I was in the top 20 most of it till 40 left...... then took a beat vs a big stack, but ended up busting a bit later.  

Btn opened, a well known NJ pro and I'm in the bb w/ QQ and 13bb.  JAM time, but ran into KK.  

So far so good.  58th in the 1k event on Tuesday and last nights 33rd.  Really thought last night I had a chance. 

Lots of fun being at teh #1 feature table for a while.  Carlos Welch was at teh #2 table with a few pros.  

Back at it tonight and other good small buying the next 3-5 days.  

I actually ended up getting interviewed, which was a surreal experience, so you can see the prize structure etc here -https://www.pokerstars.uk/en/news/online-qualifier-joss-murdoch-on-the-platinum-pass-experience-its-a-fun-puzzle/57520/?campaign=NOT_part_of_a_campaign&secondo=Not_a_product

I'll report back on how it goes, and if I don't get a chance I'll post the VOD afterwards so people can give me some tips on my play. 

Dara O'Kearney released a book about them in March, and it's quite well-reviewed so I'd recommend checking that out. Anything that gets Collin Moshman's seal of approval is bound to be a great resource for SNGs and satellites.

Speaking of Moshman, his wife Katey Dozier and he recently did an AMA on Cardschat. I've only read through the first page but there seems to be some great advice about SNG and (to a lesser extent) satellite strategy.

Wishing you great success in the SNG!

My takeaway from this is to study the hell out of 4/3 handed spots which I'm least familiar with, and also try and play for the win as much as possible as first is probably worth £25k at a conservative estimate, plus upside of live experience!

The sit and go itself is at Aspers on Saturday afternoon, my wife's heading down with me but aside from that it'll be a small rail so feel free to drop in and say hi. Fingers crossed we'll have cause to celebrate! 

You can set it up to play for winner take all or whatever the structure of your game will be.

Download a good push fold app for your phone. Icmizer does a good one (paid) Preflop+ is free but with upgrades. 

Maybe not enough time to learn it all so maybe a few decent push charts wouldn't go amiss.

Can probably do more than virtual rail as its on my patch. Assume its the Hippodrome so can drop in to celebrate 

I'll be playing in a sit and go with £16k in prize money, but the winner of this will receive a platinum pass to Barcelona next year! Obviously there's still a huge chance I don't get there but it honestly feels dreamlike to even be this close. 

My question for all of you, what's the best preperation? I'm watching Andrew Brokos' Main Event run, as this should give me some help with live decisions. I'm going to download HRC once I've got the payouts and play around with some spots to make sure my ICM is on point, and I'm getting Modern Poker Theory on Andrew's advice (Thank you Andrew!). What else should I do to get myself in the best possible shape? 

Also if anyone wants to rail along it will be streamed on Twitch so I'll post the link up 🙂 

First hand of note villain 1 shoved for 2M, we iso with AA69ds and SB somehow finds a flat with A38Kss, flop is the best we can get 3 way with QQ10 rainbow and things are looking good but turn is a J and we lose a big pot.

Second hand I played pretty poorly opening HJ or something with A36Kss and calling a 22BB rejam from the button, I was still somewhat tilted that I lost the previous pot a few minutes earlier and I guess lategame pressure can get to me after all, anyway he showed down AKQ2ds and scooped us

Last hand we ended up squeezing 22BB from the BB vs a button open and SB flat with KK108ss, button reisod with A976ds and the ace binked off on the river.

I finished 19th/4923 for 60 dollars and left disappointed that I left a lot of money on the table (3500 up top). I can't help but to feel that I got pretty unlucky the first hand and then the other two it was quite unfortunate for me to be up against the exact combos the had even tho I don't agree with my second call to the rejam, oh well, I'll try to get them next time

Coming in with 7 million for day 2, lets take this one down and start the year right tomorrow. 3.5k up top. 4,9k runner and 23 remaining

Took It down Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
