My OPL Season 02 Blog - Going FTW

Posted 8 years ago

Yo guys

So last time I was just to lazy to blog my personal progress but figured this time it would be different. This season of the OPL has been announce and already kicked off. New rooms have been introduced which means more money is up for grabs.

If you do not know what the OPL is it is the Online Poker League - Around 80 events over the next 2 months, free to enter and over $25,000 added! You can view the site Here.

Recap of my season 01

People who watched the stream will have seen me getting pretty frustrated with the season as I just ran soooo bad in some key spots. I was lucky enough to final around 8 events out of the 45 or so I played and walked away with over $1,000 in leader board cashes and prizes. I won 2 tournaments which was a Unibet GoPro added and a Bet365 iwatch added. I took the cash equivalent for both!

So anyways onto Season 2

The plan? Go hard and win it allllllllll. I feel I left around $2500 worth of value on the table in season 1 and although there were somethings out of my control I still could have played better in some spots and played a few more events.

Results so far

Event 1: Party.Bwin $500 cash added. Sadly the entire Party servers crashed 40 minutes into this so it is currently marked as 'unsettled'. I will report back on what this means. So for now will count this as 0 points.

Event 2: WilliamHill $100 cash added. a 6th place finish losing JJ v AQ for the chip lead. Netting me 45 points.

Event 3: ACR $250 cash added. This year it is more US friendly and started at like midnight my time so I did not play this event. 0 points.

Tonight is a double bill with Tiger and BetOnline. Due to regulations I cannot play in the BO tournament but will be in the Tiger comp ready to crush. GRRRRRRRRRRR

So I donked around last night after getting pretty short pretty quick. Busting out 30th ish out of 35 ish entries. I found myself with 99 in a bit pot on a 772 flop and just went with it due to SPR.

Points: 1

Total points: 46

Ah the OPL god damn you and the heart ache you give me haha. For some reason i get so annoyed when i don't win an OPL tourni which is insane thinking but it does bother me. I just know how sick the value is and i guess i am competitive which i have always said that im not. Basically it is the first time i have competed in poker in the sense of same group of players going for one prize. So i guess its bringing that side out of me.

SJ last night - I played perfect poker and could not have played better. I got away with murder, got my chips in with nutted hands and played a short stack well for as long as i could. I also got max value in some spots most would not have got any from (patting my own back).

Anyways i came 10th after 3bet jamming A6os for 14BBs vs an aggro BTN opener 5 handed. He showed up with AQ sadly and i bricked.

Points: 25

Total points 71

Tonight i will be grinding the Unibet €100 added. Fingers crossed i comeback with a win!

The frustration continues after last nights Unibet tournament. Was doing fine then it all just went tits up again and finished for another 1 point finish.

The games are a bit odd as there are a ton of recreationals so tons of limping, random play and weird bet sizing to deal with. This is why it gets me mad as i should always be able to crush these fields. There are also some good players and we have deffs created some fun dynamics. I guess the best thing to compare this to is like pub poker.

Anyways we have a double bill tonight with $50 cash added on Ladbrokes and a PS4 up for grabs on BetVictor. Both start in about an hour so time to get pumped up and do some damage!

Well done and congrats on your victory. This league looks like so much fun!! Wen does the next season start? Is it once per year or how often?

Looks like a pretty crazy over value for 5 euro buyins.

Ran soooooo bad last night on both final tables and ended with 2 * 5th place finishes. Funny as only top 3 paid on both of these.

50 points from both = 100 total

Total points - 386
