    Well done team - a much better night. Well done to all those who cashed (Including me) at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Extreme Tonight (Blind Levels up and down) surely we can do some damage? I for one will be dissapointed if I don't get another cash tonight.

    Good Luck Guys - See you all there.

    Ps: don't forget it's Orfordable Night Tonight (Is that an omen?)  
  • edited May 2010

    Hi Guys
    Here is my guide for survival and cashing in tonights tourny, in this extreme blinds competition the blinds are every 3mins. I have highlighted the most important levels to your survival and your target chipstack for each level. So as you can see your goal is to steel the small & big blinds at least twice for each of the highlighted levels.

    How you do this is up to you - but calling, checking or chasing a hand is not an option. Your oppo will be trying to steal so be aware.

    2010000.00 / 20000.003
    215000.00 / 10000.00
    Can't see this tourny lasting much past the first hour even if you meet your targets, but if you achieve your targets I am sure you will make the money.

    Very Best of Luck Guys.

    No Probs Rob.
    Just hope we have a bit of luck on our side aswell m8y.

    I have had a couple of days or so off from the cash tables. I was doing pretty well until some of my flaws were highlighted on mastercash one night. Tried to correct a few holes in my game but it all went a bit pair shaped so I stepped away. But have no fear I will be cashing again on the cash tables very soon.
  • edited May 2010
    ahh i see lol hope to see you back soon mate. just wish i had watched that mastercash episode ;)
  • edited May 2010
    Evening All - reporting for action. thanks for the table Trev I'm just printing that and will use it as my guide.

    A careful eye on the clock could give opportunities to slow things down and put extra blind pressure on opponents by the look of it.

    But all the same - 3 minute blinds urrrrgggghhhh!!!!!


    gl all, I'll join in the orfordable when all is done and dusted, away till then.

    Just so people dont take offence probably wont be railing after the game tonight, i will have to try recover any chips i may have left in the orfordable and im not much of a multi tasker lol
  • edited May 2010
    Glad you never lol.

    But lets just say I am now officially a calling station. Maybe I play my premium hands a little too safe and with very little aggresion but it used to work. I try it the way they say 3 or 4 x BB pre flop but I always seem to get called and then don't hit the flop, I am then usually facing a shove or a substantial raise with nothing more than A high and my chips stack suffers another blow.

    Perhaps in cash I shouldnt be thinking in terms of chipsstack but just reload knowing that in the long term this kind of play with premium hands will be rewarded. But I just cant seam to get the hang of it and just get so frustrated at being outdrawn. So it will be back to my usual playing style and if that makes me a calling station and also some money I can live with it.

    Oh by the way - I did skim there live guest of his cash so maybe their not always right lol.

    EXTREME CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The game will start sooooon - So the very best of luck team Orfordable

    no worries mate,
      Thanks for the table Trev. I'd like to nominate you as cpt for the next team event. Just hope we can keep the team together!
      It's been a blast guys, the railing and banter on here has been excellent.

    I would like to offer up my apologies for not being able to carry out a captains role, either on the tables (13th best up to now) or on the forum due to babysitting commitments (although Trev has been doing excellent hence my nomination!).

    One last thing

    GO Orfy's!!!!!!!

    if we fill up the top 10 we have a chance of the team event!

    Hiya Trev, just started playing cash a bit myself and this is the exact same problem i'm facing too lol every time i raise with big cards I miss aaahhh lol

    Anyways good luck all,go DEEP !!
  • edited May 2010
    Go Orfy's Good Luck.
  • edited May 2010
    I no what you mean about the 3-4xBB raise pre and not hitting, in the poker clinic dude has a thread on that problem aswell might be worth having a look.

     i agree sometimes its better just sticking to what works well with you. you defiantly have a solid tournament game i can vouch for that, cash just takes abit of adjusting im in the process atm and it can defiantly be frustrating. i will keep a eye out for you on the cash tables.


     Gl tonight in this and the orfy
