Pokerstars $1 Million

JJP PokerMania

I about to play the above game, i haven't played it before.

I take it the standard is fairly high or is it full of loose agressive players who have won satellites ect.

Any advice?

standard is very poor! very aggro and is quite the crapshoot you wouldn't expect

I won my way in - am playing too. The structure looks crap and I have heard that the standard is "mixed". A lot of the bad players on Stars are too tight from what I have seen the past few weeks.

Well done Lloyd you are doing great so far, I withdrew my money from pokerstars to pay for some christmas presents so cant talk in the chat box.

LuckyLloyd

ocallagh

i've had KK, JJ, QQ (twice) and TT. every time bar one of the QQ hands the flop has had an ace!!

hows this for bad timing

a guy open pushes 3 times in the last 5 hands for 10k. he does it again and I get AK. he has AA.

LuckyLloyd

New Table for myself - 65

ocallagh

gone, flopped two pair in BB vs SB battle (against the same guy who i doubled up). he raised. i pushed. he called with a flush draw and inside str8 draw, both of which he hit.

gl lloyd and all those left

LuckyLloyd

Cheers Niall - couple of tough hands for you

shoutman

Jesus christ Lloyd just saw that beat, what the hell was that guy thinking? He think his jack high was good on the turn?

Ul lloyd the poker gods obviously werent on your side.

JJP PokerMania

gilmour

anyone know who HEAT is? His location is Dublin and he's currently in the top 80 in chips with 400 or so left. One of the pros maybe? (Black/Brindley/Don etc?)


edit - just crashed out

Yep, he is one of the pros, not sure if he would want his name publicised though. Not one of the above though.

no problem

btw ive often browsed through the 'pros names on stars etc' lists and could only find one or two of the irish lads (i think Don Fagan was the only one). Does anyone have a list of names for the irish pros that wouldnt mind their names been made public? Wouldnt mind killing an hour or so watching a few of them play cash or tournys etc.

gilmour

btw HEAT went out a short time after losing a monster pot to a runner runner straight. Board was 10 9 4 and the money went in. HEAT had A 10 and the villain had A J. Turn was the 8 and river the Q. Ouch.
