So the Euro millions' numbers were : 34 35 38 39 46 3 4
There were no winners of the 100million jackpot, but the 5+1 got €362,493 - so sick - anyone else reckon that it should be at least 3million.

I think this is the first time I have actually 'watched' the late late show since tubridy started on it, and I really have to say that the stupid live band thing he has, that he had on his last show as well, is really annoying. I hated those band things when I first saw one on Letterman 15+ years ago, and I still hate them.

I'm out of the GJP Deepstack. Gone at 22:30, level 7, 300-600 ante 50.

Early on I had 57,000. Then after a raise and re-raise to 3,900 I found QQ on the button, not sure what to do but called. There was betting all the way, a jack on the flop and a jack the river. I bet 10,000 on the river but he figured I didn't come into the hand with something as weak as a jack. He called with AA. I lost about 30,000 there. Very poor by me.

I stayed at 25,000 most of the evening, and told the others I would be playing lots of hands to get back up. Four players limped and I had Ks9c in the big blind. The flop was Kd9sTs and I went all-in for about 24k to force out straight and flush draws. If someone had JQ I was cooked. UTG called with AcKc. A small spade on the turn eliminated the As as an out, but he hit one of the two remaining aces on the river.
I was happy with his call as it gave me a chance to get back in the game.

Edit: a ten on the river also not favourable.

I dont think you need to be shipping 24k to pick up 2500 there. Its by no means panic stations with 40bb and playing lots of hands to get back up is pretty counter productive.

Just noticed Chris Dowling knocked out too..Doesn't give his stack size but i thought it was spewy.

I just witnessed a hand that saw the 2009 IPC runner up, Chris Dowling, hit the rails. There's three to the flop of a flop of ThJhKs, there's 3-way action which sees Chris lead out and Geoffery Doko shove for about 70k. Action is folded back to Chris who calls with 6h-9h which has to improve (well, you'd have hoped it would have to) against Doko who has Qs9d to have flopped the second nuts.

The turn comes a 5 and the river is a red Ace. It's diamonds though so it's of no help to Chris who hits the rails.

Blinds are now 400/800 with an Ante of 75. 400 players remain with play set to finish at around 3am!

I read that earlier and it looks terrible, but I guess his stack size has a huge bearing. It's pretty bad unless he's short though.

I hate it when French people win hands because then I can't ask them what happened. I suppose I could have asked Chris but he's a big lad and I'm not risking my body and limb on Day 1! He wasn't that short in the hand, he didn't have 70k which Doko shoved for and was probably closer to 30k but I don't think he was committed to calling. As I always say though, there's a reason why I report instead of play!

nice little game of 50 omaha to unwind after my grind yesterday , up a couple of ton then some big stacks sit down, I leave pronto , too tired for those fellows. Still another night of profit before tomorrows side event at the deepstack. really pissed I missed the ME ticket by a couple of places . Now to pull a 12 hours sleeping session now.

bad cooler for NFR there.

can anyone remind me if I said anything bad on here about that fish chap, I can't remember saying anything too bad, just curious.

[AdMMM]

How's Nicky fairing Adam?

Nicky has been moved to Table 2 I think. He was hovering around starting stack when I spoke to him earlier. He won't be doing anything too funky from the looks of it as I saw him fold the mighty 9-4o earlier on when chatting to him. Clearly a man at the top of his game.

Played on iPoker for the first time in about a year cos I was transferring to FeetMagic. Obv fired up a couple tables waiting for it to go through, and obv shipped 2 and a half buyins at £100 PLO in the 30 hands I had to wait.

Anyone else want transfers?

Your comment is probably sound.
But a raise to 2,000 got no respect, getting to see a flop was about 6,000 if a few players were in the pot. I wasn't going to let players with 80k see a flop turn and river cheaply.

In early levels I had thrown in three chips of different colours 5000, 500, 100 when I thought I had put in 1000, 500, 100. Everyone realised I had made a mistake so I got a caller. I followed with a couple of turn and river bets of 2,000 and won the pot with AK on an ace flop. Later I threw in three 5,000 chips when I had AA. I showed it. Table opinion was I had made another mistake. Or had I? It was an overbet with little downside. I wanted a reckless image.

I said I was going to play lots of hands, but I wasn't, only playing cheap pots if I had something. On my exit hand I'm sure the player who called thought I had a middling king, or a flush draw ( ) I wasn't trying to pick up a couple of thousand. I wanted a call from a dominated hand.
I'll admit my earlier loss with QQ was pathetic.

The one good move I made in the Deepstack was bringing with me the seat cushion I use at my home desk. I looked a bit of a fool tool carrying it on the bus (left the car at home anticipating parking problems).
It cost €50 and is called "designer wedge" from physiosupplies website (made by spinalproducts.co.uk). It was very comfortable.
I've been at tourneys where the seating was hard plastic stacking chairs.

I'm out of the GJP Deepstack. Gone at 22:30, level 7, 300-600 ante 50.

Early on I had 57,000. Then after a raise and re-raise to 3,900 I found QQ on the button, not sure what to do but called. There was betting all the way, a jack on the flop and a jack the river. I bet 10,000 on the river but he figured I didn't come into the hand with something as weak as a jack. He called with AA. I lost about 30,000 there. Very poor by me.

I stayed at 25,000 most of the evening, and told the others I would be playing lots of hands to get back up. Four players limped and I had Ks9c in the big blind. The flop was Kd9sTs and I went all-in for about 24k to force out straight and flush draws. If someone had JQ I was cooked. UTG called with AcKc. A small spade on the turn eliminated the As as an out, but he hit one of the two remaining aces on the river.
I was happy with his call as it gave me a chance to get back in the game.

Edit: a ten on the river also not favourable.

Open shoved 24k to win 2.4k????

[kincsem]

Open shoved 24k to win 2.4k????

No. I flopped two pair, Kings and nines. Flop was K9T. I went all-in to get a call from a dominated hand and I got that. The plan was to win 24k.

AK called and I was 75/25 favourite. A small spade on the turn made it 89/11. At that stage my all-in would be applauded as a great move, and his call a poor call.

But when he hit the river my play became questionable.

You made up your mind to try and double back up quickly and set your stall out to the others too, so your a monster on that flop, UL. I think it would be more questionale if one of the limpers did have QJ as it is a hand to enter a limpy opening......Also dont know table positions or dymnamics but the AK limp is terrible.

Provided he isin't an idiot if you had just bet out normal on flop and maybe called a raise. Then shove turn, you more than likely win the hand. If you make the move on the turn and get called then it's terrible play by him. But a straight shove is very spewy as it was a limped pot therefore he could have anything. And the 3 cards that came on the flop are well within his range as he limped. You also had 40big blinds which is plenty.

Happens all the time online. People flop marginal hands like 2 pair on a dangerous board and can't wait to make a big over bet to get all their chips in. Someone then asks them in the chat why they did it and they say because i would have got outdrawn as online is rigged etc etc
