Seem to have an increased amount of bubbles this week as the poker Gods mock me. I can blame luck one way or another for most of them but there has to be something I can do better. Interestingly Dara's book on Satelite/bubble play comes out this week and I'll pick up a copy. It is the priority area for me to improve upon. 

The UK tour has turned to disappointment for me. Milton Keynes is fine - that's all sorted. But if you've read the threads Newcastle looks like a disaster for anyone looking to travel. I have a few UK tour final tickets and now have to weigh up my options. Newcastle looks out the question. The hotels are devastatingly expensive due to a number of high profile events in the city and travel for me won't be cheap either. My tickets will run out before Newcastle is over so what I really need is an updated terms and conditions for which I've been asking for a couple weeks now. Sad to say I have lost faith in that tour team. It was bad last year but this year is a mess.

Elsewhere I haven't played very much. Work has been hectic and with me being out the podium running and the bounty challenge finshing I've had little motivation to play. Picked up my 9th win of the year but no impressive cashes to talk about. Only spots to moan about so I'll keep them to myself.

My motivation has been seriously dented recently and I am feeling down about poker. I flew off to Spain for a few days with the family for a break and I'm back now to hopefully get into some good form for Milton Keynes. A couple of games this morning have just been one beat after another so I hope this theme does not continue. Profit margins have been slashed and I need to up my game and find some motivation again. So hard to believe you can still win when on these streaks.

Managed to bink a win on my return. I wouldn't usually count beating 14 other players as a win but seeing as it's so tough to play against you lot in the community and I needed the confidence boosts it counts 😏

Final update before kicking off at Milton Keynes tomorrow and I couldn't feel more unprepared to be honest. Ive hardly played because everytime I load up a table I get beat off it within minutes. Im unmotivated and not looking forward to what would seem like a really late finish from Day 1a. Providing I make it that far. I can't see me playing much poker between the end of MK and points reset and I need to try find some mojo for when the UOS rolls round. I had hoped to play every event but that doesn't currently seem likely. I feel tilted before I even sit at a table which is never a good sign. I class the live environment as a whole different animal though and will be fully focused come shuffle up time tomorrow.

I am really looking forward to the event tomorrow overall. I am taking @Charl_xoxox and the little one who obviously can't go in the casino but I will try and be around on the Sunday as well as the Friday so do come over and say Hi. If i'm on your table make yourself known. I will give live updates where I can and of course, a full trip report!

MILTON KEYNES PART ONE

As expected Milton Keynes was an unsuccessful for me. But that doesn't mean a good time wasn't had! So here is part one of the trip report I know you've all been waiting for!

I got to the hotel at 3pm. I was to the north of Milton Keynes on Willen Lake as I had 6 months pregnant @Charl_xoxox  and my 4-year-old son with me, so I felt it was a nice spot for them to relax and there was plenty for kids to do there. Nice view from the balcony in the room too!

53932246_331350557512992_7083141888538050560_n.thumb.jpg.242b638512e63865c301764e3ef4f4d8.jpg 

I would usually get a train, check in and arrive at the casino a lot earlier than I did but given the tournaments later start time than usual I travelled a bit later. More of my thoughts on that below. This was the first casino I have ever been in where I just walked in and into the main room without even having to sign up. Safe to say I walked through a little lost before seeing @triceraatopp and @Causality  who I sat down and had a chat with. A really lovely couple and very friendly! They explained to me where I had to go to get signed up which I did and then proceeded to go to the poker room where Leo, Tambet and Kasia were. Had an awesome welcome from those guys and a bit of help seeing as both the casino (and Leo for that matter!) didn’t have me down as a qualifier! A bit of searching from Leo finally found me and he joked a more apt name would be MentalWolf – a name that was sticking by the end of the weekend. Given my often questionable play I am starting to agree! Speaking of which the regular Unibet rabble was arriving and Maestro broke the news to me that it was him, incognito, I beat heads up for the seat. This made me happy as I have massive respect for him and what he has achieved in such a short space of time, and last time we were heads up (that I know of) I lost a €100 ticket to him when I started with a big chip lead and he crushed me.

