In Response to Re: OFFICIAL TOTAL PLAYER THREAD - hu match:

if the whole match could get shown live it'd be really good, i finished 500 down. Was really gutted with this result because felt my edge was growing and growing but just kept losing every all in. He played ok but before the match i thought he was a really really good player, but by about half way through i felt like he was decent at best. Was quite frustrating he wouldn't play deep as this is where i thought i could punish the leaks in his game that i had discovered. Good bankroll management by him tho i guess. Really disappointing result, but there's always tomorrow :P gl at the tables all, yipee

I may be mistaken but on the table that I was watching you seemed to bust sparce's AA with JJ aipf and river a flush to crack his flopped two pairs to get most of your stack early. You then got pegged back gradually. It was you who didn't want to play deep and sparce graciously agreed to your request(s).
I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.

TP_Phil12 · February 2010

Okey dokey gonna log off now as been a long night..........

Made a profit of £160 tonight with a finish of 35th out of 513 in Primo helping:)

A big thx to all the railers, who included Sparce, who SHOWED HIS CLASS by coming to rail and encourage whilst still also in.

BR now £740

TP_GliterB · February 2010

WOW, What an event that SNG was, a big thank you to all the railers and of course to all the other guys who were involved. I can truly say that was one big battle and a very hard fought contest as everyone wanted to impress. WP Nutter who eventually came out on top of me in the HU battle, I was relived to have put DOHHHHHH to bed as his constant raising was taking my moves away.

Overall tonight I was going about my business very quietly, I wanted to put all my energy into the SNG which almost paid off..

Primo never really got going for me finishing 140th, grinded away on 2 cash tables for around 2 hours for a little profit and played 2* DYM's cashing in 1..

Started phase 2 with £638
Finishing Day1 with £697

£59 Profit, Could have been better but I'm well happy with how I played.

Looking forward to the next SNG tomorrow this time NUTTER is mine..lol

Hope everyone enjoyed the games tonight.

Good luck for tomorrow

TP_Nutter · February 2010

Hello guys :P

So tonights report will be brief as i have a banging headache. Tonights plan was to play cash only + sng and primo.

The Sng was very cagey and nothing big was kicking off at all for a long time. As you will see if the thing is shown on tv i hit absolutly everything and could i no wrong. I delievered a cooler on james but i think the hand played its self. I did take a hit early and grinded my way back up hitting the nuts everyhand

. I ended up HU with Gliterbabe and managed to grab the win.

Cash tonight was good to with my hitting everything on site but last hand of the night i dropped 100 with KK vs AA which was bad timing. Overall though i think my cash game is improving abit over the last few weeks.

SNG - Won for £90
Cash - +379 i think
Mtt - 0 cash in primo

Bankroll £1371

been a good night railing people to and ran good -

TP_Sparce · February 2010

Ok my night has come to an end and I am pretty tired. Had a long weekend and was playing on redbull lol! I am not completely happy with how I played tonight, made a couple of muppety calls but played ok. Having gone behind early i tightened it up and got into a few good spots, then towards the end of the game won a couple of important 50:50s which took the sway my way. Not much in it tbh. Sorry, yippee, thought we agreed to split before the game so we could keep it 3 tables? but probably some miscommunication there... i am happy to play deeper tomorrow if it comes to that. though i must admit i was a bit muppety today. Ul Yippy gg.

As for amounts i ended up 400 off him, and rake took 100.

Primo went ok. Played pretty tight most the game, and stepped up the aggression late, but eventually shoved k3dd on the button 22k stack on 1.5/3 and ran into kk. Finished 29th so cashed £100. Very happy with that. Also saw James and Phil Cashed, very well done them!!! there is lots of quality in this comp!!

Final Broll of the night is 1750.

Also i watched a bit of the sit and go and thought they all played well with a couple of races knocking out good players. How it finished with glitter vs nutter and nutter taking it home was very interesting to watch! very well played to those two, espec nutter for taking it down.

Anyways, i am shattered and off to bed now, looking forward to tomorrow!

Have fun everyone,

TP_ljamesl · February 2010

Hello Everyone!

