Recent Goings On

Not played much pokes lately to be honest, as the numb nuts at BT and Sky have fcuked up my internet connection and it would take 20 days to reset everything back up and with us moving in 10 days theres not much point,

I have had some winning sessions though found an interent cafe by us and played for a couple of hours over two days and ended up +£300 which aint too bad for 4 hours work.

Played abit of live pokes last night, finished 5th in a £20 sngay out of 14 runners took a gamble with my 99 vs AJ all in pre and he spikes runner runner straight on river to half my chips i then slam with JQ suited and double up off someone else, and attempt a steal with K10 suited but called by guy who knocked me down first time, i manage to spike K on the flop but his A10 holds as he hits his A 3 outer on the river. One other hand i have to mention as this guy was going on and on and on about it all night, i have A6ss on BB and its checked to me i raise it up x3 bb get two callers, flop comes Qs 9s 6c i check hoping to check raise him but he checks behind me, turn 2s i bet half the pot he calls, river is 10h he slams with Ks Jh for the straight i insta call with the flush and hes like how can you bet out with the nuts on turn, and wouldnt shut up about it alllll night!

So moved over to the £40 cash game, quickly moved upto around £60 after a guy pushes my £3.50 raise for £10 total with KQ vs my AQ then i proceed to hit 2 sets straights a plenty and everything going, then the defining hand i get JJ in mid pos, its raised early to £6 with two callers i re raise £20 raiser calls as does first caller, flop comes 9 10 2 raiser bets £10 caller folds and i shove for rest he calls and flips KK turn is a magical J bomb and i take down a nice £100+ pot, then to the very last hand of the night, i have A4hh flop comes Ad 2h 9h i check he bets £10 i decide to see a turn and call, turn 9c i check again he must have a low Ace so we are splitting at worst here, he pushes for last £15 i insta call and he shows A7o/s and river is magical 5h get in another nice hand.

Not a bad nights work +£140,

Anyways might not get much poker in over the next couple of weeks as we are in the process of moving back over the right side of the penines, so laters all and best of luck at the tarbs

Its Been a while....

It seems ages since i last posted on here so thought id better check in with anyone that reads this if there are any of you left.

Been playing mainly PLO and having a good time of it been using a new site which seems like free money to me, people play so bad at PLO, had a couple of nice winning days this month 3 days running cashed for over £200+ a night profit, then had the smart idea of taking a shot at higher limits.

Usually play 25c 50c, 50c $1 and $1 $2 but yesterday decided to give $2.50 $5 a go and see what happens, well it was eventful to say the least, lost $200 pretty quickly then decided to re deposit and try again, quickly doubled up getting it on the flop with oppo drawing dead whcih is always nice!

Then this.. i was quite safe with the flop and when the turn comes down im golden, all the money goes in and i think im on for the biggest pot of my life, see for yourselves.

Changes....

I dont know where to start really, Since my last post there have been a few changes to say the least.

Finally stopped being a bum and got myself a job, funny thing is its more money for less hours than it was at my old place, always a bonus in my opinion!. Another change is still in the pipeline but hopefully will happen at the end of August now.

But the major change is in the poker i havent fancied playing much NL Holdem instead i thought i would try some PLO instead and here are a few interesting hands for you to look at.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2852689

In this one i flop top set but am cautious of the flush draw, but when no one bets the flop and it gets back to me on the turn with still no flush draw i figure i have to bet, and when he re raises its either a smaller set or flush draw so i take the gamble and im happy to see his hand.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2852704

This one was a little more tricky i flop the boat but still unsure as to what im up against, i figure quite quickly when he only calls my raise that he has the set only and no boat himself so stick em in and luckily he doesnt fill up.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2852736

This is another nice hand abit of a dodgy call pre flop by me but i know full well the guy is tilting after losing the majority of his stack the hand before and leaving himself with $30, i quickly work out im infront on the turn and dont want to let him suck out on the river so make him pay big and its pays off for me

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2852761

I like this hand from the day before, i think maybe my raise scares off the other guy in the pot but i figure if he calls 10 he will call 20 shame but luckily the other guy slams em for me and hes drawing dead which is always nice!

Also im still waiting to hear back from Platonic the little girl who i have challanged to a game at any stakes at any time but he seems to be ducking me i wonder why that is.....? Scared me thinks!

Anyways always nice to turn $80 to $500 shame every day aint like this huh?

Check Your Old Accounts

Ive heard plenty of people " finding " money they had forgot was there, but it had never happend to me.



Well anyways i re activated my Betfair account and found $20 there not too sure where it had come from but decided to give it a go, and just slammed the whole lot on a 25c 50c 6 seater cash game.



Had a few interesting hands see what you think here.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2752301 not really sure about my play here but i couldnt work out what hand he could have that would be strong enough to re raise me pre and also contain an 8 and if he did have an 8 or flopped the full house why he would bet so much on the flop, my only true worries were KK and AA and was relieved when he didnt show either!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2752307 This is against the same guy not two mins later i think its actually his first hand after rebuying his chips from the first time, on major tilt by the looks of this pre flop call but always nice when they dont suck out!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2752316 This one mega confused me, i couldnt work out what the hell he had with the two flat calls, it surely had to be a monster ie KK or K9 or a busted floosh draw i dont like the way he flat calls every bet i make, but when he doesnt raise any street that rules out KK because i know he aint that good, K9 is possible but again i dont think hes good enough to slow play to this extent, when he bets on the river i have to call and im glad i dont re shove just a suckout i guess, wp donk!

