    Hi Rich congrats on running deep, I had you on both tables last night and thought you played well.

    I'm obviously buttering you up for a reason as i'm not sure if you remember but we played a big hand last night and I want to know what you had. :)

    You raised UTG, I called and so did another. Flop was 10 10 9 ( with 2 clubs ) the guy donk bets, you flat and so do I. The turn is a club, he checks and you bet 6500 2/3 pot. i call and the river is another 9. You then go allin for 9k or so which was just over half my stack. Im sitting there with AQ the nut flush thinking FML. I didnt see many bluffs in your range when you led turn big 3 way, altho its hard to put someone on such a narrow range as just fh's.

    Anyways you dont have to say was just curious. goodluck in your next session.

    Hi Devil,

    GG last night.

    The flop in the hand you're thinking of actually came 10 10 4.

    I had pocket 4s. Hence why I raised UTG, flatted the flop bet, and started getting money in on the turn. The turn was a 9. And the river was a 9. I didn't love the second 9 at all, as now any 10 is beating me, but I figured from the betting that you might have a flush and ultimately I was never going to lay down my house having already invested so many chips. Also I didn't want you going all-in first and me facing a difficult decision.

    Anyway, great fold! :-)

    I'll try and post the hand history below...

    Lol! Right, that does it. Determined to post this bleeding hand now.

    Just remembered, I use Google Chrome but you need to use Safari to post hands don't you?

    Had a nightmare trying to post that hand. Tried everything but it just comes out as HTML gibberish.

    So here it is instead as three photos!

    BUMP for Mr Orford.

    The HUFA Cup Draw has been completed.

    Congratulations on being the only Sky Poker Analyst to make round 3.

    Your opponent seems to be looking forward to playing you, so much so he willed it in pre-draw.

    The draw was of course entirely fair and random and the £1 Million paid into my bank account the day before the draw was for some legitimate poker consultancy work I did for them 5 years ago.

    3.15am.

    After 7 hours of play- tonight's 8.30pm 202 runner Mini Event finished like this...


    ;-)

    Thank gawd for that. My Sharkscope over the last few weeks has looked like the world's most hardcore downward ski slope.

    I might go to bed now.

    Hi imber- I've actually already replied to last night in the Heads Up Call Out Thread.

    Typical- Wednesdays is pretty much the only evening I can do it! Are you around at no point at all on Wednesdays? This Wednesday I'm literally available to play this game all day/nigth. Let's say from 10am through till 1am.

    If not, Fri 4th, Sat 5th, Sun 6th any good at around say 7pm?

    Just perusing Gary's Results Thread and I see you had a good result in the 9pm BH last night....well played mate. At this rate, you might end the year in profit.

    Lol- thanks Alan. 

    Cashed in the mini as well, finished around 18th I think.

    The main was annoying though- deep run, no cash, but was the monster chip leader for about an hour.

    'Profit'? What does that word mean? Will need to look that up...
