy.............4 pts
4th - Andy Overton......2 pts
5th - Rob Hewlitt.........1 pt
6th - Aneurin Venables (did not play)

Andy Overton will have been disappointed with his 4th place finish and he is now under pressure with just 2 games left to play and will need a good result in Wednesday"s 9-handed game as he then sits the next 3 out before everyone plays the final game on June 1st.
 Rob Hewlitt has also played 8 games and he too could be left hanging on if results go against him while Paul Foy and Aneurin Venables need to make a move soon or they could be out of the reckoning.
 Both Tod Wood and Clive Padden have had disappointing seasons but with games in hand, they could yet have a shot at the play-offs with Clive now the only player yet to cash.
 Will Young and Tony Trippier are the only players to have scored points in every game they have played and along with Brian Yates, they have all been in the top 3 since week 2.

BCPC PREMIER LEAGUE 1....WEEK ELEVEN
« Reply #71 on: May 12, 2011, 17:00:10 PM »
We are now getting to the business end of the first BCPC Premier League season and what a great game we saw last night and by the end of it, all 12 players were left with something to play for with just 4 games left until the live Finals in July.

The winner of the previous game had been Mark Eagles and the 10 points gained then had lifted him into a play-off spot but he got the harshest of lessons in why you don"t slow-play your sets tonight.


With 3 players in the pot on a flop of    jc   qd   :2h:  Mark was holding   qs   qh  but he failed to re-raise Will Young and did the same on the   5h  turn so when the    ks  hit the river Will was a happy bunny holding   ts   9s  and Mark exited in 9th and moved out of the top 8.


At the first break, both Andy Overton and Tony Trippier were struggling while Clive Padden held the chip-lead as he went in search of his first cash of the season and it would be Andy and Tony, both players who are sitting comfortably in the top 4, who would be the next two to exit and score zero points.


The man who took them both out was Tod Wood, himself now struggling at the foot of the table and looking for vital points.
  When Tony got the chips in pre-flop holding    ah   jd   Tod made the call with   ad   th    but it looked for all the world like Tod had escaped with a split-pot as the board came    4s   6d   4h   6c  until the   td   sent Tony to the rail and out of the points for the first time ever.


For Andy this was a night to forget. He hardly played a hand and when he did he lost, so when he picked up
  :as:   ks     it was an easy shove, but even then his luck was out as Tod woke up with   qc   qh  and with the board coming down  J-high, Andy was gone in 7th.


Tod now had the taste for blood and got it on an innocuous looking   9h   5h   :3s:  flop. Tod bet, Steve Bayliff raised and Tod shoved. Scouse dwelt for a while before calling with   ah   8h  against Tod"s    9s   5c  and when the board ended with   jc   qd  Scouse became another notch on Tod"s lengthening list of conquests.


Aneurin Venables has so far fallen asleep when heads-up, forgotten to turn up at all last Sunday and tonight he was late due to a bowls game (!).....but he did make the points but shoving with   :2d:   jd  maybe wasn"t the best idea, even on a   6d   :2s:   7c  flop against Clive Padden"s   qd   9c  as a   9d  on the river saw him leave in 5th place.



That  left us with 2 guys in the top 4 (Brian Yates and Will Young) taking on the bottom 2 (Clive and Tod) and it was Brian who was first at risk but his   :as:   ks   outflopped Tod"s   jh    jc  to give him a double-up but when Will had the same hand against Clive"s   qc   qd  he was not so lucky and left in 4th, although with enough points to keep his grip on the lead of the Premier League.


So all 3 players were in the money but Brian was seriously short so seeing Tod raise, Brian insta-shoved his            :as:   ac     and Tod had the odds to call with his   jd   ts   . A  th   on the flop gave Tod hope but the     tc  on the river gave him another knockout.



That meant that the bottom two in the League were now Heads-Up and whoever won, that meant that the League points would now tighten up and make for an exciting climax to the Season.


The pivotal hand came with Tod shoving his   ad   6c   and Clive making the call with   5s   5h  and the   5c  meant that Clive was our winner to make his first cash of the season.


