I'm in for the race.

[Nova]

QQ into kq on kkq flop. Fml. 40 quid from my roll. The general standard was so soft too x

[Red Devil]

Reg'd for the Sunday $1/4m using the free ticket they give from the freerolls.

[satriales]

Just 6-tabled 25NL for an hour and came away with $60 profit.

[Red Devil]

Time to donk my way to $20k.

[satriales]

Another 40mins at 25NL and I increased the profit for the day to over $100, not bad considering I've been busy and so played for less than 2hrs.

Played an APAT game with an individual roll, Betfair is freaky, I swear the software isnt sound.

This guy has gone from SEVEN CHIPS to overwhelming chipleader of 28,000. An utter nonsense.

I don't think I have seen such a good run of cards. I also haven't seen such a bad run of luck post-flop, but considering these are meant to be some of the best ameteurs in Britain, they don't half suck! Guys calling off their 500BB stack on Hand One with A-Ko, and someone who failed to take all my stack when I had A-K on an A-K-7 flop when they have K-K. Nonsense!!

Luw took down the tourney I was playing in for £290!

[DML]

QQ bt by AQ.

Well thats me done for the night.

[Nova]

Arghhh. Crashed out of the 1/4million when a guy who min-raised didn't know how to fold and forget his chips. I shoved A8, he called with Q8, and obv the flop was gin for the bastard. $53, but that was the critical point in the tourney

EDIT - Somehow the day ended in a $6 profit Roll at $1554.

I won the £40 freezeout at northam social club for £290. (This group of people http://pokerdogsuk.com/)

21 entrants with top 4 paid. 40k starting stack with 25 min clock - very good structure. Field was softish with some alright players; especially at the final table. It lasted from 2.30pm til 11.30pm with 10 minute breaks every 3 or 4 levels.

I played it pretty TAG the entire time until the final table then I literally destroyed the bubble. Got really aggressive and just picked up loads of chips. Guy opens MP with about 90k behind to 40k with 5k/10k blinds. I was in the big blind with JJ. This guy hadn't played many hands and I'd seen him show down aces but he only had another 60k back. The reraise all in was for about 30% of my stack so I decided this was a good spot. He tanked for like 4 or 5 mins and called off with KT. Got down to 5 players when a friend bust with 6 blinds (20k/40k) AQ into KK.

I started shoving nearly every spot I could whilst receiving some walks! We get to three handed I ship into the BB with A9 HH he calls with KJ for half my stack and hits river J. I am crippled in relevance to the blinds. So i get shippy and pick up two shoves steals in a row. Next button I ship AK and BB called with JK he flops up and downer with back door spades im like lolacaust. I dodge a million bullets double. Same guy eliminated the 3rd place player who cashed £100.

By now I have 550 000 he has 450 000 with blinds 50k/100k. I make a deal for £290 he takes £270. We went played it out for no extra money we go all in I have Q6 he has 69 so I hold and take down the tournament:

Excuse the picture but I am completely whacked - so tired!

[Luwinski]

Oh - When the time comes to update the roll race I'm up to $900 from $100 in about 3 weeks. You guys at the top better watch out!
