Bing's Brighton Blowout!


Bing__

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, here is my thread where I will (attempt to) earn myself a trip to Brighton for the UKPT £220 event later this year for free! 😃I have just come off my semi successful first blog where I turned my €20 first deposit into a Brighton UKPT package (busted on second day) and €500 profit over a six month span mostly from SNGs. 

I've just got myself a new job and with roughly one month until the start date I want to hit this hard and try to complete  the majority before my start date. I will play just SNGs (€1/€2 5 man or HU) whilst also playing cash/mtts to complete the monthly challenges. I'll stay away from anything thats not poker!

My initial aim is to deposit £30, withdraw that £30 and use the profit to make £265. £220 for tourny entry, 45 for travel/food/drink. IDEALLY I'll make an extra 60 to get myself a hotel room for the night. Last time I travelled back by train the morning after which worked fine but wasn't exactly a treat. It'll go something like this:

Stage 1: Deposit £30

Stage 2: Withdraw original £30 leaving us to play with pure profit

Stage 3: Turn remaining money into £265 for Brighton UKPT entry and travel

Stage 4: If time, earn additional £60 for hotel stay

Anyway thanks for reading, I'm getting stuck in tomorrow and I will update every day I play! I'll also provide a detailed trip report once the blog is completed and I attend/ship the tourny :laugh:

Urghhhh. I've lost about 12-13 €4 UKPT sattys in a row now and got super unlucky again tonight. With 9 left I was average chips. CO+1 opens, I shove JJ from CO and he calls off with A3o and makes his 30%. Crippled me for about 80% of my chips and went out 2 hands later. Would have been 2/8 (5 tickets) with 1.8x average chips with plenty of fun players at the table dying to bust:Wonder:

Rant over. Apart from that I mostly spent today completing challenges! Got out of cash with profit :Cheeky: only 54c but honestly i'm only going to play cash for the challenges so I'll take it. Got to play a bounty tourny so in about an hour theres a 25c bounty i'm going to spin up for that. Bubbled a €4 ticket after I folded JJ amongst other hands as all the shortys kept doubling on a long bubble. I eventually got my 2 bbs in with AK and got called by AA lol gg. Overall though my mood is good, looking forward to getting stuck into this challenge! :Tongue:

Thanks @Kamon and good luck getting to your tourny!! Live poker is a lot of fun.

Well today was BUMPY. Haha. Won 3 and cashed 5 in 7 SNGs. Despite the ugliest bubble in a LONG time.:Rofl: Lost a 70/30 and 90/10 in back to back hands on the bubble. Got it in from sb w/ A10 and he called off in the BB with A3o. Then the next hand he shoved the BTN (lol), big stack folded and I got 6 bbs in with AA. His A9 got there! The only other non cash was when I got A9 in against A6 and lost. So nothing I could do with those. Roll is just over €40 now so comfortably rolled for €1 SNGs now.

Had to play Banzai for the monthly challenge. Lost 3 buyins with flips AIPF (AJ<99, 99<A10, AQ<JJ) before finally getting there with A10>A5. Won some change playing PLO. Need to get 4 of the same suit twice, have to try again tomorrow as I'm off out now! 

@GR1ZZL3RDeffo mate, hope you change your mind and can make Brighton! You could buy me a pint in return for those favours I'm gunna be helping you with :Rofl:

Have a good weekend guys.:Popeye:

Crikey today was a struggle. Ran super bad at Hexapros. Just one more win there would have been the difference. Carried on the run bad at €1 SNGs until I cashed in my last 3 and I think I'll stop there for the day!:Smirk: There was one crazy SNG I have no idea how I didn't cash in. I had over 5k 4 handed at 200/100. We were still 4 handed when I busted in 4th at 500/250 (5bb average stack). One player who survived me was under 300 chips at 4 different intervals and was under 100 at one point. He just wouldn't bust. Did nothing wrong, never pulled my hair out so much! I think I had over 6k at one point.

So pretty happy to get out of today only £1 down could have been a lot worse. With no more cash or hexapros to play until at least next weekend (for 5th anniversary challenges) the roll should enjoy a prosperous week! :Rofl: The more volume I put in the quicker this will be done so fingers crossed I can find the motivation this week!:Popeye:

I am so frigging happy to finish ahead today haha. Only one cash in the first 5, followed by 3 wins in the next 5! Most brutal beat I took was QQ < J10o AIPF for a win where we finished 2nd. Most fun beat was AQ > AK on the bubble to cash (sorry not sorry). In general lost a lot of 70/30s so happy to get 3 wins! Even most regs here are quite bad.

Just missed a royal flush again.:Waterfall: Shoved 16bbs UTG 5 handed w/ AKs and got called by 66 in the bb (nice call, sir). Flop was AKQ, turn Q gave me the royal flush draw and the 6 on the river gave me a brusied keyboard :Rofl:

Stressful down here haha. Could be going better but we haven't had a losing day yet so I can't really complain. Some of the plays are just remarkable haha. I'll leave it at that! Got a cash ticket now so I'll keep that ticking over and use it for challenge and when we do eventually bust it it'll be an extra €5 for the roll so all good. Only downer is the challenge points are so low. 20 SNGS for 77 points lol.:Smirk:

Oh hello £60 bonus! :cash: What an unexpected reward! I just logged in to do my centroll and saw a whopping €119 euros in my account I was like holy hell did the Euro get burned by the pound or what? However it was a reward payout! So Mission 1 of the challenge completed (withdraw my deposit) and I have a roll back up to €84!

Game well and truly on! :inlove:

Grinding away. Gutted I'm not in MK for the UKPT fun. Looking forward to Brighton! Steady wins at €1 and won't be long before back up to €2 SNGs. Probably after I hit 5k points and have a few days off.

Hi @Bing__  the roll looks to be going the right way again. 😃

I thought you were keeping the cash ticket for the challenges, that is my intention now having virtually given up on the micro-madness-suckout-rage-tilt-inducing-sickness of low stakes cash. I'll pop it up every 5-6 days, play a circuit and out again, saving it for missions. That's the plan anyway, who knows how long I can resist? :wonder:

Thanks @GR1ZZL3R , roll up to over €99 so rebuild almost done! Gunna start playing €2 sngs again soon.

yeah I had 5 minutes free so instead of a €1 HU I thought I’d spin the ticket and got the UNHOLIEST of coolers 🤣 got €5 back from the ticket though! Stupid as I was planning to do the same as you. :waterfall:

st Patrick’s day free rolls and the €3 anniversary challenge my today could be a big day!

Partner working lates this week so i'll try and play a bit more and get the roll moving in the right direction. Had a few beats today. I misplayed a bubble but I was still unlucky. SB limped, I check with 10-9. I turn the nut straight but theres three spades and I raise to protect my hand stupidly instead of just c/c the turn/river which is the right play on the bubble. Ran QQ into KK, also lost a 70/30 to burst the bubble, blah blah blah. Won both tickets I used today, the €2 Hexapro and €1 UKPT. I'll run better tomorrow.:Happy:

Bit of an update! Roll going along nicely. I had some sports bets come through at the weekend but going to quit while I'm ahead regarding those. Poker wise I got my €4 anniversary challenge ticket but used it in a €4 UKPT by accident. I busted the UKPT in pretty brutal fashion too. Turning a set of aces with AQ only to run into a flopped set of 7's which completed a boat on the turn. It was a huge pot and would have been chip leader if I won it with about 20 souls left. Also finished ahead from playing €4 NL and €4 PLO and €1 HU sngs. Lost a bit at €1 SNG which i'll get back to this week! 

Target for now is get to 5k challenge points before end of month.
