brilliant sikas... i have a feeling that you will be able to post regular updates too.
The tounie started pretty horrible for me. I was down to 7k at either 150/300 or 200/400. Managed to really grind it out and make day 2 with 60k, which was double starting. Avg was around 80/90 I think and blinds were due to be 800/1600.
Quickly got a double up to 120k and then felt very comfortable for the next 3/4 hours. Generally ran over the tables and got to a high of 220k without really seeing even a flop.
Then I lost a big pot and had to raise/fold a few times. Table move kinda disrupted by flow where I lost even more chips.
Moved tables yet again and...had 100k at this point which was 20bb. Won a couple of pots pre and got upto 125k.
Then beaneh opens to 11k....alex goulder 3 bets the CO to 23k....I look down at AQo on the btn and put all of my betting disks over the line. Beaneh has JJ and holds.
Was 33rd I think with 27 paid but think I played really well.
BTW I think the Monte Carlo was my favourite ever tournie. Just so well run and has a lot of value but also just about every known poker player in the UK plays it too. No matter where you are in your poker journey, you should definalty try and play this the next time it comes around. It is such a fantastic tournie and there are ways to get in for cheap and even free.
Don't forget all cashes need to be added to the race to £20,012 thread to be counted in the totals. I don't mind if this is done as a bulk transfer by one person which is what team 51 and TPT are doing.
i will add a post to your thread giving totals for team sky poker players. i will total notable wins (games where the guarantee is in excess of £1,000) as the smaller ones will not be known to me unless TSP members (old, current and new) post here to advise.
