Photos pending approval but I believe you! wp
2-1 to you
Played a short session yesterday afternoon and felt properly tilted for the first time in as long as I can remember. The game that caused it? Freeroll of course!! I know we're only playing first to 15 but I want to get a win at everything anyway so tried a couple of the afternoon Freerolls. Genuinely it could be the toughest one to tick off lol - 200 player Hyper Turbo where nobody folds ANYTHING preflop so you have zero fold equity... so so difficult!! Anyway made it HU in one of them - av stack 12bb and I bluff shoved river in a limped pot (so spr still well over 2) on KQxxA runout. Actually thought I could make him fold K lol and he snapped me with Q8. My mistake obvs as like I said, nobody is folding anything. Just the thought of having to battle through more of these 6bb av stack fests is not an appealing one, but it shall be done!
Not sure I can play this weekend as moving house and probably won't have wifi set up until next week. Hope you can get a sizable lead for me to chase! If you do, don't feel bad/go easy - I will still win this overall :P Gl
Finally back with wifi set up so let's gogogo this eve!!
Having a break from poker has been good to be fair, and genuinely really excited to play a session tonight. Super Sunday or whatever it's called next week will be mega also!
Gl, hopefully see you at the tables if you're playing
Played a few daytime sessions this week and genuinely think it's the worst week of runbad I've ever had! Not mentioning this to tell bad beat stories, though there are lottttttttttttttts and in massive high equity spots being 2-outered for half the chips in play etc, but just to think about variance in general.
Made a few small final tables so probably lost around 20 buy-ins or something, which since only microstakes run during the day is absolutely fine. But it does make you realise that can easily happen at much higher stakes, especially where the competition is going to be tougher, and that can be really damaging.
So with that in mind, I'm not sure about playing the Main Event on Sunday. It's much higher than my usual abi and one cooler/suckout/mistake and it's gg. Only just made back UKOPS losses so don't particularly want to instantly head straight back into a losing stretch. Being a bounty hunter does make it tempting though as have the chance to cover some of the costs. Will see how feeling on Sunday! All thoughts appreciated!!

Scrap this, luckboxed a seat so will be playing glgl!
Out of interest what are your thoughts on the Reload? Obvs not suggesting you change anything as this would mess up current results/rankings, but it does get a bigger prizepool and field than some of the others on the list like the £500gtd £5.5s
I'm just biased as that is my game with the most final tables

thanks angmar
i have thought about the roload and whether it should be added to the list of major tournaments. a few others have mentioned it too.
currently the threshold is governed by three conditions; £5 buy-in, £500 gtd and likely to have a field size above 30. this is to retain a quality element and compare players on a standard test. normally this gives 20 major tournaments each day.
i can increase the number of games. the decision is which condition to change. i think that the quality of major games pool is not harmed at all with the inclusion of the reload.
Can't remember but are you scheduling the 7 at 7 at the moment? I genuinely can't crack that tournament! Lolsample etc, but have never cashed it - think once upon a time I took a bounty, but outside that would be on -100%roi
Tonight will be the night I crack it haha - cashing it would seriously feel like a big win for me!
Excellent - glgl! Can't remember but are you scheduling the 7 at 7 at the moment? I genuinely can't crack that tournament!

Edit: Nobody knock me out of the 7 at 7!!!!! Posted by Angmar2626
Genuinely bust first hand lol! Hit set with JJ and got flushed. Any runs for you? 5/7 in the Reload atm but will need a mircale to turn it around!
15th in the 33... make last 3 tables just about every Sunday and still no final tables lol
On the off chance that Tikay or anyone reads this, I feel like the Sunday 33 could be made into a flagship tournament with a catchy name like the nightly 33s? I know the 110 is the main on Sunday but the 33 is extremely popular and smashes its guarantee every week I believe.
