i would like to say kiwini4u also won the surviver series for a pound and do i get his prize into a main event, (he he). i would also like to say got close last week, managed final table and 6th but with my stack in small blind had to shove q/k suited unfortunatly walked into aces very first hand after break.
Just want to say that tonight is the first night i have sat and watched a show all the way through without playing a single hand of poker myself and its been a very educational and enjoyable show.
A nice wind down with a few cans of stella after stuffing myself with so much food xmas day and boxing day.
Hope you all have a great and profitable new year.
In Response to Re: XMAS UKOPS ON CHANNEL 865 STARTING TONIGHT FROM 7PM! : u r are wrong, u need ~10:1 IF u stack 'villain' 100% of the time, but what happens if villain has KK and flop is A high, or monotone or 6-7-9, or the turn brings a danger card that kills ur action 15:1 implied odds is a conservative estimate Posted by sikas
If poss could the guys on the show explain this one.
Im pretty new to the game but i thought that it was about 7/1 or 8/1 to flop a set ?
My niece gave all the family beautiful Xmas Cards! Inside each card she had put £5 lucky dip lottery tickets On closer inspection the lottery tickets were losing tickets from the 9th & 16th December. When this was pointed out my 80 year old mum said bless her it's the thought that counts To which my niece replied "thats right, as I watched the numbers drawn out I thought about what I would have bought you if they'd won"

10+20 blinds + 80 raise + 200 3bet & 1700 effective stack size behind, means we are calling 120 to win 2010 if we flop set/stack villain

i think that 15-1 is far to conservative.. correct odds are less thatn 8-1 but i round up to 10-1 for the reasons u explained.. plus you dont hav to stack villian 100% of the time.. jus work out roughly if the call can be justfied as +EV ... in this case i think it can,for example, standard of tourney, (people over play hands, so will get paid more often if we hit), the bet is 120 more, so my conservative estimate for a +EV call would be to make an extra 1200 by the end of the hand.. villan has 1700 ish and pot has been bloated to over 400.. that means jus 2 streets of betting will be needed to hit our target and thats not even stacking villan which i think is more than likely if you flop a set against villans average 3 bet range in these small buy-in tournies..
I was only able to watch from 10:45 last night so only caught the last 75 minutes but was a little disappointed about the hand selections shown.
Every single hand had a short stack going all in and being eliminated. After about 30 minutes of this it became easy to predict what would eventually happen once the hand first came up. The only question was would the chips go in pre-flop or later.
Surely some hands where the short stack doubled up or a clash between two bigger stacks could have been picked?
Right then, great first night of our Xmas UKOPS marathon.
And now for....

Hi Rich, Trev, and of course welcome home to the lovely MIchelle How about, Merry Xmas everybody - Slade Posted by acebarry10
I have to confess a penchant for that "Driving Home for Christmas" song - Chris Rea.
Looking forward to the show tonight - appropriately for the pantomime season it's a case of Beauty & The Beast with Orford & Orpe...however that may be a bit cruel...Michelle isn't that ugly.
