How are you guys doing? I'm on a relatively short stack as I tend to play at these sort of things, but still in it.

I went out in a pot I should have quadded up on.

My QQ vs 75 vs AT vs AT. An Ace still finds it's way into the flop.

I made the cash in my 180 player tournament. Top 18 got paid. Came 16th for $8.

I established a pretty tight table image and generally everyone folded whenever I pushed. The highest pocket pair I ever had in three hours was sixes, I don't remember ever making a set in about fifteen attempts and I picked up barely any premium hands. I kept plugging away and pushing whenever I got a hand, eventually doubled with KQ vs KT, although my new chips didn't last long because the blinds were 400/800 and I had 6k chips at best before the blinds caught up with me. Eventually we got down to two tables and I picked up AJ on the button. With the blinds so massive I couldn't simply raise, it was either all in or nothing. Three guys had called the big blind before I pushed. Two instafolded but the other thought for a while before calling with Jacks. Unfortunately, due to me running incredibly bad throughout I wasn't able to hit a miracle card like most people and went out.

I really thought that if I could double and be allowed to play I could at least make the final table. :cry:

Props to Slayer for staying with me throughout.

To be honest barely any of us use Full Tilt. Good luck though, I'm watching.

FWIW I'm watching as it's four-handed and I think you're playing too tight. This coming from a tight player.

I am a very bad bubble player, however I've just bought Colin Moshman's SNG strategy, so I'll give that a read before I play again. I got lucky at the end to win it.

I've been playing some atrocious poker today. Leaking dosh.

PostRe: ***Offical Poker Thread*** by **Rex McGee** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 4:38 pm

Standard PS!

I've only played 2 SnG today. $11 9 seaters. I don't normally play 9 seaters but I think I might in future more often. Took 1st and 2nd, netting $50 profit. Standard was pretty low, might try and knock like 5 of these out per day.

Tonight I am going to play the $20k GTD at half 7. (It's Silver VIP + only so as far as I am aware you guys cannot enter??)

PostRe: ***Offical Poker Thread*** by **Drumstick** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 5:25 pm

I'll spec. Just give me a nudge on MSN to remind me.

PostRe: ***Offical Poker Thread*** by **Nova** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 6:42 pm

Well, I'm well down for today. Down from $135 to $100

Will lower my stakes, and start again I guess.

3rd today at the LPPL, despite never getting a hand better than a pair of 7s. Pretty impressed, and it means one more good result once I get back from London next weekend, and I'll be in the Regional Final on the lowest number of games. SCORRREEE.
