Walter Payton Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Did anyone else play the GPS at the Circus a week or two ago? I did, it was the worst I've ever run in a tournament. Dealt big pocket pairs continually (some that turned into sets) and was at a table of calling stations. Sounds great, but every draw they decided to call with got there on the river :-( I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I got called down 3 times when somebody had just the gutshot draw with me betting about 3/4 pot on flop and turn and each time it got there. The most frustrating thing? They weren't even good to get proper value on the river when their draws got there! It could have been a really good table draw but it just never turned out that way. I eventually went out after being dealt pocket Jacks UTG. At 150,300 (ante of 25 or 50, can't remember!) I made it 1000 (i started the hand with about 16,000) and got callers from the cutoff and SB, so about 4k in the pot. Flop comes 10,6,3 rainbow, SB checks and I bet 3,500. Cutoff folds and SB calls. Turn's the Queen of spades, putting two spades on the board. Not thinking it was a danger card but knowing how bad I was running I decided to just try and take it there so move all in. SB says he's prepared to gamble (he only just had me covered) and calls, turning over 2,6s. The river was a 6... Great structure to the tournament though, I'll definitely play it again next year.

Larry Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I didn't have any money on FT so haven't kept in touch with latest news. Has there been any progress? Some French guy nearly bought the company. It was meant to be that he was going to relaunch the site and take responsibility for the money owed to the rest of the world players, and that the Department of Justice was to take responsibility of the money owed to US players...something like that anyway....But the deal fell through a couple of months ago. Now there is a rumour about Pokerstars buying it. Think it's just time to accept that it's gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyeyespy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Ended up going to the casino last night, was there for 9 but the 50p-50p cash table didnt open till 11:30 although all the other cash tables were open earlier. Anyway only took ?40 and ended up walking away with ?354.50. That was with me tipping the dealers for about ?20 throughout the night including ?9 at the end for my good run, which is quite good considering some other players dont tip much at all. Lost ?23 on my last hand but also took a big hit early on with AK against A4 with the other guy hitting two pair and took me for ?60. Had to grind hard as there was some good players.

He opened to 80,000 and got calls from Vladislav Donchev (button), Chris Derrick (small blind) and Nicolau Villa-Lobos (big blind). The dealer fanned a 5?7?9? flop, Vamplew c-bet 160,000 and Donchev was the only caller. The two of them then checked down the 5? turn and J? river Vamplew showed 4?4? which was good to take the pot. The players are now on a 15 minute break, we'll be getting official chip counts during it. -- NW 12.55pm: Jamie Sykes eliminated in 6th place (?17,000) This is fast becoming the David Vamplew show. He just got somewhat lucky to eliminated the dangerous Jamie Sykes is a cold hand. Sykes opened the pot with an under the gun raise to 85,000 and Vamplew three-bet to 183,000. The action was back on Sykes who four-bet to 325,000 then called all in for around 1,200,000 chips when Vamplew shoved. Sykes: K?K? Vamplew: A?K? The 5?T?7? was safe for Sykes. The J? turn opened up half the deck for Vamplew's hand now and prompted Sykes to say. "You have far too many outs, you have to miss!" The river fell as A? to send a spike through Syke's house. He took the loss well and wished everyone luck. As he walked off we heard him say, "Yawn" to his railing buddy, Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody.

Bigsmak Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Lass is on holiday, so went swimming after work last night and had an urge to go to the casino after. ?13 buy in with ?20, ?20 top ups.. Spent ?33. With 26 players left I had about 155 of the chips. I had about a quarter of them hitting the final table with one other player with another quarter.. The blinds rose quick and the anti's were high and the other players were letting the blinds walk..(so weak) So I got aggressive and was betting every second hand, any position, the other big stack was poor, eg. On his big blind someone pushed all in against him for about 40k. He had 200 behind him and he folded and showed an A... What a weak play.. I would have had it in so fast the table would be smoking in that situation.. He was like.. o I might have been behind, statistic. blah blah blah.. Its trournament poker and you play the chip stacks and the players.. its not a cash game.. So that annoyed me.. 4 left (I was miles ahead and the other big stack is now acting after me.. I raise every hand and everyone folds.. It was great. I felt great... Looked down at AK on my small blind, raised about 4 x BB and the boy pushed all in.. I called, he had AQ and he hit his Q... I doubled him up and all of a sudden it was even.. I took out the 4th player as I just kept pushing and it was 4am and I was to be at work at 8. Bearing in mind I live 50 mins drive away.. Oooops.. So I offered them a 3 way split.. SO got ?600 and they threw in a seat for the ?110 game this weekend... Good result for my first trip to the card room for about 18 months! I am knackered today.. had to work till 8pm... eeeek. Still.. should be fun on Saturday. Edited March 26, 2013 by Bigsmak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
