Brighton Easter Rendezvous Festival

(1/1)

Honeybadg:
Is anyone playing in Brighton?

I am only planning to play the 2 day event starting tomorrow @ 8pm. (I am registered for this)

£150 + 15 - with one double re-buy or add on for £150.

You start with 5000 chips - and can take a 10,000 re-buy at 2500 chips or less - or take the add on.

Main Event starts on Sunday £500+50 - I think my brain will be fried by then.

Weird poker and no result - out about 3 hours in when I re-raised what look like a button steal with TT ... of course they had JJ ... thus my two nemisis hands both entry the fray together and kill me ...

Earlier my TT into a board of 672 was quickly folded ... when I bet 2000 in a c2400 pot ... I was not expecting a c30000 all in ... nor really for it to be called.

Player A - up and down straight flush draw
Player B - trip 2s - which held up.

I managed to fold top pair vs some sinisterly slow played Aces.

I lost two pairs to a 4th diamond on the river.
I lost a baby flush to a 4th club on the river too - of course I could have tried to close these pots off - but on a table with few interesting in folding very tough to do so.

I didn"t play great ... but one of those games that you really do need the cards because the poker isn"t that great at all ... considering the buy in - pretty standard/loose play.

Then I dived into a cash game £2/2 NL ... very rare for the pre-flop action to get round below £15/30 which would usually get 4/5 "limpers" ... so a sit and wait game for me and sadly in three hours very little ammo ... though a lot of entertainment from some of the most savage beats I have seen for £1k pots.

Example A - £150 in the middle

Flop is  5d :2d: jc

First to act bets c£200 all in
2nd player - dwells and calls (slightly under the all in)
3rd player - quickly calls.

Player A -  ad 4c
Player B -  jd 4d
Player C -  ks 5c

The turn is a blank ... the river is a 5 ... brutal ...

Later- different players.

Player D raises to 15
Player E re-raises to 40
Player D re-raises to 80
Player E re-raises to 365
Player D calls.

Player D :  ad ks
Player E :  qh 9h

Player E spikes another two 9s ...

I should say Player E and I had very good banter ... and had running £5 side bets on the colour of first card flopped ... he won those too ...

Once the game changes to Omaha ... I happily left ...

Not sure what tomorrow holds!?!

Can I just say that K5 is always monsterous. Definately an all in calling hand. i think this person may be using the revolutionary not so well known inverted gap concept. sheer genius.

The inverted gap concept is one you must champion ...

I am just gutted I got no cards ... 3 hours play and nothing about TT ... no AK or AQ ...
