Cya in bout an hour or whenever we make our way into civilization

Had a winning session this afternoon and i'm not planning on playing again.



vs good reg:



2nd hand fish:



where's the call boooo:



Gunna hang out with the boys and then play football tonight. It's vs an unknown team with very good results so i'm very excited for it!

Playing UKIPT tomorrow so will ofc be updating throughout the day.

will be bumhunting the micros upstairs while you crush the mtt gl!

I'm at table 11 so come say hi. Good luck at the cash tables!

So there's one fish on my table which is a positive. Also lost 6k of my 25k starting stack in the first level. Got tripled by the fish on an A high board, my AJ vs his AQ. Then called out the BB with J7ss vs a utg open. K67ss I check raise 350>1100 and get 3b to 2500 and call. 8d turn check fold vs 3100 bet. Will update at the break

Things going pretty awful so far. Halved my starting stack in boring fashion.

Called a 3b co v btn with 9Thh. Flop 865hxx check call half pot, 5 turn x/x river 8 and I bluff for 55% pot. Called by kings.

Other than that whiffing a few flops with 44-77. Still got plenty of chips, roughly 40bb so plenty of room to manoeuvre!

I'll come and have a look around when I pop in around 7, hope you get the lot! glgl

What's the standard of play like? Also to the guy playing cash, what stakes are running, and are the games good??

I personally didn't think the games were that good yesterday, relative to any other live poker outing.

I wasn't that surprised really, as they're never that great when big tournaments are on (unless you're playing 2/5 or 5/10 or higher). I ended up going next door anyway (pro tip if the biggest crushers are sitting out the games probably aren't that good!!)

Sweet, if I'm still in!

My table has been ok gaz. The couple fish I had have unfortunately now bust though and it's now pretty reggy. I'm unsure about the cash games too, sorry.

Funny spot in the tournament. I got 12.5k Open 700 with KK 4 calls I'm oop to all. 9T3 cbet 1800, call in 2 spots. Turn 6r. I bet 3100 fold, guy thinks for a bit and puts in 5k chip and 100 to call but floor gets called and it goes as a min raise. I obv ship and he has to call JQo for the super sweat.

Was up to 28k which was average stack. At roughly 22k now. Made a fold near the break where a nit 3b btn v mp and I folded TT in the sb. He said he had jacks but was going to fold to a 4b. The classic

Well I just busted. What a horrible live experience yet again! Bled down to 20bb due to not flopping a pair for 5 hours and finally ended up opening AKdd co, reg thing calls the small. 9TKd and he x/r me 1500>5k. We gii and he has the old 9To for the epic sb call. Gg and Gl to those playing tomorrow!

Well, if you get dealt barely 60 hands an hour you're not exactly going to wait for JTo to come around are you :P.

gg, hope a 2+2 group outing to the vic is coming soon! Get yourself a mohito bud, they do nice cocktails at the hippo!

You internet players always overplay AK

reg thing online = super crusher live
reg thing live = fish

Why are we 3betting this hand against a fish's utg raise pre?

In Hand 3, with 79s again, your 3bet size is 4x compared to 3x in this hand. Any reasons?

paha, you're actually right though Bet folding there seems SO dirty

you make a strong point

the fish was very bad. my hand is too weak to call and in my opinion too strong to fold (this is definitely arguable though). The 2nd 3b, i have std 4x vs min open and 3x 3b vs 3x open. Hope that clears things up!

Had a quality night last night, especially after such a gruelling live grind. It was great to meet the likes of gazzy and martim for the first time after being in skype groups with them for over a year!

Above EV hand:



semi fish/reg:



snapped by reg:



fkn nitring. no one will believe me, but i tanked for ages cus i was going to fold. the dude has 100% won when turn raise off 6 ops... and is also very very tight. I shouldn't iso pre fwiw, probably a big mistake



Going to sticks and sushi tonight which looks awesome.

gl on the friday grind!

Look shopped, no way mayo owns a shirt with a collar

Who's the one with the girly hair?

I understand that it's too strong to fold, but why do you consider it too weak to call? Would you rather call if it was MW and are 3b-ing because you want to take it HU?

When you say the fish is "very bad", does it mean he will check/fold flop to your cbet? Or is he the "bad" type to call you down with any piece? If he's the second type of "bad", isn't it a bad idea to 3bet him because we will have to flop TP or better?

Just trying to learn and get into your thought process, thanks!

surprising too see smb as top winner

So blakkman confrimed busto

Cool photos man, must be entertaining to meet regs after chatting with them in skype for years. Thought you will be stuck a lot today, but nice comeback as usually.

does smb lose in anything ever, other than supporting newcastle

smb and mayo playing same table .Softplay 101 thrice dont be said blakkman it isnt variance .

He supports Newcastle too? What a guy.

Ben, in the 22 hand do you not think villain would play QT like that though?

oh i didnt know about the newcastle thing.. than just let him win hes having a hard time
