Well after recieving a mailshot from PKR advising that they were going to be hosting a week of events with Guarenteed Totals from $5k – $25k. I figured id give it a shot as I had some cash in the account. Its a completely different feeling than your standard poker site as it allows you to delve into the a 3D world full of taunts, chip tricks and the ability to see when your apponent looks aat their cards.
I feel in the world of fairness that this site is full of beginners and people wanting to look good even if they are playing like a complete donkey!
Either way, I set out for the 20:00 $25 + $2.50 buyin for the $25k Guarenteed. Approx 500 runners.
The tornament was a bit of fun in fairness, there was some friendly banter and so bravado accross the bored and my hands were pretty dead, so didn’t get to play much. I woke up when I recieved AQ of clubs in late position, we are still 10 handed, so put a 4 times BB raise in to see if the 3 limpers were serious, folds round to 4th pos where the player Orangebleu (who has been very aggressive trying to bluff and loosing), min raises. I have more than her and after the others fold I decide to call, I flop a Q,7,2 two spades. She goes all in, im priced in to call and have a major piece at this, I definatly put myself ahead and think the worst there is the flush draw. I call, she shows As 4c – Nothing, Perfect. Turns a 4s. Rivers a 8s – Runner Runner Flushed me, damn!
Now shes got chips and im down to 800 (blinds 75/150). Button comes round to me and im dealt AQoff, I push Orangebleu calls again. Fair Deux shes got AKoff. Flop 2,Q,Q. Turn K. River K. Laughable really, but im out in 400th.
Decided to move on from this and play on a $30 6 handed s ‘n’ g as I only had $35 left. Now this was better play and a respectable game. No major hands really stick out, but I came from a 2 outer bad beat and being majorly chipped down to winning the thing with good reads and aggressive play.
So $130 in the account so not bad for the day, all in all. I took another $20 from a $4 buy in on the .2/.4 Omaha PL tables as these are a great source of income, so left pleased.
the rest of the night consisted of browsing UKPI and watching the Monte Carlo EPT Live Webcast.
I might give the Grosvenor a go tonight, see how it fairs, but apart from that its back to work
