El Nino tweeted that Kurt has 710k, so not sure which of those is right.

Take it down and be the first mod with a bracelet! And the cash is pretty nice also.

GG Kurt and a nice 5 figure score!

Nice run kurt. Solid cash.
06-05-2010 , 02:30 AM
yeah, 72k, it's a safe bet that Kurt's gonna be splashing around at the live 5/10 games now.

Thanks guys!

FWIW I've heard multiple times today that my comfort in live games was an edge on the players who had a better technical game than me.

[x] in after Kurt...

Well done dude...

I feel like the local club rakes a lot, 5 bucks in a 1/2 no capped buy in game that occasionally plays deep but minimum buy in is 100, which unless the game has someone who bought in deep orginally usually isn't surpassed much. It is also 5 to go, so as soon as the flop comes they are raking a substantial amount of the pot. I think like $2. This feels kind of ridiculous.

Our local B&M does exactly that, it's only 5$ but it's 20% or more.


NH Kurt.

Here's me late to the party... Good job Kurt!

Finished my exams last Friday so I could finally get back into some live poker/go hang out with my live grinder friends. Went down to play the monthly Ł300 in Nottingham, busted in the 2nd level (lol), then spent the rest of the weekend playing Ł1/2. Then played in London a couple of nights ago and had a pretty sweet 4 figure score. Ah, live poker.
06-08-2010 , 12:07 PM
Props Kurt. Impressive

The players at my B&M can play the turn autiously and lay down bottom set correctly on the river when the draw gets there.

Yet preflop they routinely call a short stack's raise of 25% of his stack with hands like 33 and J10o. How is there a such a gap of knowledge in the most important street?

Reading the board and putting people on ranges are two different skills. AK<33 and he knows the raiser has AK pf.

Lots of the players in the spread games around here come from a tournament background to one extent or another. I think they just flip into a tournament mentality with this type of thing.

I know sometimes I will make calls on these SS players with less than optimal hands because a) I want them to bust and put a real buy-in back in play or b) because they are good for the game and want to keep them in for the dynamic they add to the table.

Congratz Kurt! Also, did you mean just live games? Or cash games?
