GUKPT - London
Pears27:
Sadly busted out of the main event on day 1a yesterday. Won"t bore you with the bad beat story (abridged version is KK vs. QTo). Couldn"t catch a cold all day.
Playing the 100 scalp on Sunday.

Stupid stupid stupid!
Slightly above-average chips in Level 8 out of 9 on Day 1B of ME, with no reason not to cruise into Day 2. 90-odd left out of 238 starters. Instead made probably the biggest blunder I have made at a poker table, re-reraising all-in with AK against a guy who clearly had a monster. Such a bad play - he was the easiest player ever to read, getting ants in his pants any time he got a big hand. He could hardly sit in his seat and I had to ask him to stop moving his chips around so I could see what he had (not that I took his chips into account!). Secondly, there was no need to take the risk at that stage. Thirdly, I would rarely get all-in PF with AK anyway in any game (apart from the usual caveats about stack sizes, stage of tournament, position, etc), never mind against someone who is so obviously already ahead. He had KK, which left him on 50k+ and me on 2k.
Out early in Level 9. So unnecessary.

Sounds like a cooler to me

Had a good end to the weekend having (just about) cashed in the £100 bounty - 11th from 114 for £110 plus £100 in scalps. Not staggering, but my first major tour cash, a place on the world player database etc.
Also took a four-way chop from 51 runners in a £100 f/o at the Equal Chance club (a new venue for me) on Friday night for £700.
All good fun, and not a bad return for a mostly recreational player like me. Now back to the humdrum of my everyday working life... :(
