Reviewing hand history tonight, I spotted a trend in playing premium pairs.
Going by experience on Sky, I only raise big or shove with premium pairs,
but it still doesn't get the job done as any rag A or K seems to bink vs them.
#561881028 KK called by rag A, oppo hits FH
#561907975 QQ caled by rag K, oppo hits K
#561926217 QQ called by rag A, oppo hits A
#561945705 KK called by rag A, oppo hits flush
#561958644 KK called by rag A, oppo hits A
Conclusion - PREMIUM HANDS ARE RUBBISH. lol
ps: I did hit a K once tonight with KK so maybe variance just fell asleep for a bit.
GRAND TOTAL £156990.18
Not a lot I can say about SPT Notts tbh - It was a complete washout for me. Firstly, my car broke down (Burnt Out Clutch) but my bro (Rawhand) came to the recue and managed to get me there on saturday, but later than I had antisipated.
We were looking forward to playing in the 8pm Side Event, and stayed at DTD most of the day. 6pm we decided to go out and grab some lunch and then head back to DTD to reg for the sidey. I asked quite a few players if they had regged yet and most hadn't.
Thinking we still had plenty of time I decided to reg later. This was not a good idea, as we were told the side event had been capped at 50 players. After quite a bit of moaning, they somehow managed to get me in, however, I wasn't comfortable with this as there were more than a dozen people in the que before me who couldn't get a seat.
I couldn't get a seat for my bro either, which meant he would have to stand around whilst I played. FlashJonny couldn't get in either, so I decided to donate my seat to him as he was there all weekend.
I went home pretty disgruntled, as it was just one thing after another that went wrong. MrB wasn't happy either and quite understandably after a player at his table turned his cards over. Personally I would have called the tournament director and asked for a ruling or stiffer punishement.
I have been to the DTD final twice now and I really don't like the local memebrs tbh, but I am happy to go back if only to kick there backsides on the tables and show them sky players are much better than they think we are.
Another thing I noticed this year was what I can only describe as "Bunny Boilers" yes girls dressed in scantilly clad clothing fetching and carrying drinks for the punters. It looked very tacky in my opinion and something which would have been more at home in Vegas or the playboy mansion. I'm all for having a smart uniform but for me, the jury is still out on this one and it may have been a little over the top imo.
My Summary
I like the venue, but, I don't like some of the local members as they seem to look down us and for the most part don't have a good word to say about sky poker players. It wasn't as well organised this year and the bunny boilers looked a bit tacky imo.
I do plan on going back in October for the next leg of the SPT (6 Max) Why? Because I think Sky Poker Players have an edge and a point to prove.
Hearing that the first leg of the new tour is again at DTD has made my mind up for me and I will not be trying to qualify. For me it has to be the whole experience and I already know that it will never match the experience I had at Blackpool. Which is a great disappointment to me as I had heard so many great things about DTD, and really wanted to play there sometime. Sadly the reality seems a bit farther from the truth.
P.S. At 3 quid a pop for soft drinks I'd expect a scantily clad girl to deliver my drinks.
If they don't like me, my game or the fact that i'm a sky poker player then thats a good enough incentive for me to go and kick there behinds on the felt
