Finished second in the UKPC challenge so I have no idea if I get anything for that having already won a seat through the sats. Congrats to Solly but darn it, can't believe how I ran HU. I never ever say I think I played a game perfect but tbh I think I played that SnG perfect. Two hands HU where I lose to the one over. It happens.
Zero other cashes, Next door amazing gets theres near bubbled my last two runnings in the special and a remarkable play cost me the UKPC sat there.
So what do we have left? Roller, MBI, UKPC Final on Sky and the Scoop main L .
At this point I would consider re regging some I de regged earlier but I've been through the ringer. Gonna try to focus on these. Still ever chance of a big score, but with nothing in the bank and four left, the heat is indeed on.
I deregged a lot but I'm basically in for a grand with one bounty from a £11 BHer and the phantom maybe of something or nothing from the UKPC challenge STT.
Feeling pretty darn low, started playing bad in the roller. Getting owned bu all now after building up a stack. Gotta find some focus from somewhere.
SCOOP Main exit was a 13bb Shove from the button with 55 into BB 66. Might be a bad shove, I think it's probs ok with blinds and antes there and it being unopened.
Last table to save the day, gotta dig deep and find something.
It all comes down to this.
Didn't think you would
BB would need to have a low opinion of Tommys <10xbb game to consider folding.
Dunno the maths but I'd imagine we'd only need around 45%. We should have that comfortably.
K high good for 9 blinds HU v any good player.
Yeah today represents my 'light internet' day so I don't catch any Game of Thrones Spoilers by accident. Should be a good one tonight.
When I started on Sky in the very early days like I lot of people I just put on a few hundred and played the TV tournament to get on the tele. When I took it more seriously I deposited a couple of hundred I believe and started at 5p/10p, the £5/£10 SnGs and the low level MTTs.
I have said in a recent thread about the satellites that I got my roll from £60. That is true and isn't true. That £60 story is in one of the early pages of this diary, it was the bottom point of a killer downswing I had here some years ago now. Cliffs are I refused to top up and made an oath to myself to never have to deposit on here again, that I would spin up or walk away. I'm still spinning.
Good luck with the Roller, if you have any satty questions or hands feel free to post them up here. I'm ok at sats.
The Roller exit hand, I see there has been a chat.
Firstly congrats Glenelg on the score, nice one mate. Also well done AJ for winning it.
Not gonna discuss my ranges too much if that's ok, I'll just say that is a standard easy call with K7o in most situations against a decent player with sub 10bb.
Hate spoilers!!!
have you read the books tommy? i'm not much of a reader but reading "the mental game of poker " at the minute, enjoying that, but hear TGOT books are fantastic.
there is a good chance ill be playing a lot of sats for the bigger tournaments and only reg for the mini if I make the main.
Im also playing low level cash at the minute so any advice on any of these will go a long way, play 8nl and if mastercash is on I will try and sit on one of the lower stakes too see if I get any TV feedback.
also just started the 6max challenge last night, only too realise its for £5.50 or more, so that will destroy my BR if I don't run well, so far played 1 came 2nd, which allows me too play another 2 of these. plus DTD Monday aswell.
2) With regards to the part of Ivan's post I have bolded, he's pretty much nailed it. Giving it away a bit here but my shove range was actually slightly tighter than Ivan has set out, purely on the basis I knew Pad's call range pretty well. It's a standard adjustment imo when you start really thinking deep into it and as much as I hate to be relatively nitty 3 handed and sub 10bb, I felt it was the only way to be.
Yeah tonight looks grand. 'Mocking Bird.' Hmmmmm
Low level cash is all about doing the basics well. It's a fantastic proving ground to build up your poker ability. Just keep doing the simple stuff correct and you will make money, it won't be a quick buck but it will be a slow solid growth.
I think there is decent value in the £5 SnGs tbh. SnGs are funny, they used to be the most popular form going. Then they got 'solved' and previous winning regs were becoming rakeback winners, everyone ran so close. Then most of the world stops playing STTs. Now everyone appears to have forgotten the absolute optimal strategy for them (I'm talking on most sites) and the recreational player pool has topped up somewhat. I'm gonna be having another go at it probably. I started on STTs on another site really and I do love playing them.
