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

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 :P 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

See how he's preparing to shift the blame onto me if it doesn't pan out?

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.

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!
