I had 4 or 5 Sitouts after me - but Hodgey was raising every hand and I just couldnt back off I dont think his strategy was good (He went all in very early with AQ v KK and got lucky), but mine was worse .....

Thanks for your honesty mate. Its a tougher situation than first appears.

Fonzie, hope everything goes okay with you for Friday.

[kippe6]

sorry guys 16th gaf was running over me tried to make a stand he was in every hand

[Valiant23]

F'ckin work got in my way. Got back at 9.30.


Sorry gents.

[SilentJay]

Awfully quiet in here tonight. Probably not a good sign...

5th for me. My PC crapped out on me twice on the FT again, costing me half my gigantic stack (a whopping 1000 chips.) Funny how it works perfectly fine for 90 minutes, and then decides to go on strike when it hurts the most. Managed to double up and hang in there a little longer. Gained one spot, I think. But had to go for it with A8 before the blinds killed me - called by AQ.

Edit: Ah, a sign of life while I was typing. Looks like we can be pretty glad that we have (or had) such a nice lead going into today.

Do you know where you finished, V? Had a couple of sitouts on the FT in my tourney, so maybe we still got a couple of points...

[Fonzie14]

5th for me too Not my best night

I found on Sunday I was getting taken off a lot of pots I raised. Can understand why, probably only about 7-8 teams playing with their full quota each week, so it makes no sense for other teams to give us a easy ride to the final table (and rightly so) to pick up easy points to keep us at the top.
Now we are several games into the league it could get interesting now where I can see a lot more play at the start where teams may start to target other teams to knock them out early where before most players would wait until the sit-outs left.
Did the guys playing tonight notice any discerning difference with the style of play tonight?

[kippe6]

yes the games a farce, you have to sit very quiet and beg a few points near the end because people have got mega stacks or play for the win and risk getting knocked out.gaf made it obvious that if i wanted some chips i had to play big pots against him, fair play he came out on top.

[teaulc]

sorry guys,i finished 10th,,,every time i tried to make a play i got re-raised big time...then the 2 guys on the other table had sitouts all to themselves

I targeted Al, especially after he took a couple of hits and went low on chips

Yeah, no criticism of them because we would all have done the same but it is hard when 2 big stacks join the FT, they both finished 1st and 2nd , think we had 5 or 6 playing on our first table

I've only just seen this - mate this was the self same thing you were doing to me the previous week!! You raised me constantly when there were 2 or 3 sitouts to my left so it's a bit rich to criticise the same play when I do it back to you!

And apparently the same again yesterday, according to Kippe. Considering he thinks it's a bad strategy, and advises everyone else (incl. his team mates - or so he said) not to do it, I'm not sure what to say to that. One could get a little suspicious as to his intentions...

Bad form, GaF.

Oops- sorry guys, didn't mean to cause offence

I stand by my comments though - sorry Hodgey - I thought you were playing badly/recklessly (and I think I countered it even more poorly) - I accept I could be completely wrong and there may have been reason to your play beyond my understanding (that's the great thing about poker - levels of thinking can be completely missed by players - worse than not knowing things is not knowing that you dont know them!!)

Did I play aggressively (super aggressively) last night? Yes. But, in my mind, it was completely different to the situations Hodgey was playing last week - there were some subtle, but hugely significant differences in the situations (but I dont want to give all my secrets away ) - of course, I could be wrong - only way we'll know is by looking in the leaderboard at the end of the season.....

Do I use the information I know about people that is posted on the forum, when coming to my decisions at the table? Yes, absolutely For example, if I'd come up against the_croc last night - I think I'd have been recklessly aggressive against him - after what he said on his teams forum, I didn't think he could afford to take any chances at all - he was trying to pull his team together a certain way and had to be seen to lead by example - I would have tried to take advantage of that.

Do I post misleading information on PL to try and gain an advantage on the table? Not at all - everything I post is done honestly and in good faith.

All these sit outs is a really interesting dynamic - it's very very different to normal poker, but it's probably, in a strange way, a more skillful game - trying to adjust to the situation and maximise your performance..... It's one we're all working on, and probably all getting better at - but there's a lot of improvement still possible for all of us.......

[Fonzie14]

Hi all.

Good news. The hospital has a wireless network, although signal is patchy. Dont think I'll be able to play, but at least I can watch forum and rail from my sickbed .

Good luck in all your poker exploits this weekend.
