Bad times :(

Just be sure to ship to 25!

Cash flea here are crazy, tables put in every corner of the casino. I hear they had to move the 25 to make room for more cash tables.

I busted within 10mins lol. Going for glory didn't work.

I'm through day2 of the 25 with 57k though. Still got some distance before making some £.

I opted for an early return home after my pal busted. Brownie points from Mrs. B.

I think I'm going to go down Thursday next year, I need multiple bullets.

Good luck today Matt

Lasted about 4 more hours, 42 got paid and finished around 70th I think. Had an e nny table day 1 though, was a good laugh. I felt a little out of my depth though, quite a few good players.

Next year!

I came home from my trip expecting to see at least a 5 figure score from both of you.

[x] Disappointed

Hope you guys had a great time despite the unfortunate results :)

edit: oh and brownie points are worth a lot, don't forget that!

Tomorrow I play The 25/25 series in Bolton.

I've not had a great deal of luck in Bolton but it's my local and I'm looking forward to this one.

With the home ground advantage, anything less than shipping is unacceptable. :coolface:

Bye bye 110 Bigs. BB at 400. I am cruising in level 5 with 45k from 25K starting stack. Tough table.

Look down at QQ in MP. Raise 2.5x. Table bully a very good player (he chopped the high roller at UKIPT Nottingham this year) on button 3 bets. I four bet to 11k. He 5 bets to 17K and has me covered. I start to wish id flatted his 3 bet. Nar, not against him he can't really have it here. I shove for 45K and he snaps. KK.

Fuuuuuuckkkk!

Against any other player at the table I fold to the 5 bet.

May be my last until after the baby. We're booked in for a C section on 18th September, but obviously she could come before so may not be playing Leeds a GUKPT but will let stakees know.

So disappointed :f_mad:

After the initial disappointment from the weekend I feel pretty good about my performance.

At least I am aware of the mistakes I made (too many). I felt comfortable in such intimidating surroundings. I must say it was a pleasure playing with the Devilfish, we had a great laugh which was helped by the fact we're from the same home town!

The guy who knocked me out after decimating my stack a few hands earlier actually went on to win it which oddly or not eases the pain slightly. I checked him out and he is a cash game beast from the Vic in London and came 5th in an EPT. I assumed he was a baller after spotting his Breitling timepiece!!

My first GUKPT Main event and great experience. Loved the slower structure.
