Tonight's PTP - Double Deepstack Delight
The perefect night for PTP!
7pm - tikay Sleepstack, £11, 5k chips.
8pm - Double Stack Open, £11, 4k Chips.
Unlike the last month, I won't have Rich Orford in the office with me for company - we had wonderful fun to tell the truth - so just me tonight. I'll have a Last-Longer with myself I think.
But if anyone wants a Double Last Longer with me - just for the craic - Post on the Thread, please. Winner is the one with the LOWEST combined finishing positions from BOTH Tourneys. So finish 10th in one, & 10th in the other = 20.
I'll sort out a few Sky Poker goodies for the winner - Sky Poker stress ball, beer mat, pen, & key-ring.
I MAY be late starting tonight, as we are in the Studio all day doing Pre-Records, & I have a hunch we will slip behind schedule, but I've entered both Tourneys, & I'll arrive at some stage, possibly nearer 8pm than 7.
See you later.

how bout if i win, you have to wear a pair of donkey ears for the first hour of SPT in Glasgow??
A better one would be, if you win, tikay cannot have a go at you for the first hour at the SPT
or even better, if i win tikay cant have a go at me at all during SPT
that would be hell for him
Sleeping through the first 2 hours is fine but you will almost certainly miss my exits from both games which may spoil your evening.
Mere is right - I'd not want to miss his exit.
But I actually think that Phil Hellmuth, who famously "sits-out" for the first 3 or 4 Levels of almost every Tourney he plays, including the WSOP Biggie etc - has it right. Playing the first few Levels is truly daunting & scary, as many players feel obliged to play every hand, & these guys, as Elsadog notes, are dangerous.
I played a Live Event 2 weeks ago, & it went (at 25-50), Limp, Limp, Limp, then the BB made it two thousand. And got THREE Callers! What hand can three players in a row limp with at 25-50, & then call a 2k pre-flopRaise?! And that was a £100 Tourney!
So that's the secret of my failure. I avoid that stages of tourneys like the plague. Reducing variance is key, it's part of "finding that route", "dodging those bullets". By Level 5, it becomes much more sedate & civilised, & then, come Level 8 or 10, the real poker, & the real fun, begins.
Which one would you reccomend for most enjoyment tikay? I dont expect to cash in either just hope to last a couple of hours and have some fun

BUT....the 7pm will only pay about 5 or 6 places, (it will get 30 to 40 runners) & the 8pm will pay around 40 or 50 places, from a field of 300 to 400.
(My better half told me to type that).
I WILL be late starting the tikay Sleepie - & maybe even the 8pm Main - as the Pre-Records are a bit behind schedule, & we have not started recording "The Club" yet. Which takes about 90 minutes to record, for technical reasons. But I'll be along at some stage.
The Last-Longer is on for anyone interested, but entries CLOSE at 7pmm sharp, any Late Entries may be disqualified, & possibly shot, too.
Good Luck guys.
161st in Doublestack.
I'm guessing that isn't a winning ticket.
27th in sleepie. (Never joined until 8.05, was out by 8.30!)
71st in Double Stack
= 98th.
"Started slowly, flattered briefly, soon under pressure, tailed off, pulled up".
At least Spurs won
did tikay accept that prop bet????
7th in deepie... ran well then took on bigstack with QQ and Chirpy had KK,
Spitfire, unbpower and Jaegerbomb looking good
just had major donk session though
