I only take shots at tournaments for my 'One Time' now. Been playing .10/.25 cash recently, but must get off of stars. May go back to Celeb Poker in November for the rakeback. I just love the Stars software, but it's obviously losing out on precious margins. Either way, things are looking up in the world of cash for me, at least in the short term. Roll currently $750 with the ability to take shots at 50NL from time to time (1 BI lost and I'll end the shot, though).

It's all about volume. If you are 10-tabling the 180mans then you aren't going to care about those sort of hands but if you are 1-tabling and it happens close to the final table then it's extremely annoying as you've basically wasted 3hrs.

You are right of course, but my current laptop creaks if it runs much more than two games at once, so I don't get the volume in, and all of the 'argggghhh you funting bastard'!

Now that you have a job hopefully you will be able to invest in a decent machine soon.

Pretty excited about the tourney in Nottingham.

If everyone who registered attends it will be the biggest live field for a UK live tourney.

About selling action I'm going to see if I survive Day 1a first before I do sell better for you guys that way 8-)

I'll post updates on breaks.

GL Slayer!

I've been running pretty sick, so should have a good end-of-the-month graph to show you all.

Qualified for the Million today, although I probably won't play it and risk $215 on one tourney. Might save that for another day. Gonna grind it out with 18-mans or something. Roll is about $1100.

Good stuff!

I've had a good month too. Last month I turned some fpp points into $50 and then turned that into $350 and this month I turned that into $1800. I withdrew $800 and now have a $1000 roll. 8-)

Sickest hand from the ME we have seen so far.

Candio's reaction is hilarious. :lol:

Excellent. What have you been playing mostly? Are you going to keep it in this time so we can race to $2k?

Mostly been playing 180mans with a few bigger MTTs thrown in. Also started playing HU SNGs and not done too badly at those. See you at $2k

@ hand reaction

Some of the YouTube comments are golden.

7 things are amazing in this video

1 - Filippo silence when asked about his chips
2 - 1:40 "uhhhhh" from random guy
3 - Norman Chad 2:02 OHHH FILIPPO
4 - idiot saying "nuts" 2:11
5 - UUUUUUUUH on the turn
6 - OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ON THE RIVER
7 - Candio freakout

Though he missed out number 8, the reactions of the other players at the table, David Baker specifically (nearest the camera).

'unbelievable donk superdonk omg Idiot'. Are you serious? Yes, the guy misplayed the hand bandly, but he survived 8 days and over 7000 other players to get to this point. Everybody gets it wrong sometimes, but you need some game to make it this deep. On the plus side though I bet Billy Kopp is relieved now that youtube has nominated a new #1 donk.

I'll do a proper write up once I'm home Monday.

From the 450 runners I busted out about 195th which I'm pretty proud of, well worth going the atmosphere was amazing having that many people playing.

I'd love to go to one of those, perhaps next time make it a GR meet-up and a few of us could tag along? :shifty:

I was going to suggest but it was short notice for you all.

Next year they have a few big tournaments so yeah it would be great to go as a group.
