Good at poker, rubbish at bingo.
Yeah, you're all right on that issue - It was a bit of a lottery at the end. Still, can't think of too many places with a better structure. Maybe casinos are better, being a bit quicker at the start, but for banter and a few hands, I don't mind it taking a while.
Anyway,
Drummy pretty much identified the players on my table, so I can't really add to that, but despite how bad at least three of the players were, I had almost nothing for the first six levels of the game. I eventually picked up AA and, after UTG (horrible player) limped, I raised 5x and he called. Board was a fairly innocuous 33Q48 board, but he had K3, obvs.
I hadn't been above starting stack for 6 hours, and I was letting everyone know (
), whilst the rest of the guys had been on a bit of a rollercoaster but were all up. I didn't get AI and called at any point in the game, actually. I stole a few blinds as they got higher though, and bluffed twice with JK on T high boards which brought me to about 15-20BB. They kept giving me credit for hands because I had a rocky image, but to be honest, it's just because I'd been given almost nothing.
In the later stages though, I got some cards. Chopped a pot with AK vs AK, and then finally got QQ. Raised up to 2.6x ('it's those internet kids, mush!'), and got called by a fairly loose Scot. The flop came Q96 (two spades). So great, but I'm not making any money out of it. I check, and he checks behind. There is something like 45k in the pot at the time. The turn is a 4 of clubs, putting another flush draw out. Still not great though, so I get my weak face on and bet something like 20k into the pot. He tanks for a while, before calling. The river is a 9, which is a good card really, but again nothing to get him to commit with. I bet 35k into the pot of 85k, and he tanks, goes to throw away his cards, then tells me he's going to make a bad call. He shows AT, and I am happy with myself. He called even though I only left 20k behind. Obviously not really paying attention, but then I knew that he wasn't, tbh.
Nothing else really, apart from shoving and getting folds. FT I called Gaz all in when I had AQ and he had QJ, then I folded 99 pre to a shove because the BB was committed. Lucky for me as the first guy had QQ and hit quads! Apart from that I was just shoving and people were folding, right up until 4 people were left.
A deal was discussed, and it was pretty good for me. £200 for everyone, £260 left to play for. I call a button shove with A4 (he had T7) and he hits a T to knock me out. Still, pretty decent considering I was going nowhere fast for much of the game.
Oh, and Drummy, just whip me £20 on Stars. I'll be disciplined and take it out Can I do that?
