Day 4

Ah well, another tiny cash was a small consolation as LUFCBAS finalled the Super Tuesday to put him chunks in front.

Most of the other guys bricked apart from Chazmanchaz who also got a chunky cash in the Super Tuesday.

We learned today that min cashing these 1ks is really important in the grand scheme of things of this bet.

Anyway, 2 tournies tonight

11r
109r

Both are big antes, so should be fun.

Day 5

Pretty demoralising

Played the 2k big antes and lost AK v AJ after a K52 flop, arghhhhh, really love that tournament.

Then 1 tabled for around 5 hours the 10r and cashed for a small amount but its good for the bet.

Results so far.

Its pretty close and getting fun.

Tomorrow night is the 6max Super Knockout Turbo which is right down my alley. Lets hope to win some flips and win some knockout money.

I'm a 6nax cash game player by trade and whilst I love grinding 1 tablong a 11 dollar tournament for 6 hours into 6am in the morning was pretty ridiculous. So whilst I'm happy that I didn't punt I'm kinda glad tonight is a 6max turbo.

Day 5

Medium - JJ v KK
Low - 99 v 99

Cliifs - Had a 2 hour power nap to crush these tournaments and lasted 30 minutes.

Scoop continues to deliver.

Lets hope the others continue to get 10k scores, heh.

Tomorrow we have the "shootout" and the "zoom turbo" literally two most opposite tournies you could imagine.

Good night all.

Consolation is that not much results from the others.

Brammer cashed 500 and Mement Mori is deep, but everybody else bricked.

Total beating me in both cateogies 1
Total beating me in one and tieing in another 1
Total I am beating in one and tieing in another 0
Total I am winning one and they are winning one 2

Overall

As we are running as badly as we could be its nice to be in OK shape, coming up we have some v important tournaments that will decide things.

Tomorrow is the Shootout at 4pm and the Zoom turbo at 11pm.

Think I should have some edge here as some of the guys wont get up early enough to play the shootout, so a min cash could be massively important and really put a breathing space between me and 3-4 of the guys who only have one cash.

Imagine they will all be playing 20 tables come 11pm meaning that when i just 2 table the zoom I should have an edge, again a min cash would be fine.

Then we have Sunday where big scores can be made.

I think many under estimare the structures, they are incredible and passing up marginal ev spots here seems like the best move imo.

8 days left.

meh.

Out of the 12 of us 2 have advanced, Charlie ChazManChaz which now puts him 6-4 ahead in cashes and a chance to stretch the cash lead, and TheClaimer who won his first round and is guaranteed 770 meaning he goes ahead in cashes vs me. The one other who has a sweat is DonBartos who is really far behind atm, 1-4 in cashes and like 72 vs 1400 in cashes overall.

He has 18k vs 29k so if he wins its a pretty big cash.

Day 6

I said that 1 cash today would be ok as it would put a lot of room between me and the other guys..

The Shootouts

I lost the main one by cjamming AJ on JT2cc Tc 8x and he had JT after he 3bet btn v co and checked back turn. Wev, nice hand.

I bust the low first of all losing 22 v AA after flopping a set then rfoldig my way out the doors.

Zoom medium went horrific, chipped up real well then lost KK v AQ on Qxx and then bust the rest 88 v AJ aip, obviously Im not gonna win a race these two weeks.

I built a stack in the low when I made some decent post flop hands and then won a lot of 3bet pots pre flop.

Eventually busted with AA v KQ aip and then A5s v 66 for the last 8bbs or something.

I passed on a couple of marginal ev spots on the bubble, but they would have been high variance moves, npnp.

Almost everybody else bricked both, which I suggested as its too hard playing so many tables. Trigg managed a min cash in the low and DonBartos is currently deep in the low, he needs to final table to get to the same cashes as me and I have 4 more than him in total cashes.

I now have 4 more cashes than 2 people, 3 more than three people and 2 more than 2 people.

Tomorrow is a huge grind and hopefully scoops go well too.

I am playing very few tables at the moment and instead railing the best players alongside my tables and learning a little bit, I see a lot of mistakes from mass tabling regulars, even those who are v v good so I think less tables is more, although tomorrow I will probably reg 40ish tournaments as its Sunday.

GL all, things arent too bad.