I started tonight with my Itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-dot-bikini-Bankroll of £247. I decided to play 4 mtts tonight (Primo, Velocity, 2 x Bounty Hunters) I cashed in both the Primo and the velocity. Unfortunately it was only for £60 (Primo) and £8 (Velocity). Although I'm happy to continue my deep runs in the Sky Poker main event MTT's 3 out of 4 now :-D.

On Cash I felt I played a good solid game won around £82 could of been alot more but a wins a win.

The Sit n go with the other TP-ers was really fun. Although I feel I was UL to exit in 4th when my QQ was no good against Bens K-10 on the 10-8-6 flop x 3 spades. Don't you hate it when you make the right read and still lose :-).

I'm going to go on and mention another topic that has arose some comments about yippee-yappee. I will hold my hands up and say I have personally criticised his challenges in the past but this time he proved me and alot of others wrong he battled to the death with sparce who you must remember is a HU Specialist. Yippee knew that and still took him on and was perhaps UL to lose £500 was it? Wp to sparce very nice work again.

I would also like to mention dohhh and yippees play in the sit n go. Having never played with either of these two before I felt they both played a good game and were perhaps ul to have not gone further also. Yippee had one questionable hand against me where I felt he had pocket 10s (Open-ended and a pair) on a Jack high flop (J-9-8) and thought perhaps a flop reraise and turn bet would make him pass his hand it turned out my 7s were good :-D. It was fun to play with you both and congrats to Ben for sealing the deal and also Glitterbabe for 2nd (GLITTER YOU ROCK!) :-D

Overall I'm happy with my game for tonight and hopefully things will just keep going up and up until Tuesday night. Feeling upbeat and hoping to make a huge turn around! Would like to thank everyone who supported me in the MTTs and SNGs tonight really appreciate it :-)

Starting Bankroll Tonight - £247

Final Bankroll Tonight - £397 (Profit +£150)

TP_Dohhhh · February 2010

I'm shattered!

Focus tonight, like everyone involved, was the sng V the other TP's! - Unlike the rest, Im not a big multi table player, so decided to give it my all whilst playing a cash table tighttttttt.

My sng strategy, as the structure was .....to not go out on the bubble! - more about that later

lol

Nah I thought Id settle into it, play drawing hands in position, try n make the nuts, win a big pot early on, otherwise not really get too involved. It was going ok, one hand V nutter first level I it a double gutter straight draw along with the nut flush draw, and the ace as an overcard- does that count?

lol

Anyway decided not to get too jiggy with it once I was check raised. Too deep to go crackers early doors. Missed than, and then missed another nut draw V sharky 10 mins later.

Then won a decent pot V sharky to get bak to even. Then lost abit, then won abit, then lost abit then waffled...

Anyway, I had 3/4 battles against sharky and nutter. I got the better of sharky, and nutter crushed me to be fair. H says he ran sick, but who knows. And it doesn't really matter.

Got to the bubble and I was yo-yo ing. Had 2 1 on 1 battles with nutter and Gbabe, I was involved in most pots. Gb raised once as the short sack (although very playable), decided to take a stand and set him in with J7 SUITED, its gotta be a tough call alot of the time (unless he has AK) and Im rarely THAT far behind. Anyway, the rest is history.

Up n down for a few rounds when GB raises from the button again. A9 in the BB here is auto shove, and unfortunately GB shows AT. I sure if the hands are reversed, the result is the same anyway.

I flop a 9, but the best hand holds in the end. I really enjoyed playing this sng against the best, and believe I ore than held my own. My tactics were correct IMO, and I implemented them well. Was just unlucky to bubble.

The primo unfortunately was 2nd priority tonight, I would have rather had a night off the sng's to play this, rather than the BH tomorrow (yuk). But hung in whilst pretty card dead, ended up busting with QKs to a TJ off limp caller UTG? each to their own.

Onto cash, I played tight fo the first hour, whilst concentrating on the SNG, won 35 quid I think on the 1 table, nothing spectacular, just standard position play, abc stuff. After I bust the SNG, played a NL80 table, good table selection IMO, away from the rest of the TPers

- ended a buy in up there, despite having AKs cracked by ...wait for it ...Q7 off for 40 quid.

