Hopefully had a better day than i did at the inlaws today

[JK]

No good lads, think I finished around 14th of 45 runners .. Went up against the big stack all in with my AJ against his KQ, survived the flop but unfortunately he found the K on the turn.

Was an excellent day and tournament though, highly recommend it.

Any idea of how often it will be run CP?

I'm looking to get to the $75 tournament at the casino this Wednesday night.

Every Sunday I reckon mate, check the 888 Poker website for confirmation ... Rego is at 1, $10k starting stack and another $10k for a stamped up card (which only takes a meal, or 2 beers), tourny starts at 2.

i went to a 888 tourney down here in the south and it wasnt the best run tourney ive seen

I know the lad running the one at the Checkside Tavern so I would be biased anyway, but to be completely honest it was probably the best run and enjoyable pub tournament I've been involved in.

i think thats the key CP also, good people running it.

the night i went down there were about 8 other newbies and the guy running it just didnt give them the time of day which is very disappointing

[mickey]

You playing the sunday tourny again this coming week CP.. im 95% there, be good to find out the structures, but it sounds like a half decent tourny for pub poker.

Maybe SAFooty poker club should all head down for the $10 tuesday...

[JK]

Not sure if I can push through another leave pass for this weekend mate, will have to evaluate the likely outcome of such a request later on in the week I'd reckon

[mickey]

Just heading to the servo for a minute love....

Leave fone at home...

Walk in a few hours later...

Alls good

I haven't - how do you do it?

[mickey]

you can either request them from the pokerstars lobby, or check a box to have them auto saved on your hard drive, in the pokerstars folder with the set up stuff etc.

They look like this

Cheers mickey I might give that a try. My main aim at the moment is to get on the scoreboard.

[mickey]

They can be really helpful, especially if u think u played a few hands wrong.

Here is an example of a game i played tonight where u play your position more so than your cards. The closer u are to the dealer button the better, u have position on the rest of the table and get to act last when the dealer...

As u can see, i didnt have good cards, but i had a really good position on the table (being on the button).
even though i did flop a pair, it wasnt a really good pair, and with the continuation bet after the other player checked, i took down a fairly easy pot

[JK]

Gets trickier when the first to act commits a continuation bet when the flop isn't attractive to your hole cards .. Im still wondering whether I got bullied off a nice pot in my tourny on Sunday because of a continuation bet from the bloke before me, and I'd be lying if I didn't say it bugged me for a while lol.

[mickey]

And if course I've never done this in the friendly home game tournaments we all play
