Title: 888 London Deepstack
Post by: Hammerite on July 28, 2011, 11:53:17 AM
I know Daveyb 147, Quasar9, RicayBoy, and myself are playing this, just wondered if there are any other Apater"s playing this that I have missed out. Hope we will all run well, apologies for not making the Glasgow Apat event but see you all at DTD next month.

... mmm ... this is ultra tempting ...

How many runners on day 1A, how many through, are there chip counts anywhere?

How late did it run last night to make the cut?

I was planning to play the one day £150 freezeout at the Fox on Sunday ... there is also something at the VIC which was tempting me ... details to follow in a moment.

Good luck in taking it down.

The VIC event is a bit turbo - but should be very juicy.

£250+25 - The field is their 100 most loyal cash players plus 50 tickets for people to buy in hence should be plenty of chips to gobble up ... first 6 levels are on a 20 min clock, then 30 mins ... 10,000 chips.

Obviously some very good players getting in for free, but not convinced by many of the cash players at the VIC.

Played £1/£2 the other night for c3 hours and watched one guy spew c£1k into the middle ... very little to me I am afraid.

We played to level 9 which was until about 1030 which was handy for getting home. I think there were 70 something starters and about the low 20"s coming back. Looked on 888 can"t find chip counts. More info here http://www.superstack.net/forum

Interesting events ... lowish turnouts ... I never knew they existed or might have played!

I will play something online tonight.

May head to the Vic tomorrow.

Good luck.

Made it to half way through level 9 and my flopped top pair q kicker was crushed by a flopped set. With our relative stack sizes there was only one outcome  :"(. No complaints (apart from the pokey room) - All the best to any APATers left in.

It"s the classic Sunday dilemma - but online has won - I will play the Warm Up on Pokerstars.

Probably play the $109 Sunday Kick Off too ...

Looking forward to playing for Scotland - which is looking like it might be my next face to face poker??

Ended up bubble boy 15/139. Blinds are 5k-10 k and I have 65k left raised it up to 25k folded round to bb who called. I have a9 flop  a67  my last 40k goes in and he shows a6 turn is 6 for his house, so it"s goodnight. The saving grace is that the bubble lasted so long we all put a tenner in for the bubble so we could speed the game up and break the hand for hand, so at least I got £140 so not a total disaster. Great structure I must say even if the card room was a little on the small side.