On to the tournament and wait, what’s this?

 54437414_466100823929101_2849033961294790656_n.thumb.jpg.310aef8b1e0dafdccc34aa5a2497e1fb.jpg

No 25’s? How am I going to do my GTO raises?? There was a lot about the tournament that felt weird or I didn’t like. First is felt quite turbo. I had worries about a really late finish because of the 6pm start but the levels seemed to race by on a half hour clock. I don’t necessarily feel that having a BB ante sped the game up and allowed more hands to be dealt but it may have been because I had quite a few tankers on the table. I didn’t like the blind structure. I found myself having to constantly turn to the TV to remind myself of what I should be putting in. Levels such as 100/100/0 and 200/300/300 feel weird and unnecessary to me and I really think having 25 chips in play would have been loads better to play some 25/50, 50/100, 75/150 levels, and get more play out of a 30k stack. It felt more like a one-day generic monthly casino event rather than a quarterly ‘big’ event. I get that there has to be a balance between speed of play, average stack, number of BB’s and the length of the tournament but many Unibet regs ended up firing off 2-3 bullets each and I think the structure had a lot to do with this. Whilst the sat crushers online can do that, a rec is going to feel disheartened by it.

It was good for Unibet ultimately as the rebuys allowed them to just creep over the guarantee. For comparison, this tournament was over by 10:30pm on the Sunday and had a later start time. When I came 3rd in Glasgow it was about 3:30am and we started earlier but I heard so many comments from people who thought the structure was fantastic and I have to agree, it was. This tournament didn’t last very long for me - only 3 hours. So It’s possible I have a biased view because of that and I’m certainly not saying the set up was a disaster, but I honestly believe the structure needs some work.

So, moaning out the way in part two we will do some hand analysis from my brief time in the tournament!

Great blog as always @MetalWolf and really glad we finaly got to meet in person  

I do agree with many of your opinions about the structure. For me the biggest inconvenience was how the blind levels got set up. I dont remeber the levels exactly but it was something like

1. 100/100

2. 200/100

3. 200/100 + 200 big blind ante 

4. 300/200 + 300bb ante

5. 400/200 + 400bb ante

6. 500/300 + 500bb ante

etc... I have never played with that kind of blind structure before where the small blind is so big every second level & dont know how much I should adjust bcs of that but it will definatly have an impact on the game and make for more multiway pots=higher variance in an already high variance structure. In addition the big blind ante where kept the same size no matter the amount of players at the table, which sometimes was 6 instead of 9 players. Im not sure but I do think that is how most casinos do it to make it simpler for the game flow so I dont think its something to adress on its own but when also having big small blinds the dead money in some hands get really carried away from what it should be.

I agree and it’s a good point about increasing The variance in a structure that is already pretty turbo. I was absolutely on the wrong side of variance throughout my short time in and even if I had multiple bullets to spend it would of made me think twice. It seemed unnecessarily confusing. I guess poker is about adaptation and its the same for everyone but it doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.

PART TWO

Down to hand analysis then and unfortunately, given my short venture, I don’t have many to choose from! The first one was very early on but cost me a decent part of my stack.

Blinds 100/200/200

An active player in UTG+2 raises to 400. I am on the button with 22 and decide to call when it folds to me. BB calls and we go three handed to the flop of

2 4 4

BB checks. UTG+2 bets 1200. I call. BB folds. Turn

2 4 4 K

UTG+2 fires 2100. I call. No flush draws possible. River

2 4 4 K 4

BB tanks for ages. Checks. I check and lose to 66.

