BTW, feel free to be critical of any hands I post up, might not respond today but will respond soon hopefully. 2 tabling Sky now, other sites begin from 4pm. In other news, the Hound is running around in the garden without a care in the world, chewing stuff. Lucky girl Posted by TommyD
I have a question about the hand. The flop isn't the driest flop in the world so would a raise have been better? If not, why not? I know this is being results orientated but in this case wouldn't a raise have prob lead to you being HU with the 9T guy?
A genuine question as I honestly don't know what the best move would be in that spot.

Single tabling so can answer. I sometimes raise here, I sometimes flat here with the entire part of my range I wish to continue with. I thought at the time that if I raise I fold out so much against the big stack. They'd only call with sets/T9 and really strong combo draws which I am ok against but not absolutely crushing. I felt I could get more value by flatting here and planning to get it in on the turn. Didn't work out this time obviously.
We have to think why we are betting. If it's to fold out everything we crush then we're doing something wrong. Although I take your point on board totally that that is a wet flop. And like I say, sometimes I raise for value, sometimes I flat.

Cheers for your swift reply and thanks for explaining your thought process. Will try to take this on board for when I'm in similar spots.

Cheers man, it's always a rollercoaster so there will be plenty more funny spots.
Just to expand on that hand more. Their gutshot isn't the only turn card, they can also pick up a K or J etc to make it more difficult for them to fold. It's not just get there's a bricks for my oppos there, many cards in the deck, many permutations.
Anyway, back to it. Made first hour of the early Roller sat, got an ok stack. *** and Next door about to enter the fray. Sunday starts in earnest.
Are you getting TV appearance money? Taken from tonight's live show thread. 9pm – Coverage of the UKPC challenge final I am still playing the 1st one which wasn't shown or even mentioned! GL on your Sunday grind.......not that you will need any Thought you would of caught the sun today at The Emirates BTW....... ☺ Posted by MAXALLY
What, did they have a parade? You'd have thought they would have told someone or at least put some notices up. Some teams....
Hopefully your one will be shown on another night. I have bought popcorn especially
Had better starts on Sky on a Sunday. 4 up and 4 down with minimal return. It happens. *** Shovel Event 43L has muddled through without anything really happening in the first hour, ditto Next Door's Get Cosy. Feeling a little meh at the moment, haven't really connected, not feeling any traction and ever so slightly intimidated the session ahead.
De Regged all 22 and less BHers and the 22 Deepie on Sky. Had a sudden moment of clarity as to how many tables will open between 6pm and 9pm. I think I need to focus so that means dropping some of the schedule. Not playing really badly but not in the zone. Will try to give myself the best possible shot in the bigger stuff, some of it doesn't come around on a weekly basis.
No real progress on ***, can't find a spot next door. Getting ever so slightly frustrated. Not at the races yet. Will watch a Rocky montage in the break to find inspiration.
Rough hour. A little while ago I'm worried I'll have too many tables for my screen. Now I'm wondering where an cash will come from. Things sorta falling part.
GG 43l. JJ v KK Button v SB. Not sure if standard or if I could play it different. Think it'll be one I discuss with friends later. 44L just started, that's my only other *** tonight.
Next Door, 3 of the starting 4 still carry the banner into the next hour, one of them with a decent stack, the other two around the average. Still got the UKPC sat next door to come at 9pm
Since the de regging Sky has been mostly sats with no real success. But I still have main and mini, 9pm, MBI YKPC final and UKPC Challenge ahead. Now it matters.
An ok Hour. Decent start in Roller. Mini table is lively and I'm a little behind at the mo, some fun hands though.
Next Door I have two good stacks and one below average stack in the special.
*** Main around starting, not much to report.
Big hour this coming up, really is going to define my day I feel. Game face time.
In other news the Hound has decided to stop licking and chewing everything in the garden. She has decided right now she'd much prefer to lie behind me and snore like a fog horn. Bless. Kinda......

Finished second in the UKPC challenge so I have no idea if I get anything for that having already won a seat through the sats. Congrats to Solly but darn it, can't believe how I ran HU. I never ever say I think I played a game perfect but tbh I think I played that SnG perfect. Two hands HU where I lose to the one over. It happens.
Zero other cashes, Next door amazing gets theres near bubbled my last two runnings in the special and a remarkable play cost me the UKPC sat there.
So what do we have left? Roller, MBI, UKPC Final on Sky and the Scoop main L .
At this point I would consider re regging some I de regged earlier but I've been through the ringer. Gonna try to focus on these. Still ever chance of a big score, but with nothing in the bank and four left, the heat is indeed on.
Here's the mini exit. Just posting it to show that contrary to popular belief it happens to me too. Sets getting flushed is the theme for me today everywhere. Time to focus and let's win something!!!!

Need more tea I think.

The meat of Sky will open soon, only got a Roller semi going there, bumbling along.
Next Door I have GGed get Cosy, got their main to the power of 4 going, average start
Shovel 43L on ***, found some traction, probably luckboxing, managed to chip up a bunch. And I have survived late reg in it, a feat in itself.
GL grinders. Feeling more in the zone of a Sunday
