Ul Rob, AK vs QT, you had favourite but what can you do
51st out of nearly 6000 is oustanding, good practice for a certain tournament this week!

Very ul but wp on getting that deep.
Just in case anyone missed the last hand, must be horrible rereading this.

thanks lads, totally sick about that, was card dead for a long time at the end, i thought villian could pass QT for another 70k, since id been tight, but win that hand where im 4/6 fav and id 265k and im good shape.

over 7 hours and ive endless work to finish up b4 i fly out on wednesday, was hoping to be in work early today !!

still, keep battling away , will connect with one soon.

(by the way, that turns into a crap shoot, and with those blinds, if u have the stack for it, the re steal is a great move !!! )

taking positives from it, similar performance in vegas ME will get me about 100k !

I dont think he can pass any hand with the price hes getting

Norwich Fan Rob

yes , Daragh u are correct, the blinds are antes were huge at that stage.

found it very hard to get a spot to open raise, and 8 high was never really cutting it for me.

Was pleased to see AK, hoped he had Ax, but still not to worry, we can only get it in ahead.

Well done anyway. How much did you win?

But from 45th on is where the real big jumps were. 20th was over 5k.
So was an expensive enough beat for my big slick.

After 8th out of 474 in last sundays 50k on betfair, and now 51st out of 5884 im happy enough with my multi long blind game going to vegas.

Have to agree Rob, I was on 28k with the blinds been 1/2k so if you made a move it was very hard to get away from it and you can go card dead on stars for ever if you dont try to steal more.

I was called down by A2 on a Ace high flop when I had the straigh draw, so couldn't really lay it down. I dont know how he could call a large preflop raise with A2, but of course they were suitttttttttt.

Well played rob, I was watching this too, you had some great gutsy calls in the midst of it all and got unlucky a few times, if things had gone with you before and during the hand you had got knocked out on you would of had a monster stack.

Wp and good luck in Vegas.
