I"ll give you one very, very important tip on using PT3.
Don"t.
Use HEM instead.

LOL now you tell me! I"ll give it a look.
amcgrath1uk:
Yeah I"ve no idea even after reading everything what to do with PT3 ::)
Just had my best set of 8 sit n go"s, which just after moving up to the $3.50"s, is pretty good timing.
Won 3 and 3rd in 2 which is good.
That"s it for now till probably Sunday night.

Very quick update.
Played just the 84 $3.50"s so far and without looking too hard I"m within $5 of starting bankroll. 2 weeks off work now so after chilling today, will spend a day grinding tomorrow as I"ve no specific plans.
I"ve also set myself a target of playing 8 live games before Coventry, I"ve played 2 of those so far. The joyous £15 bounty on Monday, where despite being up to 9k from a 6k starting stack, I was knocked out in 5 hands, facing a river shove on a 9 4 2 A A board, when holding AK. He had 99 meh. Also played the £15 f/out on Wednesday. A whopping 34 runners took part in this, as a combined freeroll at one of the local casinos plus the recent opening of the G in Didsbury has diluted the runners. Happily, I managed to win the tourny which is always good :)
I"ve not fully decided what I"m playing in the next 2 weeks, but am looking at:
Tonight: £10 + £5 rebuy, usually gets 100+ runners.
Saturday 3pm: £10 + £10 rebuy
Tuesday: £50 f/out, again usually above 100 runners.
Wednesday: £15 f/out.
That"s to start with, will decide about next week after Weds I think.

So I went and played the £50 freezeout last night.Had approx 80 runners which is a little low compared to normal, the effect of having 5 casinos within 10 miles all offering poker is definitely diluting numbers. This is a tournament I"ve always struggled with, never having made the first break in the previous 2 attempts. It seemed to be going the same last night, starting stack of 12k was quickly 5k, looked like one of those nights, I have 99 board comes AKx, I have AK, board comes 9xx etc etc. It did take me a good while to size up my table, and as soon as I did, my chips went in the right direction.
Shoved a K K 10 10 2 board with 77 that took down a 6k pot, then called down a 10 hi board with J 10 against AK, and I was soon up to 18k.
At this point it was the break and then got moved tables. Sit down, first hand into the bb, facing a raise, look down at AA, reraise get shoved on, he had AJ. Thanks for the donation. 4 times in the bb in a row I get huge hands facing raises and each time, my reraise produces folds.... I must have a tell!
We finally get down to 2 tables, and the story of my night is told over 3 hands. In the bb with 8d 2d, see a flop of J 8 2, and we get it in the middle, sb had KJ and turned the K. This leaves me at 40k at 2k/4k. 2 hands later on the bubble I fold my favourite hand Q9 with several limpers. Board comes Q 9 4 and 3 players get it all in. Sigh.
Next hand, find Ah Kh, facing a min raise, I shove, and the big stack next to me instashoves too. He had QQ and I miss. Enjoyed the night apart from some ridiculous I"ve got a bigger cock banter by one bloke who was knocked out.
On the grinding front, it got to Monday night and my roll was down at $141, which is the second lowest it"s been. Carried on, and slightly changed my calling/raising ranges at different points.
Since then, I"ve played 40, 9 wins, 6 2nds, 8 3rds, and the bankroll is now at $226.11.
Going as planned to the £15 f/out tonight, City tomorrow night and then we shall see.
Here"s hoping the grind continues going well :)
