That structure has huge implications for chip dumping, soft playing etc. Quite interesting when you think about it. I could potentially play. It's at the end of half term but still I'd have work on Monday. What time does it finish?

If the other night is anything to go by, between 10-11pm.

You could always leave whenever you needed to and chip dump to one of us.

Sykes and I decided to play a 5k starting stack HU PLO game with 10 minutes blinds so that we could get some real play in.

It lasted all of one hand.

late night drive ? how long does it take?

[Nova]

I may well be in for that game, Chrisps

[Luwinski]

We hold a serious amount of equity in it !

[satriales]

Currently 1/18 in a $20 Deepstack MTT that had 305 entrants. Not massive money or anything but $100 for 9th and $1.2k for the winner, so not too shabby.

This hand is what I was waiting for as the villain is a really good player but super agressive and I knew I was ahead and the check turn would get him to put a big bet in.

Where did he find the call from pre?

Keep updating, Gaz. In library atm.

[satriales]

Where did he find the call from pre?

He is a good player ($66k profit according to OPR) but he was playing lots of hands and just kept being super-agressive and getting people to fold. He doesn't really care what his cards are just picks spots to bluff and it had been working as he was chip leader for a long time.

1/15 now, so guaranteed $73.

[Nova]

Ok, I suppose his play made a fair bit of sense. I may have picked something better than J5o though Maybe he should have raised the flop?

[satriales]

He just took a large chunk of my stack with A4 < K9.
Flop was AKx and he did his usual thing of betting every street but hit another king on the river.

Still got plenty of chips as it's a deepstack but 12/15 now.

[Nova]

Shame. Keep at it though, and then ship me a new bankroll

[satriales]

8/11 but short stack has been sitting out for several hours so just ten of us playing.

Will be glad to get down to the final table as my current one is 5-handed and annoyingly aggressive. That jimsweat guy keeps stealing my BB and I always have nine-high or similar so can't do a lot as he'll call a lot of the time if I push.

Then there's ludovic who will 3bet shove if I try and steal his BB. I already called once when I had 66 in the BB and he over-shoved with KTo but he won that flip.

[satriales]

Finally got a decent hand and am 2/9 now.
