NEW BLOG + PTP ACTION!

J-Hartigan

First of all, I've just finished writing about my recent trip to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker Main Event Final Table.  My words and photographs can be found...

HERE

Questions and comments gratefully received

Secondly, I'm back at the Sky Poker tables this evening.  My primary focus will be Omaha, although I'll transform the 20:30 'Take on Tikay' NLHE tournament into a 'Have a Go at Hartigan' event if the old fella doesn't show up!

I'll definitely be playing the 19:10 £3.30 PLO tournament and encourage all of you to join me - especially if you're an Omaha first-timer.  I've said it before and I'll say it again: this low buy-in event is an excellent introduction to the game.

The rest of the night will be spent at the PLO cash tables.  I'll keep you updated of my location at all times via this thread.

Nice work, Greg.  I admire your enthusiasm / optimism.

Come on, poker people - sign up, sign up!

Marvellous bloggage James- I've posted my thoughts on it at the bottom.

Just to let you know, I'll be taking part in tonight's TSP on my own time and I believe the delightful Ms. Long will also be making a brief appearance...by which I mean, she will be playing the tournament.

Maybe I'll see you there..?

scotty77

I think you should both enter the 22 Deepstack guys!

RICHORFORD

I'm at work, Ryan. There's only so much skiving I can do....

scotty77

Ty mate- honestly, you should have seen some of the filth that even I decided was too risque to broadcast.

Some of our players have been involved in some shocking bedroom situations!

Registration's just closed...

Looks like we have 14 runners.

Good luck, all!

J-Hartigan

lol - it's been some time since I failed to last a single level of a MTT!!!

Straight + straight flush draw < bigger straight.  14th/14.

Better find a cash table...

J-Hartigan

And that table is Purfleet - 10p/20p PLO.

J-Hartigan

Wish I had the bankroll to bid for this...

No sign of tikay1, Tikay10, etc. so I'll presume Mr Kendall isn't playing on the site this evening.

Therefore, the 20:30 Take on Tikay tournament is now officially HAVE A GO AT HARTIGAN.

I've just registered.  As have 10 other players.

Come and join the fun.  Just £2.20 to play.  2,500 chips; 12 minute blind levels.

J-Hartigan

With 15 minutes to go, there are 32 players registered for the HAGAH!

If I continue my current trend of crashing out of tournaments in the first 10 minutes, I may also enter the TSP Classic at 22:00.

J-Hartigan

HAGAH is underway - with 115 runners!

Meanwhile, I'm continuing to play PLO cash (very badly) at Purfleet.  There are free seats...

Just read about Eastgate selling his bracelet. I don't understand why he has rejected poker ever since he won the biggest prize in the game. Not playing in the ME this year, selling his bracelet etc...

If he really wanted to make a donation to charity he could easily do that out of his own money.

BrownnDog

I wish I had the Bankroll to play in the 1250/2500 NLHE cash game currently taking place in APT Macau. Some rich business man is playing with Ivey Durr and Chau Giang. MBN.

I don't think it's fair to say Peter "rejected" poker.  He retired about six months ago.

In the wake of his Main Event victory, he enjoyed some incredible results.  But, after 18 (pretty intense) months on the live tournament circuit, he decided to quit the game.

He's made a small fortune from poker, but now wants to try something new.  I salute him for that!  Who knows?  In 5-10 years, he may come out of retirement

Quote from another forum:

"Biggest hand I ever saw and arguably the craziest was a guy betting HK$28m on the river into a HK$51m pot with a gutshot straight draw against what turned out to be top set. He was down over HK$100m at the time and hit it."

HK$28m = $3.6 million lol

beaneh

Why do bracelets matter?!

so many are given out each year, it's not like the old days who cares, it's just about da chedda!

J-Hartigan

We're at the first break in the HAGAH and I'm keeping my head above water.  Just.

I'm currently 53rd out of 66 players.  Coming back, I'll have 22bbs.

I've decided I WILL play the TSP Classic at 22:00.  So, watch out, Brown, Orford and Long!

J-Hartigan

Managed to (somehow) make a small profit at Purfleet.

Now playing the TSP Classic and the HAGAH.

In the latter tournament, I'm 29th out of 42 players with a 20bb stack (just doubled up: 99>AQ).

J-Hartigan

Scratch that...

I'm out in 41st place.

AQ<AA!
