WBCOOP event #1. Live updates.

With two hours to go, the countdown has begun. Watch this space for live updates. All time stamps will be local (GMT) rather than the pokerstars clock.

00:03 And i'm bust. Shove CO with 14BBs with KT. BB calls with AT and holds. GG.

23:55 3.8k. Break time. Bad timing, I just want to double or bust.

23:51 4.3k blinds 125/250. Not enough to open raise, but i'm too impatient to wait for spots to reship.

23:50 4750, 99 beats KQ all in pre. Time to yo-yo

23:48 2k. KT loses against KQ on TxxK board. Sigh

23:47 Down to 20BBs. Gonna play aggro to get a stack back

23:45 Down to 5k. Made an aggro 3-bet with KJ against a medium stack and had to call their shove. They had aces obv.

23:41 9.2k again, A7 busts KT :)

23:40 7.3k. 3 limpers, I raise to like 1.3k in BB with 88. First limper min reraises "£^%^&^$. I call and miss my set on a bad looking KQx flop.

23:35 Back up to 9.5k. Probably playing too many hands. Oh well.

23:31 Down to 9k. Paid off a straight when I had top pair when the flush draw missed.

23:30 T3 fish just busted. :(

23:27 3 bet button with AQ. Back up to 12.3k.

23:25 Played a hand bad. 11.6k

23:20 12.8k. Think I cost myself some chips

23:14 12k. Played a couple of insignificant pots. Gonna see if watching How I Met Your Mother alleviates my boredom.

23:10 Up to 12.5k. Sucked out pretty good on the fish on my direct right, but that should serve as punishment to him for playing 85s OOP in a 3-bet pot.

23:07 Flopped a set. 6.5k.

23:05 Break is over and i'm still bored. Sigh.

22:58 Just looked at EPT Deauville results. Elky got deep in a tournament and didn't close? Madness. Bored of this break now.

22:55 5.5k at break. Raised 88 and checked down on scary board. "fish" found a call preflop with T3 suited. Thanks for the chips.

22:52 5k. Made a flush in limped pot. Limper paid me off with AK, no pair no hand. Good limp with AK. Same guy who min 3 bet my UTG raise. Now labelled as a "fish".

22:51 4 people sitting out on my table now. And by the looks of things it's going to be a while until those dead stacks get blinded out. Glad shaniac is one of them

22:50 5 mins without playing a hand. Getting bored again now.

22:45 Wow, that was a weird hand. Raised AK utg, button min 3 bet, I call. Flop 732 again, check check. Turn 7, check check. River 8. He doesn't have a pair, so i make a 1/7th pot v-bet/block bet, and he folds. Maybe a misclick pre? 4.5k

22:42 Up to 4k. Made another floaty bluff. Raised a limper with K9. Flop 732, they donked I called. Turn J, they bet the same amount, I call. River Ace, they bet the same amount, which is like 1/7th pot or something, I raise and they fold. Easy.

22:41 Up to 3k. Took a bite out of the fish on my right with AK.

22:38 It's the sort of bluff I try in small stakes tournaments and get snapped by Q2 or something and feel really stupid.

22:36 2140, risked all my chips on a bluff. Raised HJ with A8o, BB called. Flop Qxx, BB donks, I float. Turn K, BB checks, I bet BB calls. River a T, BB bets 1/10th pot, I shove, BB folds. Easy.

22:33 Nearly got to play a hand there. Nearly. Damn poker is boring.

22:31 Guy on my right is pretty bad and is getting a lot of chips. Hopefully i'll be able to feed on that stack.

22:28 Getting grumpy now. Maybe i'll just go to bed. Need to wake up early tomorrow anyway. These thoughts are not conducive to tournament success.

22:25 Bored of single tabling now.

22:22 Back up to 1.8k in the WBCOOP. 89 beat A6 :)

22:21 Out of the $8.80. Damn my luck. TPTK against set.

22:20 Blog playing up. watch this space

22:13 down to 1345, 88 no good vs A3 on K32. Sigh

22:11 Brilliant, 1700 entrants works out at ~$3 equity each. Good chance I won't bother with any of the other WBCOOP prelims at this rate. Sorry Pokerstars

22:10 Up to 4.2k in the $8.80. Made a thin river value bet with A8 on AxxKQddd and got paid. Always nice.

22:08 Down to 2125. Had KQ and whiffed.

22:07 Up to 2225. Flopped top pair, but board ran out bad so couldn't get value.

22:05 Other open shover just got knocked out. No easy chips for me :(

22:04 Shaniac just got moved to my table, but he's sitting out. Hopefully Mr Schleger will stay that way.

22:02 And he's out, but someone else has started shoving. Hopefully i'll win those chips.

22:01 Guy at my table just open shoved. that's a good sign.

21:59 Seating is done. Don't recognise anyone at my table, and only 3 sitting out.

21:50 Ok, let's try again with this $8.80. 10 minutes until WBCOOP starts. 1700 entrants? How can there be that many active poker bloggers? And who reads all these blogs?

21:44 And lost a flip and i'm busto. sigh

21:43 Played bad, down to 4.5k in the $11. sigh

21:26 Maybe tonight I will run good, just doubled up in the $11, TT>AQ. Nice to win a flip!

21:20 Loaded up an $11 tournament while I play WBCOOP #1, because i am a notoriously bad single tabler. Probably be busto before WBCOOP even starts though, cos i run bad in MTTs atm.
