SR23's Road to Manchester? Mid-Oct to Mid-Nov Cash/Tournament Diary

Given other stacks most likely is a fold, or just do as you did and win the flip😉

Was it a free roll and how many runners?

Hi, welcome.

Yep, was the UKOPS Freeroll. Think it was coming up to my blinds and if the shorties had doubled up I was looking in a spot of bother. Plus, I'd seen the active player get it in with another big stack with eights a few hands before and if he had eights before he has eights again, right? More plus, I was looking for one of the HR seats for top two. But, yeah, folding might be best there.

SR23

Bit of an awkward session earlier and I dropped £80-ish in half and hour and spent the next hour or so grinding half of it back. Good old grinding.

Was massively tempted to take half my roll and yolo it up in live (Bournemouth) cash. Still might. Gone (for now) are the days of going in there with two bags. Now it's one buy-in. Oh well.

Happy weekending, all. Might update here and there if anything atrocious or sensational happens. Might even start posting some hands, too.

Cheerio.

Opening roll: £194.33
Roll: £390.63 (+ £110 UKOPS ticket)

Pretty good Saturday. Played (mostly) horrifically in tournaments and made a tiny bit. Played a little better in cash and made a tiny bit more. Had a whopping £3 on Bournemouth, West Brom and Everton to win. Cashed out with Bournemouth 3-0 up, West Brom 2-0 up and Everton 2-1 up. As you may know, Everton ended up losing 5-2. Good old timing.

Here's a hand.

Anyway, Match of the Day beckons. And food - that beckons as well. Perhaps a cigarette, although I'm working on those not beckoning anymore.

Might do a bit more poker later whilst watching @Duesenberg and Regi's frankly excellent stream.

In the meantime, thanks for reading.

Superb timing on that Everton cashout. What a turn-round that was.

And I see you nicked another £30 in the Elim Fr;



SR23 0 13 £30

SR23

^ ha, cheers, something wasn't feeling good in the Eve-Wat game.

Elim Frees have been kind to me; I was telling someone the other day that I won £1K in the Eliminator promo last year. But was it? The years get all mixed up when you get to my age.

And there are plenty more - and plenty worse.

The bad news, is that I've dusted off all this weekend's profit. £200-ish in an hour. The other bad news, is that I seem to think playing 100nl is a good idea.

The good news, I suppose, is that I plan to keep going.

Wish me luck.

Cash continues to break me. Feeling a little beleaguered but will endeavour to put up a full, and fully bleak, update tomorrow. At least I'm doing okay in tournaments.
