robinlacey

anyone playing the warm-ups?

i'm in the stars and party ones,also going to play the million,the full tilt 500k,mansion 100k and maybe the ub one...

are there any other good sunday tournaments?

BigCityBanker

Betfair 50k - $300 entry and an overlay of c.10k very likely. Starts at 6.30

robinlacey

cheers noel,i don't have a betfair account though,i suppose i should probably sort one out though...

BigCityBanker

151 * 300 = Overlay of $4,700.

good luck in your tourneys tonight.

^^^ did you not play that very passive for a river shove? I think he only folds a draw there surely?

robinlacey

a good player would realise i played this very passively and didn't have much,but someone who bets the same amount as the preflop raise on every street isn't a good player and is also likely very weak and has a hand with very marginal showdown value.

plus i just couldn't bring myself to fold to such a weak bet there...

BuChan

just busted out of the stars warmup, guy tries to steal blinds from button i move in with the big A6 off and the big blind wakes up with QQ, nice hand sir!

robinlacey

im out too,my QQ ran into a set and then my 77 lost to 55

BuChan

that sucks. first time i ever played, it seems like a real good tourny. i'm always daunted by those massive internet fields though.

robinlacey

yeah the fields are huge but the players are pretty terrible in general

Try the sunday 100,000 for 11$ for a bit of practise 17000 players and there is a few spots left. Starts in a 30 mins.

[edit-just filled the last few hundred and closed]

valor

god damn i hate donkaments

LuckyLloyd

To Valor and Robin:


Despite the fact that structures are bad and the variance huge: does the opportunity to make a big score through minefields of dead money make participation in the Sunday majors mandatory for serious players??

Or, for Robin in particular, do you play tournies on a Sunday more for a change up from the weekly grind?

robinlacey

i mainly play them for the laugh,despite the fact that they're not much of a laugh at all cause i never do well in them!

its nice to have a shot at a big score,makes a nice break from the routine of cash games,and is also handy for practice since i'll hopefully be playing the odd big live tournament over the next few years.

i'd imagine i'd be better off never playing online mtts and just sticking to cash but its a bit of fun,also sunday is the day of the week i'm most likely to be too unfocused to play cash games,wheras tournaments require a lot less mental energy.

lloyd you playing the million

I've registered for the million as I find it is good therapy to throw money away on Sunday, it motivates me to work the following week

RANT WARNING I'm going to give it a miss actually. Played a lot of tournaments yesterday for little return (one cash in a $5 rebuy ). Combination of not running great, overplaying some key bubble hands, and not being able to fold AA on dry boards against flopped sets.

Went out of the 20k guaranteed on Stars earlier on the bubble in a 60BB pot when flopped K high flush < flopped nutflush.

So, not feeling like playing for the rest of the day. End RANT

OT:

Robin was on about the tv series "The Wire" earlier this year. So picked up series one to have a look. Down to the last two episodes. Best thing I have seen in quite some time. Heartily reccomended.

robinlacey

yeah its absolutely fantastic,i've been rewatching it and enjoying it even more the second time!
wait till you get further into it,its only around season three that you realise the full scale of it,although its still great from the start,it just gets better and better...

THEIRISHMOB

Mansion 100k is great value daily. But there finishing it up next week
Usually only 450-550 players for 100k
overlay usually $50,000

Flushdraw

Theres a 16 player $10k entry headsup shootout starting on stars..anyone recognise of the players registered?

robinlacey

i think i'd call at least one bet here,your hand is fairly underrepresented

as for preflop,since you're 200bbs deep and are going to be left in a tough spot oop,probably against two players,postflop i don't mind a reraise,although i would sometimes call.

30something

just shy of statring stack on break, cant get a hand or a position to play in, next hour has to be good


ty for response robin

robinlacey

just under 20k at the break

Good - I'll give you a shout for the other series when you play live next. Series one is not neccesarily hard to follow - but the depth and complexity of the personalities and politics (street and police) involved really demands the viewers concentration. Magic stuff.