I thought about this hand a lot on the night. Should I have raised the turn. Should I have bet pot on the river. My problem was I showed annoyed emotion when he checked to me which instantly ruled out all other options I had except check. In hindsight if I reraise the turn I probably win the hand there and then. But do I want to? He MIGHT call 55-QQ. He obviously calls a K and (surely) we fold out all A highs. I could have A4. I could have 22. I could have any pocket pair which he will be cautious about holding 66. I could float the flop with a few kings in hand. When the river comes he tanks for ages. When he checks it feels like he has showdown value. I think if he has A high he barrels big and obviously he does that with a 4 (only A4 would make much sense) and KK/AA. I think I’m actually a lot more inclined to call a bet if he barrelled. I feel checking narrows his range to 33/55-QQ. If I put a pot size bet it’s going to look like I have a K, a 4 or complete air. There isn’t much air in my range so I probably would get the fold and in hindsight I think this is what I should have done. Checking still allows me to beat A high, but I lose to a few hands that I’d probably get a fold from if I bet pot (33/55-88, anything above 88 might sigh call out of spite if nothing else). Situation wasn’t ideal as it’s rare and not something you regularly prepare for but I can hold up my hands and say mistakes were made on my part. If it doesn’t come a 4 I’m value betting or moving allin over his third barrel.

Second hand was a bit later on but devastating to my stack.

Blinds 200/400/400

Maniac player UTG 1 calls. I bet from the cut off to 1200 with 10 10. He calls and the flop is

3 7 9

He checks. I bet 2100 He calls. Turn is

3 7 9 7

He checks. I bet 5500. He calls. River comes

3 7 9 7 K

He bets 7k. I call and lose to KQ.

Should I call the river? It does look like a value bet but then if he’s willing to float KQ after two barrels he could play anything. Could also be a blocker bet with a small pair but unlikely. This guy must have been chip leader at this point and floated everything. He hit everything he needed and ended up busting a player in a 200+BB (blinds 400) pot moving allin for 30k on the river with 88, on a board of 23737 and getting called…. And winning?! He said he bet it for value cus he knew the guy would call with worse…. Ok then… Anyway, back to our hand it was clear in my head that I really could be up against anything from 10 8 to A3 and wouldn’t even be surprised to see 7 2. Sigh call, sigh muck, sigh curse of one’s luck once again.

I had no better luck with my bust out hand.

Blinds 300/500/500 (or something like that!)

It folds to button who raises to 1300 and has 18k behind. I move allin for 9k more from BB with 99. He tanks for ages and makes the call with A 5. An ace hits the flop and we bust.

Very standard. From me, not from him. Speculative call at best from him given stack size but I guess we were still in the rebuy stage so he had that as an excuse.

Short and not so sweet! My unmotivated mental state with poker definitely ended up playing a big part even though I said I would go in fresh and treat live as completely different. As soon as I had that first piece of bad luck with the 22 I couldn’t control my emotion which narrowed my range. Very unlike me and I’m annoyed at myself. I plan to take a couple weeks break now with the odd game here and there to try and work on my ‘A’ game. I wasn’t just there to play the main though and you can find out what else happened in MK in final part of the report to be written very soon!

1st hand I would play the same. Raising turn is bad. You basically have a lockdown on the hand and want to keep in all his bluffs. On the river I would not try and bluff him off a better hand. It's not going to work very often because people don't like hero folding full houses. And you still beat quite a lot of stuff: the K is a good card for him to barrel but the river is not. From his perspective it looks a lot like you have a medium pocket pair when you call twice and I don't think most players would tripple barrel this river in order to get you to fold a hand like 88. That's why I would check and expect to win quite a bit of the time. Also, by potting the river what exactly can you rep? You don't have any Kx in your range and the only quads are A4s.

Second hand I would play the same. Maybe raise slightly bigger pre, at least 3.5x / 4x. On the river it sucks that you have TT, as you block some of his straight draws. But, short of some read that this guy hardly ever bluffs I would call here. Bottom line this guy can show up with anything and you are getting an ok price.

@EndbossThanks for feedback it's great to get others views and all views are appreciated. 

I totally agree that in hand one it is disasterous to play the hand any other way in which i did up until the river. I just ask the questions to drive discussion. I agree with your river analysis as the safest thing to do but I still don't think it's clear cut. I think i give him too much credit and think he may be able to fold a better hand. But, I also don't think you follow the blog very much if you think I have no Kx in my range 🤣 I think a lot of expoitive players can turn up with a king here. 

