Good Luck Jen

Aaarggghhhh! Sadly, Jen's shove with A High did not hold up to another all-in and a call but she comes away with a well-earned and well-deserved 7th place!

GG VWP Jen CONGRATS! We are proud of you!

Sorry for lack of proper updates - Not one of my best skills, lol. I also really am useless at using my mob to surf the fora and interact!

However it has been a great w/e and was really fun meeting everyone. We had a great team and good fun was had by all!

Having just gone out 10 mins before end of Day 1, in THE comp, I got a bit of confidence back busting out 8th of a small tourney put together for 30 of us this afternoon. Enjoyed it too!

TC all.

VWP to all, and great to meet you all, but must commiserate with Redbull who did such a fine job going deep on the final day but just unlucky enough to bubble on points. You did a darn fine job, tho', David.

Very well played all and nice one DAVID lol thats made me week and its only 8.40am on monday hehe

wp all and vwp to jen

What a great weekend!

A huge pleasure to meet everyone, so thanks to all for coming! Special mention to hopelessglory who's first train was cancelled so he realised early on he was going to be too late for team event, but still turned up to support the team, n1 m8!

Scott - First casualty, but after checking in the bb with 10 8 and the flop coming down 988... limper had 99... what can you do lol. Turn 9 river 8 for quads v quads exit arg lol.

After that harsh set up start things were going along nicely for team sps, with 8 team members in the last 50, from 90 runners.

I'd made a great start with a few nice hits and payoffs, but after getting trip 10s, AA, and KK all cracked it was starting to go wrong. Jen and Bainn on the otherhand were both going great, and the rest of the team were looking solid, so all was well. I got a lucky double on a K high board, where i check raised my KJbb only to find the button raiser had AA but i sucked out

However things soon started to go wrong, I lost a big pot, 36k, and most of my chips after raising QQ and getting shoved on by A7 who proceeded to hit AAA77 lol. I wont mention what happened to my last 3k but the damage was already done lol, and i was out in 45th ish 30 mins before the end of day one. Harmony and Madv followed shortly after, but good performances from both, and we were looking good for day 2, with 5 team members making the last 35, with Jen as team chippy in 5th with 45k, Tripped with 28k, and Nick, Red and Bainn all just a little under average stack.

So we kicked off day 2 with high hopes but things didnt run according to plan - first tripedd lost 2 5050s trying to knock shorties out, and ended up getting short himself, then Bainn hit an A on the flop after raising with AJ, unfortunately the flop was AQ5 and his shove was insta called by oppo holding AQ, and we were down to 4.

The next 2 minutes were pretty brutal, as first Nick went out - calling a miniraise from the sb in the bb with 34s and flopping AA3 he shoved over oppos weak flop bet - unfortunately he had the A and nick was gone. Tripped then got his stack into the pot in great shape - holding JJ v 89 and A9 for a great shot a triple up, but the poker gods weren't having it, and after an 8 on the flop the 9 on the river was a rather sick exit.

That just left Redbull and Jen in the last 25, and with only 18 people getting points the teams chances were haning on a slim thread with 1st and 2nd being probably the only hope!

Red's day 1 had been unfortunate to say the least, and he was unlucky to be short after running AK into JJ about 4 times and losing all of them. His determined run on Day 2 with his shortish stack wasn't to be, and he was the point bubble on 19th when his 910 shove got a nice looking call from 66 but he lost the flip, vwp and great effort tho.

Jen was going great, but took a big hit with 12 left, her AK losing to A7 with a river 7. She started the final table in 8th/9, managed to hang on for a bit, but pushed a 9bb stack in from the co with A9s, and ran into QQ in the sb and KK in the bb! Harsh! An awesome performance from the super-sub tho to get 7th, and she wont be allowed to be sub for the next one!

Once again thanks to the team, I had a chat with the organiser and got our name downn for the provisional next one, hopefully this summer some time. I cant wait!

Big congrats on the FT/cash JEN, vwp!!