POS                                PLD   PTS   CHIPS   CASH   LG ODDS
1    WILL YOUNG               7       45    9000     $238     9-4
2    BRIAN YATES              6       42    8400     $266     9-4
3    ANDY OVERTON           9       36    7200     $224     6-1
4    TONY TRIPPIER           8       34     6800      $36     4-1

5    ROB HEWLITT             8       31     6200     $32      8-1
6    STEVE BAYLIFF           7       27     5400     $98      6-1
7    TOD WOOD                7       26     5200     $126    10-1
8    STEVE REDFERN          6       25     5000     $170     6-1

9    ANEURIN VENABLES     8       22                 $96      ---
10   MARK EAGLES             7       21                 $100    16-1
11   PAUL FOY                  8       20                 $104    ----
12   CLIVE PADDEN            6       18                 $90      20-1

The next game is 6-handed on Wednesday May 18th.
That will see 3 of the top 4 in action as Will, Tony and Brian lock horns once more and the pressure will be on Tony, playing his penultimate game of the Season.
 Steve Redfern has the games in hand to get moving up the table while this week"s top 2, Tod and Clive, return to try and repeat last night"s fine performance.

BCPC PREMIER LEAGUE 1....WEEK TWELVE
« Reply #72 on: May 18, 2011, 23:02:33 PM »
A tough 6-handed game tonight involving 3 of the top 4 players and with the pressure on 4th-placed Tony Trippier who was playing  his penultimate game of the season.
Tony made a terrific starts and took down several decent pots in the opening 2 levels but it was Steve Redfern who took the advantage away from him when he raised with   ad   ks  and got a call from Clive Padden with   qs   jd  .  The flop was

qc   tc   5c  and both players checked.  When Clive bet the   jh  turn, Steve shoved and Clive called and the   9c  river saw Clive out and still rooted to the bottom of the table.



So with Tony and Steve doing battle to be Table Captain maybe it was inevitable that they would bang heads sooner rather than later.  Tony made a pre-flop raise, Steve 3-bet and Tony 4-bet shoved all-in. Steve dwelt before calling with his   js   jh  and was probably shocked to see Tony"s   ks   qs  and when the board came down 8-high, Tony was out with just 1 point to leave his top-4 spot in jeapody.



There then followed an amazing hand. Steve was discussing the previous hand with Will Young when he raised, Tod Wood 3-bet and Steve called. The board came   9c   5h   4c  and went check-check.
 Steve, still talking about the previous hand said "I would have loved the  :2h:.....just as the    :2h:  hits the turn, which prompted much laughter all round. Tod then bet, Steve raised and Tod shoved his   ac   ad1  ...only for Steve to reveal   :2s:   :2d:  and the  :2c:  on the river wrapped it up, to which Steve commented "I said I loved the 2 of hearts !"



3-handed and there were several scenarios.....If Will went out next he would lose the leadership of the League to Brian while Steve needed to win to oust Tony from the top 4.
 Will was the short-stack but doubled-up with a flopped flush against Steve to put all 3 players close to even in chips.
 Then came Will"s prophetic comment "You two are too tight...I am gonna have to cooler you"

 The VERY NEXT HAND, Steve raised and Will called to see a flop of   4s   :3h:   qd.  It went check-check and likewise on the   ah  turn but when the   qs  hit the river Steve bet, Will raised, Steve 4-bet and Will shoved with his

qc   th  only for Steve to reveal he had raised pre-flop with...... :2d:   5d  



A long Heads-Up ensued in which Steve held the upper hand throughout but the final hand was a little harsh when Brian raised and Steve called and on a flop of   :2h:   7d   8d  Brian insta-shoved his   8s   qh  and got Steve to call with the inferior   ts   8h  . The   jh  turn was no help but the   th       river gave Steve victory and pushed him right up into the play-off zone at Tony"s expense.

12   CLIVE PADDEN            7      18                $90       66-1

This Sunday"s game could be the last-chance saloon for several players as 4 of the bottom 5 go to war in an attempt to edge into that play-off zone.
 New leader Brian Yates (6-4) can secure a place at the Final Table with a 3rd place finish or better but he will be up against the in-form Steve Redfern (5-4) who will look to consolidate his top-four spot.
 The battle at the bottom will be led by Steve Bayliff (5-2) for whom a win could re-kindle realistic hopes of a top 4 finish. Aneurin Venables (3-1) probably needs a top 2 finishwhile both Mark Eagles (7-2) and Clive Padden (11-4) both have 3 games left but need to get some points on the board from this one.

It really has been a fantastic first season and there is still a realistic possibility of all 12 players having a chance of the play offs on the final night.
