    Ty m8........the big question is, for how long??? My roll has been up and down like a tarts knickers!

    lol with DYM's the rake is massive mate, even 3 quid 1s are 10%.

    I can't see how these are profitable, unless you are putting in massive volume.

    I would say best to stick to just tournies. 1 £3 DYM could be 3 deepie MTTs!

    I will prob still play the odd dym, they are quite good for when you haven't got a great deal of time on your hands.

    I am thinking of trying a sat for the double chance tonight but I will not be able to take the rebuy. The structure is great though so can you see this being that much of a disadvantage? There is no addon afterall.

    Have sat into the main event tonight on my first and only attempt. Obv won't be taking the rebuy, but as I've already said the structure is good so I can't see it being that much of a disadvantage. There is no addon either which helps even more.

    Not buying into the mini though.....have only just recovered from last nights losses so will prob just play a deepy and £500 BH on the side.

    BR = £59.22......as playing the 35p BH atm
  • edited August 2013

    No cashes last night but no major damage done either.

    Alongside the Doublechance I also played the £2.20 deepstack (which I never got going in) and the £500 BH (mid stages). The Doublechance started really well and not being able to rebuy didn't really affect me as I built up a reasonable stack by the first break. As we approached the mid to latter stages I made a questionable call from a shortstack shove with 55....they had KK lol. I managed to double up soon after and was sitting with 12bb. I exited by 3 bet shoving with 10's against KQs.......the KQ got there on the river by hitting the flush and out I went in 88th place.

    Quite happy with how I played, like I said there was only that call with the 55 that I'm not too sure about. If my 10's had held then I would have been in reasonable shape as we approached the money. Tis poker!

    Going to have a couple of attempts at the 12kBH sats today then prob play the usual tourneys.

    BR = £54.72

    There's no denying that you're quite fond of the odd bubble yourself.

    I did finally manage a cash last night but I prob played more sats than I should have and ended up slightly down for the evening.

    Finished 7th in a £250 BH......can't find the lobby in the "My Tables" section for some reason.

    Just going to have one sat attempt for the 8k BH tonight then will be playing the orfordable later on.

    BR = £46.14

    Not a bad night at the tables tonight, 2 final tables so can't complain. One hand that still bugs me slightly (will post below).

    Really enjoyed the Orfordable tonight (easy to say when you cash) but the chat on the tables was great throughout and this mtt is up there with the DTD's imo........win or lose it's always a great laugh.

    So, results......played 3 dyms and lost them all, don't think I did anything wrong got my chips in good but it wasn't to be.

    £250 BH....final table

    waller0206£9.05 + £5.16 Head Prizes5

    Orfordable.......another final table. I must confess that I may have been slightly intoxicated by this point (was!) so apologies if I was chatting codsh it/too much...was fun though.

    waller0206£23.81
    Was a great game with a good rail. Friday night orfy is always a good substitute to a night in the boozer!

    BR = £63.21

    Here is the hand that bugged me......we are both the chip leaders in the orfy at this stage. We have been having a bit of a battle going on. I had been 3 betting when they raised in the past few orbits (with the goods ofc ;) ) so I think that they think I haven't got much here. The flush has obv got there but I'm still beating a lot. Is this the right call?? Shoving the river would be bad??? Should I fold given that we are the top 2 stacks? Should I bet the river??? Thoughts please

    Cheers m8........nice one good result. you played well whilst we shared the table. Keep up ur good run in the stts :)
  • edited August 2013
    yea had a bad run the other nite didnt cash 5 in a row but roi is 18% or 19% which not bad tried going up stakes for first time in ages 3.30 dym and won woo hoo.

    But agree this site need at least one more 1.10 tourney every night i love the deepy but just takes too long. One with 5 or 7 mins blind would be great 20 quid gtd or something with late reg.

    I bet the river with the set of Queens and im not folding (unless I know he is station who plays his fd's this way). You have to call.

    I hated the spot, oppo turns up with the flush a lot here. I didn't bet because if I'm raised then life becomes even harder! I did call and they did have the flush. When discussed on the table there were a couple of people who said I should have shoved the river.....but then I would have been bust. As played I left myself with a 9bb which I did manage to recover slightly and finish in the money.

    Not buying in as it's too much for my measly roll!!
  • edited August 2013
    For the value and the fact that it is a BH if you are rolling over £50 I think you should buy in here
  • edited August 2013
    I drop below 50 if I play it........but you only live once.......sold!!!! I'm in!

    naughty, naughty 

    the two of you should be ashamed of yourselves

    what value?

    1/10th of the bankroll on one large field event is totally unneccessary and inappropriate

    & yeah - gl - but you are making things tougher on yourself
  • edited August 2013
    ermmmmmmm........im out the mini lol You couldn't write the script!!! hahaha

    I blame Kalie.......thanks a lot :)

    I had 10's on an 8 high board.......not sure if I should have folded??? oppo had KK

    A true lady would offer me the fiver back......just saying lol
  • edited August 2013
    I am such an idiot!

    1. Shouldn't have bought into the mini.
    2. My exit hand from the main is just laughable!!!!

    This was the 2nd time in the space of 2 orbits where I had 3 bet the oppo and each time he had snap shoved the flop. So.......the second time I called thinking he was just doing it with any 2 and if I was behind then I could have up to 10 outs. Still think it's a poor call though really.......so annoying to lose due to my own bad play!!!!! Given the way oppo had been playing, is there any argument to make the call or is it just BAD???

    Sorry about the poor advice :s!

    Although I am sure I donked off like £2.50 to you on the forum cash so I donated part of it ;)

    If I could repay it I would, I may well go to one of the next SPT's so if your there you can have it back!

    haha no worries it was worth a shot and I did enjoy the 2 hands that I played lol

    Will listen to Geldy next time, although I do remember him buying in direct to the VLV final for £1100 so he doesn't exactly practice what he preaches (still a legend for that though!)

    Managed to cash in the 9.15 deepy (finishing 8th) as well as winning both of the dyms that I played to recover some of my previous losses!!

    Wasn't going to play tonight as I went out for a meal with the family, but got in at 7 and couldn't resist. Glad I did play..........

    Started off with the Prem warm up freeroll with a small cash

    waller021930039£4.07
    Played the £1.10 deepy getting to the mid/late stages with no joy. Wd to Larson for coming 4th btw, wp m8 :)

    The £2.20 went better and I had another final table. Finished 3rd in the end as Ploppy deservedly took it down wp him.

    waller0203£18.47
    At this point though I wasn't too disappointed because I was also approaching the final table of the 20.05 £500 BH...........and won it!!!!! This win was my 3rd in a week and it also over trebled my br. Finally feel like I might be playing a half decent game again. There were over 300 runners in this one and it is easily my best result for many a month.
