Well played in Main last night Matt. Very solid. Thought you were set for a real deep run, next week eh?
Think we've spent time together and exchanged pleasantries in Main events twice now. The first time I have a hazy recollection of a final table and a nice cash for me. Last night was me running like a sloth in treacle for your merriment. Just so you know I much prefer it when you are a good luck charm not a jinx.
Soz to hear about the real life stuff. S@*t does seem to happen in cycles. Chin up, upwards and onwards and good luck on and off the virtual felt.
Haha yes thanks for the post. Twice in my last 2 plays in the rebuy main i've lost a key hand to go deep. 2 weeks ago with about 14 left, last night about 34.
Kind of a shame my cards only added up to 17 when I jam into AK last night and he hits a King straight away on the flop. We move on!
Sorry you've been having a sh!t time Matt, it's likely you'll look back and at least be grateful you now know the truth about the family situation even though it's really tough to deal with.
I, too in my last year at school/first year at Uni had to suddenly deal with a huge, terrible family secret coming out, which almost destroyed a few members of my family so I can sympathise with you. My grandma also died around the same time too, so I really feel for you.
Hope you have a nice Easter break and maybe see you at a table soon!
Was in both the main and mini at the 11pm break but relatively short in both. Defo like the new format of the main events obviously as its more chips and more edge available in some spots. Final tabled the Big £5 BH again. Didn't really run well overall, had several nasty exits elsewhere, walked into KK in mini with my AKss, lost a 3way all in with AJ vs KT and AT (both pots) in the big £11 BH. So story was had some stacks but coolers prevented much further action. Bubbled £2 rebuy, came 9th in a 200gtd with FT paid.
Very happy with performance in the 3 games I cashed though, 4 nights in a row i've gone deep in the 18:45 300+ runner BH, and back to back main cashes is always nice. Got about £80 return on the £33 tonight.
Next proper session will be all day Sunday, may play Saturday evening tiredness pending but today (Friday) I am travelling up to Castleford to see the mighty Leeds Rhinos in action. Then off for drinks with the old school peeps in Stratford upon Avon in the evening assuming I get back in decent time. Then off to Cheltenham for a massive game in Gloucester away. Looking forward to the weekend, especially after the week i've had.
Friday day out was fantastic. Saturday not so much. Sunday poker was decent although I had to dereg some things because I was getting really tired.
Think I played quite well overall. Did bad blows in the £11 4pm UKOPS BH whilst on phone to mum and ended up busting making a bad call after not really focusing on the hand. On the phone to relatives defo -ev.
Got HU in the £5 Rebuy against Jawz who played the final table really well, I doubled a few times but in smaller pots I was getting owned lol, eventually he got me.
Then went deep in the UKOPS £5 Rebuy and busted around 14th for £32, Won the £2 daily Rebuy for around 90 odd. Cashed in the £2 Speed for another 25. Bubbled the £5 Deep stack sadly, Jammed AK into KJ, for the board to come JJTJx :-(.
Bricks elsewhere however, would have played the main and £22 freezeout had I been less tired.
Good night nonetheless and look forward to tomorrow, an absolute massive game for my team Leamington which could well decide our fate of survival or relegation.
Been a loooooooooooooong 9 days more things have happened on and off the felt whilst i've been away. Pretty sure most people know where I would stand on this whole collusion ting, as a DTD admin and frequent results manager/poster, and I think I made my view clear elsewhere.
First night back at poker (properly) I played and ran terribly but managed to pull out a night saving win in the £2 speed. Got to about 8 left and realised I could win this, had a few tight players on my 4 handed table with 8 left so spun up a 3bb stack to a top 3 stack going into the final table then went on a coolering rampage where I knocked every single player out on the FT and won for £108, thus saving my night from a potential £80 loss. Played some HU/DYM last night and broke almost dead even so will include those in the points.
Todays plan is get as much as the Uni assessment completed as possible (hopefully finished) before my Friday deadline. Yes standard last minute job ;-)
2 final tables and that's about it. Lots of near misses, 20th in £2 speed 13 paid, 14th in Megastack 10 paid, 8th in 200gtd 5 paid. Spent £55 on main and £16,50 on mini and both ended busting mid-late stage in flips. Never mind!
Played rather ABC tonight, didn't get many spots before the add on in either games, had Jordz to my left for the first 2 hours which wasn't great. Not really much I can say about tonight other than it was a £50 loss lol.
Very excited about the next DTD live game in June at Milton Keynes ... Full details posted tomorrow.
Back to my assessment for now and supposed to be going to a late birthday dinner for someone in our building upstairs in Birmingham so not sure when i'll get back but hope to be back in time to LR the main/mini and get some games in. Or may possibly have to blow off poker tomorrow if this spreadsheet isn't finished, we'll see :-) You know what the student generation are like nowadays always last minute :-)
Sent off my work yesterday actually quite proud of it, finished it at around 5am, meant I was able to relax and get rather drunk last night :-)
Today will be the first ever time i've not been able to look forward to a football game due to nerves taking over. Whilst always have to be worried when the ambition is consolidation, relegations are a part of football but did definitely did not see this coming. 28th Feb was our last win and we won 5-1 against then 2nd bottom Colwyn Bay. Said from there we needed 2 wins to be safe - Since then we've picked up 2 points out of possible 24. Win and all that takes it to the last day (or possibly tuesday when that game in hand is being played) but think if we are going rather just get it out of the way today. Problem is every team down there should be winning easily today.
Ok so its been 2 months since last update. But also been 2 months since i've played. Had various things going on such as Uni first year exams, moving out of halls back home and a few trips away. We are now semi settled down for summer, although moving back to Wolverhampton into our house early July so will have plenty of free time to get back into the groove.
Bump is for anyone going to MK, will be there Friday night and Saturday, hopefully winning some money. Just look for the little guy running around that doesn't look old enough to be in there. Will have Red sunglasses too. If you do come in conversation with me, speak towards the right side of me because that's where my hearing aid is :-).
great post matt see you tomorrow at mk youll get a few bevvys outta me ill be in my wheel chair ive just nicknamed it robbo be great to meet you youll hear me lol im there for 1 oclock lunchtime see you tomorrow
You'd be surprised how hard it was to get into a 21+ hotel as a 19 year old. Nowhere on the terms did it say 21+ and they've had my details for 2 months.
Ah well. Live debut tonight, look forward to it but slightly daunting

Hope it's all sorted now matty. good luck tonight. x
Tonight was an absolute pleasure, meeting some true ladies and gentlemen. But the highlight being sharing a cash table with Tomgoodun and Lmfa0allin for the better part of 3 hours after busting the turbo. I ended up leaving the casino about £52 up, but just a bonus really, and really can't wait for tomorrow when everyone else is there and hopefully cash tables will be more populated later on.
So I am first out. There was an mp1 open, mp2 called. Make a sizeable 3bet with KK in cut off, 2 calls. Flop Kd Jd 10x, continue 3/4 pot, called by mp2. Turn Xd and they lead for 1/3rd pot. Sick feeling but never folding 8;1 with top set so pile it in, up against Q9dd so the cheeky woman (Yes you Olive) flopped it too. No board pair on the end. Ah well alcohol and cash tables later
