A mixed bag!
Logged on too late for the $4 mtt on Laddies so i had a stab at the $1 turbo mtt,i fucking hated it!! Wont do that again,its shove or dump with the 3 minute blinds obviously,on a 10 seater with players in a dream the blinds were increasing every orbit!! Out of 250ish people i busted in 130ish,no cards etc blah,blah!!!! So it was on to the $20stt, i finished in the top 5 for $40 which was a result,no dramas at all,just play tight early doors & give it the beans as the blinds kick in,i think i only played 3 hands before the bubble,nice & easy does it (as the Stranglers once sung!)
So after looking around i plumped for a $5 stt deep stack job! 4000 chips to start on a stt is different for me,i kept raising as if i had started with the normal 1500,then seeing people re raise all the time!! Never mind 4 or 5 times the BB raises,players raised more as they had more!! O well,after shedding a few chips when i should not have i finished in 2nd for $15 which i cant grumble at.My BR stands at $416 which is double what i started at,pissing about trying to learn the cash tables nearly screwed me (no more of that!) but 2 final table cashes in 4 days in the $2k gtd freerolls have built me up. Nothing risky till the new year then maybe concentrate on mtt,s (if i can find any on Laddies that is!!) gl all ...laterz

120th? lol!
I found a little mtt to have a bash on this evening,$4 +40cents, 4000 starting chips & 15 min blinds,269 of us sat down for some action!! On hand 6 i get KK,i raise a fair bit & get to see the flop with 1 other,it comes A74 rainbow!! i decide to bet the pot and get re raised all in! time for a big lay down,i fucking hate having KK,i never win with them and always see a poxy A on the flop!! That was the only real drama early doors,no need to go mental with so many chips & small blinds.A little pot here & there and i advance to 6k,then lose a fair bit when yet again my KK gets rivered to give shorty a set of 6's! So 1st break & i'm on 3k (below average & only 131st)
Not many cards come my way so i shove AI like a donk with 66 & get called by AJ that fails to improve,now i'm up to 83rd of 125.
Then just as i'm getting some rhythm its all over!! I limp with A8,flop gives me A86,i slip a big bet in and for some reason get a re raise!! o well,i guess he's got squat as he also limped so i call,the turn is a 2,so again i bet a load,matey goes AI but has me covered,i call & he shows A10 the mug!! You can guess the river!! gg me.....!!
Thats the way it goes!! Shame,i reckon i could have gone on to cash,but theres allways tomorrow! No harm done,i start up a $5 stt & cash for a massive 10 bucks,so i paid for the mtt!!!! gl all ...laterz

Maybe a wrong play but any A i figured was ahead & worth the risk! i cashed for $166 which i reckon was a right result...2 top 4 finishes in 3 days (this time against 645 other players is fucking fantastic for me) its only my 3rd 2k gtd freeroll on Laddies so im well pleased!!! What pleased me was the discipline i had to show,in the first 20 mins people were going mental,multiple all ins with A4 v J7 v 98 made me laugh,i kept out of the way and hammered any time i suspected i was ahead,this gave me plenty of power later on and the occassional pot size bet etc easily took down loads of good size pots.i hit the ft in 6th which was not the time to get a poor run of cards but hung on for my best & biggest cash so far,if only Laddies had a few more half decent Mtts that actually attracted some decent numbers id do ok i think,my BR has now doubled so maybe i should lump it all on Stars again!!!! gl all...laterz. Oh,if you read this Amatay,the other good result was The Glorious Blues stuffing some East London Donkeys!!! lol!
