gud luck mate!
Hard one the explain tonight and i won't tell you my extact challenges set because people can go out thier way to be a pain in the bum
I started off by regging in everysingle MTT on sky untill David arrived late and set the challenges....i then had to turbo un-reg from all my games and did so to the 8pm flagship by accident and by the time i realised i missed it....oops !
i played 5 or so Mtts tonight and won one deepy for £50 and got a bounty or so in the others and maybe finished slightly down on the night in those. The HU games was pretty weird to tell you the truth and i won't go into much detail again as we have to play a best of 7 tomorrow night and thursday aswell.
Cash was ok tonight and you wont see me posting any good figures for this over the coming days as the challenge is somewhat non money based. MTTs is where the figures sould hopefully come from and i hope to impress all over the coming days with a win or two and some FTs.
Look out for tomorrows info
As for the TP - it's all gearing up.
These are my TP challenges:
1. I'd like a HU competition between the remaining TPs - if they aren't up for it, then definitely have Nutter play Dohh in a best of 7 (first to 4 wins)
2. I'd prefer they emphasize MTTs since the prizes are skewed that way....
3. lastly....I want them to play very small stakes and buy in for the minimum: Lets see if they can play a short stack in a small buy-in game.
4. Then....I want them to buy in for the minimum in a bigger game (.50 - 1.00) Once again, lets see them play the Short Stack this time in a bigger buy-in game.
in the above Short Stack scenarios, NO REBUYS - I want to see them come back from the short stack as they'll have to if they play in big tournaments.
5. No DYMs - these guys should dominate those and I don't get anything out of them
Dohhhh took the first night's HU competition by beating Nutter 4-2. Nutter seeks revenge tomorrow night.
As for the Short Stack challenge....Nutter got the best of Dohhh on this one. He was able to adapt a little better and twice built his 20 BB stack into 50 BB stacks....
I'm sure they'll both bring their A games for the next two nights!
Reporting in For Phase 3, evening 1.
Ok so I think every TP this evening had MTTS on the brain. Obviously due to the prize itself as Ed pointed out, we all had to perform, so the pressure was definitely on.
I had decided to play only 5 Mtts, quality rather than quantity. However due to being out quite early on in 2 of them, ended playing 8.
Results below
7pm Forum Deep stack 9/42
Final tabled this, and exited with AQ vs. AJ all in pre. Villain rivered the J.
730pm £400 Bh. 17/69
8pm Open 128/473
830pm 1k Bh. 124/160
Had an accident early on, losing aces to a flopped 2 pair.
915pm £250 Speed 31/64
I decided to make a move with A8 here; after the button had min raised my BB. Bad timing as he had Kings.
930pm £1.5k Bh 166/197
10pm £200 guaranteed 14/22
1030pm £800 Bh. 11/112
Overall I felt I Played well in most of them except the 930pm Bh. This one I was probably a little too aggressive early on trying to gain a good chip lead. I also feel like 8 Mtts in a 5 hr slot was too much in my opinion to play them well and to my best ability. Therefore will play only 5 tomorrow night. BH tournaments also suit my game less than a Deep stack, so will maybe only play one of these tomorrow evening. I grinded out 1 cash table over the course of the evening, and made a small profit which paid for the buy in fees for the Mtts.
So to summarise:
8 Mtts. 1 Final Table and 2 cashes.
End BR £997.53
Profit £65.00
Really enjoyed the challenge this evening and will adjust my format tomorrow to aim to achieve some better results.

As gliterbabe says above, i had a real bad night, right up until my final tourny!!
I will not be posting bad beats for sympathy or to moan, but seen as tho i have to post results, these are the reasons for why i finished where i did. I have no complains and the final tourny showed me that by not tilting and keeping your head and showing a mental determination when things arent going well u can still find light at the end of the tunnel.
Right, so
£400 BH - 69 runners i came 38th - never really got going in this to be honest.
8pm main event 473 runners i came 136th a decent run, but after being left with 8bb i shove the small blind and the big blind finds KK. gg
£1000 BH 160 runners - i came 57th. 55 all in on a 7 high flop, called by aq, q binks the river.
£1000 - 235 runners - i came 183. all in pre with QQ v AA.
£1500 BH - 197 runners (i havent wrote down where i came, was mid field i think) i got it all in on a 10 7 j board 1 club, with 10 10. was called by j8 who held the 8 of clubs and it came club club so gg.
10.00 velocity 221 runners - i came around 70th i think. (again failed to write it down because of the beat, and i cant leave this page now or i lose everything ive wrote!) Im all in with AA on a AQJ flop, and im called by 1010, river is a king to give him the straight.gg
10.30 BH - 112 runners, bust out on level 5, all in pre with kk v ak, ace hits the flop gg.
23.10 Velocity - 115 runners and i came 3rd for around £68!
So after running so horribly all night, in my final tournament i managed to come third, final table, finish in the top 10%of the field and cash all in the same tournament.