Played 1 HU sng, 3-1 chips lead when on a 2 4 5 flop, my 66 got called ten binked by J2

nvm - more of those tomorrow.

As with my first day last time, nothing spectacular, just steady stuff, and happy wth the £95 profit to give me a final Broll of £866

A tired DOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Edit - sticky keyboard + tired mind = typos! lol its easier to apologise here than go thru and correct them all! - night all

TP_Dantb · February 2010

What a roller coaster!!!

I decided to try and get all the cash requirements out of the way as soon as possible, to allow me to focus on the round robin sit an goes on monday and tuesday.

i quickly managed to drop £300 on 5 tables!!!

The majority of this was on a 100nl HU table, when i couldnt fold aces on a q98 board. ( the action pre flop was fierce by the way) Oppo obv had j10, and i was off to the worst possible start imaginable!

Then, after a couple of coolers i dropped another £100 and began to think it wasnt my day! (for obvious reasons!!)

Cash definately wasnt working for me so i decided to play some heads up sit and goes. This is where i found my groove, although not finding many hands, i was finding good situations to exploit.

I played 13 in total and won 9, which gave me abit of confidence back.

So as the night was drawing to an end, i decided to give the £300 bounty hunter a spin as i felt i had to do something more!

As the table loads, who am i sat with....... dohx7 and nutter!!lol I knew this would be interesting!

I started abit fast, splashing in and out, up and down, and then used my irratic image to get paid off when i found a hand later in the tourny when the pots were alot bigger and i managed to find some good situations.

After a long battle on the final table i managed to win the whole thing!! Including heads i won around £120(including stake), which was a timely boost to my bankroll when i needed a result.

I didnt even look how much first prize was, or what places got paid, as my sole focus was to win the tournament.

Im thrilled to have won the tournament, and after seeing all the other tp'ers doing so well, felt i needed to prove myself even more.

So i started the night with £777

Cash - dropped around £390 (oh well, theres always tomorrow!)
STT - up around £210
MTT - busted primo, busted another £10 entry, and at the end of the night won the £300 bounty hunter for around £110.

My final balance is £686, which is a loss for the night, but could have been much worse if i had tilted after such a horrific start.

Well done to all other tp'ers on your results, this competition is really something else, and i feel priviledged to be apart of it!

Thanks to all the railers aswell, if i didnt respond its because im on mini view the majority of the time.

GL all, bring on tomorrow.

Dan

Tikay10 · February 2010

Oh my word, sounds like quite some night for the TP-ers! Trust me to miss all the fun, but I had some stuff to attend to, then some Live Poker to play.

A lot of good solid performances, & everyone seems to be hitting their stride.

The played to cashed ratio of the TP-ers in the 8pm Main Events is really quite something, & another "regular" Tourney fell to a TP-er last night.

That SNG looked a right purler, I wish I'd Railed that, with everyone seemingly going for the win. Presumably, that must have been the "hottest" SNG ever on Sky Poker.

This whole thing is panning out quite beautifully, for both the TP-ers & the Community, & I'm loving seeing our players give such wonderful accounts of themselves.

More of the same!

5.30pm Monday - good luck to all the PT-ers tonight. May you all run good. And some run gooder.

I'm PTP-ing, so won't be able to fully Rail, but I'll try & drop by.

For the Ra-TRa-Railing crew, don't forget, 7pm tonight, to watch Leg 2 of the SNG Round-Robin. Fireworks have been ordered.

The Round-Robin is a right ding-dong, well worth watching.

DantB10 went early, when he ran his Aces into Phil12UK's setted Queens, & GliterBabe, ul all Tourney, was next out. Earlier, his K-K had been busted by the short-stacked Sparce (who's had a great night on the Cash Tables, his Bankroll is now over £2k!), who had Sevens & binked.

With 4 left, it looks like this, with Blinds about to go 150-300. (It's beautifully structured, by the way).

Sharksbite · February 2010

Reporting in For Phase 2, evening 2.

