So, Newcastle Grosvenor for the Easter Beast. £110 buy in, 5 day ones with 2 re-entries allowed each day. £20k guarantee and with over 70 last night it will smash that.
Not that I will have any interest in it.
suffice to say that I called an all in on the turn in the belief that my opponent was drawing, I was right, he had a pair, a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw.
I dodged the spades and the ten but not the J which gave him two pair to beat my QQ.
Fatcatstu:
I may have a poke at that game, seems very reasonable!

The Nobbers home game reconvened last Thursday. Seven of us made it and much fun ensued.
I bust first and took up dealing duties, it"s been a while but I was definitely faster than the newly trained pair who were following me from table to table at G on Sunday. I understand that they have to learn, and I offered them both encouragement and support, but with two tables left and blind levels of 20mins it became very frustrating.
I hope they both stick it out and improve.
Thursday"s game ended in a chop after I dealt 22 and JJ to the HU players. Stu took the x22xx board very well considering:)
A very late decision to play at G on Sunday paid off with a 3way chop.
My hand of the night came midway through the game
My Button and there are two limpers at 600/1200/100
I find 6c 3c and decide to squeeze (it rarely gets anyone to fold at this stage, but it felt like a fun thing to do)
Both blinds fold and UTG announces AllIn.... for a total of 4500!
The mid position lumper now tanks for a while and tbh I actually sort of hoped he"d shove so I could fold...but he folds leaving me to call 1400 to be HU for a pot of about 12800.
I say, "oops, I have to call, but I have six high"
"You"re ahead" says he "I have 45"
Best hand won too ;)