Me personally would call the preflop raise on the button with KQ,KJ and possibly even worse if I think the conditions are right. And having made those calls I often don't fold a 2 4 4 flop. I often float because a tonne of his range is going to check/fold a turn bet. As you say, played like it was it looks like I have a mid pair so by betting pot we are playing a game of whos mid pair is bigger and I think it's a risk I'd be willing to bet with, but is it a risk he'd be willing to call with? I don't know the player well enough to know the answer.

He was the guy that called down the 88 I mentioned for over 100+ BB's total with absolutely nothing so yes in hindsight he probably calls anyway. But then that also probably adds all A high calls to his range and I could be bluffing with the best hand lol

I certainly agree that the safest thing to do, and one which you are going to win sometimes anyway with is just playing it the way I did. I really appreciate your feedback as it makes me assured I'm not just being a fish lol

You made the final table didn't you? What were your thoughts on the overall blind structure?

I can't fold the TT hand because I hate folding but you've gotta go bigger pre imo. I think we can vary bet sizing based on the player and if you've got reads on him and he's floating with KQ in these spots then I'm making it 1800-2k pre, pretty much betting pot on the flop and big on the turn as well. One thing with bad players is they have very little concept of bet size relative to the pot so it's important to take advantage of that, especially when we get a flop that is almost perfect for tens.

Yep. Sorry forgot to mention that about sizing. I agree with you and Endboss that my bet sizing was pretty poor in that hand. 

1200 raise wasn't enough.

2100 into 3400 wasn't enough.

5500 into 7500 I don't think is too bad in general with only a river to come and me having a pretty good board. Would keep in draws and possibly even a 3 but yeah given his style I may as well have just bombed it and gone for maximum value.

PART THREE

There are many things in life more important than poker. One such thing is Wolves trying to beat Manchester United for an F.A cup semi-final place and a first cup appearance at Wembley for 30 years. Today, Saturday Day 1B, was the day!

 55244501_2262615940470725_8354553599447007232_n.thumb.jpg.1ab1caa52e09cee7fe6cfe4e6418832c.jpg

We spent the day walking round MK playing games in the arcades, having drinks in the ‘Spoons’ (Wetherspoons is a very popular pub chain for those not from the UK) and having a pretty amazing buffet meal in the center. It was a really good day overall but was it about it to get better? We went back to the hotel to watch the match as it was my son’s bedtime at kick off (even though he stayed up for the match in his Wolves colours!). Wolves were amazing and Man Utd managed to grab a late stuffy goal to make the scoreline a flattering 2-1 in Wolves favour. The beers were going down great and I was buzzing. Afterwards I managed just a few pages of a book by a resident Unibet favourite before falling asleep, though I can assure you falling asleep was more because of the beer rather than the contents of the book!

54514136_2042365929392080_6034664324893507584_n.thumb.jpg.d053a848bb8e236285f5851b5a00a50d.jpg

On the Sunday we spent a few hours on the park with the little one before walking out into the countryside for a quick drink in a lovely pub before I wanted to get back to the casino to see what was going on. It was community freeroll time! I have to just mention here that, though there was only a few of them, the Unibet staff were brilliant and I even must have spent a couple hours overall chatting to Leo. They always put the player’s first and are always happy to talk or help. I even got some congrats from them on Wolves win! I’m also not just saying this because they gave me a free cap :Haha:

The community game had some good prizes and bounties up for grabs as Leo and Kasia also played so 12 of us squeezed round a table to do battle. It started off really well for me as my Aces allowed me to double up against 66’s but it ultimately ended up like most other Unibet tournaments. Losing a few flips and then @triceraatopp  finishing me off :Rofl: I left before the end to make sure I got into Jeppe’s online community games that you all have me to thank for. I asked at the table if anyone was playing the online community games and Leo looked at me pretty stunned. He, and many others, didn’t realize they were on the Sunday and hadn’t set them up. He quickly got on the phone to Jeppe to get them sorted only about an hour before they were meant to kick off. Good job I mentioned it!

Back at the hotel room I managed to bust all of the community games in total failure except for the €1. At least I can say I went to MK and won a tournament.

With the 22 hand I think you are trying way to hard to find a way to win a hand you are "not supposed to win". You are already winning the hand on almost all run outs. At best your opponent has 4 outs if he has A4s, 2 outs if he has a pocket pair or needs runner runner. Therefore, it's totally fine to lose the hand in the very, very rare situations when the board does run out bad, which in this case really only is a 4 or if it comes like A A.

