£50 Deepstack Freezeout - 4/49 (even chop 4 way)

Well, the polar opposite of the above. Endless moaning seems to do it.

Was never all-in over the course of the tournament. Never had to get lucky at showdown, won most of my chips post-flop - for once when people played terribly against me they didn"t get there in unbelievable fashion. If I had a slightly marginal situation things would be on my side (i.e. 3bet AJ, get peeled by AT).

I.e. 400/800 Loose UTG limps (15k), UTG+1 (30k) limps, I limp UTG+2 (50k) with 99. Tight button (14k) dwell raises to 3400. Blinds fold and both limpers call. With over 10k in the middle I don"t mind taking the deal money and hopefully flipping with the button, so I effectively jam by re-popping to 36k. Button tank folds TT, UTG folds and UTG+1 snap calls his above average 40BB stack...with ATo.

Obviously I"m horrified, but actually win the flip (the only one of the four I would actually beat at showdown too). I"m staggered. 70k pot and I"m up to 90-100kish.

Went to FT as chipleader, didn"t really see much, got to about 350k at max but then went card dead for about half hour. When an even chop was proposed I wasn"t going to turn it down when I was the short stack - though we were all pretty close.

Took £545, and am stoked that the stake is in profit already. Dead chuffed as it"s my first half decent score for time!

Sorry mate just seen this vwp

Cheers mate.

At least with Saturday disappearing I think you"re all guaranteed 90% ROI or something (based on some v quick calcs!).

[GiMac]

I"m happy for you to carry the Saturday game over to the next Saturday if everyone else is.

If I can play remotely from Wembley, bring it

In all seriousness, I can play another Saturday - but this wouldn"t be until mid-late June. This comp doesn"t have a guarantee on it so runners are erratic, but nothing massive should clash so it"s possible though the stake would have to stay open for 2-3 weeks. Casino has dropped other guarantees as GUKPT Pompey is clashing.

If you can all vote on:

- Refund
- Play another Saturday 3+ weeks away
- Put the budgeted entry towards a Thursday £50 deepstack freeze, can do this 1st week of June.

Since you chopped the £50 freezeout last week, I would vote for that then.

Have dropped the others a PM to alert them.

Happy to play a later Thursday - though on the proviso that I"m not working the Friday. I don"t expect I will be as I run worse at jobs than I do at poker - but I am actively looking at the moment and have some irons in the fire.

[Curlarge]

I"m easy Dave, just go with whatever the majority or you prefer.

[Erimus]

As above just play whichever is most convenient for yourself.

Whatever, just ship it!!!

Wed 22nd May - £20+5 Deepstack Turbo - 26/31

Cheap, crapshooty tournament - not that I got to the crapshooty part!

Dreadful table to start, uber stations to my left. Picked up a couple of AQ"s, 55 on 884 and 75 on A6493 - unfortunately couldn"t get paid on the latter as the lovely old lady 100% knows I"m only reraising near nuts against her when she fires. From 11k starting stack I get up to 13.5k at the break.

Drop to 11k iso-raising A8 against two limpers. JT8 board smashes the only callers range in the face.

Same guy then opens to 800 at 150/300 out of a 12k stack from the HJ. I 3bet to 2200 with A9dd out of my 11k stack. Villain flats.

Flop Qh 5d 2d

Villain checks, I bet 3200 leaving about 5.5k behind - so obviously never folding. Doesn"t stop him shoving KTo! I obviously snap and the Ts immediately binks the turn with the Jh on the river being no help.

At least this hilarity is easier to take having binked one of the earlier tournaments.

[dwh103]

Have also browsed the upcoming schedule. I can play an extra £50 freeze as originally stated, or...

On Sat 7th June there"s a "link" game between Reading, Southampton, Portsmouth and Brighton. Day 1 is played in each casino, £50+6 with one rebuy or add-on. Top 10% go through to day 2 to be held at Portsmouth. £15,000 guarantee.

These link games are usually held between Southampton and Portsmouth only and they alone normally take £15-17k. With the other two venues it should crack £25k easily.

There are plenty of refunds due from unused lives/re-entries - more than enough to cover the entry plus R/A for this. Even if I can"t make it back to Southampton then Reading is within shooting distance, this should be uber value so I can try and make it for this if I can and if everyone is happy?

Ahead Go - rearrange these words  

[Erimus]

Sent pm, as Ger stated, it just do, a second puzzle for the evening, gl.

[GiMac]

Fine with I this am.  

You can always send back the monies due retaining the £112 for this if you don"t want to hang onto the monies.
