Hey Freezey, yep still check these forums occasionally..
I haven't been to the Cardiff game for a couple of weeks due to playing in the Bristol tournament instead (£20 PL at Triangle Casino in Bristol).
I didn't do too well the last time I played in Cardiff and finished about 40ish out of 60 in Bristol last week - one of my worst ever results, and a fairly expensive night too (£20 buy in, 3 rebuys, 1 top up = £100).. I then proceeded to tilt like crazy in a ring game that was organised afterwards and lost another £100.. Ouch!
I agree with you about the atmosphere of playing in a live game.. It's a lot more fun, and the 4 or 5 hours or so spent playing seems to pass a lot quicker than the equivalent time spent playing online.
I've checked your
www.freezey.com site out, and have seen your photo now, so will be sure to say 'hello' if you are at the Cardiff tournament the same time I am (if I go again)..
But, at the moment, I slightly prefer the Bristol game, even though some of the entrants do seem to take it a little *too* seriously!
That's probably due to the stakes and prizes involved though... Last week places 2 > 5 got £500 each (after agreeing a deal to split the cash), the winner got £750 or so.. Unfortunately I wasn't one of the winners, but my mate James finished in joint 2nd
Admin / Mods: Any chance I can change my name from MonkeyMagic to Mango (as that is the name I use whilst playing online!)..

I picked up some good hands early on, but couldn’t get any action. So much so that I started to steal blinds and advertise my bluffs.
In the end I was taken out along with 3 others by a high stacked player who called our all-in’s with just pocket 5’s and made a flush (after 2 of the players had over paired him).
Funniest hand of the night was on the table next to mine. One player all-in preflop, one caller.

The cards were dealt very slooooowly and almost like a good rally in tennis the jubilation went back and forth between players. Playing on-line has it’s advantages but you do miss out on the atmosphere you get from playing in a casino face to face. |