Anyways good luck all and i will see you all after i return from my holiday to Agia Napa with the lads on Sunday, Remember check your old accounts it pays to!

All Change Please....

Sorry for the lack of updates all but just been mega busy at the mo, so much going on and so much about to happen i hope!

First thing to happen was i finally left work, i had to do it before i went mad to be honest. There are some top lads and lasses there you know who you are, but then there are some who i wouldnt give the steam off my pi$$ to, i guess its much the same as anywhere but on the whole top bunch of people

Just figures that things wouldnt run as smoothly as id hoped, was meant to start a job on Monday but it now seems that aint gonna start til i come back from the stag do in Agia Napa next week. So all being well i will have a new job to come back to.

Also some of you may or not know but me and the missus are looking at moving back over to Yorkshire, hopefully that all goes through in a couple of months moving back home for the time being and then from there who knows.

And to top it off my grandad was rushed into hospital last week having taken a fall outside and smashing his face up quite bad, so returned home to see him, first words from him typical grandad " what you bought me flowers for im not dead yet you know!" "thy buys women flowers lad not blokes, when i die thy can buy me all the flowers tha wants you daft bugger"

So with it being a poker blog i suppose i best talk about some pokes....

Well played abit when i went home fired up abit of PLO 50c $1 and the standard was awful turned $20 into $200 two days in row and in the process ran my £30 into £300, Also went to Rileys for the King of Clubs tourney £10 freeze out blinds started to bite so slammed with KQ sutied and was called by 6 7 o/s flop comes 6 7 8 turn gives me the floosh draw but miss on river and im out, headed over to the cash tables and turned £20 into £70 in no time.

Came back home and from running like god i ran like crap and dropped about £150 from the £300 so cashed out the £150, i will see if i can dig a few HH`s out later on, it was mainly me running like a donkey as far as i can remember playing poor hands and playing too high i think.

Just fired up a game today see how i get on from there hopefully win myself some spending money for my holiday!

Laters all and gl at the tables.

Slowly Slowly Catchy Monkey

Not really sure if anyone is still checking this out or if you have all deserted me after I said i was taking a break from the game. Ive decided to ease myself slowly back into poker after taking the break

Well abits happend since then, I left poker alone for two weeks before having a game on a new site to see how it was and the standard was poor to say the least, made a nice tidy profit only for me to stupidly lose it all the next night.

Next up was the APAT event in Manchester, and again to be honest the standard was dire.

3k starting chips and 30min blinds didnt really hit many hands early on until the last hand before the first break had QQ on the BB and raised x3 bb guy calls in mid pos flop brings Q 10 7 i check hoping to induce a bluff but he checks behind me, Bugger!. Turn brings the 10 and i give it the hollywood like its just busted my hand, I again check this time he bites, and puts 800 into a 1600 pot i decide to slow play making it look like im weak, turn brings another 7 i bet 1500 and slams i insta call for a nice 9k or so pot.

Then after the break the hands were rolling in, only problem was they werent standing up, firstly i get K9 in BB on board of 996 for a large chunk of my chips he plays 78 soooooo badly on the river there are 4 diams obv he hits his str8 but doesnt figure for the 4 card flush on the board rivers checked down and i ask does he have a diamond to which i get a no just the str8 wp donk!

Next up AQ vs shorties push with 1010 and i dont improve. I then get AK two hands running dccide against slow play and open shove the first time the bb tanks and folds saying he much A10. Very next hand AK again couple of callers same play all in they surely couldnt figure me for the same hand again but no callers either. Then get AQ against another semi shorties JJ and again dont improve. Then final hand i make a play vs first position caller he flips over KK and thats me done.

So to the cash game sat with £65 and to say the standard was way bad was an understatement, atleast 4 of the guys had seen every flop after the first hour or so. Some decent pots i decided to gamble early on and got all my money in pre flop with AKc vs 88 first card out lovely K and i have a nice stack of around £120

Later on i make what i believe to be a good laydown only for it to backfire on a £120 pot, see what you all think...

I get KK raise the re straddle up to £12 playing 1 and 1 NL get 4 callers flop brings A A 5 i bet £20 at the flop to which i get two callers turn brings J i fear im behind to a rag A so check guy shoves other guy calls and its back to me to which i fold, they then flip over KJ and 99 unreal river brings other A

I did manage to get some back later on though with a slow played top set vs a donk with nothign trying to bluff. The standard at this game was awful it really was. But good day had by all except i suspect Tom who lost a ton, quick mention to Mike though who made a top laydown again with KK on board of J 10 2 he bets £25 at the flop is raised to £75 and two others ship for £25 each they show hands of J10 vs 89 vs AQ turn brings Q river brings J, and they call with these hands even though he raised to £10 pre flop.

Played some hands online last night and managed to run super hot having JJ 4 times and 3 / 4 time flopping a set and getting paid each time other time i was all in on the flop on a 7 high board vs AK managed to come off with a final balance of $708, so not a bad nights work if only every night was like this eh?

They Think its All Over.....It Is For Now

Yup thats right folks decided to call it a day, A few reasons really, but the main one is the time its taking up i could and should be doing other things with my life but not.

That and i just dont have the correct BRM to play like i want to at the minute.

So gonna take some time out couple of months or so and see where we go from there, get some cash together and come back bigger and better than before.

Thats the plan anyways

Catch you all later!
