lol thats 2 reports in, n 2 people seem to not have had the best of nights. Both top players, sure u'll go n smash the tables to bits tonight!
For me it was good, but not as good as it should have been, again.
Trying a new lappy ahead of my tp week, so decided to play the orfordable deepie. Its a ten seater, so perfect for multi tabling, dont wanna run before I can walk with it, but 2, and at 1 point even 3 tables worked ok!
The tourny itself was so hard, my games pretty smash n bash, like to get in and out of alot of pots, but playing 10 handed I had to calm it down alot and be more selective. Although the buy in is alot lower than usual, it was the toughest mtt ive played for weeks, these guys r obviously more experienced 10 handed, and a few times they just picked me off. The standard was high, a couple of players stood out imparticular. I made the final table and ended in 6th, changed gears as we became 9, 8, 7, 6 handed, gt abit unlucky, but no complaints, Im very proud of the ft finish.
I played the main event alongside the deepie, at one point was deep in both, ft-ing the deepie whilst in the top 10 with 40 left in the main event. This was testing my multi tabling skills, but I managed ok I think. Still managed to study each player individually and felt in control of both tables.
In the main event, I ran into a guy I would never ever like to play again. He wasa nightmare. As Im complimenting him, I'll name him. THEGUV! - He came over the top of me OOP time and time and time again! He had no fear and I just couldnt find a hand to call! - In the end he bust me, I didnt give him the chance to come bak over me, moved all in B on B with an ace, he called with something like jq, and that was that, out in 21st.
Must have had a few by now, well, I had, as I had an hour playing omaha against the sharks, Im so out of my league there it's unreal. But I managed to limit the damage n have woke up with a nice profit
Sat is my fave day, football at 12, racing at 2, my team Donny r on sky at tea time, that finishes just in time for mastercash, then TP, then MOTDay! Alll whilst playing cards! What more cud u want!
I lasted just over an hour in the main event when I ran AKs into AKo and QQ aipf. I turned a flush draw but didn't bink it.
I multi-tabled (well, I consider 2 tables multi-tabling) some Omaha with some of the usual suspects. I was nicely in profit until I ended up HU with someone that I'd never played before. He played a very aggressive game and seemed to hit every hand. It was quite remarkable and I paid him off just about every time too. I got a right spanking and ended up down on the night. It was still great fun, though.
hehe yeah.... that's all there is right? KK v 33 allin on 23k7 board started the evening in great style when the 3 dropped. I spent the rest of the evening grinding like a maniac to get close to level....... Last hand of the evening AA v QQ for 300bb's AIPF O hai mrs Q!
I'd promised myself that last nights play was to potentially fund a live game.... />£125 i'd buy a GUKPT club championship seat />£300 i'd buy a UKIPT seat anything more i'd put it towards the cash sidegames I don't play much live....mainly just as a social night out/treat and i sometimes have these 'tonights for the live fund' nights........ i guess i'll just stay at home lol....... or you could stake me!
At last - you've got a proper Lappie sorted. You'll need that next week, in the meantime, yeah, practice a bit more multi-tabling, you must be able to do that next week.
Your comment on 10 handed v 6 handed was interesting - the difference in playing style needed is massive, & Position becomes much more important.
But I'll remember your Post above all else for that expression you used to describe your usdual game.
OK.,I'm going to do a bit of bragging so apologies in advance! Having finished 4th out of 123 in the £120 GTD Speed MTT on Friday (for £10 profit) I was feeling good yesterday. I started off with the Primo Sat and the Orfordable Deepie (double tabling, pretty much a new experience for me). I managed to qualify through to the Primo Semi and made steady progress in the Deepie, although my stack did do plenty of yoyoing. During the Deepie I picked up my 4th Quads in a week, quad 10s for the second time to go with quad 9s twice! Whilst going deep in the Deepie the Primo semi started but I ran AA into 65o after 30 minutes or so and the 789 flop did for me! Focusing on the Deepie I made final table and went out in 4th for another nice profit of £16. So to this morning where I tackled the £30 GTD MTT at 10AM with 60 odd runners and, made final table, made HU and finally went out when my K7cc on a board of 9c 7 9 10c 5 ran up against A 9. Still, second place for another £11 profit and 3 cashes in a row. By the way, during this morning's tourny I picked up QUAD 10s! So that's quad 10s three times and quad 9s twice in a week.
I was PTP-ing Omaha cash only, & I worked my way through 6 Tables, opening up a fresh one each time. They all filled, so they know valooooo when they see it.
PTP is a most peculiar gig. It'd hardly be very bright to go & bust players - Clients - wholesale (even assuming we were capable, & we are certainly not), equally, propfessional pride means none of us want to lose our Bankroll, & have to go, cap in hand to Sky Des asking for more.
So, in Tourneys, we play as hard as we can. But in PTP Cash, I play ultra uber-nitty & conservative, the whole idea being to keep the Bankroll stable. We get called very wide, so no point making any moves, but it's still possible to do OK.
Last night was my first PTP all Omaha cash night, & you know how it is with Omaha, whats in front of you will end up in the middle soon enough if you play properly.
Somehow, being VERY selective with my Starting Hands, & Position, I nitted my way to a small profit overall, & I was ahead on 4 of the 6 Tables, so it was not just one or two crash-bang-wallop double ups.
On one Table, the other players - who seem to play EVERY hand, commented that I must be "away", as I'd not payed a hand in 2 orbits. I've had to cope with those sort of comments for over 12 years, it's just how I play.
