Ul Danril but welcome to TDP. Make yourself at home

[DAN DAN]

Welcome to TDP Danril, I hope you enjoy the Punt, lovely bunch of people here.

Nice one!

It was good to be playing in a big tourny again. I like the freerolls and now that the pokerplayer subscription seems to have picked up a bit there were plenty of people taking part. Around 700 I think.

I played okay, couple of dodgy hands as you might expect and missing opportunities to take the initiative in hands and then having to throw them when I could feasibly have taken them.

The tough thing for me is to see a flop of something like J55 when you've just binned J5os because you were out of position!

But hey, that's poker!

I hate sites you can see the hands you've thrown. I make a point of always forgetting what I've dumped. How many times would that hand come out if you played it? If you are binning winning hands then you are doing ok. I always say, would i call a raise on this, if I wouldn't I'll bin it. Unless I'm stealing of course.

Out in 79th.

[DAN DAN]

Very unlucky gaz, bugger when you play all that time and still only get the 5pts.

[DAN DAN]

On again tomorrow night, just in case you don't look at the fixtures list. Password in Poker Player mag so get out and buy a copy.

[Beanie]

I'll play if I'm home from work in time, but that's gonna be pretty unlikely I think. Fingers crossed

[Burt Saddo]

see you there

[DAN DAN]

Good luck burt and anyone else whos in.

[kristobal]

Good luck everyone!,

I couldn't get get a copy of that Poker Player mag in any shop so I ordered it online, will join you next week.

[DAN DAN]

Hate this tourney, constantly fighting to stay off bottom, go out in 251st.

[Burt Saddo]

bad one for me again. Played steady got into top 80 with 8000 chips and as usual failed with my patience again after keep folding crap cards. Went all-in with QQ and met KK out in 194th, just seem to lose it lately approaching the later stages of MTT's and get fed up. Playing mainly £5 STT's on Will Hill lately and I have made the money in 16 out of my last 22 games.

I thought that was really bad last night, right from the off every time I thought I'll have a go with this hand some idiot would go all-in.

I had the chip leader at my table and he went from 1st to out in 3 hands, unfortunately I didn't have any hands worth calling him with at the time. He was just all-in, all-in all the time.

I ended up all-in with 99 as I too was fed up and I was just keeping my head above the water. A few hands before it I had folded 66 to two all-ins only to see another 6 come out and a pair of queens winning.
