Hello All,

A quick reminder of the qualification criteria:

    All players, regardless of their Players Club Level, must have earned at least 50 Player Points during the promotional period (April 1st - May 31st)  to earn one 6-Shooter ticket - there is no players club advancement criteria on the first ticket earned.

Use your Shooter Tickets to play in any of the six 'Shooter' tournaments taking place over six consecutive days starting on June 6th, with each tournament's 1st and 2nd placed player winning a $5,700 WSOP Side Event package.
     
N.B. Package winners will be automatically credited with their $1,500 Travel Expenses upon completion of the tournament, and a member of our PokerEvents team will be in touch within 72 hours of you winning your package.

Best of luck and we hope to see you in Vegas!

Dont want to dump it on a caSh table as they will probably ban us both.

Yr share is just over £457.

Just started a new job with Barclays and already got a weeks holiday in for next month. Cant see me getting more time off, so will probably just take the cash alternative, which I think is 65% of $5,200.

Its tough when yr a low stakes stt player playing a few hands on the bubble of these making decisions that are basically worth over $5k. Gives you some perspective into how ballsy these nosebleed stakes players are.

Back to the drawing board.
Report Ovalman. June 11, 2011 12:11 PM BST
I seen you force show a stone cold bluff a few hands before your exit, we all do it but the bluff was appalling. I think you lost the respect of your opponents after that. In saying that, the guy you had position over was pretty loose to your raises and imo should have been the bubble player. Don't think there was anything wrong with your exit shove or your opponents call from what I remember (I had a few beer in me)

It fairly gives you the confidence knowing you can beat any stakes. It's just having the balls to get the bankroll to move up there. I'm like you Chip, a low stakes player who plays with confidence in my comfort zone but I know from experience that there is nothing special about higher stakes - there are bad players with money at every level.

Very Very well played in these and unlucky not to cash in last nights game.
Report chipfire227 June 11, 2011 6:07 PM BST
In the 6 seaters you are pretty much forced to play loads of hands, especially with only 2 prizes and hundreds of runners, and if you want to get into a strong position then you have to bluff a lot, especially when you are card dead.

The guy I ended up pretty much heads up with went into the final table with a massive chip lead ( think he had nearly 400k and third highest was 120k )but just seemed to want to play every pot. I was hoping at some point once he got down to 180k the new chip leader would re-raise him and slow him down, but when there was no sign of that happening i knew i would have to take a chance. Ideally against a loose aggressive player you are looking to trap, but with blinds 5000/10000 and antes 1000 its costing you 18k every  rotation you sit out and wait for a hand to trap with.

Looking at the hand histories when we initially went 3 handed i was on 104k, the guy second was on 264k, and the chip leader on 458k and blinds were 4000/8000 so probably was a bit hard on myself. Theres one hand i got horribly wrong, initial bet sizing was wrong and this led to a pretty horrible bet on the flop, but the rest looks pretty standard. Needed a monster at the right time and didnt get it.
Report Ovalman. June 11, 2011 6:18 PM BST
I think you played it very well Chip, nothing wrong with the bluff, just that it went to a showdown.

I didn't follow the whole 3 handed but the guy to your right (you had position over him) was the weakest of the 3 (was he the big stack?) and in most circumstances he would be the bubble boy.
