I turn around 2 min and you bust?
What happened?
cashed for $87 in 701th place, not sure if i should have bet the flop, but as i only had twice the pot behind i checked for deception, when BB checks twice i think hes never got a K here, and i dont think MP would check behind on the flop with a K, i made a couple small value bets to get value of middle pairs, and 4x hands, when BB calls the flop im putting him on a small pair or a draw. He checks the river and i feel my hands good, i bet like 1/4 and i think its possible to him to turn his busted draw into a bluff here when he bet so small, or spaz out with a worse hand, wow was i wrong, wp sir

Always bet the flop!
Lol what do I know ♦ I would bet the flop and be happy to take it down on the flop, but I'm a fish
UL castle! But still a nice payday!
usually im really agro, and if it was heads up i would have bet for sure, but 3 handed i would have been so sick if i got raised by someone on a semi bluff, a lot would say bet for info, i "checked" for info, but yeahhh i think its hard to say bet the flop in hindsight without being unbias because he hit his 2 outter OTT
tbh though i think i was worried about busting on the flop cuz it was such a deep run, my bet sizing is too small IMO but yeahh maybe i could, but not tonight, it would tilt me if i played it horribly
didnt make too many mistakes in the tourney, its funny that the one hand i bust on i might have made a few in the same hand, it was a loose open to start with, ahh well, carry on grinding the hypers
Just been speaking to gary on skype and im tempted in getting staked for the micromillions series of the events i wanna that are more than $3, all the $2 ones I wanna play i feel my BR is okay for so i dont wanna sell action on those, dont get me wrong this isnt a staking request its more just tracking my line of thought as ive never asked or wanted to be stacked before as I always had a BR (which i still do but for this occasion its not like i can move down limits), I wouldnt start playing till the 18th of july as im in kavos for a week till the 16th then ill want a full days rest
Currently adding up the BIs of the events im interested in the total stake would be $160, however, I may change my mind and satilitte my way in to some of the bigger events like the ME, storm etc. Also another option may be selling 70% of my action which would be a $126 as I would include all the $2 tourneys as well
If you guys have any thoughts, or this is maybe yu may be interested in or you have any suggestion please lemme know
decided id rather sell between 60% and 70% of my action IF i decide to go ahead with it after getting some advice from fruktpuff

Yep your responsible now! ♦
Hey Castle!
I don't have experience in stakings, but good luck if you're going to do it! I'll be reading your blog anyway, so I'll know soon enough if you're going to do it or not.

Well fruktpuff, yano what they say, the 6 p's, poor preparation promotes piss poor performance, so im just preparing to blame you when it all goes horribly wrong
Cheers for the support Ras and i dont even ive never even looked into a stake, we shall see, last exam tomorrow, buzzing that ill be done for ages after this
Good luck in the last exam Alex!
As mentioned on skype we must have a hyper turbo sweat session soon!
We can organise something on Skype later this evening but it will probably have to be the weekend as I'm back to work today
Ship the exam!
Sunday it is then as I'm away Saturday, hopefully I'll be playing the storm again this Sunday, Gunna play 1 235 FFP sat and if that fails 2 $1 hyper sats or a $2.2 sat
Perfect, I work Saturdays as well
Even better as the missus will be at work so Sunday is the best day for me. Preferably between 12-2 while the young lady is down for a nap!
Finished uni for the year, boom!
Just been playing a good session, running a fair bit below EV but thats okay, just happy my EV shooting up atm
Got pretty unlucky in one sng losing 3 all ins in a row to get knocked out but thats cool, its not like villains played it too horribly thats hypers
