I heard all the chatter about this whale last night so I immediately came down to the casino. Finally I get a seat in the game. (must have just missed you) But before I even got to post two guys played a hand and the one guy took maybe two minutes on the river. While he was tanking the whale who wasn't even in the hand goes "can I please call time?" He gets told that you cannot call time in a cash game and then says "ok then I go" gets up and leaves :'( :'( sad times . ****ing live poker sometimes. Oh well.

Gl in the high roller Ben. Cheers buddy.

Had a fun day today. Woke up late, went and grabbed lunch and then went to the 'beach' courtesy of blakkman. By beach i mean rocks and 0 sun - worst beach of all time haha, sorry allan

Then had an MTT coaching session with solidthought in preparation for tomorrow, thank you mate!

The rest of the guys decided to play online today while i went to sit some live. The games were the same as yesterday - lots of regs and passive fish. Still good enough imo though. Had a couple interesting hands which are below.

First one is the biggest pot of the day and probably the most fun pot i've ever played, albeit, i lost many many euros and over played my hand massively:

6 handed

UTG
Hero ~€1250
BTN €200
BB €1500

Open from UTG, i call co with AJo, btw fish calls, reg sqz, BB to 50, raiser call, i call, fish calls. Flop comes QT6r, bet 105, fold, i call, fish calls. My call otf seems a little loose but fish only has 45 back ott so if they were to shove the reg couldn't 3b. Also i feel that because i am so deep with the reg i can manoeuvre pretty well post turn. This is definitely a relatively loose peel i would say but 3b pre was so small so the cbet wasn't really that big for a 4 way pot. Turn comes 8 bringing fd. (Board QT68). Reg checks, i check, fish moves in for 45, reg calls (This is where it gets spicy) i check raise to 200. I did this because i felt that the reg always has a 1 pair hand when he takes this line as he seemed to play relatively straight forward. I thought that i rep so insanely strong and if he even calls turn i can over shove into the side pot and get enough folds and also breaking even in the hand with a freeroll of 8, maybe 11 outs vs the fish is a pretty good result for me. reg tanks for a good while and calls. River bricks off with a 3 (Final board QT683) Reg checks and i tank shove around 800 into the side pot. Reg tanks for 10 minutes and ends up calling AQo. Fish has AQo too and i lose all the money. Fun hand!

Next hand was pretty boring but funny how it panned out.

UTG
MP €1100
Hero €1100

2 hands before i have 3bet villain with trash and he's folded pre flop once and once to a cbet otf

Straddle, UTG opens to 25, MP 3b to 63, i cold 4b with AA (First AA of the trip (sun) ) folds back round to him and he tanks for a while and raises to 330... I tank with adrenaline pumping in my head and tank call. Flop comes A34 and he snap jams... I of snap call and it runs out 9 7 and i table AA. He shows KK and says, too sick, gets up and leaves :s

Had quite a few medium sized pots (~500-600) but they were just not interesting hands. Pots just get extremely bloated very quickly. You gotta be very well rolled to play these for a living i'd say.

Just got back in and everyones gambling so looks like it'll be a late one even though we gotta be up for the high roller tomorrow!

Thanks guys. First break I'm on starting stack. I have to say I've started by playing ludicrously spewey and am very lucky to still have this many chips. Gunna reign it in and play some solid poker now.

One of the hands in question was utg opens for 400 (100/200/25) 3b by reg otb to 1050 I cold 4 A3dd to 2700 out the sb, fold and call. Flop Q85r no diamond... I cbet 2800 and get a miracle fold.

Everything about the hand was totally pointless.

Right, at dinner break and we're back on average at around 55k. We doubled in a hand where reg who has just sat calls my co open in the bb, I have AQhh. Flop comes 843hh, check, I check back, turn comes 3 and he 1.4x pot turn... I call, river bink Jh, he tank jams for over pot, I call and he shows 57o. Got some real tough players on my table now including thecleaner11, Simon deadman (a great live uk reg) and stars pro theo jorgensen (who seems pretty tight).

Having dinner now and then back to it. 7/9 of us still in, smb and deepz busto. Pretty great result!
