LADBROKES joined microprogramming network 10th february and it looks like they brought plenty of scandi fish to cash tables finished 15 buyins up on the 1/2euro tables

Frustrating to say the least with 340 runners and a 1st prize just under £40000 what great value when youve satellited in for £15 but i not when you never get going .
During the opening 2 levels i twice caught coolers in battles of the blinds my initial one i had 93c in bb ,i check flop falls q46 all clubs ,i bet he calls turn 4 he bets i call slowing down a bit worried about full house or bigger flush, river comes rag he bets i call ,he turns over 64 for full house GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Then half an hour later im in small blind 3 callers so i make up piece big blinds check my 25 clubs look great on 346 board two diamonds so i check ,bb check ,utg bet ,next fold ,guy on button raises (happy days im thinking )so i reraise only for big blind to push allin behind .
Everyone folds to me i use up as much time as possible to get read on him eventually i fold scandi shows 57 diamonds top straight with flush draw no wonder he looked ice cool.
Now im down to 6000 from 10000chips and already on life support,then at the end of last level im utg with qq so i limp next ny scandi foe raises followed by 2 callers now its back round to me and worried about scandi boy i call (a poor play by me i end up losing 2000 more chips when a reraise would have had me racing in hindsight with scandiboys ak at worst }
Just goes to show that each hand is different and should be played on its merits but i let the coolers affect me.
Queens was eventually my only pocket pair in seven 45 minute levels before my exit came so all in all if it could go wrong it did.
Decided to let the clock go past 12 before jumping on the cash tables and as usual the 1/2 was full of numpties with money to burn 3rd hand in ive got kk on button 2 callers and a raise before a £12 raise so i repop to £30 to be meet by a guy going allin for £160 .Occasionally i can give credit for aces but very rarely so my chips are in quicker than linford christie.
Nice they hold up ,numpty rebuys even better.
Then 2 orbits later im on button again with 22 i call £10 raise flop comes q92 happy days again when mug punter pushes my raise all in for £100.
Play on till 530am when club shuts and one hand i played just goes to show standard of players im utg with black aces so i limp ,much to my dismay no raise flop comes a65 all hearts so i bet 2 callers turn 9clubs ,again i bet 2 callers river comes 10 hearts so now i think im beat with 2 callers with flush a straight out there but i dont want them to see ive limped with aces so i decide to bet £25 hoping to get reraised so i can muck my aces thus hiding my play.
Oh no i get 2 callers now ive got to show down my crafty play just as well neither had a heart or a straight and i scoop another 100quid(lol).
Wish i could have had these cards in tourney but never mind 400quid profit thanks very much.
Spare a thought for Chris Pratt who came and tried a cash game unfortunatley the numpty caught him by pushing allin with tens preflop to chris s aces and what a joke idiot catches a ten .

WITH DOUBLE POINTS CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK ALL THESE PLAYERS HAVE A CHANCE OF REACHING TOP4 AND DTD TRIP

Congratulations to our Poker Couple, Chris Pratt and Leanne Holesworth who came 1st and 2nd respectively.

Chris has been playing consistant poker for a number of weeks and his win was overdue, as was Leannes 2nd, who was the best performing lady in the whole venue of Dusk Till Dawn.

DUSK TILL DAWN: As some of you may be aware, Craig has qualified for the £50k tourney at DTD this Saturday, so I will be going over to give moral support and play in the £50 tourney.

Craig is staying overnight as his is a two day event, so we will have to take two cars.  If anyone fancies sharing a bit of petrol and coming over give me a ring.

Congratulations to Tom Wilson and Bruce Ewan – sharing the spoils like the gentlemen they are.

Also, well played Marcus – you are a mare to play against and I love your style.

Thanks John and Liam for a great venue and everyone who turned up.

Congratulations to Tom Wilson on another brilliant performance.  Tom has now won back to back in this league, as well as the last three runnings at the Bradley Inn. – absolutely fantastic and last 2 from Chip and a Chair.

Apart from Tom and Bruce (Out resident Pro) the other two places are up for grabs as Ryan Millson has opened the door for John Phillips, Mark Smith, Danny Mason and Matthew Payne to figut it out over the final two weeks.

Remember than Championship Wee 15th March will be DOUBLE POINTS, sollowed by a Freeroll and presentation on March 22nd.

Between Bruce and myself we managed not to make it through the Ladbrokes weekly final, despite good performances,  Bruce (_oldgit_) coming 5th and myself (eddy147) 3rd.

Frustrating to say the least with 10k in prize pool for top2, still always another week at poker as we all know.

Congratulations to our Bubble Boy Danny Mason on winning this week and taking top place in the league.