I had a plan this evening to really put 110% into the TP SNG, alongside hitting the 1k mark on my BR. After last night’s mistake in the SNG I felt I wanted to prove I could make a great come back. I had absolutely no hands this evening so had to rely on stealing and bluffing my way in and out of pots to avoid being blinded out. I feel I made all the correct decisions and finally moved all in on Sparce's BB with AJ, he thought about it and called with KQ, he rivered Q and that was that so came 4^th. To be honest Id have probably called there too, as I had shoved a few of his BBs so well played sparticusJ

I found some cash games where I knew I could make moves and take down some nice pots in the time I had, rather than relying on grinding away as I would in a longer cash session. I played my usual game but just looked for a few more opportunities due to the limited time. Cash went well tonight, started the night being coolered for a full buy in QQ vs. KK, deep breath and move on. The evening progressed well built a nice stack in 80NL, and left after 2 hours with a nice profit.

I decided to leave Cash at 9pm and concentrate fully on the 8pm BH and the TP SNG.

The 8pm BH I went deep in tonight and came out 56^thwith 4 heads. So a small profit, sadly my a9 got crushed when I shoved UTG with 10 BBs, 5 handed. Of course the SB and BB had JJ and TT, I was praying for an A to hit for a huge pot, however it wasn’t meant to be as the JJ flopped a FH.

I also Played 3 HU SNGS @£42. Won 2 Lost 1

SNGS Profit £34.00

MTT Profit £29.21

CASH Profit £170.39

End BR £1018.10

Good night all...Phase 2 Day 2 has come to an end. Quite sad that tomorrow will possibly be my last night as a Total Player candidate.

Well done to all the other guys tonight, I saw some great play on the tables, and thanks again for all the rail and support.

TP_Sparce · February 2010

Ok my night has finished and i am in a foul mood! hate losing and thats just what happened in the SNG. Thought i played ok in it. I did get lucky a few times, notably shoving 77 vs KK!! and then beating sharksbite with kq vs aj. Thought it was a bit of a gamble, but had a stack to back it up if it went wrong. I actually thought she played really well and showed the table how to play poker. I dont think she is out by a long way as she suggests in her post, she has done fantastically. Both me and james think we will be booted off too! lol! poor matt with his decision!

As for cash tonight, thought I showed what can be done. Comprehensively beat Yippee for his last 3 buy ins. I deffo have an edge there, and think it was a bit of a misplaced gamble on his behalf to throw out the challenge. Last thing he wants is to challenge me. Sure enough he went busto as was predicted and must be out the TP comp. Fortune this time does not favour the brave.

As for the main event busted out when my KK ran into AT all in pf. Wanted to repeat last nights performance to impress matt, but it wasnt to happen!

Also entered a couple of other tournies but nothing happened in them. Think i was slightly too movey in them.

Looking forward to tomorrow night now, I need a result in the tournies i think and am looking forward to it.

Tonights broll finished at 1975 though a random 20+2 has just popped up i didnt realise i was in. ohh just doubled up in it

Good luck all at the tables.

TP_Phil12 · February 2010

Really enjoyed tonight..............

Obviously the TP sng was the big one for the 'bragging rights' etc. I felt I played really well - squeezed in between Sparce constantly stealing and Nutter who has seen me play many times. My first break was a 3 way raised hand with Dan and Gliter - Dan AA, me QQ, Gliter JJ - flop Q high.........managed to get all Dan's money in the middle and I doubled through.

Ended up 3 handed with me, Sparce and Nutter and I was the shorty stack. I bode my time and allowed Sparce to keep on stealing with our blind battles..........then changed gears at just the right time, then finally got a hand when Sparce shoved and my KK held.

HU vs Nutter with a 4:1 chip lead suddenly. He limped and I had 4,5 which had made a straight by the turn. He tried to steal with the all in shove on river and I had won against these great players!!!!! Bragging rights for ME lol.

Cash went steady all night after losing a massive £200 pot early on with AQ vs 5,4 on Q54 flop.

Went deepish in Bounty Hunter as well and got 3 heads.

TOTAL

Cash +£23

MTT +£12

SNG +90

Profit for night £125 and up in all 3 disciplines. Very happy with that effort.

