Completely agree with what Ross said about luck, it's pretty much impossible to win a poker tournament without getting lucky at least once, that doesn't detract in any way from it being a skill based game and it's what makes us love the game.
Am I lucky.... I'll let you be the judges, my exit hand from the UKPC 6Max in level 2 (bearing in mind I'd bubbled the main event satellite 4 times).
My Hand JsQs 1 raiser before me, I flat 2 more callers from the blinds
Jh Qh x flop, it checks to me I bet 3/4 pot, 1 caller from the Small Blind 9h turn check / check Qc river giving me the nut full house, he leads out 1200, I raise 5000, he re-raises to 15000 I jam approx. 32,000 snap call.
Well at least I finished higher than Mr Orford in the mini. I only play cash tables on a Tuesday and just as I joined you showed my table (31). So didn't make the telly again.
My goal is to make the Sky Poker Final a DTD in 2015.....will see you there
Watching the show, and after Ross said you have to put bad beats behind you well this isn't poker related but I had 4 teams in the champs league to win and the Man U game was the last one to run with me needing them to lose for £300 but I decided to cash out at 0-0 for just £75 and then they went on to love meaning I lost out on £225 is this a good win or a bad loss? The stake I put on was £10, but I just feels like a bad loss to me
I visited UKPC railing Glen Altham an entry into the PLO event. It was my first ever live play, initially felt like a fish out of water, but this soon change when I started to play cash on a £1 - £1 table. I sat with £100 and left with £450 a I was made most welcome and all my mistakes were toleranred. This was a great experience all around and I will definitely be doing this again. Hats off to DTD very well organised! If you have not tried one of these events get along they are fantastic!
An interesting cash coverage tonight, you showed more folding than normal as opposed to the spectactular all in type hands.
I believe that the money is made or lost in cash is from not paying off, as this is a slow leak. rather than the big hands. The amusing side is that despite me making £40 plus, you managed to show about half a dozen hands of mine without me winning one :-).
