GaF Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Well, the dream is over!!!!! I played good solid, aggressive poker ....... I barely got a hand at all ...... so because I was playing tight, and had the right table image, I played a few hands I didn't intend playing. I played them aggressively - 5x BB pre flop - noone went with me and noone called me - so picked up chips and noone saw any of my cards .....I had them scared when I played - perfectly to plan ...... I was in 2nd and going strong. (the leader was a mile clear) there were two players (Ronnie O'Sullivan and A.N.Other) - who busted out early with all ins with little hope ...... both to the chip leader - so he had tripled up!! Just 4 of us left - at level 2 - everyone folded to SB (chip leader) who called (he had 25s). I had KTs. Flop was rag, 2 and Ten. So I had top pair - he had bottom pair. I raised him to Pot plus his bet (which he confirmed later he would have folded to........) - except I didn't say anything, just put the chips in!! I counted them out, went "over the boundry line" and dropped them in - BUGGER - string bet - I was made to take my chips out and only allowed to call!!! He had a free card. Fcuking 2!!! He had hit trips!!!! He raised about 80,000 and I went all in, naturally he called - no help on the river and it was over!!!!!!! Fourth place!! Really happy with the way I played, everything going to plan UNTIL that one stupid error. Talk about GUTTED!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open What a pisser - going out on a technicality!! yeah - gut wrenching - in my opinion (I'll be sure when I see it on tele) - It must have been obvious I wasn't seeking any advantage.......

GaF Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Basically - it was inexperience that got me - if only I'd had a few more days to get some more live experience........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Hope you had a good experience from it though. I won't say more cos I'm in SO pay day...... :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open You will learn from it GAF and its a shame that you went out the way you did. Hopefully you will qualify for another big tourny and go on and win it next time. You ave done PL prowd mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomell Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Very unlucky GAF. But at least you have tasted the big time and experienced playing a live game. Which is more than the most of us have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guesswest Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Very harsh :( - Will second the 'did PL proud'. And in perspective, an amazing experience to get from playing a freeroll just a week ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plow-King Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Unlucky Gaf. It's a mistake most people make when they start playing live. Ive done it and seen countless other newbies do it, just unfortunate it happpened there with so much at stake. Im sure you'll be back on our screens soon though with your next adventure:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brael Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open unlucky GaF! :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk Enchance Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Yeah that is the most common error for people playing live for the first time. Nevermind GAF, you should be proud anyway - just getting there was a massive achievement and I'm sure it was quite a buzz :dude Its must have been a great experience for you mate and I look forward to seeing it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant23 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Remember the experience you have had. Some people would have given their right arm to have been in your shoes. The way you went out was unfortunate, but you are good enough (and clever enough) to learn from that and go on to become a better player. You did PL proud just by getting there, and I'm certain it won't be the last time you'll be told that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Well played GaF, you are an inspiration just in case i ever get to play live whats a string bet and how can you profit from it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk Enchance Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: 888.com UK Open Its when you act as if you are going to call by moving enough chips to call into the middle and then raising. You could use a string bet to test your opponents reaction and give you an idea as to the strength of their hand. If you want to raise in a live game you should announce it before moving any chips into the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
