mcgin Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Re: PokerPLayer event 5 on sale 5th September Brighton Might be heading to this as it's only down the road. Although not 100% certain yet. Am I being ambitious thinking I can head down on the day to sign up, or are all the seats being sold online before hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galronix Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Re: PokerPLayer event 5 on sale 5th September Brighton From what I remember. :lol G took down a 40k pot with QQ v KK and spiked a Q on the river. :nana Steadly leaked chips when he called an all in with KJ when he tought the guy was bluffing only to find he had QQ which held up. :sad Queens seem to be the hand in Brighton :loon This left him with 2k but he held on until it was his BB (3k/6k) Kept them blind and turned over at the showdown AA to triple up. :loon 2 hands later doubleed up again but lost all a few hands later with AJs v 67 and the guy hit a 6 on the turn leaving , I think 18 outs but didn't hit at all and went out 8th. A good show once again from G with some very good play. Anyway I'm pissed as usual so some of it may be wrong so G will reveal all when he gets the chance to reply. :nana:nana:nana:nana:nana:nana:nana:nana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morlspin Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Re: PokerPLayer event 5 on sale 5th September Brighton Thanks Guys Eric summed it up almost spot on. The AA was on my BB and then i doubled up on my small blind too, apart from that i played well and really enjoyed myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Re: PokerPLayer event 5 on sale 5th September Brighton I was up to 38k when i made the final table with blinds of 3k/6k My demise came after a guy had pushed all in on my BB when i had A9 and i decided to fold, only for him to the exact same thing on my SB when i had KJ....i called this time after putting him on a much bigger range of hands than anything that premium! His QQ held up but luckilly i had him covered and im down to 2k I wait for a full round til my BB and decide to go blind and only look once they other guys had acted and shown on the river...2 callers and im up against A8 and 34 who had hit the 3.....i get a come on, turn them over by the TD and everyone stands around to see if im in or out......1st card turned over an Ace.....a few oohs and arghhhs and then i whip over the 2nd one.....an Ace!!!! Cheers, photos and laughter later I get up to 6K and can now fold the SB lol It all folds round to me in the SB and i go blind again for the bb to get a free shot at me....he turns over K9o and i think i have to be behind so i turn em over and i have KJ again lol....im now up to 12k and laughing my arse off with loads of the rail having a ball! 3 hands later it gets folded round to me and i look down and see AJ spades and decide to push, SB fold and BB makes up the extra 4k and turns over 69o.... 6 on the flop and im gone, but won £180 and had a laugh all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
