Once more into the breach dear friends...

Hendon mob (now with added colours) http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=210781

DTD £300+36, 30k stack, Festival Structure, 40 min clock Day1, 60 mins Day2 .... Bliss!
http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/events/300-new-year-special/17294

It"s time I gave a return to my backers, we"ve gone close before. Especially in St Kitts, but this time, this time the aim is to tick off one of my poker goals for 2013 nice and early in the year.

Selling 30% at 1.12 so 10% = £37.50, 5% = £18.75 etc

Personal updates will be sporadic at best. I am aiming to use the iPad/phone much less at the table this year. Tighty will be updating for Blonde though and may mention me from time to time if prompted.

Playing with or without stake and prefer 6 x 5% to having just one backer on the basis that it spreads the load and the rewards.


5% dodgy end - paid
5% Brian
5% Ger
5% JP despite his recent comments regarding my age...
5% Adilong
5% Forth Thistle

Thanks all - bank details sent

All monies received and we"re ready to go tomorrow.

248 entries today and expecting well over 300 tomorrow, possibly closer to 400 so the guarantee looks likely to be smashed.

Day 1a updates on Blonde have highlighted some, ahem, exceptional plays...

Like this, as reported by Tighty

As we hit the third level of the day after 8 levels


Alec Tindal limps

Neil Giblin raises

Tindall calls

5h 3d Tc is checked

Qc turn

Tindal open shoves 20,000 into a 5,000 pot

Playing slightly more, Giblin calls with  Qh Jh

Tindal  5c 6c

river  4c to double Tindal up

---

Same orbit

On a board showing  Ac 3h Ks Td

Tindal shoves his 40,000 into 8,000 from the big blind

Kev Smith on the button faces a tough one with  Aspades Qs and folds, to be shown  Ahrt Ad

DTD was absolutely buzzing yesterday. It was the kind of day to set the poker juices flowing and to inspire a guy.
I"d taken the eminently sensible precaution of buying in online before I even set off for Nottingham and thus when the seat draw was announced I could wander past the queue of less far-sighted people which stretched from the cash desk to the bar. For those unfamiliar with the layout that queue had around 100 people in it...
Table 67 seat 4 would normally be a lock for getting an early move as tables were broken. Yesterday the alternates list meant that it would be unlikely I would move for the duration.

All that was needed to make the day complete was to play well, avoid any heroes and to find some cards and some spots.

I recorded a few significant hands and will C&P them from my contemporaneous notes.




Raise AJo utg to 300
2 callers, nick hicks st 3 and st8
Flop AJx cc
Bet 600 st8 calls
Turn 6 not club
Bet 1600 called
River k
Bet 2500 called by AQ :)

Lose to nick hicks BvB I call 68 flop pair & OESD call flop call A turn call 8 river he has A8 :(

Cold 4bet KK over nick hicks 3 bet
400 to 1350 I make it 2400, nick calls, Jxx ss flop he checks I bet 2700 he folds

Seat 1 raise to 875, me to 2000 QQ, he to 5100...
I flat, in position flop Axx ck ck
Turn J
He 8500 I pass

Raise AQdd to 1000 and get 3bet seat 7 to 2500 one caller back to me I f
flat. flop is K high and 3better leads seat 8 calls I fold
Seat 7 bets 15k covering seat 8 who eventually makes the call with KQ to beat 99

Raise K7dd seat 8 flats after thinking about it? Flop K x 4 I bet 1500  he calls
Turn 4 me 2500 he calls
River 7 me 5000 he folds AQdd face up, I show the 7

Shortly after... Seat 2 raises, seat 7 calls and it all goes ion a 567 flop
Seat 2 has JJ, seat 7, tilted... Has KQ and hits K on river...

250/500/50
Utg+1 seat 2 makes it 1200
Nick calls
I call with 66
Folds to seat 1 who calls
Flop... 6 10 6
Check check nick bets 2600
I call v v v slow
Seat 1 calls
Seat 2 folds
A turn checked round
Blank river checked to me 6100 both fold :(

300/600/75
Seat 2 to 1500
Me to 3200 A9spades
He flats
Flop 89x hh
He checks, me 3500 him 10k
Can"t see him with set or anything
I flat....
Turn Jh
Ck ck
River 9h
Chk chk
He has Jd and ..... Qh :(
Every time he put chips in he was behind.... FML

Donkey in seat 2 continues to outdraw me
He opens 89cc to 1600 at 400/800/100
I 3bet to 5000 AQdd
He flats and we check xx9xx hhhh board....

Reduced to c14k and eventually it folds to my button and I jam 6 8 only for SB to find A10 and hold...


My nemesis in Seat 2 accumulated a substantial stack having sat as an alternate 4hrs in. He opened his first hand in EP with Q4dd and called his stack off on the river having made a flush vs J5dd
He didn"t make day2... But then, neither did I :(

Back today for the incredible £100 which is a reload so effectively a £200

Not really looking for staking but if anyone who has staked me for this, or for any other tourney, wants a max of 5% at 1:1 I"ll pay the reg fee and thus 5% = £10

If I avoid the need to reload I"ll refund 50%

Payment by whatever method you"ve used before and no rush once you"ve said you want it.

Tournament is up and running with 151 entries so far

24 reloads and 2 and a bit levels left for entry/reload means the guarantee should be surpassed

We have average stack with no issues so far

I will cut off staking offers at the end of the entry/reload period which is 5pm

Obviously if I bust before then I"ll post here and wouldn"t accept the stake if it was offered post exit.  :)

Post by: pokerpops on January 06, 2013, 17:17:31 PM
Update
10 mins of the  break left and 194 entries with 50 reloads. There maybe be more in the next 10 minutes..

Avg is 21k I have 26k and we go back at 300/600/50.

I"m not reloading...

Stu and David will get a minimum £5 returned... Or an hour to say "10% please"

damn too late... good luck!!


You ran good sir

Out without troubling the scorers

Will return  the full stake on this one, the exit hand was somewhat self-inflicted...

At 1500/3000/400 utg opens to 10k from a stack of c100
I have AQhh and 3bet to 27k out of 80 anticipating a fold or an all in that I am calling off...
He confuses me by flatting and checks the Kh x x flop
I ship...
He has K 10 :(
A on turn :)
K on river :(

My bad ...
