is that you Paul?
could have got a better pic...
always said my right side was more favourable

Jon, great post. wish there more hand analysis posts actually. as far as im concerned(after having my own 5 minute dwell up at the computer) folding is the correct play. Obviously its a little hard...

Just a couple of points in regarding things that happened at the tour final to myself on my table. just want to see what other people think and what the ruling is in proper live events: 1 - day one, ...

anyone got any bets on the main event? 4 of us in a syndicate. tenner each on ten players to make the final table(taken from blue square). couldnt believe ivey was 25/1!!! in a 7/8 ish grand field? go...

just a quick update: went to vegas in early december with the intention of playing tournaments however when I got there I only played cash games. (all no limit, max buy in 200, min buy in 75) never re...

off to vegas in a couple of weeks. just wondering if anyone has any preference for the best cardrooms. I will be mostly playing tournys I think, looking at the 100 dollar buyin mark if anyone knows of...

just website called airline network. our mam is a travel agent so she sorted it. could have gone from manchester if we pulled our fingers out a bit earlier aswell. apparently it would have been 650 fo...

1 x flight from gatwick to vegas with 5night stay in the luxor 6th dec to 11th dec £520 DONE!

not yet. we are booking friday. its looking around 600 for flights and accommodation for 4nights(prob 6th till 10th). ticket - cross that bridge when we come to it. plenty of tout sites if we dont get...

beat her into the pot! especially as I know how she plays. she's not gonna hang around all night to survive. shit or bust early for her. She could have a pair(chances are not kings/aces) so 50/50 and ...

any1 going over for the fight? looks like im doing a 4nighter. could be a poker fest

wheres the poll option for "dont have a computer"

with your position (not chip but table) I would have definitely folded. a flat call invites people to call and the button/sb probably only called for odds increasing likelyhood that you are behind on ...

which one is that dave?
ive only been to manchester 235 in the northen quarter and stanley casino on portland street

yes, ive finally created the image I need!!! now i can slow down a bit. do we also see everyones cards who folded preflop aswell because that would be interesting

I do like the open card system even if it will expose my suicidal bluffs and continuation bets every raise preflop

what is this magical "open card" tourny you all speak of?

After doing uni on the thursday I stayed in manchester for the weekend. with no plans that thursday nite I decided to check out the 20quid pot limit rebuy tournament. It was 2 hour rebuys. 1000 starti...

excellent result, no need to defend your deal, whatever you negotiated must have suited you and I reckon that was a pretty fair deal

yeh i suppose 3hrs of patience in the game sobered me up a little

came in pissed last nite and hadnt played a tourny for about a month so decided to play a 15dollar noble mtt. 3 hrs later i came 3rd for 300 dollars and i felt like it was probably the best id ever pl...

bailed out on the thurs nite tourny as i did my ankle ligaments in playing 5 a side footy on the tues. lET ME AT EM!!!!!

going to the circus casino in manchester on thurs night(down at uni that day) to see what it is like there. it is the one on portland street above weatherspoons next to the premier travel inn if anyon...

yeh im in agreement with what your saying, if they have overpair then tough. however what I would say is that im always a bit wary of raising a shorter stack on the button with nothing because of thei...

97 for me. better than i thought

never mind how you played your hand. i wanna know what he was doing on the final table calling utg with j 4 anyway. in my opinion as youve stated you should have definitely raised. after limpers then ...

dave, wot is going on. will you stop talking so much common sense! your worrying me. I know people have their monetary limits and I know it would be live experience to go to manchester for a 5pound...

is this g casino, the big grosvenor one on the way into manc centre along the a57?

i know its not finalised but can anyone give me an insight into this poker league that may be starting? does it run like the ciu games league? How much is it a week? its not just like 5 heads up match...

no, think thats what the club make. dont think there were that many thoguh.
36 x 30 was the prize pool with 400 for first. no dealers fee's out of the pot either because it was self deal
BK

yeh for the first 2hr 15 I think. 45 minute blinds to start with. started about 7, finished about 1230. 2000 chips starting with 25 50 blinds.

right guys played a 30quid live tourny at walney rugby club on fri with 36 runners. Took down 1st (well joint 1st, did a deal heads up). nothing odd in that you say (well apart from me winning), it...

im not saying everyone. i just felt there were some very tight players and that there was a lot of checking. not tar-ring everyone with the same brush
BK

Right guys just wondering if there is any truth in what im about to say Played the first game of the year at ***** (first ever visit) and came about 13th out of 45 but was really impressed by the w...

started a mtt and havent had any cards whatsoever. didnt see any flops. blinded 200 away from 1500. folded 30 straight hands (must be my record) then finally played and raised with two 6's in late po...

Right, last nite on noble, I played first my online tourny(bar local ones) for about 3months. It was a 5 dollar rebuy tourny and I think it was the most ive ever actually thought about and analysed a ...

it would have to depend on what the blinds were at that point wouldnt it but yeah dave I like your reasoning about the position. wud have been interesting to see if the A K had reraised Wendy all in p...

dave, its a loose call even by my standards!
BK

some one i know had a decent bet last year. a tenner on allen cunningham to make final table at 100-1 so he made a nice profit. still not very good odds though with about 7000 runners. phil ivey was s...

well done, was this through a live satellite? How often dyou head to Blackpool? Usually on a sunday you get home really late if you have done well dont you? Does nobody have that pain in the arse wor...

yeh it probably was you dealing. i know its probably cheating but we made a gentlemans agreement on the table to just fold to the big blind and just call to see a flop every once in a while to make s...

maybe you could have put in a little more because you must have him on a draw or worse ace. hes calling 42000 into about 130000 pot so 3to1 aginst hitting flush of 4to 1 on river. you can probably ju...

snapper, not quite the same thing but i was playing in a live tourny at walney rugby about 6months ago. final 12 two tables playing hand for hand. got down to 3 on ours and 4 on the other. organiser s...
