I think you'd be better off with $200 than $400 - most $100 regulars would make the stretch to $200 for the one off.

If you're really stuck I guess I could play - would need to transfer some $$ in to Stars but that shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah it most likely will be $200 NL.

Paulee - can you confirm you're in for a 200nl game?

Ex - we've only got 2-3 atm so we'd definitely be happy to have you play and fill the numbers

Roy, ship me that $500 you promised and I'll play.

No no, you ship me $600, then I ship you $500 "lucky money". That was the deal.

Hard2tel is in for the game so we now have 4-5 players depending on whether or not paulee will confirm.

Just looking at timings - it's 8pm here now and the Sunday million starts in 1.5 hrs - ie we are 3 hrs ahead of ET here in the UK

what time UK time are we thinking of starting this?

and how long are we gonna play for?

I don't imagine the game lasting more than 2 hours. I think it will probably be about 1 hour long.

If it's better for you we can start it at the time the Sunday Million starts.

edit: I will not be able to make this as orginally posted.

Thousand apologies.

I played OK I think - floated and took xaston off his CB's a couple of times, snapped off some obvious xaston river bluff, didn't fall for his at inducing a bluff from me later on, re-raised AKs when quad stacked to 75BB and folded it to hard's 300 BB push over the top (he had JJ -meh), called off hard's double bluff tilt push with QQ to see his A7s luckbox me out of 300BB pot, limped pushed AKo showed, then limp pushed AA over hard's re-raise of Roy - he had 88 and folded (but almost called). Avoided Roy all night as he had position on me and didn't seem to want to squeeze me or call my very few LP raises when he was in the blinds..

Ended up +$3 (Poker EV says +$152 equity adjusted).

I had problems with my son who was running a temp - I did manage to record the action but without commentary I'm afraid.

Uploading it now - it will be up in 30 mins or so at

I played absolutely horribly.

I just got frustrated wanting to get in on the action but I was totally card dead the whole time, so I started doing A LOT of stupid stuff.

Other than a few open raises with stuff like KJs, ATs, AQ and 88, I didn't make any plays for value the whole time (honestly, I can't remember any bets I made that were not bluffs). I got poor hands and never hit better than bottom pair and never even flopped a draw. If you folded to a reraise I made, I was bluffing. If you called my reraise and then folded to my C-bet, I was bluffing. If I called you on the flop, I was floating. Etc, etc.

Bottom line: I sucked and paid for it.

I just had position on you and you didn't hit the big hands in spots where you could extract. For some reason neither Triple B nor Roy decided to squeeze when I floated your raises so that made my life fairly comfortable table position wise.

As for the snapped bluff I would have folded to pot size plus but you made it about 3/4 pot I think (or maybe a little less) so I pretty much had to snap someone as aggro as you off with a top pair (however marginal) as I figured you would have overbet a real hand..(what's the point in a maniac image if you don't get your overbets paid off when you hit eh?)


It was overall one scary table to be honest...
