good luck morls

[ubermonkey1]

just got back(had a last minute trip to rail g the mole and eck)

gs prep for today was not exactly ideal

got back for the casino about 5 (dont worry g wasnt drinking)

at about 6.30 the fire alarm went off,we sat there for a while thinking it was probably steph and the danish guys then thought we better go outside really

it was an actual fire
ended up being allowed back in at 7.30feckin nightmare.

was quite funny watching a slightly bewildered liam flood walking around the car park tho

saw some pretty awful play yesterday, 2 vs morls .
one that doubled him thru early when it was raise reraise then morls all in preflop with aq,other guy had a5
then morls made a big preflop raise with qs to be called with a6.then ended up with him losing a big chunk with a late ace.


good luck dude

[WASP]

GL guys

Oh and thanks for the phone call at 4am this morning Steph

[GeordieGaz]

ok bad news guys...

morls has gone in 14th

he raises to 4k in mid position with KQ and gets 1 caller..... it is checked down to the river which is a king..... morls bets out.... other guy goes all in and morls calls only to find that the other guy has AK

Not sure how much the bets on the river were but unlucky anyways mate and good effort!

[voiceofjoe]

[morlspin]

Thanks everyone!

Had one of the best poker experiences of my life this weekend and never once felt out of my depth, I played well and was only once behind when i made a call, which cost me a few chips after the cock called with A6 lol

Had Charalambos Xanthos http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=247 of late night poker fame on my table for 1st 3 hrs and took him out when he tried to make a play on me twice. 1st time i held 44 and on a flop of 246 i bet out, he insta pushed and i called, he had 55 and missed and he doubled me up.....3 hands later i get AKclubs and i pump it up the table raise of 4x the bb....he re-raises me and i call for an extra 4xbb...flop brings J7J and i know if i check he pushes and i cant call.....so i bet 10k into a 10k pot and he pushes for 16k total.....i have to call and he turns over Q10.......i look at him and he has the cheek to say....how did u call? lol

Before the A6 incident which cost me 24k i was sitting nicely on 55k with 2 hrs of play remaining and if my QQ had held up id have been massive chip leader with everything to play for, but, i made my target of reaching day 2 comfortably and I was playing well so I have no arguments!

Gaz explained the final hand which was a gutter.....

Blinds 600/1200 ante 100

Me UTG+2 on 25k
Him UTG+3 on 62k

I raise to 4100 with KQ and he calls, table folds

Flop was 382 and i check (any bet here he probably calls or re-raises and i lose half my stack was my reasoning), he also checks

Turn was 10 and again i decide to check for same reasons

River brought the King which i was happy with as there was now 10700 in the pot so i make it 6k to play he anounces all in and im thinking that if he had AA , AK , KK he would have re-raised me preflop to protect his hand and thus I make the call.....he has AK clubs and im gone in 14th. 5 short of the money

73 runners with 9 getting paid from 1500 up to 28500 for winner

i know that i'd have fallen into that trap as well.

Suprisingly im ok about it

I played my arse off, made some great reads, good plays and cant fault my play over the weekend to be honest, so i now hope to learn from this experience and take my game onto another level.