Bankroll now stands at £858

Back again tomorrow.......

TP_Dohhhh · February 2010

Well the less said about tonight the better, started with over 800 quid, ended, withhhh....hardly owt.

Started steady, was seven pounds up after 30 minutes.

lol

Had Aces cracked twice and kings once within the next half hour. I doubled twice in the BH and both times, the guy I beat had less than 200 left!!!!

I decided, this is probably the one and only chance Im gonna get to play the big boys!

So I did, and I lost.

I called one hundred and seventy nine pounds, with ace high, against happy wild! on the flop - he had the nuts! lol

I played Heads up NL200 and, yeh lost about 200 quid. (brown dog where were you????)

And this sums it all up....about 5 to 11 I enter a £50 NLHE sng....

It loads....Im playing a guy called goody lad....

They deal me 2 cards...

....Then 2 more! lol - Ive only gone n entered a PLO HU game! - and , I WON!!!!

I have 260 quid to go and have some fun with tomorrow, hopefully make misen a few bob, but as for TP, I guess I'm signing off as far as the competition goes.

Sorry to all my followers. And to my mentor, good luck to Phil and Ben, and the rest.

TP_Nutter · February 2010

Hey guys

So the plan for tonight was to just play solidly and try grind out a small profit. I would have loved to have also won the SNG for he second time but i think phil deserved his win and got cards at the right time. The last hand annoyed me so much i couldn't focus much after it as i limped to him letting him hit absolutly anything. Well done phil and everyone else.

The 8pm i managed to make a small profit of around £20 and got my first cash in the main event was has aslo disapointed me so far. I played a couple of mtts towards the tail end of the night and got battered in everyone with pocket 10s i think to AK AK and A9

. No big deal though as thats part of MTT variance and you will take beats from time to time.

I'm not sure my figures on cash but i think i made around £80 as i played a super nitty game tonight hoping the elusive star would get me paid in pots where i had hands. Thats roughly the breakdown of my night as i'm pretty tired i won' work out the exactl breakdowns but i made around £193

My bankroll now stands at a heathly £1564 which i would have took a the end of tomorrow let alone tonight. I hope to do well in some MTTs tomorrow and not play like a one legged donkey in them as i feel i can/will get a decent result in one tomorrow.

Was another fun night though really enjpying this and i feel everyone wants this badly now so expect things to heat up.

TP_GliterB · February 2010

Hi all

I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible feel completely brain dead ( pretty normal then )!!!

Started off with a couple of cash games and the SNG. Cash wasn't really going for me, dropping around 2 Buy ins ( £100 ) and I felt I wasn't playing my A game. At this point after about 1 hour, I closed all cash games to concentrate on the SNG, was going along nicely at one point until I bluffed a missed draw into Nutters check ReRaise allin on the river.. Blah Blah.. Managed to claw myself back into the game until Sparce Binks a 7 on the turn to crush my KK vs his 77 chips were all in pre. Never really recovered from that and departed in 5th. The Sit and go format over the 2 days was superb it really suits my game playing that deep and I have the patience of a saint. Anyway after this I decided to play just tournaments some small Gtee's and BH's.. Cashed in 2 one of which was the main event finishing 37th..

The poker gods were not on my side tonight but managed to stay focused and see it through.

Started £697

Finished £694

Still playing at this point so might be in profit after tonight..

Hope the gods were shining on everyone else.

good luck all for tomorrow..

A tired GB.

TP_Dantb · February 2010

Evening all, im checking in earlier tonight as i have a severe case of 'man flu' as the missus calls it!

So tonight was my turn to play the round robin sit an go. My game plan was to sit tight and bide my time, as it was a perfect structure, but i found myself in situations i couldnt prevent! (as phil mentioned above)

Oh well, on another night i treble up, but thats how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

On the previous tp nights ive found myself frantically multitabling, trying to play as much as possible, but 2nite i decided to only play 2 tables at a time so i could focus on my oppos and the situations in more detail.

I entered the 7pm £150 guaranteed, and i managed to come second for £50.

