RuleBritannia Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Re: Dreamkiller Hmm...... Someone called "Colin Fortey" from Worcester playing in the Bounty Stars of Poker on Sky Spoerts 3 last night at 10 O' Clock. The event was won by a guy whose highest ever win was $65. Scooped £5k for winning the 6-max game and then beating Mike Tindall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No i was home all night" .... but ..... yes it was my stpokered "stand in" Pokerstars Bounty sit 'n' go .... ahem. I didn't know what to expect but once you sit down it really isn't any different from playing in a casino ... the cameras are there and you just forget them ... probably everyone finds it the same .... We had 100k starting chips with 15min blinds starting at 1k/2k ..... 2k/4k .... 3k/6k ..... 4k / 8k ...... 5k/10k ..... 7k/15k .....10k/20k .... you get the picture. I was card dead apart from 88 (picked blinds up) .... then the infamous KK v AJ hand nearly put me out. Got back to 137k .... only 3 left and no time to hang around and out. I got berated by the commentator for not calling K9c vs K7 and 56s (deffo caller if I did anyway) .... flop came K x 5 .... 8 .... 6 ..... so he'd have knocked us both out so it was a decent fold as it happens. On another day i'd have won with K9 i guess and it would have been not so good a fold then ...:lol It was agreed 2 minutes before we went into studio to split the £2k so as i had a 40/60 with stpokered he got another £200 to go with his original $500 travel expenses. Thus the winner got about £3340 as opposed to £5000 but Pokerstars aren't gonna mention that on TV. The agreement made no difference to the play as we still had the H/up to go for. I got $100 out of Pokerstars for my travel so I ended about £140 up out of the day. Then I had to travel down again to London to the same studio about 3 weeks ago (met Nik Persaud ....from heat 4 i think ...that day) as they had one or two down from each heat to shoot the feature spots in each programme. Also met a guy who spent $1 to qualify for Bountystars .... and also a dollar thru P/Stars to win a $12500 EPT London package !!! .... he was doing his feature that day then str8 off to EPT :loon.... I wasn't sure how the game would look on tv but playing it to survive and trying to get lucky at the end , I don't think I did anything wrong so i'm happy. If I could play it again without concern then I may have tried to bluff more early on but there were alot of hands the others picked up I would have got called with. Bearing in mind I had to play at Wembley stadium on the Saturday of the same week .... I went to London on Tuesday , back home Thursday and then back to London on Friday .... kinda too hectic for my liking. I had been so long without sleep I had panda eyes but thx to make up dept it didn't look as bad as I felt !!! These write ups can be a bit depressing if you haven't won IMHO so I don't really bother normally .... :( .... I still consider myself the Mike Matusow of the amateur world when it comes to live play ..... key hands always seem to go against me :\. All in all it was a great day so if you get the chance ......

ELCAKER Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Re: Dreamkiller Colin (dreamkiller), I watched this mate and I really felt for you. Not wihsing to blow smoke up the arse of someone I have never met, I did feel you were one of the better players on the tbale and the kk v aj was brutal. I know it's poker and all that but still frustrating when the "dog" comes good on the big stage. PS: The guy that won it who said he'd only ever won $65...what a load of bol lox. He handled his chips in an expert way...as Jim Royle might say.."$65 ...MY ARSE!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt Sohan (winner) got KQ (x3) , A9 , A7 , 10 10 etc compared to 88 and KK for me in the same period. I really had no chance to bluff without looking bad on tv :$ ... so i didn't try early doors. In a way I wished I had got busy early but .... maybe next time :hope I googled Sohan Basu and it seems (as I thought on the day) he was keeping things close to his chest .... Also when I went back the 2nd time ... the tv guy told me Sohan was in a tourny that day and couldn't make it .... maybe EPT London for him as well ... :unsure Still he deserved to win and was a nice guy so alls good :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Re: Dreamkiller Your googling Sohan (was it Adam Sandler?) spurred me on to google you... ...I think you should be contacting Google to complain ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
