Crushing the freeplay tables Henrik?
Can tell coz they didn't respect your raises.
lol im up to 3 k after 3 hands:D
Some guy had 100 k at 1 table haha, i tried to buy in and it said i had sufficient funds in my account:(
I need to grind my 3k
hope you MTTs are continuing well.
just thought I might ask if you play very many timed MTT
in recent days I have had a try on some timed MTTs as well as the odd BH and in 3/5 I have did very well and managed to get a profit of over £15 in two of them which is TBH a similar amount to what I will expect to get in the 2.30 MTT.
what I am starting to think is knowing that with timed tournament being so short sometime it could get players to get more tight atleast they seem tighter than those in BH MTTs
Love this tournie, my fave one on sky. Over 4 hours of fun for a quid lol
Really happy with how I played all the way through, was chip leader 12 handed, and kept/ expanded on my stack all the way to 3 handed.
HU I was playing against fellow tpt'er flyingdawgggg. Very well played sir coming back from a shortish stack to play HU.
I made a lot of mistakes HU, was down to 5 bigs at 1 point but managed to win few hands in a row.
I had K7, Dale min raised, and i jammed expecting a fold. Pocket 8s! A good chunk of my stack away.
Couple of hands later, call raise with Kx, flop comes down x 8 A, i have nothing and try and bluff at it, leaving me severely shortstacked. Normally i'm quite tuned in at HU, maybe it's cause i've been playing for hours, a leak i'll need to fix.
Thanks to JJ for railing, and a big shout out 2 3 barrels, had some cracking banter at the table.
Funny you mention it, i played 1 for the first time today about 5ish. It was a £3 15 minute one, i late regd in just before the close of late reg so only had 10 minutes to play.
I seldom play them but my strategy, is to play pretty tight (you want to preserve chips) if you get a big hand i would just shove it, or if some1 has raised before, just go over the top of them.
The blinds get really big to the starting stack. So i find most times you are getting called. Expecially if people are sitting with a short stack, they want to gamble to get back in it again.
I would say theres not much point in bluffing in these, retaining chips is key.
Unless you have a solid read on someone that says they are not calling, say blind on blind, and you are pretty confident they are raising to a fold.
Good luck with them

Thanks Gaz long may it continue:D
UL in the main 2 night, i seen ur exit hand pretty sick, but you did the right thing can't do more than that,
Nothing big, about £12 quid down which includes, £6 mtt buy ins.
First time in about 2 weeks, have not had a positive return from poker.
The tournies, Orfie, AJ, oppo raises i call in SB, Flop AJx, i check oppo checks, turn 5 I bet am reraised, reraise again and he shoves but i'm pot stuck. Set of 5s, the river bricked.
2 other tournies busted lateish on, AQ versus pocket 10s (twice) all in pre, 10s hold both times. I couldnt win a flip tonight.
I was playing well, apart fromone hand where i done, a good chunk of my stack, played the hand really terrible, was going to fold then called with my straight, on a runner runner (turn river) flush board. Opponent bet 3/4 pot, i min raised?? for value, said if he shoved id fold. Then as the ticker was almost at 0 i thought he could have a set/ 2 pair type hand so called. Of course it was the flush. Really disapointed with how i played this hand.
Yesterday (early hours today) was pretty bad. Confidence is down a bit, know it sounds stupid just how i feel right now. Going to take a break from playing for a good part of today, might play later on.
Good luck everyone
Since my last post has been a really swingy time!
I've been up and down like a Yoyo.Thankfully last night i finished on a high, and my bank rolls at the highest it's ever been.
I made a few mistakes over the weekend, as well as a few bad beats.
I was playing at 4nl, and there was a guy there, who lost about £40 quid over the period of an hour constantly reloading, he then challenged me to play him at 20nl HU. The old play really bad, and challenge them to a game of HU lol He was quite abnoxious too, never really experienced that 2 much while playing poker on the site. Later on he gota bit insulting haha, thought it was pretty funny some one would act like that.