I did make the ft, finished 8th. Think I made a mistake on the first hand of the ft that lead to me being short and busting out soon after. I had KQo in the BB with like 22bbs. There was a limp from early position (from a guy who had been limp folding a lot) and a call. I made it 5x. The first limper folded and the other guy called. The flop was 3 low cards. I cbet very small and the guy jammed all in. 

My thinking had been I was gonna play aggro because the payout structure seemed flat to me. But because of ICM and, more importantly, because I and one other guy who had a similar stack were playing for the online qualifer UO package I should have taken the lower variance route and just checked back. What do you think?

I hardly ever play tournaments so I can't really comment on the structure and these are the only live tournaments I've ever played. But the structure probably is a bit too fast. It feels like you go from being comfortable to being short too quickly by being card dead for a level or 2 or by losing a medium sized pot. So yeah, a bit slower would be better. Also, having such a huge ante when you play 5 / 6 / 7 handed seems a bit weird.

Well played on making FT. Yeah I agree that taking the low variance route would of been the best option especially with the package on the line. Fine to take a stab pre against two weak plays but the flop is awful and I think I just give it up. All or nothing rather than Cbet. I probably even check in the BB pre and be prepared to lose the blind and see what the other online qualifiers strategy was going to be first. Best to look for a better spot to 3bet that stack size allin pre or attack the other qualifier when he's got BB and ante in.  

Yep true that's another thing I forgot to point out is the crushing ante when going down to short handed. Everything just felt too quick.

I wouldn't necessarily agree that you shouldn't fight for pots that "you're not supposed to win". If villain has quads then obviously we're not going to get them to fold but if @MetalWolf jams the river I would imagine villain would fold 66. The whole reason for betting is to either get a better hand to fold or a worse hand to call and we should be fighting for that, within reason, as much as possible.

Hi Andrew

It was interesting hearing your views on the structure. Below is an extract from my post 2 months ago when I was explaining why I’d probably be skipping the uk tour this year. As you can see there are some common themes. I hope the levels revert to 40 mins at some stage as I really enjoyed the uk tour especially catching up with everyone. It felt strange not going last weekend, but the plus side was I also got to see the Wolves game!

Hi to Charlotte and good luck for 3 months time.

‘for most players (ie those that are knocked out before the 40 mins levels are reached) they play as a turbo and it's a long way for me to travel just to play a turbo.  It's ok if you arrive with loads of tickets, but even then it's got the potential to be a very expensive weekend if several tickets get used.’

@sgriff you were absolutely right mate and your presence was missed! At the time I didn’t think much of it but on reflection and thinking of the structure of events last year it felt like a real step backwards. As you say, it’s a long way to go to only last a couple levels, or otherwise potentially expensive. Hope you enjoyed watching the wolves instead though lol Thanks for the good luck message and hope to see you and Julia at an event real soon!

I have hardly been seen playing poker recently for a number of reasons. The points reset, lack of motivation, busy life etc. In the first 6 weeks of the year I played 1331 games. In the next 7 weeks I played 284. It's not a particulary good time for me at the moment. I would love to play more poker but I just have other things to think about. Nevertheless here's the stats that I really hope i can start adding a lot more to very soon!

It feels like a while since I made an impact in poker. A lots changed in life since the good days of final tabling Glasgow and cashing Dublin and a few curve balls have certainly been thrown my way. I've even played poker in different arenas, different sites looking for some motivation but you all know that life and circumstance plays a huge role in every hobby that we love. Especially when you are a tournament player and can't just get up from the tables at a moments notice. However, things are going to change again. I have had a promotion at work, life is back on track and I am itching to get back to the sort of volume I was playing at the start of the year (1331 games in first 6 weeks as opposed to 284 in the next 6 weeks). 

I'm ready to make an impact again and UOS is just around the corner. Life permitting I am going to play the full LOW and NANO schedule.

The goal is to win a leaderboard. Anything else I will be rough on myself as a failure. 

Let the prep begin!
