Well last night was a bit of a none event.. played a bit online and managed to slide away a buy in on .25/.50 so $50 down.. one had really.. thought i was ahead but even if i wasn't i had outs i figured... heres the hand.. i don't think i played it that badly i'd already made the decision i was check calling on the turn so the push just looked weak, Nice hand sir.. well played !

Why is it when i can have a lay in bed on a Saturday morning I still wake up at 6am !!

Prolly going to be DTD cause the drive to blackpool on your own is a bitch !!

Oh what a night
But it wasn't late December 1963 !!
After the move by mansion to ipoker i've moved my badbeat account to Betfair.. Thanks to Laura and Sandy for making this soo painless and quick.
BUT ! ahh the software is so different to what i'm used to so another learning curve for me, Andy's going to give me a hand and also drop me his fish farm notes ( cheers pal !)
So i play a couple of hands to test the software and anyone know what the guy called with pre flop ?
http://www.badbeat.com:8080/static/gameReplay.swf?gameID=418603815
hands are all loading nice into pokermon but theres another little feature that i've not been used too thats quite handy.. when it gets to a showdown and the player mucks his cards a little box appears in the bottom corner showing me his mucked hand.. now i know you can get this info from the hand history but come on how many of us do this when we are playing 4 tables.
so it's about 6:45 and i head off to pick nigel up to play cash at Owlerton. Now let me warn you.. Owlertons thursday cash game is a little "active" to say the least.. full of gamblers not poker players. The £5 to £20 blind call is more often than not and it's not un-normal to have a pre flop pot of £100+ ! the gamblers were in full force so i tend to sit with £20 and i know if i get my money in good and hold up i'm going to be walking away with £100+ from one pot. i manage to get QQ in late position and quadruple up. Sitting TAG again i pass pass pass to he gamblers until the last pot of the night.. i'm sat with £90. theres a pre flop blind bet of £5 and there are 6 callers. i look down and see AA so i know a bet of £20 is put in the pot.. and everyone calls either all in .. to cut a story short i see my Aces cracked by Q 9 for a post flop re raise of £55 !
sick sick players but you got to love them and give them a bit back over time.. makes them stay and feel a bit better !
Friday tonight and i've no idea what i'm doing tonight.. Open to offers.. call me you have my number
Good luck at the tables guys ..

Wed 25th
Well what a night.... i don't think i've laughed soo much at one persons play.. now normally i wouldn't do this but this guy deserved everything he got..
To listen to him he was the worst tourny player in the world.. " i don't like playing tournys " was one of the off the cuff comments to which i replied " so why do you play them then !"
He was making the most outragious calls.. ( and bets too but i don't mind the bets ) and sucking out on so many players it was unbelieveable... good for the table once we knew what he was like though..
*note to Carla.. Sorry for letting on his tell !! stupid of me !
chips were being pass around like no bodys business and i was just waiting to catch him with a hand..
Now this is where my problem starts.. and i will be discussing this with John Conroy ( my badbeat mentor) I had a situation where i had raised with AQ of spades. the ATM ( thats my name for him and i will point him out to friends for a small fee !) pushes for all his chips pre flop .. The Big blind has 60% of his chips in because of a suckout from the ATM the hand before and the action returns to me.
Now i have a decision to make cause the ATM has me near enough as damn it covered ( i'm left with <1000 chips if i call and lose) so i make what i think is the right decision and lay down AQ spades pre flop... both players are on the backs and BB turns over A 9 ( not bad since he was all in anyhow ) and ATM turns over AJ.. Re raising with AJ !! told you he was a donk !
Anyhow i would have won the hand and took out the ATM or at least crippled him. But this is the problem.. Would you take on the risk that calling an all in with AQ suited for your tourny life.. i'm sure that John will say no but i'll let you know tomorrow..
other than that i finished in 24th position out of about 140 ish.. not a bad result but 10 off the money which upsets me cause i should be doing a lot better in this comp with the amount of avg players that are there.
On the online front my main supplier for online play has just moved to the ipoker network ( Mansion) now to say that ipoker hates me is an understatement so a move to betfair is looking on the cards ( thanks to sandy for sorting this asap .. What a trooper)
so the online hand i'll be showing will be from betfair in the next few weeks.. but the downside is i need another new nick for the software...
Answers on an email to me please !!
Speak soon all

Tuesday 23rd !
Well after a real uneventful night i manage to get in about 2 hours play on 2 tables for the massive profit of -$1.46 !! well the rake will cover that no problem anyhow...
But on a side note Well done to Frazer who contacted me when on the final table of the ladbrokes deep stack comp.. i managed to talk him out of a push with AQ os which enabled him not to donk off chips to a tight aggressive raiser who would have only called him with a hand that frazer was losing too. after that it was very ABC .. raising on the cutoff and button.. and then continuation betting on the flop.. he managed to pick up enough blinds to keep him safe until 3 handed when he rivered the full house against the guys nut flush..
Heads up play was a little long winded until the villian flat called the blinds with AK ( not a move i like) and let frazer check the BB with the monster hand of 10 3..
Flop comes 10 10 5 and villian pushes for all his 50k .. frazer insta calls with trip 10's ..
Turn comes Ace giving the villian a 4% chance of another ace but alas for him the river comes blank and frazer takes it down...
Nice one frazer.. your game has improved sooooo much since that young lad playing online a year ago ..
Well Mansions down all day so a day off effectivly.. what will i do with myself !
Later people