Massive thanks to you all for a great weekend

Hi All Scott told me to sign up as quadnines (top bloke) after knocking him out and tell you all that he didn’t go all in with rubbish.
I was on the button with 4 limpers the table had been quite tight and aggressive and for 4 people to limp was very unusual im sat with pocket nines and have a feeling that I was behind to at least one bigger pair. I decide to limp as well and SB calls and Scott checks with his K8s.
Flop comes down 988 Scott hits trips and bets out about 1k only to be re-raised by UTG to about 3.5K folds around to me and I push my 9k into the pot (not wanting an over pair to hit on turn or river) Scott instantly calls with his trips as he only has about 5k left. UTG then spends 5 mins before folding general consensus is he had JJ or QQ ( if I was wrong to limp he was even more so) what made this even more interesting was that one girl was away from the table and was folded automatically. After the hand was done the dealer said she had AA. Any way turn comes down 9 and river another 8
Quad 9 over Quad 8s
Unlucky mate gutting

Hope you all had a great time Whipit (UKSharks and now Quadnines)

Hopefully you'll see that SPS is the future in terms of team If not then Tesco-Kick-dac will be having words

Cheers Quads lol!

was great day and great to meet u all.

well done to all. sorry i had to dash off for what turned out to be a false alarm!

A very well done again to all and especially redbull and jen. SUPERSUB! (no longer tho!)

Hello folks,

Firstly a massive thanks to Wildrick for the opportunity to play and secondly it was wonderful to meet you all. It was a fantastic weekend with some great poker and some awesome people.

I was quite happy with my personal performance managing the second day and only going out to a bad beat.As i finished 3rd in the team does that make me the 3rd best player on the forum lol.The short and simple answer to that is no but at least i did not disgrace myself at the event.

One thing i have learnt is that drinking heavily till silly o clock in the morning 2 nights running is not condusive too decisive poker but without the drinking i would not of had such a cracking deep conversation with Madv on the friday night and such a good laugh with Redbull, Bainn, Discord and eventually Scott and Redbulls nephew George(faqsake) when they staggered back from the 3 card poker table at 5 am in the morning with a pocket full of cash.

Bainn was a inspiring captain always letting me i was playing poorly but without his hilarious antics at the table on day 1 it would of not been the same.

Rick got a disgusting beat on his queens the other guys push was strange then he hit miracle cards.

Also a nasty beat for discord for a treble up with ak vs aj and qj with the queen jack winning. She may of been short stacked but a treble up would been another player in day 2 and anything can happen. ul harmony.

A big thankyou the Nikthebad as i know now the finer tactics to Black jack and 3 card poker.

A massive congratulations to Geminis for a fantastic 7th place and some awesome play.

A big shout out to hoplesglory who was so unlucky with the train but still made it down . Pleasure to meet you mate.

One thing i was very happy with was being called a student and a youngster all the time although im actually 32 and older than a few of the team, Very flattering and without that i would not have had the pleasure of Bainns father like wisdom. (a clip round the back of the head and no dinner only kidding dude)

Finally thankyou so much Dave for the lift although my plonker like brain managed to send you 30 mins in the wrong direction before a 7 and a half hour drive it was a massive favour and i really appreciated it. It was very kind of you and george not to give me a quick kicking leave me in a ditch by the side of the M6 and leave me with a comment "theres your lift ya wee barstard". Seriously mate thanks and glad you got home ok. Wp as well dude.

Thought i would leave a long post as wont be able to comment much or play poker because im back looking after my grandparents.

My body is a temple now and zen poker is the future one thing i have taken from the weekend.
Thanks again rick without you and the site this great experience wouldnt of been possible. Great to meet you all and hope to see you all again. Do look after yourseves. Choose peace and love over fear and hate(which you guys will)but most of all be good to yourselves and help others

PEACE GUYS.

P.S BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM ive hit the miracle Queen

P.P.S sorry about the bad grammer BAinn
