    I made a mess of a couple of hands v you in DTD the other night when you were in your comfort zone.

    The worst thing you can possibly do is go in and try to change the way you play (in my opinion).

    The best strategy is to play the game you're comfortable playing.

    I've lost thousands at higher levels trying to play a game I'm not comfortable with just because I was intimidated by the numbers, when my normal game would've done just fine.

    It's only easy for them if you make big mistakes, and you make fewer mistakes than most.

    glgl mate!

    Best of luck Stokefc, I'll be rooting for you as a fellow Stokie :)

    Just to give yourself a bit of an edge on the Friday, you need to start the day with a couple of Bacon n Cheeze Oatcakes with brown sauce just to kick start the day in style :)

    Keep calm and go with your gut instinct, try not to be intimidated. Think of it as your Bear Pit away from the Brit

    Good luck Fellow Stokie, it would be good if you could keep us all informed on how you're doing and who you're playing with. I'll follow you hopefully all the way to the final table.

    News from Table StokeFC.

    Our man is having a BALL, & won a pot early doors.

    Have introduced him to another Stoke City fan, too, Mark Wilson.

    All going well so far.

    Deep into Level 4, and our man still has his starting stack.

    He is having a great time, and his brother is here railing him.

    Will try and introduce him to a few faces during the breaks, Lord Grumpy etc.

    Would so love our man to make day two.

    I introduced our man to PoshCole at the break, and also to Willie Tann and Lord Grumpy.

    He is still on around 50,000.

    That's what I love about poker. In what other sport/hobbie could you play against top level pros? Go stokey and all other sky regs

    I am afraid your captain is busto.

    Stokey has been on his one hour dinner break, and has just resumed play.

    Blinds are 500-1,000/100, and I think he has around 45,000.

    I so want him to make day two. "Bagging up" in Live poker at the end of day one is the greatest.

    Down to about 18,000, Stokey went for a flip, his 5-5 v A-Q.

    The board ran out Q-8-4-Q-6.

    So that was that.

    He was card dead all day, but even so, I think he had a great time.

    Add Post. Logged out. Silly me. I'll just do that again......

    Well done, Sean. Hope you had an experience to remember. I haven't plucked up the courage to try live yet - too scared of messing up and not being able to do the maths in my pickled brain! Online makes it too easy. Need to get over that.

    Thanks Tikay for sending us pics and updates along the way.

    one of the best days of my life
    what can i say,simply amazing,i arrived at 11.30 with the wife me bro and his lady stood at the door for about 5 mins just taking it all in spotted Tikay talking to some grumpy guy at the merchandise counter he walked past me i didn't,t dare say owt(was abit nervous tbh)
    next thing i know im sat down with a bunch of chips the lad to my right had a sky poker badge sewn into his shirt i thought oh dear and it proved as he was raising nearly every pot in any position i re-raised him a couple of time to try and stop him nicking my blinds,it worked when he folded but it didn't stop him raising the next hand, top player very aggro his name is Alves.
    Spotted Tikay laughing and joking with other players he walked past this time i introduced myself wow he was actually looking for me i was speechless.
    the 1st break came went out for a ciggie when Tikay came out with Jen mason he introduced her, i mean cmon, then he introduce me to Tommyd lambert and mattbates had abit of banter then as i was going back in a lad spotted me badge it was MAXALLY,Al you were great m8 putting my mind at ease.
    sat back down,pretty card dead tried to keep me stack won a couple of pots the another break this time Tikay grabs me and say i want you to meet a couple of his friends,this is Willie Tann and this is Neil Channing i nearly fell over had a small chat, neil thought i played for Stoke :) then Tikay introduced me to Poshcole,spent some time with posh(steve) thoroughly decent guy 
    moved tables had 30 bigs been card dead got to level 8 20 bigs shove time waiting for a spot 55 allin, call aq,queen on flop,out,i didn't,t mind, looking at the play it was so aggressive i didn't,t see one unraised pot pre flop and that was the difference from what used too.
    Tikay,you sir were simply awesome made me feel like a king really made my day giving me encouragement at every opportunity,you really are Mr  Poker and the the whole scene wouldn't,t be the same without you,thank you with all my heart
    R Craig,what a man stood there all day thx bro,mrs stokefc enjoyed it too bonus
    Had a great Friday in Nottingham (from what i can remember)
    on the way home met f-ivanovich on the train bonus
    thanks to sky poker and DTD for holding this event and for letting this mere mortal to have his day in the sun absolutely fantastic,Thanks for all the support on this thread
    Sean

    Pleasure to meet you Sean (and your posse, lol).

    Glad you enjoyed it! Hope it is one of many live events you can now enter.

    Yeah.....Tikay is ok...ish.

    You would of loved the SnG I sorted out late last night.....The management gave me a table...(rake free, sssshhh) and a dealer! I was a couple of players short.....so I asked Sam Trickett if he wanted a game just after he bubbled!! Top man said yes.....even brought a round after!
