EPT Steps revisited & Shipped

Played a step1 yesterday, then a step2, and a step 3…
Today played step 4 and got onto step5 (I got to step5 before then busted AA v 99 in 1st few hands – he hits a set on flop obv.) so I didn’t bother with steps again for months.

Anyway I got a step5 ticket and saw Stevie444 and Jorj85 were registered. These are players you want to avoid as they probably have perfect SNG strategy (I believe Stevie444 has >100 step6 wins, equalling over a million$, if you believe the hype you hear..)

Anyway to cut a long story short, I killed it and am now the proud owner of a golden step6 ticket ($2100 NLHE ticket).

EPT step6 is SICK (1st gets 15k$ package to EPT Barcelona), 2nd gets a kick in the nuts ($1300).

The APPT step 6 to APPT MACAU looks a better proposition (if you like to hedge your bets) with 3 packages up for grabs (and $1800 expenses I think).. So that’s the likely candidate. It’s 2am so I won’t play it now.. I’ll prob try to grind up some more step 5 tickets and play on the weekend. Thx to my pokerbuddy Slobib [an][mtt][MACHINE!] for the rail!

EPT Step 5 Win!

GUKPT Online festival

played the $215 GUKPT Online festival Freezeout.

I get up to 10kish, then I get dealt Aces. on a board 876 i reraise the donk and tell him to fold
he shoves 44 i snapcall..turn 4. fcking morons.
back to starting stack @ breaktime

up to 17,300 at 150/300 level (5th/60ish)

I Managed to get TT to hold V QQ [he][had][10bb] after limping and squeezing after 3 people called.

bet he wishes he didn’t say GL! that left me 5th

Then i shove JJ into aggro raiser.. he SNAPCALLS 25bb with ATo.. flop axx yawn.

then he backdoors a str8 v my JJ
THEN he gets KK v my TT. I bust about 36th.

Fk poker. Such morons.

Chatban = LifeTilt

So i got chatbanned on celeb for talking about rakeback to some dudes on my short handed cash table. This is bad and puts me on life tilt.
chatban = life tilt!

Played the $109 FO on stars, lost a 30bb pot BVB with my AQ on bb versus mateyboy shoving any 2 from SB. I snapcall and he has Q8o.. I lose 10k. Then my 77 < TT, which is cool with me.Oh my lappy also went into powersave mode when I got dealt AA and I missed it. Thanks laptop.

I Final tabled the $11500 Gteed on Fulltilt (yes, fuck boss media…). ChipLeader was running like jesus on a treadmill, and outflopped my TPAK with a set of 5′s.. GG me. I busted 8th/550ish for $350 sigh. 1st paid $3.5k.

slogging in Ireland

Moved to Ireland this weekend, and didn’t play much yesterday (watching Federer v Nadal etc.)

Played a long slog today, dropped about 1k on cash, playing good but running into monsters and not being able to push people off their hands…

was lookin good for a monster FT stack in the 10k Euros Rebuy (which I won the other day), then JJ < 88 for 20bb and then AQo no good BvB as the bb wakes up with KK. GG me.

Crushed a wee 1euro rebuy (LOL yeah.. These things are soft so I just load em up while I am grinding the regular boss tournies) and bombed out of everything else.
1st place again baby..
Final table was a rollercoaster, and thanks to my Pokerbuddy Slobib for the rail!

More poker underway, so maybe some more Final tables later.
