Edit: Some DML banta from yesterday:

Is that your best cash DML? What was the previous best?

I've not got any more work until a week on Friday so I shall be playing a few micro millions during the week

Just seen a bizzare hand in which three people got it in pre with AK, two suited and one off. Other caller had AQ.

Did it end up as a 3 way split or...?

In the micromillions again tonight. Hopefully will run better than the ridiculous tournament the other day

Nah, one of them hit a flush.

No, the guy who wouldn't make a deal busted the very next hand and the final two (80m chips to 50m chips) made a deal.

Yeah its my best cash. My previous best was £963.00 so its basically just over double that.

An article about my event.

My Open Face Chinese Poker Android App is coming along nicely!
I've got the core game working in Python, and the core framework (menus and Android stuff) working in Android (it's cool having an actual program I made myself running on my phone!).
It's now just a matter or porting the python code to Java, which isn't as straight forward as I thought it would be. Still, shouldn't be long until I have the basic singleplayer game working with a weak CPU opponent. It's all placeholder graphics too, so I will have to work on that soon.

Someone has already released one in the last week or so, but it's got lots of bad reviews and they are charging over £4 for it.

I've no idea how I'm going to do multi-player though, but I do have my own server at work which I can use. I've got a long way to go before I worry about that though.

Pretty nice spot here



Edit:
And another! Easy game

I'm deep in MicroMillions 64

Still a long way to go as there's 180 people left from 10664.

Also it's a $3 freezeout so not mega money.

Do keep us updated. What are the prizes like up top (at work)?

It was $4.5k for 1st, but I'm out now in 102nd

Basically since there were ~1000 players left I had no hands and was doing well just to maintain my stack which I had built up from very early on. As we got deeper I still wasn't getting the hands and lots of agressive big stacks were joining the table so it's the usual story of being blinded down with no opportunities to bluff.

Eventually I have 11BB and I'm on the BTN with 79o. Someone in MP min-raises and the SB calls, I decide to call with the intention of shoving on certain flops that I think they've missed.
Flop is 257 all clubs (I have no clubs). SB min bets and my hand is actually looking like it might be good now. So with a 275k stack and 200k already in the pot I make the shove but MP calls, SB folds. He has QT clubs for the flopped flush.

Also at the same time in Micro Millions 66 - (10handed-shootout) I am heads up with a 2-1 chip lead after playing for about 2hrs. To get there I was basically just raising every hand and they were all folding their blinds to me, but the blinds were small so it was taking forever and was a really boring table. So I get HU with a big lead and then get it in with overpair vs a gutshot, but he runner runners a flush. A few hands later I shove with JJ and he calls with AT, but he hits the ace. All that work and I get nothing

Nice one Sat.

Got busted 200 short of the cash in a 14,000 entrants micromillions the other day

For those of you who don't follow the Pokerstars twitter account, Five Card Omaha is coming to Stars soon. We should have a small home game at some point to try it out imo. Courchevel is coming too which I wasn't familar with but is explained nicely in this video.

Although Im not very active on this thread, I love reading your stories guys.

The other day I too ventured in some Micromillions tourney.... Was playing well and soon after the break when everybody was in the money, I doubled up with Pocket Kings.... but then lost my entire stack over 50k in just one hand, I was chasing a straight and had a Pair of Queens and King Kicker... thought my opponent who was very active at the table was bluffing, so I kept calling and in the end I was left with just 7k so I called, he had a full house... <- to me!

In the end only got 8$ from a 3+.030 tourney after like 3 hours which I immediately lost by playing like gooseberry fool on $7 sng

The PartyPoker Premier League VI has been totally exceptional this year. Best TV poker since The Big Game.

Also - in another Micromillions with an absolute fish to my left. Hes already nearly stacked me once in an A-K vs A-K where he made a flush all in pre flop and took 15k of my 25k stack. I've been building it back to 19K since then, he just called a 21BB shove by myself with 7-9o when I had Jacks..

I've got a fish on my left in micromillions too. It's someone who I played before as there is a note dated November which says he's one of the worst players ever. He's already taken most of my stack now thanks to him hitting the nuts almost every time. I was at over 40k before I moved to his table now I'm down to 13k.
If he knew how to value bet then he'd have knocked me out already as every time I bluff him or think my hand is best, he happens to have the nuts but only calls rather than raising, even on the river!

Made a nice call in a different tourney:

And I'm out of the micromillions thanks to a different fish on my other side. I was short and committed myself with KT, my 4bet gets called by K5 and then he hits a 5.
