jeffster Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Went to Stanleys Casino here in Bristol tonight (Yesterday ?), Friday 7th April... The purpose of the trip was to play in the £50 satellite for the Southern Masters, the final of which will be held in Reading on June 3 /4. For some reason, all satellites have been cancelled, so I entered the Casino's Friday £20 rebuy tourney..36 runners...Top ten paid... Having spent £80, I went out on the bubble in 11th, when a guy who had been playing trash all night (especially in the rebuy phase, which was shown when his bluff was called a few times) went all in for 9,100 chips...At that point, I had 8,700, and holding K Q of Diamonds, I went all in too...The guy turned over A 3 off suit, but needless to say his Ace paired, taking me out of the tourney.... I did get very lucky in one hand though, taking out a well known local player who has qualified for the last three world series...With the blinds at 400 / 800, my stack was 3,200...Staring down at J 4 of Diamonds, I thought its "now or never mate, you are on the BB in the next hand" & raised to 1,600 to try to thin the field...Everyone but Ray folded...Ray called...Flop turns over 2 Diamonds...Ray goes all in....I follow...Hitting a Diamond on the turn...He wasnt impressed...I cant even remember what cards he had...

Valiant23 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Re: My trip to Stanley's, Bristol, Friday April 7th I made the final table last night, finished 7th and won a massive £110. I have only rebought once in the four times I have been, last night I didn't re-buy either. I was nearly blinded out, but managed to quadruple, then double and double again to take me to the middle of the field and onto the F-T. Once on there I only had 2 picture cards and jumped with 77 - only to walk into 88. :sad I AM going to take the 1st prize - and soon. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
