Stars 750k Tonight

White Knight

Anyone else playing tonight .. starts in about half an hour.

I see JJProdigy has at least one stack in it

Im LuckySparky if anyone else is about!

Overlord

best of luck man. failed to qualify for it this week - maybe next week!

Daithio

Yep I'll be playing this tonight. Haven't had a good run in it recently, hopefully tonight will be different. Starting to get a bit paranoid about the stars software though, last night in the $35k I was second in chips with 100 left, went out in 75th or so after losing with AA vAJ, AA vAK, AK vQ10, and then to top it off AQ v KQ, after I hit my ace!!!!!!!!!!!!! And all of them were all in preflop. Sick. Ok I'm over it now, concentrating on tonight!

White Knight

yeah i qualified in a $29 STT about 2 hours ago but i was playing this even if i had to buy straight in.

Just a note for anyone trying to qualify. Stars have started a lovely format $11 double shootout tournaments running every hour during the week. They are normal and turbo formats. 2 tickets guaranteed and if full (and have been 99% that i have seen) the rest of the final table gets $35 back .. so they are great value imo

well first of all great fold

I dont know what else there is to say

shoutman

hey im watching your table now white night, whats your name on stars daithio?


Watching JJprodigy's table too, and hes getting non stop stick about the granny incident


Some funny comments and rebuttles by JJ too

White Knight

on the flop im thinking straight away any 5,6,7c fold straight away. Similarily paired board. You gotta remember there are 5000+ players half of which will be out in the first 1/5th of the tournament ... although i should never have been in the hand in the first place!

agreed

White Knight

was itching to play a hand .. silly mistake .. no more allowed!

Just started a STT to keep the concentration levels up!

shoutman

nice double up with the kings i was waiting on the suckout that river took an awful long time to come out hehe

White Knight

was only play i had on flop ... calling my raise was ludicrous but thats why i raised so much, so donks are put off calling with half hands ... but then again thats what i need i guess! nice to get a few chips early

White Knight

57 hands i sat until i got A10 for a few chips in a race against 55 ... deck better hurry up and batter my face please deck .. hit me hard!!

shoutman

you are doing very well considering you are so card dead. JJprodigy is just after getting knocked out he called an all in with ajsuited and lost to aqoffsuit

shoutman

another fifty fifty double up,

i love JJ (not prodigy - who is out!)

Fair race .. thought the club was gonna catch me! patience and hands holding up when ahead so far

... card dead tell me about it!

shoutman

what was going on there? A lot of chips committed

White Knight

had AKsuited

i thought his flat call was weakness utg ..thought i could scare him

but i could not commit flop

shoutman

well you are back in it now after that double up

White Knight

Had AJ in SB just before break and wanted to flat call but greed said raise he came back over top and deck has been kind so i let it go.

I feel and know im not playing good at all ... just had a bit of a walk to try clear my head there .. here is hoping i can get into the groove soon :rolleyes:

shoutman

plenty of respect anytime you push, just another 200 unpaid places left, hang in there.

What happened there? High pocket pair? Put him on the ace?


Edit: Nice timing with the aa there

EDIT EDIT: Double up twice in a row buck up to average now. Well done

White Knight

had 10s was gonna push

damn damn damn

Overlord

timely double up - you can make it !

Overlord

haha and another!

White Knight

AA
QQ

play themselves short stacked really

shoutman

And again. Having been so card dead early on this looks like it might just be your night.

Overlord

ok your my hero now. from 3k to 35k in 10 mins. 48 position

White Knight

i really had to think about that JJ

gut instinct i was good .. glad only one caller with the 8's as the Ace, King and Queen came out

put my tournament on the line there .. could have laid it down

shoutman

you have to take chances if you are going for big money, at worst you were fifty fifty. But it was the right call imo

Just gone - button had 17k against my 11k - he had been raising my bb a lot so I pushed all in this time with 66. He called in a flash with K10 and hit his 10 on the flop. Why do I always run into these muppets?

White Knight

ul mate .. so close to the money too! k10 is harsh alright

I'll hold ya to that. Ladbrokes have him at 12/1 for the memphis cup is that what you are talking about?

White Knight

no .. but thats a good price by looks of it!

ladbrokes send employees home after 6 id swear they are SO bad with betting in running! he is in final right now ...

AND im in the money

.... now its attack mode :cool:

shoutman

well they dont have the tennis as bet in play, so no can do. What channel you watching that on i might give it a look.

Congrats on your in the money finish,
And while watching you i have played three $10 sngs hehe, came first twice and third once.

White Knight

good karma man!!

its on eurosport2 now ... SAP Open

Overlord

luck is holding heh

White Knight

so card dead :rolleyes:

shoutman

still up to 640 in prizemoney, you got the cards when it really mattered.

White Knight

thats true! Patience is a virtue -- some stats since after 2nd break:

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 102 hands and saw flop:
- 1 out of 12 times while in big blind (8%)
- 1 out of 11 times while in small blind (9%)
- 5 out of 79 times in other positions (6%)
- a total of 7 out of 102 (6%)
Pots won at showdown - 5 of 5 (100%)
Pots won without showdown - 4

shoutman

unlucky there with your 10 10 versus trip 8s,

Nice stats,

White Knight

luck ran out

10's vs 8's .. flopped an 8 :rolleyes:

shoutman

still pulling cards out of your arse when you get shortstacked though

Overlord

How many lives have you got ?

White Knight

its the lucky leprachaun
