I opted for GRCade Grinders.

OK, I'll give it another day to come up with a team name, and if there's no votes I'll pick at random.

Reg to B square. They say "your card is already in use", namely my grosvenor poker account that is locked. Emailed support. -_-

I've somehow found my self playing a $5 donkament at 4am in the morning. :fp:

~1400 players at the start, we are now down to 15 and I'm in 2nd...

$3.3k ~~if/~~when I win it.

Final Table! :mrgreen:

Finished 4th for $1400.

I raised with JJ and got called by the big blind who was really loose and calling almost all of the time. Board goes 8555 and we get it in on turn. He has AA.

Pretty decent cash though.

Very nice Sat, how many big cashes is that in the last few weeks?

All Sat does is win. I feel like I should stalk him on Stars and observe his ways and hope it rubs off on me. Congrats though man, another cash

Last month and a bit it has been 6 final tables with 3 wins, 4th, 4th, and 5th. Not actually put much volume in either, due to work I can only play about 2 days a week. So been quite a good month, considering.

This one was very straightforward. I had AA four times and won large pots with 3 of them, lost once vs AJ but he was a short stack so it didn't matter. Also won a couple of big pots with KK. I got a great start and was actually in the top 10 for most of the tournament. So it was just a case of using my big stack to bully the weak players and try to get lots of value when I did hit a hand.

Also, because it was a non-turbo 2R1A it was much deeper than I usually play. For the first 2 or 3 hrs I had about 500BB. 8-)

Edit: Actually, I think I will post a more detailed run through of the big hands in this tournament. Even though it was only a 4th place finish I fancy re-looking at how I played.
Massive post incoming...

Gaz in "final table shocker"

Finally got my account unlocked as they believe I 18+ now. However I forgot my pass and got it locked again. 8-)

I emailed them explaining this and that I tried to use the "forgot password" link but that gave an error too.

"There has been an error. Please report this error to Customer Services."

They're response was to use the "forgot password" link. :fp:

I WILL ENTER THIS TOURNAMENT.

I just spent ages writing out a detailed run through of all my big hands, but then I changed my mind and deleted it as it's really boring. :lol:

There were about 500 hands altogether. The first time my tournament life was at risk was hand 300 when a big stack shoved AQ and I called with AA.
Until the final table there weren't any massive pots that I lost either. I just stayed out of trouble and played my big hands strong. Easy. 8-)

Reg'd!!!

So funny on the phone to some woman. She's like so your username is sniffdonkey, is this correct?

I'm like YES LOL!

Are we all registered now?

Edit: Oh yeah, we need a decent team name!

Can I have a whopper?

Gaz and the Run Goods.

If the name doesn't have 'Whopper' in the title I'll be very dissappointed.

'Sniffdonkeys and the Phantom Whopper'