So i decided to play him because i was confident i'd win, but to be fair, i played pretty bad. His style was totally different, playing extremely nitty, not loose like on 4nl. He was quite easy to read, but i played a couple of hands badly and lost about a tenner. To be fair, the loss at 4nl was just for show, he was a reasonly strong player. Weird someone would do that, and at the end of the day he only made a tenner. I've never seen him on the site before, pretty sure he must play else where.
As well as that, i made a good profit at 4nl, donated a lot of this away on the forum game, especially Gaz when he busted my aces with 36, on a 45x board, all in on the flop, for a 7 to hit on the river. Had aces busted another couple of times by junk. That was the downside. The positive returns came from cash 4nl and mastercash tables. There was a bit of a maniac on the table last night, who ended up shoving A4 (ace high) on straighting board, i called him with my straight.
Mtts have not been going so good recently. I played the £1 deepie last night and went out quite early. Maniac raised, and i 3 bet with AK, he 4 bet jammed early doors, i snapped him off. He had JJ's which held. The last 4 MTTs ive not won 1 race, and atleast 2 if not 3 of those hands were AQ versus lower pairs.
My confidence was really low after Friday, it was the first losing day i've had in about 15-20 days. I know it shouldn't have but it really annoyed me, and affected my decisions. I'm just glad i'm back up where i want to be.
I'm hoping to break £500 and sometime within the next week, and overall i want to be up to £1000 in the next few months, Christmas at the latest. I'm noticing a lot of leaks, which if i can sort them out should speed up the process.
I've been playing way 2 much recently, C4P so far this month is a tenner, normally this would be a months worth of poker. Might start trying to play on specific nights, and take a break away from it at other times.
Just glad i was able to start today on a high point, instead of the starting it less than what my bankroll was on Friday night.
Really want to get to Newcastle for the SPT, it's the closest one to where i live/ will be a good experience.
I'd rather just buy in directly, but doesn't look like that's on the cards.
Not a big fan of satelites for some reason. Due to the fact it's the only way to get into SPT Newcastle, i might give a couple of the £5 ones a go and see where it takes me. I'll need to look at the best way to play these, as it is quite a different game.
lol ok i'll give a few sats ago this week, and try for new castle later on in the week/ next weekend.
The sats for the main, do you not have to play 2, £2 quid buy in, if u win that you then play in another to get qualification to the big game?
Do like the idea that Kalie mentioned, if you sat in, even a min cash is really worthwhile.
Well done on your deep run in the main last night, very nicely done!
Sick last hand, i was a nit and folded 68 lol 2000 chips hes £3 ish
The first 2 DTDs, my exit hand from DTD2, the hand played itself i think, i'll post it up later on, dont think i can ever fold there.
DTD3 i could have got away from it (i think).
Was a really good fun night, and glad to get another deep run in a DTD game.
My sharkscope for MTTs is minus £29, which i am really delighted with considering when i started this it was minus over 200.
You are relentless! Everytime, and i was telling you it wasn't ok, but you still done it haha
Love your aggression though, i can see how you crush MTTs.
Exit hand yeah, your pot committed! Nh
hope it all continues.
But the bad beats are worse than cash, not like you can just reload.
But nothing beats the feeling of getting a deep run/ Final Tabling.
If you ever wanna chat about them let me know. Hope cash is going well for you, i might fire by for a quick game later,
I won a £2.20 BH, only had a 11 entrants, and also a 1 minute roulette game. Not big cashes, but still nice 2 win.
I also played in a sat for the main tonight, and managed to qualify. Only the 3rd time i have played a "main" so should be fun!
Sharkscope, my stats for sharkscope for MTTs' are now minus £5.
Really chuffed with this, because i've pretty much cleared the deficit from sharkscope for MTT's, which was always something i wanted to do but didn't know if it was possible.
Very impressive
