So how are you going to spend the $26.6k you'll be netting for 1st?

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2011 11:47 pm**

Spend it all on Whoppers obv.

Update:
In great shape now:

I very nearly shoved here, so glad I didn't:

Update:
Finished 29th out of 28459 for $370. Got it in with QQ v AA. On a different table I might have folded the queens but this one was so aggressive that I thought he was raising with much more than just KK and AA.

Cheers for railing everyone. :wub:

Nice, won't be long before you smash my 11.5k record.

This was the first hand of a HU SnG I just played:

I know it's seriously small change to you lot now but I'm CL in a 4.40 180-man. Roll is only $200 so could potentially double my roll.

What hap?

Racener and Hellmuth in the final 5 of the $10k Stud/8 Championship.

I just had the sickest HU match ever.

It was a hyper turbo so we both start with 500 chips, but early on I lose a big hand and am left with just 20 and my opponent has 980, so I'm at a 49-1 disadvantage and all of my chips are already in the middle to pay for the big blind. Somehow I come back from that and win the match. :lol:

So sick!

How about the odds for this? Some guy to my right was dealt AA, 88 and 55 in successive hands, and flopped a set each time :shock:

You know what's sick? Me after this:

Good lord. I'm trying not to be one of those people who steams anymore, but jaysus. I have had the worst luck I have ever ever had playing poker today :lol:

EDIT - As I say that, I go on a sick run in my last tournament with A4 vs AQ and JJ vs AQ :lol:

16/240 in that, but as it's a turbo, it doesn't mean all that much.

Out. Just over minraised QJ on the button, loose guy (41/7) calls in the BB. Flop is AK7, so I continue, he calls. I jam turn and he has AT. Meh, hasn't been great tonight

I've been running so so bad in my HU SnGs. I played 27 games today and i'm 11 buy-ins below EV.

On June 25 the Saturday Line-Up launches, a brand new schedule of major tournaments that will run every week. There are seven tournaments in total, with buy-ins ranging from $2.22 to $55, and each with a guarantee of at least $20,000. Saturdays will never be the same again!

NOTE Players are only eligible for one No Lose ticket. If you do not cash in more than one Saturday Line-Up tourney, you’ll receive a ticket for the highest value event you played, e.g. if you played all seven, and failed to cash in any, you’ll get a single No Lose Ticket for the Saturday Omaha worth $55. The free No Lose ticket must be used by July 16.

Worth highlighting that, too. Bit lame, sounded almost too good to be true when I first heard it :lol:

Sunday night maybe?

Speaking of Hellmuth, he got 2nd in the Stud World Championship. That's twice so far he's been a runner up.

Posted: **Wed Jun 22, 2011 10:44 pm**
