Matchday 1 update thread

I"m gone, my 5b all in with AK was called by a player who had not yet acted with JJ....very lol at a lot of the play tonight

[dwh103]

Spoke too soon, I"ve dropped half my stack vs a random bluff I very nearly snapped off with 4th pair. Didn"t have enough timebank so took the safe option and folded. Then did 5k blind on blind with A5 vs a weirdly played A7 that flopped 2 pair.

Mr Michael Perry is back in the pack too, sigh.

Feel sick, firstly took a team mate out AK > AJ, but had to call as both getting short and already folded TT to his previous shove.

Whilst I keep an eye on the team aspect, really can"t keep folding hands against them. I guess at the end of the day you have to play your usual game and let the poker gods decide.

Secondly, with the combined chips had hoped to run better than this

[Curlarge]

18 left out of 122 to so in good shape. 2 in top 10 (WarBwastard and GiftLv) and 6 in top 30. 15 in top 100.

Keep it going guys.

[Curlarge]

Well that was fun. NOT!!!

Shoved   with 11 bigs in early position and get re-raised by teammate with AK. K on river.

After all the things we mentioned beforehand about protecting the team numbers and then it get"s completely ignored.

[Munty]

Gone 95th place - damage was done two hands before when I had QQ and two players all in with AK....K on the flop and K on the turn and most of my chips gone.  Left with 10 BB"s so shove to a raise on the button with KQ and get called by AK again....THE END!

[Curlarge]

14 left with 93 players remaining with a few well set. C"mon people.

I"ve tangled with a teammate on a couple of occasions (my 53s v KQ - I had to call given my stack and the pot. Then I jam 8.5BB with J5o, get called by 77 and river trip - wish I"d saved the run good for the Million I just busted).

If someone wishes to play as an individual, then it"s entirely up to them - better that people play than not. Just pop a note on and play as normal against them next time.

seriously?

when we hit the money, we will still need to lose 2/3 of the field before we make the points.

Having 14 or 15 players min cash is not going to win the league - having 7 or 8 get into the cash with decent stacks so that 4 or 5 can then get into the points - that will be the "easiest" way to build a lead in the league table.

Anything can happen with 120 players left it just takes one double up. IMO he can"t possibly think he"s in front as I shove early, so why risk it. Against another team, fair enough maybe but why take out one of your own team, with A high.
