Stick up what you are playing.
Playing the Stars 250K
4ththistle..

No sunday night poker for me. My wife is insisting we go and see "Looking for Eric". I cant stand C**tona so will struggle to see this films charm or attraction. I told her that I"d more rather have seen the Sex and the City film.....
However, I will be playing a few STTs and steps tourneys on Party, as well as a few DC sats on stars this lunchtime
-
Playin a WSOP Daily Sat on Titan and I"m sure I"ll find something on Stars. I"ll keep you posted.
-
Stuck in the house with the flu so guess it"s a day of poker for me again today while the missus is out, planning on playing:
Full Tilt:
* Some satellites to the Sunday Brawl
* $27.50 PLO ($25k Guaranteed) - MSOP#30
* Possibly the Double Deuce
plus whatever else catches my eye between now and then.
Pokerstars:
Not really planning on anything, maybe a couple of last minute satellites to the 200 Seat WSOP qualifier...
-
$10k GTD $55 buy in on Rockem Pokem
Virgin Independant League
Virgin Vroll Satellite
Pokerstars Sunday 1/4 Million
-
Weeeeeee ... $11.70 Turbo Double Shootouts are rife on Stars again albeit for the Sunday WarmUp (not Sunday Million). If I get a chance this afternoon, I"ll be playing these.

Good luck to both of you! Everyone"s saying this is the best time to play the big Sunday games because all the pros are in Vegas so get in there and take it down one of you!
EDIT: Just literally bubbled two Sunday Brawl satellites :(
-
Leigh still live in two and I was in two. Railing Rob"s FT too now, GL Guys.
-
I am currently 77th of 1312 from 1728 starters in the Poker Stars $35k g"ee.
I will be playing the Sunday Warm Up - see if I can make the money three weeks in a way ... and not get a bad beat at the end!
Earlier I tried to qualify for the Warm Up. Same person spiked me AJ v K3 (he pushed) and 99 vs A8(he called) ...enough said.

-
63rd on 957 - 252 paid ... promising! (PokerStars $35k g"tee)
Double the average chips ... long way to go.

ty neil. Came 5th with 4 seats available. Was jokingly whinging about not getting any minor cashes a week ago. I"ve now had 3 and no seats!!
-
playing a little $10 - 180 on stars while the chicken is roasting
8/60 and smoking ;D
-
I"m finished with the Sunday Brawl satellites. Played four, went out of one due to my own over agressive play on the bubble and walking into trips but the other 3 I went in ahead every time:
KJ vs K10
AK vs AJ
QQ vs A8
*sigh*
Playing the $10 (one rebuy & one add on) $7.5k Guarantee on Full Tilt now. Only in for one buy in and going to try and keep it that way, above average stack at the minute but not very long into it yet (although 150 players have dropped from the initial 502 already!)...
-
Leigh won a $215 seat in a $11 Turbo Sat to WarmUp ... and has now resorted to the shove-fest HyperTurbos to try to repeat last week"s triumphs. So far, unsuccessfully. It takes balls for someone who claims to run as bad as he does to play shovefests ... ::)

Watched a couple he was in -- simple really close your eyes wth the cursor over the all in button - job done

Neil is so so so right. ;D
Just played 7 of the Hyper Turbo DS (6 max) into the Sunday Warmup.
Got heads up in 5 of the 7 on the first table (With some skill I might add ;) ). Managed to lose every single one of them. In good, in bad, didn"t matter.
As I said to Neil, even a trained monkey should have fluked at least one of them.
Anyone want to play heads up for rolls ?
-
Actually, maybe the fact I"m listening to Pink Floyd isn"t helping my state of mind.
Any thoughts ?

80"s power ballads FTW.
Rock, Hip-Hop or Dance (something energetic) when you"re deep...
:D
Good luck in the Warm Up, TID!!!
Oh and a glass of Scotch and some Frank Sinatra once you take it down!

Leigh won a $215 seat in a $11 Turbo Sat to WarmUp ...
Had to unregister from Warm Up. Was done through joint bankroll and good bankroll management says we pocket the $"s and carry on grinding at the moment.
-
Went card dead in the $35k g"tee ... lost some chips mistrusting a big stack ... then push 69s on the button into AK ... we both got two pairs.
Sunday Warm Up ... fingers crossed for the all the chiefs involved.

