Finished 283rd out of 11,000 in the Ante Up SCOOP which only gets me $66. I ended up going out with AQ losing to J9o. I made a large raise pre flop and he called then the flop was 9 high flop and all clubs. When I put him all-in the guy snap called despite not having a club and I hadn't been raising any hands so I could easily have had him dominated.

It was the first time I'd raised pre flop for ages so I could easily have had a monster so I think I was very unlucky that he called both pre and post flop. I wasn't getting any decent hands in the whole tourney and the nature of Antes Up meant I was seeing tons of flops yet I never really hit any. Basically all of my chips came from steals so I guess I was lucky to last as long as I did.

I also played the Turbo SCOOP at the same time and got knocked out of that just before the cash with KK < TT after getting it all in pre flop.

Raise QQ utg and button min re-raises. Flop comes 762 so I figure I'm ahead. I check, he raises so I stick in a re-raise to about 80% of the pot. He goes over the top and I call. He turns over A2 and turns a 2.

Pokerstars made up for that with a running straight on another table so I can almost forgive it.

[Red Devil]

They've made up for it now after beating aggro donk for a tasty $13.50. He called a short stack's raise 3 handed with 25 and the flop comes 2A5 and short stack turns over A10. Hilarity ensues.

Then a couple hands in to HU I raise QJ on the button he min re-raises and I call. 86T on the flop. Check, check. Turn comes a J and we both get it all in. He turns over 86 and I river a Q to out two-pair him. The icing on the cake was he had about 200 chips left so he shoves the next hand and I call with 32o. I hit the 2 and make a running flush.

Feels good man.

I was planning to have a good day today. I used the last of my tournament dollars on two $10 sit and goes and busted in 9th and 7th respectively. Everything that could have gone wrong did. I went out of the first game in the first hand when I got it in with 22 vs. A3 on a A25 board.

I forgot to mention a few days back I won a $7 rebuy on Ipoker for around $1200.

Edit: It was for $1.217.16

Final table chip leader just open shoves I call with about 15-22 BB left can't remember with 1010 and he has QQ and I get s traight and double up giving me the chip lead. I just then play really aggro and one guy is sitting out so I just keep chipping up as no one is really playing back at me despite all my opens. I go into headups with a 2-1 chip lead after 2nd knocks out 3rd. And one of the first few hands the other guy 4bet shoves 30BB with A9. I call with A10 and win.

[Drumstick]

Wow nice. Just checking you recent cashes out on Shark Scope and you've had quite a few great scores recently.

Nioce one ecno! You know you are doing well when you forget about a $1200 cash

Is anyone else playing the 4x Shootout SCOOP tournament tonight? It starts in 30mins and should fill up so you'll have to be quick if you're interested.

It's 10max so going to be tough to even get past the 1st round, but you never know.

Such a joke. If there's anybody that still plays on this appalling excuse for a site, get your money out now.

Judging by how I am running today, Sat, no I won't be in. It's actually a bit sickening at the moment

Missed an opportunity to triple up as I folded to a 3bet because it was so early in the tournament.

Out in 4th on the 1st table. I lost half my stack early on when I bluffed someone on a KQ9 flop and they called, then the river was a jack and so I had another stab at the pot but they still called. They had 88

I got those chips back when I doubled up with 44 v KQ on a 884 flop. I think I only had one good hand after that which was TT but I had to fold pre flop as the big stack had gone all-in. When it got 4-handed I seemed to get 3bet every time I raised and as I didn't ever have a good hand I had to fold. I saw a cheap flop with 56 (no clubs) and the flop was 78x all clubs. We both checked and the turn was a 5 so I bet into it and then got reraised all-in and so I reluctantly folded.

I was very short after that and the guy who had been playing tightest suddenly started playing very aggresively and stole my blinds every orbit. I was down to less than 10BB and so decided to play back with A2 but he had 44 and made a FH.

Maybe if you jumped on the England hype train you'd run a bit better.

[Psychic]

Nah, it's been like this for months now.

[Drumstick]

November, right?

For goodness sake! I'm playing really well in the $5 rebuy, but everytime I get up to 30k (above average), the same guy beats me with awful hands. My QQ lost to his A7 on the river, and then I lost with KK vs his 88, after he hangs on until the river for a straight and somehow I don't go bust. Still alive, but now not by much
