brael Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: Poker Player Grand Prix II @ Betfair Not to be my night... First hand I played was A3s... flop comes AA3... first to act puts in a big bet, I raise and the last player in the hand goes all-in. Naturally, I call and he turns over AT. Turn produces a rag but the river, the sodding river, produces another 3 and the pot ends up being split!! :wall I'd rather it had produced a T and put me out!! Seen naff all after that and tried to get clever when I paired a 2 with a king kicker... needless to say it didn't work! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Re: Poker Player Grand Prix II @ Betfair Freeroll 3 report Congratulations to 'Viceroy13' who won the third freeroll on May 22 By Chris Marais May 2006 There was a gunfight at the Betfair corral as freeroll 3 went down last night, with the customary 300 player capacity field, and unfortnately the customary registration glitches. This time it was down to World Cup maintenance on the Betfair site on Monday morning, which is OK in my book with the big tournament less than three weeks away. But back to the other big tournament. The PokerPlayers were soundly thrashed in freeroll 3, with only one cowpoke cracking the top 100. Very poor. First to hang up his spurs was ‘Dicey’ who bombed out in 194th, with the rest of the posse biting the dust in quick succession. Next to go was ‘Tallulah’ in 192nd, and then ‘K_Unknown’ continued his bad run exiting 187th. Dudek was left back at the ranch this week minding the cattle. Next was ‘Hillyfish’ who earned office bragging rights in not being the first PokerPlayer out this week, followed by 'Shafty78' who made his customary good start, but slipped from there to exit in 142nd - leaving only ‘darklord5’ in at the first first break. ‘darklord5’ planned a new strategy this week – ultra-tight survival. Of course this was tested early on, when seated on a table with ‘billythfc’ – who nailed ‘darklord5’ last time out. An early face-off was inevitable, and trip Kings helped ‘darklord5’ put a big dent his nemesis’ stack early on, and billythfc was all-in shortly after, and saying his goodbyes after only about five hands. After making the final table in freeroll 2, ‘billythfc’ was gone in the blink of an eye – that’s poker folks. So back to the ultra-tight strategy with ‘darklord5’ trying to play out of the blinds, but the cards had dried up. Next was a tour of the tables, being moved four or five times, which was disconcerting to say the least, with players having a pop at the bounty regularly. The rocklike tactics were working though, making some good laydowns, once passing on 9-9 looking down the barrel of A-A. Chips dwindled to the bare minimum a few times but a couple of bigslicks helped out, as did tripling through with a nut flush. But it was survival play rather than positive play and it came to end as ‘darklord5’s’ J-10 ran into A-10, with a 10 showing on the flop. No further help arrived and it was off into the sunset in 61st. The field continued to thin at a steady rate, with aggressive play and vicious blinds meaning there was no slowdown as the tournament approached the final table stage. This quick tempo continued at the final table, with bold play to the fore and at the final break there were three players left. ‘Viceroy13’ had a considerable six to one chip advantage over ‘barbetta’ and ‘1mcscom’. Particular mention must be made of ‘1mcscom’ who won the first freeroll, and put in another excellent performance. He went first and it was heads-up between the other two. Due to ‘Viceroy13’s’ massive chip lead, it didn’t last long, and his A-4 beat off A-J with a 4 showing on a rainbow board. Congratulations to everyone that managed to register and play and commiserations to the PokerPlayer posse, who are busy watering the horses and dusting themselves down ready for the next raid.