Well done is not how I am feeling at the moment.
Last Sunday was quality. Managed to sat into the Million five times. This week is another story, but working on rectifying that at the moment.
Schedule to follow. ;)

Break 1 in the Sunday Warm Up
16k - Average 13k
Pretty solid progress - perhaps a little bit lose in early positions??
4320 started - about 1000 about in side an hour!
L
-
OUT of $7.5k guaranteed on Full Tilt finished 106th from 502 players...
Decided I wanted to build a stack so started playing super agro and throwing my stack around trying to pick up blinds + limps etc. Ended up being blinds + two limps and I pushed all in with A5 suited and was called by AK. Top 54 cashed but ach well, I wasn"t aiming to cash - wanted a stack to go deep. GG.
Taking a break for dinner etc for the next hour before playing:
$27.50 MSOP#30 - PLO ($25k Guaranteed)
and
$22 Double Deuce - NLHE ($200k Guaranteed)
GL in the Warm Up honeybadg!!!
-
Very lively start to the second session
A2 into A2x (two hearts) ... all the chips in vs flush draw ... up to 27k
Looked to get busy ... and chipped back to 23k when I was dealt AKs
I limped for 1000 ... next to act all in for c12k ... called by short stack (6k)
Called to find myself AKs vs KK vs JJ ... and no help.
Would have put me 35th.
Now back in the back.
Just under average 2540 players left. 630 paid.

Just one last thing before I go to get dinner:
I was wondering, what"s everybody"s strategy"s in MASSIVE field online tournies like 10k-20k runners (ie - Tilt"s double deuce and Stars 250k)? Do you just play crazy loose trying to accumulate a massive stack? Only played each of them once as the massive fields normally put me off but going to give the DD a shot tonight and think i"m just going to go nuts early in an attempt to chip up...
-
I"m just not a fan of anything with 1,000+ runner at the moment. I can put aside an hour or so to play and concentrate in the Double Shootouts and the likes but I just can"t bring myself to get excited by such fold-fests. I know I haven"t answered your question ... it just seemed like a good time to rant about them a bit ;D

Not too much folding going on - on my table in the Warm Up.
Very lively table ...
In terms of massive fields ... play just tighter than you perceive the average player to be ... great chance to be double up by people pushing too hard too early ... but need to have the goods ... if you are in the middle of the field a double up has you in great shape no need to be the early chip leader unless the cards dictate.
Of course if you manage to find a super tight table (unlikely) ... fire up the steam roller.
Good Luck

Break 2
25.7k in chips - Average 24.5k
1754 left.
Last hand - Large stack button raises with A3 - I push back for 10k more with A9 - he calls ... suits me ...
Really good hour of poker - action packed - just moved table but some promisingly loose play.
L
-
Yeah on second thought was thinking it"s probably best to play slightly tighter than average and wait for a hand to go up against the folk throwing their chips around. In regards to getting excited by fold fests - i"m the same frame of mind kinda but one look at the first prize always reels me in, lol. I find it easy to play tight through the massive fields early on until deeper in when I"ve got another table or two up. Just leave it in the bottom corner and follow my own tight-ish starting hand requirements while playing my usual game on the other table or two.
Normally i"d consider 800-1,500 big fields though... this 10k-20k field malarky looks a bit more daunting but will give it a bash anyway - I"ve got a feeling i"m going to take it down... hahahahahahahahahah :D

Sunday Warm Up
Made the money just ... $311 back ... first hand after the bubble.
99 vs AA
Hardly ideal but plenty short enough to call pre flop standard raise - board 44J.
622th from 4320 ... cashed three weeks in a row ... so I guess I return next Sunday.
Not bad beaten tonight!

Was up at nearly 9k in the PLO but just lost two sizeable pots and back down to 3.5k :(
Nothing happening in the Double Deuce yet...
-
Thank god for synchronized breaks - Stars really needs to get with the programme!
-
Gone, gone, gone.
-
Gone, nearly gone, new one opened ...

Out of PLO, 526th out of around 1,700...
Got cripled ever since lost the two big pots and not had anything to play with, ended up reshoving in SB after big stack BB raised with JQ97 - pretty subpar but thought I was in better shape than anything BB was likely to have. He called and had pair of Kings in his hand, I hit two pair but was also a pair of Aces on the board which gave him higher two pair.
Still in Double Deuce...
-
Make that out of Double Deuce...
Not really feeling it tonight, can"t really be bothered playing.
I raised, guy calls the raise - BB reraises... I have A10 suited & think **** it and ship it in --- the guy snap calls my all in (which is more than half his stack) with AJ offsuit?!?! Srsly?! I mean i"m not too bothered because i"m up for finishing for the night but that was a horrible call in my opinion. My actions surely look like i"ve got a monster but ach well. GG and goodnight.
Good luck to everyone else still playing!
