No she's a woman....

Yeah I know! I just mean she'd be playing, not sat at home waiting.

Anybody playing?

Just come back from the live weekly rebuy - and its a win for £330. We did a deal £200 each four ways and played on for the £130.

Get this though - second hand of the final table I hero-folded Queens....CORRECTLY! A-K and A-A out there. I finally won the game.....aptly with Queens. Some of the best I've ever played.

EDIT - I must also point out I've had the most stinking week at the online tables. A-K constanly outdrawn by K-Q, Kings into Aces - all sorts of sickness so this is really great after what has been a tough downswingy week.

Nicely done DML. Wanna tell us some more hands? Where was it and the stakes too!

I'm at a $4.50 FT 4/9. All are pretty even though with a few small stacks knocking about.

Should be in bed but okay!

Its an 'unlimited £2 rebuy'. That means you can by in for ANY AMOUNT up til the rebuy break in £2 blocks. You can imagine how crazy it can be sometimes. Anyway, this week it wasn't so crazy but I bought in for £20 - which is 5,000 chips. Blinds 25/50 for forty mins, Blinds 50/100 for forty mins.

Big hand in level two, I'd ground up to 6,900 when five people limped into my J-9d. I checked, and the flop came Js-7d-3d. I bet, get re-raised, guy behind me pushes, so I ALSO push, and re-raiser calls to.

J-9d vs 7-4o vs Q-Jo. I have the only diamonds in the three hands.

Turn 6 - River 9 to give me a better two pair. 21,000 at the break which is the biggest stack.

After the break sickness insues.

I look down at Q-Q, raise - get a shove and snap - he has A-Q - and rivers a STRAIGHT.

I lose 7,000. Down to 15,000.

Next hand lots of action - I have Jacks, push one guy off the pot, get another guy all in with A-Q - he hits an Ace - crippling me to 6,500.

Finally get it all in over a massive raise to 4,000. I am on the button with A-Qs. I reluctantly go all in and he calls with 10s. Nothing all the way to the river, but a lovely Queen puts me back above average.

I turned 20,000 in 33,000 before the final table which was an above average stack.

Thats when the Q-Q hero fold happened.

I stayed around the same until the bubble burst, when I isolated with A-Q (again) against A-10 - wich held propelling me to 2nd stack. We agreed the deal, and a lot of nothing happened for a while before the guy in fourth went.

I was now a short stack - and other shortie shoves into me. I call with 2s against A-7, and hit a 2 (he then hits an Ace) and his final shove is K-8 which I call with A-2. I am losing until a rivered Ace.

The HU went on forever against a guy called Rhys who is super loose. Whover had least chips doubled up. The blinds were massive so more then half of hands were all in. The crucial hand was one where he had previously got me at a 55:45 disadvantage. He shoved with K-Q and I called with K-5. I hit a diamond flush on the turn to take basically all the chips. However he doubled up twice 2-2 > 8-9 and K-3 > 9-9. That left me a bit anxious, before he shoved very next hand for 50k into my 200k. I looked down at Q-Q and obv. snapped. He had K-3 again, but no suckout.

On top, I am now in the top ten of fifty for a Vegas freeroll next month. Cushty.

Have you busted the £4.50?

Hey man! yeah, sorry! Came 7th, having another grind session today.

Good work DML must've been a nice scoop. I find the live victories much more rewarding no matter how big or small they are, I don't know why.

anybody else playing?

Nice one DML and Luw.

I haven't played nearly as many hands as I'd like this month. Partly because an exam I had in the first week got put back a week and so I spent longer revising (passed it though ), and partly because I got addicted to Morrowind, and partly because i've been playing and running bad and and lost the motivation.

I had another short session yesterday and felt like I was playing very well but somehow I still ended up down six buy-ins. Will try again today...

On a better note, I cashed out most of my points for £250 in amazon credit and will probably use it to upgrade an old PC.

I did that a while back Sat, think it's good value per point?

Got black ops (failops) and a new gaming mouse, swish.

Definitely. I got $.0152/fpp and if you went for the $300 bonus instead you'd only get $.012/fpp.
The only way to get better is either save up 250,000 fpp for the $4k bonus ($.016/fpp) or use the points on tournaments.

Having another terrible session today. Down $160. $100 below EV, and even when I'm not getting it all in they are chasing gutshots and hitting on the river.

I'll post some of my biggest losing hands later and see if I'm just playing bad as I can't seem to win anything at the moment.

Just won a seat for the Sunday warm up tourney on stars at 4pm.

Nice!

Would anyone be up for a 4.50 at some point in the week? I can't do tonight as I'm otherwise engaged and it could be a bit short notice for others.

Sunday warm up has just started if anyone wants to rail me.

Can't find you!

I'm at the FT of a $4.40 if anybody is around.

slayerx_82 im just below starting stack but lots of play as you start with 10k
