UKIPT - Cov - Updates

edited April 2010 in Poker Chat

A few of the big hitters, James, Brwnndog, Dan, Nutter are playing this event in Cov, I believe its a £500 buy in, with loads of big names.

Like I said theres loads of big sky poker names, and Dylan12 is there too (lol) - he's giving me updates of how the guys are getting on - If your interested in any of the guys, how theyre doing etc - check this thread.

First update is that Bdog was sat with Vicky Coren - and she bust first level! Not sure if he bust her??

Shall write on here when I get chip counts/hands etc.

    Okay update from first break....

    Browndog -20k
    Dntb - 20k
    Ben Nutter - 14k
    Wil Brewin - 12k
    Dylan - 12k

    Have a hand through from Dylan he laid down pocket 9s on a 5 4 7 2 board - he folded the turn, it was 3 ways, one guy had a set of 5's - the other guy, a set of 4's......Was a 24k pot so the pocket 5's guy must be pretty big now......

    Nice lay down from the Welshman - Have replied asking about starting stacks and blind levels - but seems the guys are going pretty well.

    OK 2nd update - it was 15k starting stack btw....

    Dantb - 7k

    DYLAN 10K

    Will - 20k +

    Browndog is "Quote" - Massive lolaround the 30k mark.

    Nuter just gone out.

    Dylan just took a big hit to his stack losing with pocket 7s to pocket queens on a 3, 9, 7, J, Q board.

    River went check - check - god knows how he got out of that one alive!

    COME ON BROWNNDOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • edited April 2010
    Just woke up ! 3 updates here's the summary....

    I think this is a Welsh word...'tamping' ? -  I guess it means fuming in English, as Dylan is "tamping" after he gets it all in pre flop against the big stack with pocket Queens, v pocket 5's - and the guy binks his 2 outer.

    Would have had 34k if held....ouch !

    Browndog 35k, Will 25k, Dan 17k at the dinner break....

    Dylan and Nutter entered a side event for....£110 .....alongside ChirpyChip !!

    DOHH

    Must do better lads :-)


    Tell James from me he needs to top up his tan pls ta.

    Nice updates Doh lol!! Yes "tamping" is a Welsh word for "fuming", and yes I was tamping when he made the call with 5's or 4's whatever it was - but hey that's poker - I wanted the call when I saw his cards and unfortunatley lady luck wasn't on my side today :( The event itself is pretty soft to be fair, some great players but a load of weaker opponents who have never played live before which was evident with some of the play I witnessed today. Dan somehow managed to get down to 7K at one point (how he didn't lose his stack i don't know) he flat called every street I think when he had KK on a Q high board - villain had AA!!

    Myself, I thought I played very well - made some big lay downs - especially the 99 hand - I was the aggressor and lost 4K in total but could havve been a lot worse if I hadn't slowed down on the turn and folded. My 7set also knocked 4/5K off my stack - the guy checked call me on flop and turn and when he checked the river with a big grin on his face - I said to him "you have JJ or QQ in your hand don't you" - his smile went and he went as red as a beetroot, so I check and see the QQ :( Grinded all the way through, and eventually found a spot to get 5K with 10 10 on a 865 2 board - I raise pre flop 2 from the cut off, button flats, after flop I bet 1.2K - he flats, on turn I bet 1.8K and he re raises to 4K - I tank for a minute and shove the rest of my stack in and he instantly folds :) Won a couple of other 1/2K pots - just targeted the inexperienced ones (if they hit the flop they bet and check when they missed) so took a few of them to get me back to 17K - and then the QQ hand... I was the button in this hand - UTG raises to 1.2K, guy next to me flat calls and I re raise to 3.8K, UTG folds, guy next to me re raises me to 8K (He had over 50K i think), I think the hand through and the plays he had made in other hands and decide that he hasn't got AA or KK, hard to describe how I knew that - it was easy at the time but I can't describe the reads I had on this player - anyway I shove the rest of my 17K in the middle fully expecting him to fold and I would happily take what was in the middle (around 10K of the other players money including the Binds) anyway the guy tanks it and his response to me was " I feel lucky mate and I think you have AK so Im ahead" and calls with his 44's or 55's - I don't remember - 4 on the flop - goodnight me - 36K pot that would have got me through to Day 2 easily - but hey ho, that's the way it goes.

    Back tommorrow to rail the other guys and hope they can go deep into the cash :)

    Thanks for this Dylan

    Sounds like you had an eventful day, and that you were reading players well and playing well but what you cant account for is those pesky poker gods. (sometimes they are with you sometimes not) Another time youll go deep in one of these Dylan im sure.

    Please wish the others well from me.

    thanks
