Hand History #716586094    .10/.20 

Played a couple of pretty cards and pretty much left with no options but to barrell each street to spin the challenge as quick as possible and hope for the best lol.

Hand History #716606362    .25/.50

This hand got me over the hurdle at this limit. Flop helped me get the stacks.

Hand History #716610276   .50/1

As earlier, I decided to have a spin with a hand and luckily found an opponent willing to gamble as well with a lesser hand.

Lost pretty soon after this hand vs same opponent with tens against kings on 7 high flop.

It's an interesting challenge as the reality is 'it's only as fiver lost' but the mindset is that as you move up the levels, the money means more and more and you have to embrace the gambler and not nit it up by playing with more scared money. 

The hardest part was definitely .25/.50 where players are sat with £100 and we're sat there with £25. 

My tip is to aim to play as the later stages of an mtt where you're short stacked at these levels and basically look for a spot to get it in as early as possible with your stack!

somecards1

I'm going try it 2nite lads??

LARSON7

Good luck everyone!

I'll see you all at level one:D

Keep bringing your fivers lol

Lambert180

Good stuff guys!

So I finally managed to get past level 1!! Bust one more fiver before doing it though and lost a small pot after this hand before I could stand so only left with £11ish so about +£1

Will do the £10 @ 20NL now... or try anyway

 Mastercash 2 cleared.

Lambert180

I'm having a bit of trouble spinning my £10 @ 20NL... been grinding it away for a long time now and got about £16 with my peak being about £19.... I'll get there!

68Trebor

 Mastercash 23 cleared

68Trebor

 Fun while it lasted

Lambert180

Sigh, back to the drawing board for me, I got up to about £19 @ 20NL then went for gold 4bet jamming JJ into KK. That left me with about £6 which I got in pre 66 v A9o and couldn't hold.

Sure I'll be back at 10NL later to donate more fivers but going deep in the £5 BH so focussing on that for now.

yoyo

i might just be the worst

spent 3hrs last night trying to get out of the blocks in NL10

5 or 6 buy-ins later, every MTT busto'd, I quit

attempt no.2 commences at 8pm tomorrow!

bbMike

Attempt number 2 began this afternoon, got through level 1 in 4 hands, called a 4-bet shove with 88, happy to see AK and win the race.

Just through level 2 with this little cracker, back later on for the next step.

Looking back, Level 1 I 3-bet AQ from SB then just stuck the rest in (just over pot sized bet) on 9s9d10s, got looked up by KsQs, don't think he'd have been happy I held!

Closed it out with this one, a tricky one with stack sizes and not being able to reload in the comp.

There is one person sitting at Mastercash £1/2, it is Style, and he has £1,029.73.

I'd play him, but would be a bit rude hit and running him for £100 !

Back later methinks.
