GR Series of Poker 2009 - SYKES WINS MAIN EVENT!

It should be a really good game tonight, it makes a nice change from the usual GR 180mans. Is anyone else going to record their screen? I will try and record mine but I don't have much HDD space so I'll have to try and free some up later on.

Also, did we decide how the POTY points will work?

Definitely camtasia.

I need to know how many points I am going to get for first.

How about this for the POTY points?

I agree.

Just deposited $15 for the HU and ME. Hopefully I'll cash to make it worth it.

Nova and Luwinski aren't playing tonight as they've got uni socials to go on.

That's disappointing.

Nine runners at the moment so someone's going to get a bye for the first round.

I might be wrong, but I think theres gonna be 'seven byes' and two will have to go at it for the quarter final spot! Televised poker or what?

:lol:

That'd be amazing :lol:

7 byes is correct. GL whoever draws the short straw(s).

Will there be a big MSN convo?

I've uploaded a video of my match against Drumstick.

I think I played quite bad but I had nothing to work with, I was card dead the whole time. I did well to get it back to even after losing quite a few chips early on, and in the end I got it all-in with the better hand but apart from that I was making too many moves and I think Drummy could tell I was bluffing every hand I played. :lol:

gg all.

I ran pretty gooseberry fool at the FT as you will see from the vid. Think I had Jebus pretty sussed though in terms of play, just seems he ran hotter/I ran crap allowing him to run it over. That said I ran hot in the first two games.

Points be points though and I can buyin to another event now! Woohoo!

Well done Jebus, you bossed that final.

I criticised your play against me quite heavily, so to see you make all the right moves probably helped my karma in the long run.

:lol:

Unlucky Rex, well done Jeb.

Thanks

I recorded every game so I'll sort them out later to put up, I think it will be very interesting to see what people make of it. This was the event I was most confident about making the final 2 on as I think my HU play is ok so I'm very happy. Also it means I can actually afford to play in all the other events now as well :lol:

Wish I wasn't working late tonight would of loved to take part still I should be able to play the next 3 events :mrgreen:

I dunno if I'll be in the next one, cos its the same day as my Grand Final. If I'm out early I'll be in though. Must admit, I'd be more confident at Stud than Omaha.
