SNG
Played 1 DYM and cashed fairly easily.
Tourney
Never really got going in the open.
Got down to 8BB’s at 100/200, OTB with KTo, with 1 limper – easy shove, get nitrolled by limper with TT and no magical King.
In the £1k BH, got a stack early with a couple of big pots, but lost half of it against most aggro player on the table with QQ on an AA88 board, when he had AJ – was a bit annoyed with myself immediately, but he was super spewy throughout and I think now it wasn’t that bad a play. (Check called to let him bluff...).
Cash
Just very bad.
Lost 1 stack when I three barrelled a J9xx two club board with AcKc – oppo had QJ and made 2 pr on the end, otherwise I don’t think he is calling.
Had another hand when I have AQ and raise a limper, flop A52 (I think), turn A, I put him on AJ, AT, so we get some more in, river a T and he snap shoves his last 30 ish – I dwell fold and he shows AT.
Can’t defend some of my other play – really disappointed after I played very solid last night.
So that’s boot camp over.
Had a poor first hour on day 1, partly because I was a bit rusty on SNG’s, a good 2 days, then a bit of a mare most of day 3.
The decision is out of my hands – but if it was on my play today, I don’t go through. Hopefully I’ve shown enough on previous days.
Despite being a bit down right now (which at least shows that I care) it has been a very worthwhile 3 days. The other guys have all been supportive of each other, and David has given over some sound advice, as much as he has been able given the size of the team.
Well done both Mr Dohx7 & Keysa.
Let's hope all the Tuckman ships come home safely.
Well done Neil - it's in the lap of the Gods now. Or Mr Tuck.
All the best!
Tonight, played 2 tables of cash for an hour at the start, played really well and was up £48 on one table when I left it, I then was about to leave my other table with a good profit also, that is until I ran 88 into J10 I make a set and he makes a straight , bye bye profit but was only down £19.47 overall on that table.
Played a very solid game in the Double stack, built my stack up well but busted in 58th when I ran A8 into KK, very next hand in the £1000GTD im taken out also, was really gutted about those two because I fellt I played really well and then BOOM I try and steal the blinds stupidly really, I didn't need to do it and that was what frustrated me the most about it!!
In the 8.30pm BH I pushed all in with QQ, get called by 33 and BOOM 3 on the Flop!!
I did play a couple of other MTT's but didnt do much because I can't remember them and don't want to leave this page now to see what they were.
My time with the gaffer was supposed to be spent during MTT time I hoped but unfortunatley, just as he pops up in MSN I busted in the DOuble stack and £1000GTD, therefore had to revert to cash, had no playable hands except for 1010, ran it into the might of 88 who had now got a set after the flop, lost a load of blinds and that was really it!!
Overall, I have really enjoyed the experience of TP and I have learned so much from the Tuckmeister, I have incoporated a lot of moves that he advised into my play and it has worked, I did finish off with a bankroll of £447.04, I am dissapointed with this but had the cards stood up when they were supposed to then I truly believe I would have made a huge profit!! I am happy with my play overall, few mistakes obviously but they were soon rectified by Mr Tuchman!! Having had such a bad day on Monday and last night when none of my hands stood up how can KK lose 3 times when I have them - and QQ lost me many a tournament, even though I was ahead each time, im rambling on about bad beats now - but I am proud to have carried on and knocked down every wall put in my way - each night I came off the tables depressed, not with my play but with the outcomes of these flips, I have never run so bad lol - how i managed to keep my BR i will never know - but I kept at it and battled through it all, when my fellow TP'ers were doing well and winning tournaments etc I was genuinly pleased for them because there were a lot of players out there who just wanted to knock out the guy with the star, and it is hard to play under those conditions at time but it is a great challenge.
As for tonight for the first 3 hours I was really happy with my play, things were looking up, was playing well but unfortunatley the last hour was not so good but again we live and learn!!
I should really post this up tommorrow when everything will seem brighter but i've typed it up now so I aint gonna delete it now lol!!
Good luck to all for Saturday!!
Cheers
Dylan
Final night a mixed bag really. The last 3 days have actaully been mentally exhausting to tell you the truth but when your fighting your way through 18 of the best players to win a £20k tourney package i would do it every week without fail as i love the competition.
Tonights plan was the play less games but play higher and games i expect to beat normally and focus hard. I entered to tikay sleepstack and came 4th but was disapointed to not finish higher just didn't get cards in the right spots. The only other tourney worth mentioning was another one where i came 4th but bubbled it
Cash wise i sat down for about an hour and was determined to win ! get money in on flop with a set vs overpair for him to turn a higher set....i left after that before i tilted. DYM again a good night and slightly better than the other two nights. Hu again slightly better - So heres the figures !
DYM - 6/8 whichcomes to +128 for the night
Hu - 4/5 won for + 106.75
MTT - 1/6 for - 18.70 again had a rough patch in the £11 buy-ins
Cash - - 30 again
Total for night + 186.05
Final Bankroll - 914.44
My final thoughts are that i have loved the competition so far and hopefully look forward to a couple more weeks yet
37% roi and $730 profit!!!
thats some impressive stats!! well done and good luck all! im very jealous of you all.

Please be aware that Sharkscope stats EXCLUDE Cash Game play, & ONLY reflect Tournaments & SNG's.

yes i did know that but its very good profit and the largest roi ive seen on there so far so he must be doing something right......:-)
Posted by donkeyplop
Oh yes, absolutely. I was just making the point that many people misinterpret Sharkscope Stats, & if the player plays both Cash AND Tourneys/SNG's, then Sharkscope is extremely misleading.
A cash player might have very bad Sharkscope Stats, & a Tourney/SNG player might have very good stats, but neither of them accurately determine the players ability necessarily or accurately.
Mr Nutter is a great example of this - look at his current TP-Bankroll relative to his starting Bankroll. It's not + 37%!
Take care man.
Everything seems better the next day, I am actually pleased that I had only lost that much and had I not run 10 10 into 88 (another shortstack looking for a quick double up grrrr lol) then my BR would look healthier!!
I am actualy quite proud that I didn't bust, it was just frustrating at the time when nothing went my way - but I am very happy with my play overall and therefore have no complaints and I have learned a few new tricks from Mr Tuck - so beware
Havng a break from it tonight - just feel I need a break and when I get back I am going to suck out loads on people - it's karma, so beware I have warned you all now lol!!

are you loking for a great overall player then?
as from what ive seen nutter only plays mainly sngs and mtts.
thats why his cash profit wont be as good as the rest.

Been some bumpy ride, too, ups & downs, lows & highs, heartache & happiness.
Bit like life, this poker lark, eh? Or at worst, a Soap Opera.
We should call it TP-Street, or TP-Enders.

Yes - that's the whole idea - the search is for a TOTAL PLAYER.
I need to choose my words carefully, because I must not favour, or be seen to favour, any player.
But Ben is a good example. He normally mainly plays SNG's - that's his main skillset. The other TP-ers ALL have their own speciality too - look at the list, it includes Cash specialists, MTT specialists, SNG specialists.
So Ben has excelled at SNG's - as expected. But if you look at his Bankroll now - you have to work this out for yourself - he appears to have demonstrated his skills at other formats too, because his overall ROI is MUCH higher than the 37% you noted.
Much the same remarks may well apply to ALL the TP-ers - that's the idea. To find the TOTAL PLAYER.
if he also did well in the cash he gets my vote for total player.
saturdays show is going to be very interesting
There's many a twist & turn yet to come!
Good luck for Saturday everyone.
