+1. Have they started the satellites for it?

[DML]

I'll take action if I reach the main event itself.

There's always satellites for the Sunday majors and if you qualify you can unregister and your account will be given the buyin amount in Tourney dollars. You can use these to play tournaments and sit and go's any time.

[Red Devil]

Thanks. I'll take a look around and see what I can find then.

[Nova]

Luw, that sounds like a good idea to me. I'm in for that. Will certainly attempt to get in!

Sweet QQ in the SB. Let's hope I get some action from it.

tomson34: raises 80 to 100
tigriske12: folds
rodrigowce: folds
19gow63: folds
gavrosh379: calls 100
boggie112: calls 100
voron764: calls 100

Good spot for QQ here. Apart from UTG I've probably got the best hand so I'll push here to hopefully get any raggy aces out of the pot and isolate the initial raiser.

whiskey920: raises 1380 to 1480 and is all-in
TIP_Omsk: folds
tomson34: calls 160 and is all-in
gavrosh379: folds
boggie112: calls 780 and is all-in
voron764: folds
Uncalled bet (600) returned to whiskey920

Two callers is a bit of a surprise. I wonder what the second caller has. Definitely nothing that has me beat.

Ah well. The ace has come down but at least I should pick up the tidy side pot....

That's a shame. I'm just about to pop out so I guess I can't play in that. May play a little tonight, but struggling to have the enthusiasm for some reason...

@Drummy. Bit late to be posting that, no?

Well the fact he posted it meant I reg'd.

Let us know how you fare!

Rinsed the cash tables down Grosevenor last night for about £390.

Really crazy hand:

I was texting on my phone and I was in the BB the card lands on my phone as a lift it up. Dealer announces Q of spades exposed to the table and I keep my card. 4 way limped pot. Q4Q flop. I check as apparently because my card was exposed I am not allowed to be the aggressor. But I am aware there is a guy pretty drunk with headphones in oblivious to the action of the table with about £70 in his stack (he has already spewn about £300 to the table).

I check he bets pot sized I call. Blank turn. I check he bets pot again, I call. Blank river. He jams what is like £50 in all in and I call for the reason that I know he was unaware I had trips whilst the rest of the table new. Dealer announced I had trip Qs before I turned my hand over the guy had taken his headphoens off and asked the dealer how he knew that and the dealer said 'I announced Qs exposed. He started getting really angry about the situation and believing that he should have had been made aware even though he had his headphones on.

Floor manager comes over, the table agrees with the dealer when he said I announced Qs shown. I was never the aggressor and the guy had just missed the fact that my queen was shown. Floor manager dictated that I win the pot and lack of table awareness is not a viable reason to split the pot up.

I played a few micro MTTs earlier, mainly the $2.50 turbo 180s. Ran terrible in almost all of them but finally made a 2nd place in a $2.50 180 man for ~$80.

Just reached the cash in an $8 MTT too, but was planning on going out tonight so not sure if i'll continue with it much longer.

Rinsed the cash tables down Grosevenor last night for about £390.

Nice! Would have been well unfair if you'd lost the decision on that pot. If someone chooses to wear headphones then they can only blame themselves if they miss something.

[DML]

I won a jackpot hand last night!



Quad 3s scooped me £40! Would have been double that, but someone hit a Royal Flush the night before.

Busted out in seventh 9-9<A-K. At least the buy-in was covered and more with that hand though.
