Luky and Chip build a bankroll
Chipaccrual:
Showed the other ace. He had raised preflop. He claimed afterwards that his hand couldn"t improve after the flop.
I"m pretty sure he was raising with more than A7, so I was okay with it. Hated doing it, but right fold. ;D
Chipaccrual:
Just finished the DTD Deepstack satellite (50 Seats gtd)
Was sat in 50th place when the bubble burst, which seems quite efficient to me.
Mad last twenty minutes, no hand for hand, which is a nightmare.
Just got to work out if I can make it this weekend or whether I transfer it to July instead.
A great end to a great long weekend.
;D

I got to play the 55 euro freezeout at the Fitz last night, once the APAT game had finished. Late entry for the first hour, so sat down at a table with James Edwards two to my right. A great tournament, very much up and down time.
Scouse then bought in and took the seat to my immediate left. I think he managed about 12 minutes in total before getting knocked out. Very funny stuff.
All sorts of hands going on. I had a couple of mad laydowns.
I folded ah 7h on a board of 8d ac ad1 jd when the guy shoves all-in on the turn.
Then next hand, after raising pre flop with th ts and getting a caller, the board of jd ac ad and an all-in shove, scared me off.
Eventually went out to an elderly local chap by the name of Paddy. He had limped into a pot on my big blind. I had js 9s, the flop came 6d jh kc, so it seemed as good a place as any to get my remaining stack in.
Now Paddy has already been dealt aces twice, kings once and flopped quad 3"s since I"ve been sitting at the table, so I"m thinking he can"t keep hitting. He calls quite quickly, and I think I"m in trouble. He"s got kd jc and that"s me done for.
In the time it took me to get up the stairs to say goodbye to a few people, James was following. I said "Have they split the table then ?"
He replied, "No, I"m out, shoved all-in to isolate a shorter stack with pocket Jacks, she had Tens I think. The Big Blind woke up with pocket Aces and knocked them both out"
The dealers at The Fitz are evil at times (But also very good) ;D

Back to the DTD Deepstack qualifier last night, in the cold light of day, here"s a few thoughts on the latter stages of the tournament.
It really does become a crapshoot (as is the case with most satellites) with everyone hanging on for a seat. What did disappoint me though was that there was a lot of softplay going on and everyone, not just the short stacks, running down their clocks.
It seemed that quite a lot of people knew each other and on my table there was even calls to give the shortstack a walk with only one player left to go.
In my view, this is wrong and verges on cheating. It is not helped by a lack of hand for hand on the software and the chatbox can still be used when a player is all-in.
When down to 51 players, I shoved with my 6k stack into the shortie (3k) who was already all in on the big blind. I had AK suited and he was very fortunate to hit a straight. I"ve no problem with that.
I am then very shortstacked along with another player on another table, who eventually shoves from mid position with their remaining 625 chips. It folds round to the blinds (3k/6k) and the small blind, with a stack of 20k+ chooses not to make up the blind and folds. wtf ?
I was lucky and the bb rivered a straight, so I made it through.
Thinking about it this morning, if I had bubbled, I think I would have been straight on to DTD questioning the play at the end of the tournament. Not sure it would have got me anywhere and in this case, for my sake, it makes no difference.
However, it shouldn"t go on. Playing hand for hand would help the situation.
Rant over. ;D