Next up was the main event, the bounty hunter. I had a deep run in that also, eventually losing a 45k pot wiv kk aipf against the AA of the growler

so i went out in 40th with around £35ish i think.

I also played a £250 guaranteed and managed to cash in that, which had a big field, think prize pool was about £400 odd. I came 10th for £10.

Stt wise i played 1 £40 husng and lost

Cash, i played around 40 mins on 100nl heads up and won £200.

So all together my bankroll now stands at £904.91

Another thoroughly enjoyable night!

Well played to the others. Right im off to try and get some sympathy off the other half and maybe a cuddle

Hello!

Ok so I decided to play some cash, nothing seemed to go right I think I folded Aces 3 times tonight which is ridic for a 4 hour session. 2 were in big pots where I folded the river one I was clearly rivered by a flush and the other rivered by trip kings big SIGH there! Every little helps and all that!

I played 4 mtts went deepish in 3 didn't cash in the main tonight. But I final tabled the £1500 Bounty Hunter I ended up coming 5th but only won £66.

Bankroll at start of night = £397

Bankroll at end of the night = £421

A small profit on the night. Nothing spectacular but another deep run in an MTT which I have been consistent with on almost everynight. Pretty sure this is the end of the road for me. I think I've played well and proved that I am no mug when it comes to MTT's, afterall the main prize is a WSOP seat so what more do we need :-) If only it were that simple.

I have two great opponents in my group and both deserve to go through Sparce has crushed cash espesh HU and Naomi has done well in a mixture of fields. One more night to go. I'm not completely giving up but knowing my mentor wont be around tommorow night to see me play in the Round Robin SNG makes me feel tonight was the night!

Gl all and its been a fun competition.

Hi all I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible feel completely brain dead ( pretty normal then )!!! Started off with a couple of cash games and the SNG. Cash wasn't really going for me, dropping around 2 Buy ins ( £100 ) and I felt I wasn't playing my A game. At this point after about 1 hour, I closed all cash games to concentrate on the SNG, was going along nicely at one point until I bluffed a missed draw into Nutters check ReRaise allin on the river.. Blah Blah.. Managed to claw myself back into the game until Sparce Binks a 7 on the turn to crush my KK vs his 77 chips were all in pre. Never really recovered from that and departed in 5th. The Sit and go format over the 2 days was superb it really suits my game playing that deep and I have the patience of a saint. Anyway after this I decided to play just tournaments some small Gtee's and BH's.. Cashed in 2 one of which was the main event finishing 37th.. The poker gods were not on my side tonight but managed to stay focused and see it through. Started £697 Finished £694 Still playing at this point so might be in profit after tonight.. Hope the gods were shining on everyone else. good luck all for tomorrow.. A tired GB.

More patience than any saint, having said that I dont know too many saints. Having said that if anyone remembers the first video clips that got played on skypoker during breaks from the open, due remember TK giving his number 1 tip for poker ? PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE he said.

This is a comp to win entry into the best structured tourament in the world patience is required.

Evening all, im checking in earlier tonight as i have a severe case of 'man flu' as the missus calls it! So tonight was my turn to play the round robin sit an go. My game plan was to sit tight and bide my time, as it was a perfect structure, but i found myself in situations i couldnt prevent! (as phil mentioned above) Oh well, on another night i treble up, but thats how the cookie crumbles sometimes. On the previous tp nights ive found myself frantically multitabling, trying to play as much as possible, but 2nite i decided to only play 2 tables at a time so i could focus on my oppos and the situations in more detail. I entered the 7pm £150 guaranteed, and i managed to come second for £50. Next up was the main event, the bounty hunter. I had a deep run in that also, eventually losing a 45k pot wiv kk aipf against the AA of the growler so i went out in 40th with around £35ish i think. I also played a £250 guaranteed and managed to cash in that, which had a big field, think prize pool was about £400 odd. I came 10th for £10. Stt wise i played 1 £40 husng and lost Cash, i played around 40 mins on 100nl heads up and won £200. So all together my bankroll now stands at £904.91 Another thoroughly enjoyable night! Well played to the others. Right im off to try and get some sympathy off the other half and maybe a cuddle Dan
