OR wider if he calls too tight and slightly narrower can be better if he calls very loose but this is not likely at all.

Nova you import as normal and click the tourney tab.

Pissed off with myself right now, just bubbled in an 18 man and 9 man because of stupid risky calls/plays for all my chips. I'd played really well in both up to that point then just got a rush of blood to the head, I was sitting well in the 18 man as well. Hey ho, next time stick to the plan!

2 in as many days? That actually sucks. =[

Playing more HU SNG $50 and $30. If anyone wants to rail on teamviewer the option is there. I can teamspeak my thoughts too if you are interested. Seem to be pwning them. Rolling well over £1400 now. Just msn.

Bankroll just broke the $550 barrier for the first time.

Appears these will be high variance! Roll is £1635. I am awesome.

I'm playing cash, getting absolutely strawberry float all and losing little bits of moeny until I get pocket Aces twice in a row. First time I flop quads and it's only the BB left in so I try and check raise but he checks until I do a 3xBB bet on the river to see him fold. Second time one player makes it to the flop in which I 2xBB bet to see him fold .

I feel your pain bro, it's actually worse than not getting any cards due to the little voice that feels you're entitled to get something after waiting so long. strawberry floater, I hate that little guy.

Thanks for the support, Sykes. We'll beat that little bastard one day .

On a lighter note, there is some very easy (but very small) money to be made on the $1 DoN PL Omaha games. I have played around eight of them now and I am yet to lose. There are people on there who will go all in on the River if they have made a pair of aces. I've been playing it for around one day and even during the first game I realised that there's no point staying in a pot if you don't have at least a set and the board isn't showing any straight/flush draws. I'm using these as a way of providing stake money to enter MTT.

Is anyone going to buy directly into the big freeze on ipoker if they don't satelite? Will probably be interested in taking some action if you don't want to pay for the entire seat.

It's either the 19th or 29th of December at 8pm. The text says the 19th and so do some old pictures on other sites but the new graphics on WH say there are satellites up to the 28th.

Ok. I'll have a few goes at getting into that next week. Who's in it atm? I'll have to try and remember my account numbers for the site...

What's so great about that tournament? £50 buy-in and you share a £20,000 prize pool. Eh? Are there not many contestants?

I think there's 2 touneys. I still can't get the software to work though.

The tourney is on the 29th of December at 8pm. It's £50+£5 for entry and £20,000 pool. I think it's a good tourney for a couple of reasons:

1. You can satelite in from £3. The field for these daily satelites are TERRIBLE. Sykes and Zinger will confirm but they are lol bad. If you get a good run like I did you can get a seat rather easily. In addition they guarentee 3 seats and as of yet (as far as I am aware) not got £165 worth of entry fee so you are getting added money in the satelites!

2. It is clearly going to be super soft. They are advertising it lots and it's a William Hill only tournament. Not only this it is in £££. Just like at the cash tables I believe this means the standard will be so low. British gamblers are terrible on the whole and most of these donkeys are from sportsbetting.

3. The field might not reach 400? If 400 reg then they make the 20k GTD but if not more added money. Atm there are 16 registered, all but one are from the donk satelites. There will be plenty more nearer the time and more will just buyin I expect. I've no idea how many will reg nearer the time but they might not get 400, especially after the British blow all their money on Xmas. This is on the 29th ya.

4. It will be fun and cool if loads of us are in it.

If people really want to get in (for some people this is probably the biggest tournament they have ever played?) then I will consider buying some of your action if you don't want to put up all of the buyin. So if say you can pay £33 and I pay £22 then I get 40% of whatever you cash. Deals will be person specific and sorted over PM but I think it would be cool to have lots of people entering.

EDIT: ffs my HEM is broken.

Only a week til the meet can't wait

Oh something which occurred to me last night, you will need to bring some proof of ID, and possibly address. Otherwise you can't register with the casino and therefore play.

Qualified for the WH thing but thought the sat was a bit o a luck fest.

Qualified to the Big Freeze.
