Out of the two of you who won packages, I wouldn"t be calling you the luckbox. But you both deserved it.
Well played Dan.

You didn"t see how I got to the final table.
K9 > AK
A9 > KK
Was down to about 5 big blinds. Got very lucky to get back in it.
The final table was cruel for all. AA, KK and QQ all out-drawn. AJ outdrawn by J6. Can"t remember the others. It was swinging one way and then the other. Poker"s a cruel game at times.

No, she"d rather go to Italy to meet up with an school friend and go shopping in Milan. Can"t imagine why? I pity the shoe shops when those two get going...

Finally proof that BlueSq is rigged!!!!
All joking apart well done Daniel it was quite a tussle when it was down to 3 you could not bet on who the 2 qualifiers were going to be

Having had my aces busted by jacks on Saturday night, and a really bad cash game at DTD on Friday night, I was in one of those depressed poker states when nothing goes right and all you can do is bemoan your luck and either take a break or battle on and hope the downswing changes soon.
I think I"d been saving a few weeks of good luck all for last night"s sat. I just couldn"t miss. I must have been all-in for my tournament life about 8 times before getting to the final table, and I won all the races, and also won the ones that weren"t really races (like my K9 v AK).
So when it got down to the last 3 and my aces were cracked, and my AJ beaten by J6, I could hardly complain that I was unlucky! There"s nothing quite like the tension of being on the bubble of a satellite, and the bubble seemed to last for ages with each of us having a go at being the short-stack and the big-stack.
Like I said, it was my turn to be lucky last night.

I think I won all my races last night until it got to the final three. On another night, I"d have been out during the 4th level.

-
Great satellite this evening with Linda Iwaniak and Kevin Shutt taking the $600 packages to Vienna. Jim Lynott finished an unlucky third but $240 will see him part way! Unlucky also was Walsall Bronze medalist Paulie Davis who bubbled in fourth.
-
That luckbox Lynott...JJ vs my AQ...board 89QxT :o
-
WP and Congrats Linda and Kevin.
-
Well played you two - see you in Vienna!!
-
Thanks guys... c u there
Sorry Jim, 50-50 whether I was calling with that flush draw, you just didn"t have enough chips for me not to. Hopefully you will still be going :)
If I"d known it was Paulie and Jim I would have done lots more raising LOL ::)
-

I think Jim, Terry and I are definites (assuming we luckbox our way tonight or the clickfest).
If I"d known it was Paulie and Jim I would have done lots more raising LOL ::)
Linda..with your rock-like image, everyone knows, if Linziwan raises..she"s got the goods! ;D

Well, we know she"s got two cards... ;)

I"ve been reading the ipoker debate over the last few days and thinking it cant be fixed surely, the cards go the way they go. But last night i got a slightly different view. Playing on a cash game whilst in the qualifier i got AA, there was a raise so put in a minimum re-raise, got a caller, board comes down 8 high, opponent bets i re-raise the pot, he moves all in i call he shows JJ, river is the J - AA busted.
thirty minutes later in the comp i get AA, again there is a raise i oush allin get call by JJ, yep you guessed it J comes and i am out in 20th.
Apart from that whos up for this coach trip????????

Congratulations to Linda on a disciplined start to the tourney, rising to a crescendo on the final table! I had my share of good poker variance on the way, but pleased to be going to Vienna. I look forward to meeting old friends and making new ones, see you soon ;)

Third Qualifier tonight, just the 28 runners which means one package for 1st and $240 for 2nd.

wow 3 LPM"ers in the last 4, I knew if you had had any sort of a draw you were likely to call, Couldn"t take the odds out of the pot and was fairly certain I was in front, I couldn"t do no more than get it in with the best of it, Your overcard (Ace) changed the odds quite significantly maybe giving you the edge, 10 outs twice. The other way round I would have called the push in a flash, it was a ticket winning moment and you had to take it, had you lost you would have had a decent stack left to still play a proper game.
I will see you in Austria as whilst the $240 was a decent consolation, I managed to luck out and take the ticket down last night. So $840 over 2 nights and a guaranteed ticket not a bad weeks work.

Good going Jim, it was worth taking the third place that $840 is going to more than cover your costs.
Just hope Richard now wins a seat as I have already bought his ticket for the flight. He would have preferred to go to Brighton to defend his "Good Friday Festival tournament title" that he won last year so if he doesn"t get a seat I may come over on me own.....
Now booked a hotel - will be staying at the Hotel Zental.
C u there ;D
-
Well I am buzzing!
At the fourth time of asking I have eventually got through! A very close game, was very determined not to throw it away again!
Will see everyone in Europe!!
-
That bloody Magnus (Luke) luckboxed it again tonight. :"(
-
Congrats Tim!

That bloody Magnus (Luke) luckboxed it again tonight. :"(
Not really sure if that is fair!
Two hands stand out. First, when I caught the miracle Jack on the river. My JJ was looking to get busted by AK when the K was found on the flop. The other when I made a move with middle pair, got called by Top pair and the turn brought me two pair.
But in a previous hand I held QQ, called an all in from AQ and saw him hit the A to take a massive pot, so I think it all evens itself out in the end!
-
I"m only kidding Tim, i"m just on about the hand before you busted me out in 3rd with your 39o vs my 10 8, congrats man!
-
No probs!
Thats the hand I mentioned above. Was gutted when you showed top pair, though the turn from my perspective was a lovely site!
