At the circus casino monday, Had AA KK and QQ and did not win with any of these hands. Also went on fri, had better luck but went out with 10,10 against KK

Won the tourney at the Circus last Monday, going back for another payday tonight. The Circus needs to change it up though, either make it ?13 plus two buy-ins or just make it ?33 with one buy-in, too many people are coming in for just the 3 quid and not spending another penny.

 

Definitely heading up for the Office ?100 game, hopefully dealers are sorted for it.

The Office poker ?100 game will be 100% dealer dealt. Most of the dealers have already been sourced for it or being sourced.

 

I can't make it cos its the burds birthday but looks like it is going to be well attended. Registration is open at the Circus cash desk.

 

I was joint 2nd at the 6 max office poker on Sat which sets me up nicely for the Scottish APAT in Aberdeen on Sat.

Na i think the free poker is a great way to get new players along to the casino, I think the majority of folk dont grudge paying the ?30 buy in when knocked out. Its not a huge problem for me as i just appreciate getting out for a wee game.

Good stuff, I've never made it up to an Office game yet but only ever heard good things about them. Told a lot of people about the ?100 game so it should be well attended. Good luck for Saturday, you got a link for what's on? There was something on at Aberdeen the weekend just there too, 150, 200 and 300 games, my mate went up for the 300 game, said it only got 30 players but they were all brutal haha.

They do, 108 players last night and only 70 odd buy-in's from 216, diabolical! I came 8th last night, shipped it in the small blind with AQ suited for 70k and the big blind snapped off for his tournament life with pocket 2's, pretty bad call if you ask me but ah well, always next week!

 

 

Well played.

You certainly do, if me and Tommy can keep winning these donkaments then you certainly can haha!

There is a ?75 game on the Sat and a ?250 PLHE game on sunday. 100 players have registered so far. 120 seats. These normally sell out pretty quickly but cos its Aberdeen the uptake has been pretty poor. The locals will have taken a few seats so the normal APAT standard may be lower than usual. :-)

I would have loved to if it didnt cost an arm and a leg to register. Get aces in ur first hand and get knocked out with someone hitting a set of kings. Great well worth the money lol. :woot:

Down to the last 27 of the WSOP main event and a Sky Poker player is still in there.

 

Lolufold who plays 1/2 and 2/5 on Sky aka Redmond Lee is now guaranteed a whopping $317,000.

 

Crazy stuff.

 

They play down to the November Nine tonight, hears hoping Lolufold can go all the way!!

Hello poker people.

 

Anything happening..?

 

Surprised Statto hasn't been on to regale his plans for his 50p to Vegas stunt that he has up and running on the sky forum.

 

For me I'm still in the same situation, nailing 50nl and a bit scared to move to 100nl although I have dabbled a bit more recently but it is alot tougher up there.

 

UKPT in Edinburgh soon, anyone playing any of it?

Yes, I'm planning to turn my 58p into enough to go to Vegas next year and play in a $1,500 WSOP side event.

 

I'm aiming to win ?1,800 in 9-10 months. Flights will be ?200-?600, accommodation will be about ?200 for the week, tournament entry will be ?1,000.

 

I had built up to ?10 yesterday and got a bonus ?5 for playing a real money game for 3 days last week, I've got one week to use that.

 

I'll be mainly playing the freerolls this month, hopefully if I can get at least one decent cash in one of them, that will allow me to play more real money games.

Got into the Sky League tourney at the weekend there as was in top 100 players for the month in terms of points gained.

 

Freeroll tourney it was with 10 seats to a ?200 + ?20 tourney on Sky later this month.

 

Managed to bag myself a seat for it :-).

 

Think the tourney is going to be covered on sky sports and obv 865. The tourney is capped at 50 players so small field for an 8k gtd tourney.

 

Heres hoping I go far!

I started the tourney supporting Holland, changed my username to Andreas Moller in support of the Germans before they papped England.

 

Wish I had taken you up on that bet now!

I played a couple of sick games tonight on sky.

 

I entered the ?22 bounty hunter at 11.45 and the ?11 game at midnight.

 

I knocked 3 people out of the BH, 3 got paid, the first hand of the final table (6) I had an A7, the small blind pushed, he had 4,500 chips (blinds at 300/600), he had pushed on our previous table a few times, his range was any two cards, I had 12,500 chips, if I win this hand, I have double what the 2nd placed player has in chips, there will be 5 left and I have a strong chance of winning this tournament and picking up a LOT of dead chips around the bubble. I call and he shows KQ. I flop the Ace, turn J, river T...

 

I still managed to reach heads-up, my final hand, I was down at around 6,000, my opponent with 30,000, I push with blinds at 400/800 with J9, I get a call, he shows T9, flop xx8, turn 7, river 6...

 

?51 for the 2nd place and ?24 for the bounties.

 

 

In my second game, I reached heads-up in this as well, the second hand heads-up, I'm on the button with pocket 10's, blinds at 500/1000, I have about 19,000, he has 57,000. I raise to 2,500, he calls, the flop is 568, he pushes all in, a blind man could tell you he has a 7 here, what would you do? I call, he shows J7, turn 4... over.

 

A nice ?91 for the 2nd place again, I'm just a bit gutted, I feel if that second heads-up match had lasted a bit longer I would have turned it around. Based on that, should I have folded? I'm level in chips if my hand holds with a great chance of winning the game although 40-50% of the time, I'm losing the hand.

 

 

I've just looked at the player's sharkscope, he has cashed for just under ?7K in MTT's on sky, he has cashed in his last 4 MTT's, winning in 2 of them (including the one tonight). Good results.

Just got a text from someone who has been helping set things up at the Corn Exchange and apparently the place is looking quality for this weekends UKIPT event. Nearly 200 have already registered for the ?500 main event so looking like the biggest prize pool for a poker event in Scotland. Plenty side events as well.

This was just a tournament I decided to play, not part of the 58p>Vegas thing, there was only 25 entered into the BH so ?500 in the pp, ?250 for the top 3, probably 50/30/20%, ?99 for 6 heads plus mine for winning it.

I'm sitting at ?11.57 but I'll be getting a ?5 bonus on Friday for a bonus offer I got, play 2 days and get ?5 to use for a week. I'll hopefully boost the bank with a decent cash or hopefully even a win.

 

 

I wish I'd started with a bit more than 58p now, it's difficult to find a game with a bit of value in it for ?1.10, it's mostly rebuys and "speed" games, it's only really the ?20 gtd's in the morning and mid-afternoon.

 

When I get my ?5, I'll probably go in for a ?2.20 deep stack and if they still have the "orfordable's" for ?3.30, I might go for that.

well you cant get much else for 58p (2 of em still dont get you on a bus) so a Vegas trip would seem a good deal :D

Made Day 2 in the UKIPT. I have 31900 with average at 41000. Blinds at 600/1200 100 Ante. Back to the grind on Saturday!

 

Its been great fun. Defo a step up from APAT and other games ive played. I think i have held my own, I made a couple of mistakes but the structure allows you to make the comeback. A few pros were playing today including Neil Channing, Marc Goodwin, Bepe fi Endenders lol.

 

The legend that is Jesse May is playing tomorrow I understand.
