best hand I got was pocket 2's on my dealing hit F/House 2,5 ,5 on the flop and won chips.

most memorable hand holding
flop
turn
river

HU betting leads to me folding as caller bets half my meger stack
.. he shows A ,Q o


best outcome would have been split pot..

pretty average i know nothing spectacular all day 4 me.
[ it took me one blind level 300/600 over half an hour to get a card better than a Q.].

Dont really have a bad beat from my run

Unless you call calling a shortstacks all in with 10 10 and having him hit his ace on the flop ( he had ace 7), but really thats pretty standard, but it was actually the worst beat i took up untill i went out 4hrs later when i ran my k 9 into kq after a king came on the flop.

I got bluffed Once( that i am aware of) had [ 3d 3c] from the big blind 1 caller i check, blinds were 200-400 i think.
flop came [ks 9s 3h] i bet out with 800, he calls
turn [10s], i check he checks
river [as] i check and he bets 2000, i open muck my set and he shows me [kh jh]
pretty good bet from him so no dissapointment there.

My best hand as you have already heard was the royal

blinds were 250-500 i had around 10k, i get [kd qd] from the small blind and raise to 1500, the cutoff calls.
flop comes [ad 10d 6h] i bet 3000 trying to end it there and my opponent calls.

the magical turn was [jd], at this point you can imagine i had 1 million different ideas going through my head, least of which was the fact i still had to get my opponents money in the pot.

I decide to try and act weak and i bet 1000, like a defensive bet now the flush and straights are forming, he calls pretty quickly.

the river was [3c], but at this point i do remember quickly flashing my cards for garth to see, then decided it was now or never and pushed in for my remaining 3900, my opponent tanked for ages and i actually thought he was goint to fold, i spent the entire time thinking ive stuffed this and then thought if he does fold should i show or should i muck the cards, knowing that garth had seen them and he would back me up on the forum i decided i was going to muck them if he folded.

Fortunatley he didnt he called.

The best sound in the world is the 2 seconds of silence you get when you roll your cards knowing you have a royal and you wait for everyone else to register that its a royal, it took a breif moment then the whole table erupted as did the venue when nathan anounced the cards.

If you could bottle that feeling you would make a mint, but i think bennys bottle would taste better.

I must start out saying I had a great weekend, also putting faces to other forum scribes

The day started out looking like being a complete disaster what ever hand I played during the first two blind levels just didn't seem to connect, I was down to 3125 and decided to tighten up and try and get a read on the table.

Well in to the 3rd blind level the cards turned I was able to build a reasonable stack, buy playing premium and stone cold bluffs. During this period I had a player directly opposite me on my BB he would over bet or shove, one had I had a brain fart, again on my BB he shoves all in for 2100, every one fold around to me. I tanked it for a bit counting my stack, thinking I'm sick of this plick trying cheap steals on my blind. I eventually look at my cards [jc] [9c] which is in my range of playable cards so I call everyone else folds. Showdown instigator shows A 10 off the flop and turn no help, thankfully I hit a 9 on the river, I shake his hand 1 down, In the process during the 1st session I see off 2 more players. End of session just less than 10g in the stack.

2nd session shortly after our table is broken up, during the move I decide to start at this playing loose aggressive, it pay off winning the 1st 5 hands in a row, my stack is a bit over 30g now, a few hands later I'm dealt [ah] [kh], I call from UTG there are a few more players calling, the flop is [jh] [9h] 10? 1st 2 check, I bet 4000 everyone folds except the player on my right he raises to 8000 I make a snap all in shove. My opponent tanks it what seems like forever, he is in two minds wether to call or fold eventually he folds and shows a ten, I rake in a big pot.

Very next hand I'm dealt big slick off suit, I'm BB UTG calls +1 calls +2 raises to 6000, everyone else folds, I raise to 15000, UTG fold +1 Calls in all in for bit over 10000, +2 calls with the remainder of his stack which is 25 more than my bet. Showdown +1 A Q off +2 pocket 10's Me A K off, end result I drop 15025, AQ wins main pot with flush and the wired 10’s takes the side pot.

The table I’m on is broken up again and the table I join has to players with mega stacks, 1st hand again results in a win for me, I win 1 other hand before the 2nd break leaving me with about 40k.

On returning from the break, Blinds and a couple losses leave me with about 26k when the table is broken, on joining my new table at BB+1 I look at pocket 10’s I just call, the play returns to the BB who shoves for about 12k after showing his cards 8 9 off to UTG and spectators, I haven’t really settled into the table when I’m under pressure to call a big raise, I call as I do this imbecile announces I have gone all in because I want to play the Teams event, thing go from bad to worse he hits a straight on the turn I’m drawing dead but hit a 10 on the river for a set. I’m crippled.

Without a question of doubt this would have to the worst table I have played on in a championship event, rabbiting, 2 players always stalling placing ante’s and spending more time talking to spectators, it was doing my head in a trip around the table sees the non thinking player go all in again to go play the teams event thankfully he got smashed by a pair of Pocket A’s.

On the move again getting very SS about 6000, when I’m dealt pocket J’s I shove and get 2 callers, I triple up, I think I’m in with a chance to rebuild, a couple of blinds go by and I get a pair of Butchers hooks again, a mid position player pushes all in he has 700 more than me I call he shows KJ and hits a king on the flop that my day done and dusted.

Overall I’m happy with the way I played, just angry with myself for letting non thinking players get under my skin.

Alas the non thinking player was a B & G'er

did you alert a tc (thats right captains now )?

if there was rabbiting in a championship event, surely they would get time penalties if only you had alerted the floor staff

Gundog dont forget you broke the rules too mate

i saw you put your chips in your hat and carry them to the next table, i dont care if the TC turned a blind eye, which he did.

you took a big risk, i dont know how many times we were told on the day.

I said the same thing to a bloke who was using a phone at the table, somebody will be made an example of and it might just be you.

Why not just follow the instructions given.
