I'll probably start a 180-man sometime between 19:00-19:30 if anyone wants to join me. :mrgreen:

lol you are yet to play HU cash. People will call along with some very weird hands. Underpairs etc. Some of the fish are very bad at river plays. I make most of my money just pwning showdown vs fishies.

Sorry, I was thinking of general cash, not HU.

I'm up for the GRSOP. The only thing is I'm moving into a new flat on Saturday and my housemate who hasn't moved in yet is supposed to be setting up the internet, but I don't think he's done it which means I'm unlikely to have internet for a week or two

I don't mind missing it though if that is the best time for everyone else.

Now that same guy is about to start his second challenge: turning $5 into $100,000 within a year (he reckons he can do it much quicker but doesn't want to be under tons of pressure).

Here's the link if anyone wants to follow it: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54/poker-beats-brags-variance/boku87-challenge-2-a-533223/

After losing his initial $5 in the first day he started again and in under 6 days he has turned $5 into ~$1100!

No.

Who will I rail in ridiculously large MTTs?

And please keep us updated with that Boku thing. I don't use 2+2 but it is certainly interesting.

How's the MTT going?

PostRe: The Poker Thread - GRSOP by **Drumstick** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:24 pm

Just went out in 31st. I picked up AK in the small blind, and a guy in mid position who has me covered slightly pushes. I have little more than ten big blinds (150/300) so I'm obviously calling all day. Anyway he flips over 22, the flop is a bunch of nothing, like 7 high, 2 on the turn, and an ace on the river not that it mattered.

Can't wait to get back on Poker Stars

I joined a MTT tonight found out I had funds in a Ladbrokes account, 2k gauranteed just moved up to 29/209 with this hand!

PostRe: The Poker Thread - GRSOP by **satriales** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:32 pm

I decided to play the early double tournaments on Full Tilt. In both tournaments I get KK very early on. The first time I raise pre and someone else reraise all-in so I call. They have AT and hit an ace on the flop to knock me out

In the other tourney I again raise pre with KK and get reraised all-in. This time they have A5 and hit a straight :fp:

Edit: More proof that it's not going great today:

Down to the last 100 players from 749 20 won't get paid.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - GRSOP by **Slayerx** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 10:49 pm

I was down on chips with 87 left in when I got this hand.

I was happy with the way I played it as I did think about pushing pre-flop and when he called the range I put him on a big hand as he's been really tight so far obviously intended to bluff the hand using his image.

Out in 56th place with this hand :cry:

I know how you feel. 3 and a half hours, 5 4.40's and great play leads me to 2 min cashes and being out of pocket. I really hate this game sometimes. I wish I knew what I should concentrate on.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - GRSOP by **Drumstick** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:05 am

Where did you place in the last one? What happened?

I reckon I'll play another tonight.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - GRSOP by **Psychic** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 12:19 pm

15th, pushed w/9BB's and JJ, got snapped by QQ and AA. Raaage.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - GRSOP by **Drumstick** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 3:46 pm

Sick. I’ll be playing again tonight, same poker time, same poker channel.

PostRe: The Poker Thread - GRSOP by **satriales** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 6:14 pm

I just played four $3+0.25 turbo 45 player SnGs. Cashed in two with a 1st and a 6th for $51

I lost a huge portion of my chips with the following hand, the donk that called went on to get 2nd and I came back to win the tournament 8-)

When we got down to 3 players I had 57,000 chips, 2nd place had 5,000 and 3rd place only had 3,000. Blinds at that point were 1,000/2,000 :lol:
