They think its all over,it is now!

3 quick stt's last night,won 2,ballsed up the other! i did however register for the laddies Player Point freeroll tourney that started at 9.30. had a fag after the stt's,got another pint of... and prepared to take this baby down!! 743 other people also had the same idea so this could be tricky i thought.I always start ultra cautious but in hand 3 (yes 3) i get AK suited late,matey before me raises to 120 so i call hoping for a good flop,sure enough the flops K high,yeeehaaaa! matey slaps a 200 bet in which i suspect is a c bet so i raise him double,he then shoves the lot in,now whats the chances of;
1.. he's got AA
2.. i call
ans..good and good!! And that was that,not sure i was first out but i must be fairly close to 1st!! not to worry,ive still got enough PP's for another go soon,maybe i'l bust out 4th hand for some improvement!!! gl all laterz.

Nurse,Doctor....Heeeeeeeeeeelp!

Week off work now so i thought i'd slip a couple of games in this afternoon,1st one a stt,i finished in top 5 for a stella $10!! looking at the tourney schedule i registered for a $5 mtt,78 runners,gtd $300. 2nd hand i land JJ so thought a swift re raise should help....Except i couldnt as it was a poxy Fixed Limit game!! O no,ive hardly got half a scooby playing NL let alone fixed!! so i bet the piddly amount and 5 people called! was i pleased to see a KJ7 flop!! the player before me raised so i just reraised him all i could on every bet and scooped large style!! a few more lucky hands and before i know it i'm 6 0f 69!!! level 4 and by some miracle i'm up to 3rd!! this didnt last of course,i had to tighten as i realised most people hang around like a dogs fart until the river and hope to catch!! i'm used to being a bit aggro with the right cards (and with the wrong ones!!) so FL is a bit alien to me,i eventually run top pair top kicker far too hard and matey does me with a set at showdown,that cripples me and i exit in 40th. o well.NL in a while!! gl all laterz

Not a happy Chappy!!

Before i start moaning it was possibly my fault tonight for watching the rugby and playing at the same time! But that doesnt help when my AA gets crushed or i go all in well ahead but lose to shitty hands!! i even played 3 HU matches just to break things up...and yes lost all 3,1 on a dodgy play but 2 were when i was ahead,we all know shit happens and ive got lucky a few times,but its fucking irritating when you've tried hard to build up and it goes in 2 nights!! 5 weeks of trying to get better and improve my skills/discipline goes Pete Tong in 2 nights,so thats it,i'm slightly down overall so i'm quitting poker for ever..............well,till monday night!! Seri0usly,its a right arsehole of a game sometimes,ive just got to tighten up a bit for a while and get my bank up,i just hope i can. gl all laterz

I'm a laydeee dont you know!!

1st the bad news! i lost the $30 i won last night,$20 went when i was on the bubble,the blinds were sky high,i raised aipf but my A9 could not beat 1010! a $5 stt went west purely because of my bad play! My 1st game was a deep stack 5000 chip $5 stt,i was going very well,level 3 and i'm 4th with 7.5k. this was due to me getting JJ and finding someone who called 3 big bets of mine with zilch,the pot was 3500,i even bet only 350 on the river to get a raise but he mucked! a 10 to 1 bet and he mucked,very strange!! he got his own back when i shoved all in with top pair only for him to out kick me,i was out soon after that! So i wasnt best pleased but roll on tomorrow! the good news was the chat on the deep stack game,1 of the players was very busy berating a few other players and justifying it by saying he only wanted a laugh. He then asked if there was any girls on the table,so i said yes, me (this would come as a bit of a suprise to my wife,3 kids & the chaps at work!!) From then on he was as nice as pie,until someone outdrew me and he let rip at them!! every time i won a hand he put 'well played babes' with a few x's!! i'm sure he mucked a few hands to me (which was sweet of him!!!) he asked if i minded being chatted up on line,of course i said no! he was very sad when i busted out,'ul,gd nite babes etc!!'
mind you,i'm taking the piss but he probably went on to win,i didnt hang around in case he wanted some pictures!!( of my 6"2' 15 stone body,now that would have shocked him!!) Very childish i know but i thought it was funny! hope he doesnt read this fucking blog!! gl all laterz.

Dirty 30!

Well it seems like i'm on a mini-stake mini hot streak!! played 1x $10 & 1x $20 stt last night & finished top 5 in both (pays top 5 2x buy in) The $20 game was actually the easier 1,got a few hands early that got paid off so i had a cushion and didnt have to risk shoving with fa as the blinds got dizzy! With the blinds at 200/400 the last 2 players to go had only about 1k each so they had no choice and got picked off!! The $10 game wasnt quite so easy!! Like a retard and forgetting all my ideas of discipline i tried a huge bluff that went badly wrong-AGAIN! Its only the 1st level and i get 78 suited in late position,i raise to 120 and 2 people call,the flop misses me by about 3 years!! its checked to me so i fire a c/bet of 240!! 1 goes but the other 1 calls! the flop was 510K rainbow by the way.If he had paired his K i reckon he'd raise so bollox to him,i whack 600 in,that will show him!! except he goes all in! far too late i realise ive played like a moron who has only got 500ish left,i cant beat bugger all so i fold and type 'nh' and he shows me 88!!! so with only a small stack the outlook is bleak tbh but with some tight play i some how win a few pots (AIPF with AK and 99 helps) and eventually squeeze through to the last 5! I didnt deserve it & 'honest guvnor',i wont try that cunning stunt again.....well not for a while!! Bank now at $277, gl all laterz

Dead to the Reds!

What a bunch of tossers!! dont blame the pitch,injuries,time adjustment or any other bs,just put that shirt on and have some pride!! right,rant over!!
Back to a mini win last night,$20 stt and i manage to make all the right moves for once!! tight early on,level 5 and i'm sitting pretty, above average and only 2 to knock out before its $40 to the remaining 5. i get AhQc and the flop comes JQ7,all diamonds,matey's only got 850 left and shoves,i hope hes on the draw so with some trepidation i call,lose & i'm shortish,win & i'm laughing,he has Ad5c! laddies do me a favour & he blanks so i scoop! No messing about know as i take out the last player with 44 that holds to his QJ all in,i ty,$40 to me! While i'm doing this i'm also in a $5 30 player sng (god,i'm the multi table king!!) this goes ok till i pair my J with not much action,try to take it there and the c/l calls my huge overbet with K high! this time laddies shaft me by putting a K on the river so i'm out in about 20th.o well (sh)it happens!! i would love to play more multi player sng's but laddies hardly have enough small stake action (should i jump ship back to Stars etc,all comments welcome!) Just to get that $5 buy in back i sail through a $5 stt with no bother! BR on just under $250. gl all laterz!

Give me carrots & sugar cubes!!

When you play like a donkey you deserve to lose and there's no excuses!! I played 2 micro stake stt's last nite,the 1st $5 i ballsed up by completely over playing 44!! you know how it is,raise pre flop,the flop has an A so i bet heavy to represent it only to find out Mr call station's got the ace and calls for a large part of my stack!! This is quite late on and the blinds are huge (200/400) so i have to shove with QJ that gets done by K5.Totally my fault for not being patient!! Next game was even sadder play by me, i flop A10 suited in the BB,its limped to me so i raise to 150 (only level 1 so 10/20) folded round to c/o who re raises to 500! i consider he's having a chuckle so push the lot in (about 1250),he calls with AJ. Oooooooo fooooooook!! its only a $2 game but thats not the point,i played like a donkey!! England v Ruskies later so may not play till tomorrow. gl all laterz
