Wow Joesman I know you are a proper betting man but even so, on seeing the size of your bet I feel obliged to up my stakes and have doubled my bet to £16 ew on Graham DeLaet, he's still 100/1 with Corals.
That's the biggest bet I've had on GDL and the biggest bet by far on a first round leader market.
I really need to start thinking before I post on here, lol, you only live once!
Come on Flash get your pennies on, in return I'm going to have a saver on Ryan Palmer for first round leader.

I only put that amount on so ensuring even just a place return pays us both into the tournie at Sheffield.

Wishing you all the best of luck with DeLaet and good luck to you and Rosjim if you do make it to Sheffield.
I'd been thinking about trying to win a seat myself, but I've got too much going on over the next few days.
I agree with you and Flash on the fantasy comp this week, its not worth the risk picking anyone in Madeira, I was tempted to stick Harto in, but he's really got to finish top 3, the safer option and the strategy everyone else has gone for is 10 picks in the Matchplay.
I thought about leaving Poulter out, as I'm not sure he's even close to his B game, never mind his A game at the moment, but again decided it's not worth the risk of losing ground on everyone else.
Though he's been good to me I think I'm going to drop Aphibarnrat though, as I think he's got a terrible draw with Colsaerts and Grace, there must be someone I've overlooked that has a better chance of getting through the group stages.

I've had a good nose at yours and Flashes teams this week. U have both gone 6-4 in picks over the 2 halves of the draw. Gonna be interesting to see how it pans out.
As for the poker, Rosjim got in via the satellite, I missed out. Now that creates a further dilemma if Delaet fails. Can I let him go alone, or do I be a pal, dig deep, and stump up the entrance fee??

I reckon you'll be leaning towards not letting your pal down, I think I'd be looking to do a deal with Rosjim, (10% stake in each other or something like that), edge your bets.
What time does it start, can you put the decision off until Delaet is into his round?
Fantasy wise, I think I've been a bit of a 'follower' this week which is not my style, I ditched Aphibarnrat in the end as not only does he have a tough draw, but he's playing both his matches tomorrow and I don't think fitness is young Kiradech's forte I'd already backed him before the draw was made, so I'll still be hoping he can get through as I've left Grace out of my fantasy team.
Plumped for Shane Lowry in the end, he's also of similar stature to Aphibarnrat and playing both matches tomorrow, but my gamble this week is to oppose Peter Hanson, I think nearly everyone has gone for him and now I'm double handed in the Hanson group with Lowry and Coetzee.
Byron Nelson 1st round leader - have aimed for players who have showed a liking for alternate conditions so I the wind is indeed up all throughout today then they could go ok.
Russell Knox 200/1
Brendan Todd 150/1
Joe ogilvie 250/1
Foremost 2 are in recent decent form and latter was 3rd here 2 years ago in similar conditions to what are expected.

We always have 25% of each other in live events. Can leave the decision til tom morning. Bad start for Delaet, 1st two holes, missed his birdie putts by inches.
Normally I'd say it's been a good start for DeLaet, in fact currently tied 13th, is a good place to be.
From what I saw on shot tracker, it was a comfortable 67 (could have been better, but certainly no worse) and sets him up nicely for the rest of the tournament, even if Keegan Bradley shot a silly 60!
Sadly no use for the first round leader bets and Ryan Palmer missed a place by one shot.
If you do dig deep for Sheffield, hope you or Rosjim cash.

Cheers mate, yep I'm going. As for Delaet, very frustrating 67. Putt after putt just missing for birdie. Ok 10 under was too good, but a place wasn't far away. Good luck with him for the w/e. I'll let u know via this thread if either of us go deep.

Well..... I'm writing this from my sofa and not from the casino playing day 2. Starting stacks were 25k 3rd hand in I got QQ on the button. After 5 limpers I ramped it up to 250. Everyone called. 1st to act shouted 'check' even BEFORE the cards were exposed. 992 was the flop. Everyone else checked to me, I bet out 1500. 1st to act called, one other did. Turn was a blank, checked to me again, this time I bet 3k. 1st to act called, other folded. River k, he checked, so did I behind him. He had 9 10. And that's how my luck ran til I was down to 3k in the 2nd level. Very embarrassing!!! Anyways, I grinded away, and by the break was back up to 15k. Within an hour of play re-starting I'd doubled up to 60k, now nearly double the ave'. Then I induced a bluff and I was on nearly a 100k (poss' chip leader). My nearest oppo on my table had 70 ish, the rest below ave', which was now just over 30k. Then boooooommmm!!!! I was on the button, looked down to find 22. I called the min raise, so did the SB (70k man) BB folded. Flop came down 2,5,10 all clubs. SB checked, initial raiser (small stack) bet out 2k, I raised to 10k (worried about the 3*clubs), SB called, small stack folded. Turn was another 10. Now I'd housed up, SB bet out 17k, I didn't mess about, I got it all in, SB called.... He had 55 for the better house ffs grrrrrrr. The only hand that was beating me (I discounted quad 10's as he wouldn't have bet that strong with the total nuts). He was the only stack that could have hurt me. So instead of a silly 170k stack, I was back to the ave' 30k. Within 5 hands I got AQ clubs. There was 10k in the pot after I had raised it pre with 2 callers. The flop was k high with 2 clubs. There was a bet, a call, then me to act. Again I didn't mess about, I shoved, got one caller who said, ' this is what happens when u play sh@t cards', and showed 3,5 clubs. 'Oh dear' I said as I showed my cards. He stood up (which I hate) ready to leave. Turn 3 river 3 ffs!!! So instead of getting back upto well above ave' stack of 70k ish I was heading for the exit. From hero to zero in 5 mins lol...
unlucky mate so bad beats do come in real poker as well LOL Posted by vaigret
Oh yes lol..... Didn't mind the big pot loss, I got it in behind. A better player would have got away from it with less damage done. Size betting my big downfall live. But the exit hand was comical. Him calling a pre flop bet of 3.2k with 3,5 clubs. Then calling off his remaining 25k on a draw. A poor draw at that.

Big fantasy winner this week would be Chris Wood.
