I actually thought the NL 50 cash was very tough, so I changed up a level lol! didnt see too much value in the 50! well played people on those levels! boyle b 0wned me in one of the hands, well played
Ok as for results and how i did, night started off pretty bad losing 3 dyms, but gradually picked up. I thought i lost a lot of 50:50 type hands, cash and dym's. Cant complain though as got put in some nice spots as well which suited me.
Seems people talking a bit about my game selection. I thought about it a while before, and was planning on playing a very non exploitable game in cash (tight) and would not swing too much. Thought i had an edge and exploited it. Started by short stacking, then grew it up on the .5/1. I also thought i had an edge on the larger DYMs (50s) and thought they were infact easier to beat than the 20s. Wonder if anyone would like to comment on this? I find that higher limits people often are a lot more scared money, and therefore they seem to play poker which is a lot easier to read.
soo results:
DYM's- £12 - Played 1 Lost 1 Won 0 Net -12
£22 Played 1 Lost 1 Won 0 Net -22
£55 Played 10 Lost 4 Won 6 Net 50
DYM - Profit: £16 ror: 2.7%
Cash: made: 278.54 mainly on the 100 table.
oh, and i busted in the bounty hunter. first my jj vs aq, then i was short and shoved AT and got called by A9 and au revoir
Decided to play £50nl ran pretty bad in cash not gonna list badbeats their boring, but thought the games were soft. I noticed there was like 4 callers to every flop makes it pretty tough to play against with my style of play. Might make some adjustments for tomoz. Overall I think I played well and on another day I could of made alot of money so not too bothered about losing.
Came 30th in the £5.5k Bounty hunter, which wasn't bad but only got about £49 for that. Was playing for the win not to cash so a little disappointed, made a move with an open ended straight draw and got called by top pair to exit.
Bubbled a few DYM's where I didn't do anything wrong and got it in ahead that's the way it goes sometimes. Won a couple of DYM's and a couple of HU sit n goes too.
I lost the most on the cash games.
Ended -£101.02.. I'm not too worried about the result its short term variance at its worst to be honest. Pretty confident on a different day with a bit more luck I could of won a fair chunk.
Ok, Started the night off pretty well, Had a couple of nice doubles in cash, played 2 HU sngs and won both, then continued with cash which progressively became a disaster after losing 3 pretty huge pots where i got it in way ahead and came out behind. I then continued with 2 x 6 max sngs which I bubbled in both,(One I reshove pre with AA to be called by 78cc who then turns a flush) Along side this I played some HU sngs which went well, winning a total of 7 out of 8. I also played the 8pm BH where I bust out about 140th. Button made a move which put me in only having 4 BBs decided to call with A7, his 66 holds, played 2 more mtts, one being the £400 Bh which I busted out 14th, no cash but £30 in bounties so not bad. So Just to sum up. Cash-Loss £36.57 Mtt-Loss£8.50 Sng- Profit£42.25 End Br £497.18 Considering I had some pretty sick hands in cash, was quite pleased with the end result, and really enjoyed the experience tonight, Well done to the other 5, looking forward to tomorrow eve. Good night all!
I've never had 20 tables open plus 6 msn windows. My Laptop is in a bucket of water cooling down!
Boyle = £547.50 Naomi = £497 Sparce = £794.54 Charles = £493.58 James = 398.98 BDog = £458.47
The guys have already beat me to the summaries, but I can safely say Naomi had a bruising night of badbeats and outdraws, while Sparce showed how to play like a highroller with a lowroller's bankroll!
James took a bit of a kicking but didn't lose his head and is very positive about the next two nights. Naomi had to step away for a break at 10:30 as the beats were getting pretty spectacular in their ludicrousness (88 on an 7385 board - all in against 10-10, River 10 - OUGH!) but surprised herself by ending in decent shape. Boylebag bailed early wishing he had left 30 minutes earlier than he did but still showed profit, and Charles got all Kung Fu Nitty on some fresh meat, but met with resistance and some bad beats of his own to end down by a few quid. BrownDog ticked over and seemed in control, coming out with a slight loss but certainly looking like he can do well over the next few nights, while Sparce scared the life out of me with near half his total backroll in play at one stage, but indepth conversation showed he had a plan and the skills and knowledge to back it up. I know that all players have some tweaks to their game we discussed for tomorrow, but I'm entirely happy with everything I saw tonight.
We have some specific action points for tomorrow, but I won't disadvantage the players by discussing them here!
Only 1/3rd of the way into this and already KNOW I will hate having to halve these guys. Right now I don't know how to make it 5 let alone 4 and then 3.
Thanks to all Team Matt for their efforts, and thanks to all the railers and well-wishers.
And now - FINALLY - after the agonising pain of watching SO much poker without having a single hand of my own, I'm off to totally pwn the 2p/4p tables. Yehaw!

Firstly apologies for not responding sooner had an absolute manic weekend and totally forgot about posting,sorry sorry sorry...
Secondly I would like to thank everyone for their support on this thread, last week was real tough and to be honest thought I had blown my chance. To, Cottlad, Penguin and Pyrce you put up some great competition and really put the pressure on commiserations to all 3 of you. Phase 2 will be really interesting and no doubt will only get tougher, but I say bring it on and let the best man win. Good luck Dan and Yippee...
Finally just looked at the results tonight, only day1 guys, I know some of you will rip it up tomorrow ( come on ROCK )..Wishing you all the best of luck, esp Sharky and James, good luck guys..

i was on the table when your aces got cracked, so unlucky ,no worries he soon went himself lol. your the bomb youll be fine so good luck to you and all the rest tomoz.. fin
just had a catch up savage few situations naomi, def gonna get revenge from the poker gods 2nite :P also wp every1 else. hope 2nite goes well and 1 of u win the 8pm unless i make final table, then i hope u get 2nd. all the best
some nice results from the other night, unlucky James, but the same thing happened to some very good players on Team Ed on the first night, and they turned it around, so I'm sure you will. gl for today,
Recovered from all the action now! And feeling positive about tonight. Iv got 2.5 hours of cash and 5 sit n go's out of the way, so that gives me more time to concentrate on my main strength, MTT's. I think tonight will be mainly MTT's and STT's then hopefully get my last bit of cash in towards the end of the night. That will complete my challenges for the 3 days and leave me free to play what ever I wish for day 3.
Well done to everyone last night. Good to see nobody take a big hit to their bankroll and anyone that did have a bad session is looking at it positivly. Hopefully we will all be fighting hard on day 3.
cheers yipee, was a bit hard on myself last night, still finished close to the money in the main event (100th or something), played good in cash and sit n goes were a bit rusty but still a fiar performance and left with some profit...anyway gl for tonight everyone.
Well done to all the Matt-ers. Sounds like it was "character testing" for some of you. Well, cometh the hour, cometh the man. Or even Naomi......
Talking of which, I was jumping around the Tables watching tricks last night, & it looked to me like Naimi was having a shocker, she was in OutDraw-City. Frankly, I doubt if that will register on Matt's Class-Ometer. Even winning players get outdrawn.
I'll be busy in TKO tonight for a while, but I'll be Railing at some point during the evening.