So it was enjoying, relaxing, & I did my job well. Most satisfactory.
Sadly, the Forum had it's usual Friday night hoo-hah. I think I'll stay off the Forum on Fridays in future, it always kicks off, & I don't spend time on forums to watch, or indulge, in barneys.
No poker tonight - I'm working - & I'm up at DTD in Nottingham tomorrow, to mix work with pleasure, meet some Sky Poker regs, do a bit of filming, do a bit of business with Rob Yong, who owns DTD, & play their £150 Deepie. So it'll be Monday before I play here again.
I hope you all have a great weekend, & you keep this thread bubbling along - I enjoy this thread more than almost any, mercifully free as it is from the dreaded whinge buckets.

A player who fesses up to hitting quads three times, & admits he gets lucky now & then?
In Response to Re: How was it for you, last night? : A player who fesses up to hitting quads three times, & admits he gets lucky now & then? It won't do, off with you. PS - Nice results Mr Gull, very nice. Posted by Tikay10
Well Last Night, I won a couple of DYMs @ £22, Finished 8th in the orfordable deepstack, a small cash I know, but hey! they all count. Then finally I survived what seemed like an eternity to get on the last table to go on and win the 8.15 deepstack for £90.
After that I wasn't feeling too tired (at the time) so I decided to write a poem for poker, which I then posted in the lobby. Went to bed at about 3.15am and disturbed the misses, she was not best impressed but we all got our cross to bear right? mine is poker. Not so great with the poems though lol but I did try.
been a good few nights for me, £900 up on the cash tables, played some very good poker last night on the 25/50 tables so happy allin all. just waiting for the pesky swing to come around
By the way, during this morning's tourny I picked up QUAD 10s! So that's quad 10s three times and quad 9s twice in a week. ER.... FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX lolololol Posted by acebarry10
I tell you it was just unreal. I had quads twice within an hour in the same tourny last week (9s and 10s), then 9s on thursday, 10s last night and 10s again this morning. What I'm really pleased about is I got all the chips in the middle by the river every time. WIPE OUT!!
By the way, during this morning's tourny I picked up QUAD 10s! So that's quad 10s three times and quad 9s twice in a week. ER.... FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX lolololol Posted by acebarry10
What I want to know is .... why dont I ever get quads higher than 10s? I mean, why don't I ever get Aces or Kings? Must be fixed.
just over 3 hours into the deepstack first hand into final table and that all in buttons lets me down lol
tbf i did need a double up extra quick and maybe 23 suited on the small blind wasn't the best hand lol especially when pokertrev (who went on to win) was on the big blind with a pair of 6s
o well we live and learn congrats to pokertev again
In Response to Re: How was it for you, last night? : Hi Dylan, I guessed you were having a rough time last night, when we briefly shared Tables, you seemed a bit down, but some nights it just goes like that. But with next week's TP looming large, which is so important, I'm not sure "hitting the Tables hard" tonight is the best way forward - you can't "force" poker. Chill for a night, play a few levels below normal, and relax, You need to be mentally "right" come Monday, & a soft weekend will do you no harm at all. Form is temporary, class is not, & you'll be just fine next week. Good luck. Posted by Tikay10
Hi Tikay
Thanks for your message, I agree with you, I need to take it easy and will only be entering a couple of tournaments tonight. Not playing Omaha this weekend, I really love the game and I learn so much when playing with yourself and merenovice to name but a few, but decided that with TP looming on Monday I need to relax and just concentrate on Holdem, but after TP this week I will be back on to Omaha to play some more - is it just me or is omaha such an exciting game - it is so unpredictable and I really find it's a good way to relax after the grind of the Holdem tables!!

Yes - mixing Hold Em, & Omaha is not usually a good thing, as you need to develop diffeent habits & mindsets for each game. I'd stick to the 2 card game until your TP week has passed. I find it very hard to switch from Omaha to Held 'Em, & it deffo affects how I play, hand selection, etc, until I get back in the groove.
Is Omaha more excting? Well it's horses for courses. For me, it's a 100 times more satisfying & enjoyable, it has so many more variables, & Pot Limit means that brain means as much as muscle. But the truth is, the game is vastly less popular than Hold 'Em, both Live & Online, & no matter how hard it's promoted, it's popularity has never really increased much. Hey-ho, the liquidity is here is pretty thin right now, but it's gaining traffic night on night, & so there's usually a choice of games available.
DTD tomorrow - my first Live Poker for a good few weeks, amazingly. Odd to think that not many years ago, & for 7 or 8 years, I was playing Live Poker 7 nights a week, mainly in Fessies. How times change, but I'm enjoying my time in poker now more than I ever have.
Last night was a lot better, cashed in the 8pm tourney, then played and won some cash in the 50nl with Tuckman and worked out a weakness in my game that was just so simple but I had not realised!! I then played the £400 BH tourney and came 2nd overall which was a good result because I hate BH's!!!!!!
Last night I did ok..... up about £300 on cash... made good call in the Master Cash live tables.... calling with 66 lol to an all in on the turn with two over cards..... even Tikay said was gread read and great call lol!
Don't want to hit a bad swing like last week though when I was like £700 in the hole in like 2 days of complete and utter hardcore coolers
Ah well, good luck in DTD Tikay.. I shall have to come up there when you there next to play some heads-up cash