So thats 3 things off the challenge list that ED set us!
So in my final two nights, i need 4 cashes and 2 top 10% of the field finishes to complete the challenge. I will obviously be going to take down the win in every tournament i play, but to get the final table challenge out the way on the first night is a big relief!
Congrats to gliterbabe who has performed awesome and was a true gent to me when he knew things were really against me.
To complete the challenge is guna be sooo tough, as we all know the variance involved in multi table tournaments is huge, but total player isnt meant to be easy and im counting down the hours to get back on and go again!
GL and WP to all tpers tonight and in the rest of the competition.
Dan
Well done uys also
You would still have done well mind!
GL 2mo dude
TY i needed it!
You guys are TOO good, wow.
Glad you all noticed how wide you get called if you have a "Star" Avatar, the PTP-ers get the same treatment, & the ranges" we get called with are extraordinary! But it cuts both ways, if you actually have a hand, you can really get paid off.
Tonight there are TWO Deedstacks - the "tikay" at 7pm (a 10 seater), & the 8pm Double Stack - hope to run into a few of you TP-ers during those.
If I bet, I have it, right?
wd all tpers last night ,
gl tonight !
ATTENTION TP-ers.
Tonight there are two nice Deepstacks. If you fancy some action, the non TP-ers will have a Team Last-Longer v you guys & girls.
Up for it? - then Post on the Thread that is HERE please.
Dare you do it?
Another night, another TP Challenge.
Good Luck, all 6 of you.
Reporting in For Phase 3, evening 3.
I had decided this evening that I was going to play 6 Mtts solidly and maybe grind 1 cash table throughout the night for some variety. I felt the pressure was on somewhat due to the fact some of the other Tps seemed to be playing a huge amount of Mtts. This is great. I just felt for me personally 5 Mtts was sufficient to be able to play my game to its optimum.
Not a great start to the evening as I began with the 7pm sleep stack. I got coolered early on with QQ vs. KK. I could have possibly got away from this I think, though the betting suggested pre flop that Mr Villain was isolating a 4 way pot so had put him on a big ace, not kk. The 8:30pm BH, went pretty much the same way, I got unlucky and ran into a set of nines on a 9 high board vs. my Jacks, now due to the structure of a BH I was more than happy to get my chips in here on this flop every time.
Onwards and upwards and the Deep stack at 8pm began. This was the one for me, the one I wanted a good result in. My goodness I really felt the “star” took an affect this evening, 1st time I have really experienced this. However this worked in my favour as my hands were holding, but I was being called down frequently by some very colourful hands! My initial table was incredibly laggy and this enabled me to get a good chip lead early on, then tighten up and let them knock each other out winning huge pot showdowns with ace high! My aim was to take down a lot of smaller pots without too much risk to my stack early on, to gain a gradual increase in chips. I had no hands in the 1st hour so had to find some good spots to make a few steals, so difficult on a super lag table. Then I looked down, and Find AA, what a dream! I was UTG, so not the best position and made it 5 x BB, Praying I would not get 5 callers to the flop. I got 2 callers with a low rainbow flop, dream! I villain hit top pair after calling with 98o and I managed to get him to put his whole stack in by the turn for a nice double through. Lovely 1st hour underway in great shape and stood in the top 20 with 300ish still left.
A couple of new faces had joined and the blinds were now 200. Time to change gear, loosen up and steal these blinds. I have J8ss in cut off and make it 3 x BB. I’m pretty sure I can outplay 1 opponent on the flop if I get a call, though ultimately I am looking to take it down pre flop with speculative hands like these...That is of course unless you flop the second nuts! 1 caller and the flop came down QT9 rainbow! To cut to the quick all the chips go in on the turn which brought me a FD also, and he flips KJ. Oh joy I run so well. I accepted at this point it just wasn’t my night. I Played the tournament really well so was quite disappointed. Coolered 3 out of 3...
The Final 3
These 3 were all much quicker structures. You need to adjust your game in these, as people are quite willing to get their chips in a lot lighter pre, and makes it more difficult to make moves. I found myself quite short in the £700 guar, and got it in pre with KQS on the button, to be called by 66 which held. The £200 Guar. I got it in pre with AQ in position to a min raise that called with A7 and turns a 7 lol. Finally the Velocity, this was the Icing on the cake and lost an all in race which I knew I’d lose just because of how I had run all night. I decided not to play any further Mtts, feeling quite deflated I would not have played any others as well as the previous ones, so called it a night.
Results below
7:00pm sleep stack 50/51
8:00pm Deep Stack 249/419
8:30pm BH 105/108
9:00pm £700 Guar. 89/196
9:40pm £200 Guar. 28/42
10:00pm Velocity 173/206
End BR £923.07
Loss £74.00
Disappointing results overall, but I am not at all unhappy with the way I played. Thanks for the support and rail, much appreciatedJ
Good night all!
