Day 1

So, bad news first off, we absolutely bicked everything! 5 tournaments, 5 bricks.

$27 6max low - AA v some droolers XX and we didn't win
$215 6max medium - 87dd on T62dd v QQ
$2100 6max High - ak < TT, 88 < AK, KQ < A7, brutal
$27 normal low - AKxc v A9o on A92ccc
$215 medium - 77 v 88 on j87

All absolutely ridiculous!

Elsewhere in the night we had 12th in a 54 turbo, 18th in the double deuce (5000 players) when tt < a4 bvb for chip lead, 13th in .fr 6max when T7 < J9 on T78.

Marvellous!!!

The consolation is that the other guys didn't do much either.

Jon Spink: $0 cashes
Trigg: 1 cash: $562
Chris Brammer: $0 cashes
Toby Lewis: $0 cashes
Leguito: $0 cashes
Sebastian Saffari: $0 cashes
Chazmanchaz: 1 cash $68
Mement Mori: $0 cashes
Ch0py: $0 cashes
Luckyno75: 2 cashes, $1568
DonBartos: 1 cash, $72

For a prettier look:

So nobody steamrolled ahead or had a huge score which is good and we had a few cashes to mean the day wasn't a total failure.

Today

Today we have 2 tournaments, I am going to play them both.

Action Hour 6max, $5r
Action Hour 6max, $55r
Action Hour 6max, $155r
Turbo rebuy, $11r
Turbo rebuy, $109r

Hopefully the other guys skip it as its not the sexiest of tournaments and I can min cash the $5r or something

The $27 dollar scoop. Don't have the bank roll to be playing the bigger scoops or the schedule to hit everyone. But I'll be pinging a few sessions myself this month :)

Just read the Scoop Schedule and saw the 11pm $11 rebuy

Much better for my BR!

Just wondering...on your google document you have the day and then 12.5 ...is that the amount of time you'd expect to dedicate towards playing the tournament?

Day 2

Tried to insert a picture, but no idea what my Hungarian windows was telling me when I right clicked...

So today was pretty ok night.

Action Hour $5.50, lost chip lead pot with 9T v QJ on QJxK, that J ball otr.
Action Hour $55.50 Pretttty interesting hand actually. Basically got it in in v good spot vs Joseph Cheong and he had dem cowboys which beat my TT. nh sir

Turbo $11 Can't remember exit now, but we were pretty well stacked, meh
Turbo $109 Cashes for $1200 which is very good news.

We now have 1 cash So if anybody bricks completely then we are a winner vs them :P But in all seriousness needed it as tonight and yesterday were pretty brutal. Ended up busting in 180k pot JJ v 99, he limp called pre and hit a [ ] justice 9 otr. Pretty sad, but nvm.

This is how it looks vs the rest:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtHptstXtxEOdE1DMkRNTmRrWjBqcDZCRDZLTU9abWc#gid=0

luckyno75 and Brammer are still in the 50r, so they probably gonna win chunks there unfortunately.

However vs everybody else its good.

We have more cashes vs everybody else except luckyno75 and we tie with everybody else who has cashes ONCE. 4 people have bricked altogether.

Going to take tomorrows Heads Up VERY seriously, just 3 tabling the HU, expect the others will be grinding lots of tables, so hopefully an advantage there.

Will be 3 tabling the SCOOP Super Tuesdays too and maybe just a couple of things alongside too.

A potentially VERY bad day is recovered now, lets hope Brammer doesn't win this other tournament and hopefully I get some form of cash tomorrow to keep ticking ahead.

Looking down the schedule, there is only 2 on Thursday which is $11 and $109 rebuy with big antes. Will likely just 2 table those.

Friday is the "ante up" and the super knockout, which are both pretty shitty tournies, but meh, nevermind.

Saturday is a shootout and the zoom formats. Again won't be mass tabling either meaning that especially in the Zoom I should have some form of edge.

Then its Sunday Funday.

Good night chaps and keep the faith #teampleno #relaxwegotthis

Chris Brammer comes back 3rd in chips in the 50r action hour, great structure and he is an absolute sicko, so looks pretty bleak for us.

Hopefully he doesnt play the heads ups too so he concentrates a little bit more and we can find that edge.

If he wins which he has a good chance ofn then I think its 74k ftw.

booooooom

ITM of the SCOOP HU Low, and whilst I dont care about the 18.99 mincash, it importantly adds up a second cash for me. Cashing some of the low events is what I banked on to give me a good chance.

Day 3

Ok so the 2 day sweats from the second day were pretty annoyinf, Brammer went and won around 12k in the 50r, putting him wayyyyyyyyyyyy ahead.

I was really looking forward to this day though.

Firstly we had the HU

Low - I ended up getting in the money, which is great for part 1 of the bets with most people. I busted AT v A5 and couldnt go on a v deep run unfortunately, but a cash is a cash

Medium - I bubbled this one I think, I lost QJ, where I limp pre with huge dznamic, he raises I call and we find J82 and he had kings, so rofl.

High - I lost to Faraz Jaka who played pretty meh, but we won so wev.

We then had the "Super Tuesday"

Low - I went pretty deep, then ended up 5bet folding half my stack away on the flop against a stubborn Skandi, I had A3 on TT3 and we raised my 1 3rd pot sized cbet and I 3bet, he 4bet quickly and I think he would peel most tens so I 5bet and he jammed. V weird, but whatever. Something I have to realize vs MTT players is they dont think logically or in ranges so have to be careful sometimes before putting in that last bet

Medium - Hmm, I think we busted AK v 98s

High - In one of the most important tournaments of the schedule we 3bet a fish and he jammed with KJ we were happy with our AJ until the K came ott, marvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvelous.

Some people made some cashes (remember Triggs bet is JUST money won) but Iám still in OK shape.

vs Spinks, im wining 2 - 0 in cashes and obviously cashed more, he is deep in ST though, nearish the money he is still in the super tuesday tho.
vs Bart, im winning 2 - 1 in cashes and Ive cashes for around 1100 more
vs Leguito, im winning 2 - 1 in cashes in Ive cashes for around 1100 more
vs Toby, we are tieing in cashes, but ive cahses around 900 more
vs Trigg, we are only doing most cahses and Im winning by around 500
vs BassySafari, Im winning 2 - 1 in cahses and Ive cashd for around 1k more
vs NigdawG , we are tieing in cashes, but he has cashes around 11k more
vs Luckyno75, she is winning in cashes and winning in amounts bz around 800
vs Mement Mori Im winning in most cashes and Ive cashes 1200 more
vs Chazmanchaz, Im winning in most cahses and Ive cahses around 1100 more, he is still in the super tuesday tho.
vs Ch0ppz Im winning in most cashes and Ive cashed

So its ok, but a couple of them can do some things in this Super Tuesday, a min cash is pretttttyyy huge unfortunately.

Today we have the Super Knockout starting at 8pm and Im just going to 2 table these two tournaments and maybe even reocrd and make a video out of it.
